    Seven Months After Acoustic Trauma: Tangled Between Progress and Fear

    I’m happy to help and offer support wherever I can. This is a horrendous experience, and you’ll see a lot of hopelessness on these boards, but I think it’s important to emphasize that more people recover than don’t, especially after limited sound exposure. You can recover, no matter what anyone...

    How a Furnace Gave Me Severe Tinnitus and What the Last 7 Months Have Been Like

    Well noted, Sonia. Thank you for the update. I appreciate you, and thank you again for your kindness in responding. It is rather cold and windy today here in Pennsylvania, but I braved the weather to go shopping at Target and pick up my buds. I have them charging now and plan on using them in...

    How a Furnace Gave Me Severe Tinnitus and What the Last 7 Months Have Been Like

    I believe so, but I have an Android, so definitely confirm before buying. If you use them, be very careful with your volume. I kept mine at volume levels 1 to 3. Now that my symptoms have improved, I have stopped using them because even volume 1 seems too loud. You do not want to accidentally...

    Hearing Loss and Tinnitus After Indoor Shooting Incident

    Thanks for the feedback. It has now been eight weeks, and the ENT keeps telling me to give it time. I can deal with the tinnitus, but everyone’s voice sounds like a broken speaker. My ears are very sensitive to loud noises. What frustrates me the most is that it was my own stupid mistake. I am...

    I take either 100mg or 150mg a night, that and an average dose of 0.5mg of clonazepam are what keeps me functional and in work. Far from ideal, but at this point have very little choice, I need to pay a mortgage and actually still try to enjoy life a bit. I’ll cross the bridge of coming off them...

    Gun Range with Earmuffs: Hearing Loss

    I had an incident 9 days ago. I went to a gun range and shot firearms for the first time. I was provided with over-the-ear protection. Clearly, the protection was inadequate because as soon as I took the earmuffs off, my right ear felt wrong. I thought it would improve and go away on its own...

    Seven Months After Acoustic Trauma: Tangled Between Progress and Fear

    First, a huge thank you, Sonia and Scruffiey, for your kindness in replying. I appreciate you more than you can imagine. From everything I have read so far, if you have reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis, they say to stay away from light masking to ease daily distress. They also say that sound...

    Hearing-Safe Smoke Alarms for Tinnitus — LED Strobe Smoke Alarms?

    I first got tinnitus in 2012, but over the years it basically went away. I am not saying I habituated to it, but after around 2018 it was essentially gone. It would flare up a couple of times a year, then settle again. I was living a normal life. Last Saturday, eight days ago, my linked smoke...

    A 20M Student Facing Reactive and Somatic Tinnitus, Anxiety, and Setbacks After Onset in April

    Hello @ndhtdb, I have read your account of what may have happened. You have noise-induced tinnitus from headphone use. It is also what is called somatic, meaning you can change it through certain body movements. This is very common in noise-induced tinnitus and happens because other nerves...

    I take NAC whenever I leave the house. 600mg before I step out the door and another 600mg the same night before bed. If any sort of loud event happened while I was out, I'll continue taking it morning and night for several days. I used to also take Magnesium and vitamins A, C, E, but it became...
