I am currently 2 months in to acoustic trauma after gunshot went off by my head inside my closet. Is there still a chance mine can get better?

For many people (including myself), the head movement affects a lot the tinnitus volume, this is called somatic tinnitus. Mine increases by rotating the head to left/right and moving my jaw in front. My hyperacusis and tinnitus are from acoustic trauma also.

Welcome to the forum @jazzcatt. Head trauma is a well known cause for causing tinnitus. If there is not enough response to you, you can try to post it to the main support forum or just search the forums with 'head trauma'. There have been much discussion on this in the past as in below link. So...

After reading the work of Megan Beers Wood and reflecting on my own experiences, I would say yes. Why take the risk?

For me, it's not just "sometimes"—it's like I've been trapped in a nightmare ever since this torture began. I’m even in a state that feels similar to depersonalization/derealization (DP/DR). My sense of reality is distorted; it’s as if I’m perceiving the world in two dimensions, living behind a...

T from head trauma is indeed a league of it's own. It's totally different than noise induced tinnitus. Post concussion Tinnitus can last any where from weeks, months or even some cases years. Most doctors are now just beginning to understand head trauma and Tinnitus. Here's a good read...

Thank you Billie!

I would like to talk to you, I also have severe tinnitus from a head trauma.

Hello, everyone! I joined these boards about a month ago and made an introductory post about a week after an event that I had believed to cause my tinnitus. I had initially believed my tinnitus to have been caused by an acoustic trauma. To sum it up, I went to see the movie Dunkirk in standard...

It sounds as if you had an amazing experience randomly finding the right medical people. I wish we all had such success. I've seen a number of so-called experts, and not one has mentioned nerves, magnesium, Ginkgo biloba, etc... It's a shame we do not have a list of the names of the amazing 1%...

Pretty worried about upcoming hearing test. I had one a day after the acoustic trauma. But right ear feels weaker…hope it’s just in my head

Thinking about how Tavares gets kneed in the head and is ok while I experienced emotional trauma and get tinnitus and visual snow syndrome.

Do you have TMD, or cervical issues? head trauma

Do you have hearing loss, TMD, cervical issues, head trauma?

I had my teeth cleaned recently, took NAC, and brought earmuffs, although I had to take them off since I couldn't turn my head in the chair. I made sure they didn't use ultrasonic equipment. I apparently have a couple of small cavities, which the dentist states should be addressed. Due to the...

Yes.

Hi @Furetto, I hope you're doing well! I've been trying this technique, and in the beginning, it felt like I was repeating the phrase to myself every 10 seconds. I kept doing that for about 3–4 days, even writing it down in my phone's notes app. After that, I started forgetting to do it, but...

My mom. She got it from a head trauma.

Yet, for me it did. My first ever really bad morning was after the first ENT/audiologist visit. I refused all tests, except the audiogram. I woke up to a head full of tinnitus, and cried for the first time in 30+ years. This was approximately 3.5 weeks after the initial acoustic trauma and I had...

I was part of a clinical study at the San Francisco VA. Before surgery, I underwent several pre-surgical evaluations, including hearing tests, cognitive assessments, and an fMRI. I had DBS implantation surgery on June 26, 2016, which involved placing a stimulator in my chest and two brain...

I am in the same boat with firearm related acoustic trauma, a little over four months in. I was wearing hearing protection, but I guess my ears were too sensitive. Initially, I only had a mild buzz and some reactive tinnitus triggered by activities like driving or showering. Thankfully, it would...

do you have jaw problems, TMD, cervical (upper spine issues)? Head trauma?

Welcome to the forum. It seems that head trauma or head injury has been cited as a cause for tinnitus. If there is not enough response here in the Introduction area, you can try to post about it on the main support forum. You can also try to do a search on 'head trauma' on all prior discussions...

Hi @Kiro. Welcome, and I'm sorry you are dealing with this. You are in the "shit luck" category. Yes, snowboarding or skiing are somewhat risky sports, but this kind of injury could happen to anyone, just slipping on a sidewalk and hitting your head. Or in a car crash. Many of us here are with...

Hi Josh, Do you still have T. Please provide an update on your T caused by Trauma. I can relate to you since my T also started 50 days after head trauma.

Yes, I can 100% relate to this. You have been through an "acoustic trauma", due to your previous fragile ears. This has happened to me as well - pretty much feeling exactly the same way you described it in the quote. There is also a great component of stress and anxiety mixed into this, which...

Hello Everyone! My name is Kriszti, I'm 31 and I'm from Eastern Europe. Here is my tinnitus (?) story an I have some questions at the end. In 2016, my left ear rang for 2 weeks, went to audiology, ended up with an Eustach tube problem, but the ringing stopped. At the beginning of 2017, it made...

Hmmm, I cannot find the exact forum post I read earlier where the person with drug-induced tinnitus eventually had it fade to almost nothing, but here is something from Google’s AI search. I know it is not necessarily infallible, but still worth noting: Have you had a hearing test? That would...

