they have no idea what tinnitus and hearing loss is thats why. i was the same too. i use to blast 100db in my ear while riding a subway in an already loud city ahhh ignorance is bliss

@KoolKat i dont mean the people who wear earbuds or headphones i understand that one. But those who just blast it for everyone to hear

I watched hunter hunter back in 2018 for the 1st time n was BLOWN away. they created my other favorite YUYU HAKUSHOW.
Funny thing with attack on titans is I only watch the first season cause I made a stupid vow in 2014 to
Not continue the later seasons until my tinnitus goes away.

The only reason I watched hunter hunter was cause I didnt expect it to be good I thought it was a kids show. But boy was I wrong. All im going to say is… the Ant arc… lord have mercy. speechless. Such a good arc. I cant wait until the author gets better. I want to see whats all the ruckus about these dark continents. it was depressing to see how they struggled with the ants. that saga was 1 of my top 5 arcs period.

r you familiar with toonami? If so This will make you cry

stuff like that is what keeps me alive.

@Strawberryblonde yea it might be that. It usually happens after wearing muffs for a long time so maybe i just get a bubble in my ear that i pop afterwards. If i pop my good ear My t just goes away there most of the time

It's good that it goes away a majority of the time :)

i wish my left ear would do the same but im lucky enough that my right ear is good

Its great isnt it? 4 months is a short period so im hopefull you wil get better. have you noticed any improvements?

Thank you I hope so too. I have noticed small improvements. My tinnitus definitely has improved but the reactivity has started recently about a few weeks ago.

@Authier i hope it keeps improving. remember to protect when needed. and most importantly dont be ashamed of protecting or telling people about your situation. you have to live with it

@Strawberryblonde Same audiogram for me (these standard tests are really useless lol) , I posted the result in my thread a good while ago. What does yours usually react to with distortions/reactivity?

Anything low frequency or white noise like. The boiler in the kitchen is on and yet I can just about hear beeps going along with it. Frustrating cause it has sort of disappeared before or I've not noticed it then bam it's back. Going on 10 months nearly now :( @TheCapybara

@Strawberryblonde If it's low frequency, do you ever hear it in people's voices too? I guess it'll come and go, any accoustic trauma seems enough to bring it back just when it calmed down a bit, had that happen during new years fireworks.

Going on 8 months soon, gotten more used to it by now at least but I hope it'll improve more, for all of us.
