    Hello Phil. I had that same "injured" feeling for months. - Go on with your life (I used to hate that advice), eat well, exercise, and mask occasionally. The first few months really sucked mostly because I know exactly what I did over a 2 hour period that caused it.

    There are people who have it for a year or so and fully recover to where they barely hear it anymore. - How & when did you get your T?

    I remember waking up with it after swimming. I'm not very sure how I got it, but I used to use headphones an awful lot and listen to music quite loud and go to clubs. I know people who do the same and don't have it but its different for everyone I guess.

    It may be because I've always had very sensitive hearing and could hear everything. I'd say I have it for almost 2 years now. I feel like its gotten a bit better, do you think there are chances it can still heal and alleviate? I'm 25 years old.

    Yes, there is still a chance that it can alleviate. -- I think the key is to not focus on it. -- Definitely stay away from going to clubs without using ear plugs and don't use the ear buds unless you can keep the noise level down.

    Sounds (pun intended) like we both have the same level in one ear. At least we don't have it in both ears. Can you imagine? -- If you have a passion for something, I suggest jumping on it to redirect your energy. That along with meditation, exercise, and a good diet will do wonders.

    Thanks for the advice. It feels good to speak to someone with the same issue that has a positive outlook!

    My pleasure Phil. Now find your passion and leave T behind. -- Most rock stars and many famous people like David Letterman have and so can we! :-)