My first session starts on 4th September. I also thought about blood flow, because I can actually hear blood flow in there and it does feel heavy, like I can feel blood moving around. A strange sensation. It's quite bad :( But this wouldn't cause a long term issue?

Lp is lumbar puncture. I had high intracranial pressure after head trauma.

Hang in there brother, if there was no associated noise trauma, these spikes usually settle down, and even with noise trauma it could also settle down.

Wasn’t your head tinnitus gone after Korea?

Airbag trauma from head on collision most likely. It set in a month after the hyperacusis began on 6/19.

You can get T from the sound the airbag makes as well as the head trauma.

A neurologist I saw (the most helpful of them all) talked about central sensitization but didn’t mention thalamic dysrhythmia. I’ll read about it. Interestingly, you mention TMJ & neck issues because an ongoing problem of mine is the right side of my head, neck, and down to my hip. Are...

...Have you had abnormal bleeding? Has your doctor checked your hemoglobin levels? It's interesting that you say the MRI tech noted head trauma. That can be a potential cause of tinnitus. However, it doesn't quite make sense to get a "whoosh" from head trauma. There are websites for...

...and to offer my condolences for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one. I know that tinnitus can be caused by many things: Head Trauma, Hearing Loss, Ototoxic Medicine, etc.. Am I, and by extension, other members of this forum, more likely to suffer tinnitus spikes from these...

Since this thread has surfaced again, and after reading all comments once again, my heart goes out to all who have experienced trauma. "The conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma" — Judith Herman...

I remember stretching my neck before swimming and noticing I could "hear" a high-pitched tone as I twisted my head around. This was exactly three weeks prior to my onset, eight years ago. I thought it had to be really tough to deal with the condition and just three weeks later... BAM! Maybe I...

I'm wondering if a blood vessel could compress the 8th nerve due to head trauma? Thanks.

It would be interesting to know whether the hyperacusis that causes the tensor tympani muscle to vibrate and hurt on sound input after a history of sound shock/trauma is equivalent to inner ear pain hyperacusis. Norena also mentions inflammation/contraction of the nerves innervating the tensor...

Do you have any history of noise exposure, ototoxic medicines, do you have TMD, cervical issues, or head trauma?

So this acoustic trauma happened over a year ago and your spike is still subsiding? That gives me some hope as I'm 2.5 months into a spike and I haven't seen any improvement.

Any insights you've found in your time with this? My tinnitus has only two levels: on or off. If my environment is even 1 decibel below my masking threshold, the tinnitus goes full blast, but once it hits this threshold, it completely turns off. Not all of my tinnitus is like this; it is just...

@IAmCalifornia how loud is your T? Do you have hearing loss, TMD? Neck problems? Head Trauma?

I have T due to head Trauma. One of those surprise attacks from behind by 2 criminals.

No.

I really hope it's head trauma, and can go away. Better safe than sorry.

It took a month or two to resolve. It comes back occasionally if I am very stressed. I recently had a head cold and it came back then, but resolved when my congestion cleared up. I wondered about hydrops in the past, especially closer to the acoustic trauma because my ears would have a "wet"...

@The Red Viper Given your username I always just assumed it was from head trauma.

Sharpfire - not all tinnitus is due to ear problems. Mine is from a car accident - head & neck trauma.

Not that I know of...

Thank you for replying. I am about five months into dealing with tinnitus following gunshot acoustic trauma to one ear. Initially, I had very mild hyperacusis, which faded after about a month. The aural fullness has improved by around 80 percent over the past four months. I also have mild...

Thank you for your reply, @Nettles. It sounds like you’re going through something very similar. I’ve experienced the same issue with songs—it felt like I had an MP3 playing in my ears for a few minutes. I’ve stopped listening to music because I’m afraid it will stick in my brain. The phrase...

Hi All, I'm now 11 weeks into my struggle with tinnitus, hyperacusis (pain mostly) and TTTS. Tinnitus My tinnitus seems to have settled slightly or I'm just getting used to it? I can only really hear it in quiet rooms so I'm lucky in that respect (I know others have it much worse). I used to...

http://www.quietridehelmets.com/ Standard helmets are designed to protect against head trauma, and not noise protection. I would recommend to combine earplugs, with a helmet designed to reduce noise as well, if/when you decide to ride again.

Was that rattlesnake's tail sound, all over the top of your head, due to hearing loss? I have that two, sometimes three days a week. It's very hard to deal with. It started as a spike, and then has kept coming back. Mine started from a very bad mechanical trauma to the middle ear muscles. It is...

Days like today, in my head. Like an electrical wire has been jammed in it. It's not particularly loud all the time, but reacts to everything. Other days it's extremely quiet and tonal and I don't even notice it Basically a day of what I had before this second acoustic trauma in January (mild)...
