    Six-Year Tinnitus Journey, Setbacks, and Questions About Triggers and Treatment

    Thanks. A part of me thought the shout was not part of the damage, but sadly it only makes sense that it was. I am in a bit of a dilemma as well. I perform on stage, and this has me thinking that I may have to retire after my next show. Or should I quit now before the show and let them find...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Hello, I'm new to signing up to this forum, not to reading it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have a severe subjective tinnitus in my left ear due to damage from loud noise exposure (I actually felt pain when it happened). For years I've been struggling to cope. Thoughts of...
