    Can Rosemary Oil on the Scalp Worsen Tinnitus?

    Thanks but the ringing thankfully went back down to a normal level by the next day. So happy I was vigilant to notice the increase and associate it with the rogaine. I just started applying rosemary, jojoba, and several other oils as a natural hair growth remedy instead, and am about to add...

    I may have hyperacusis too, since playing ping pong was nearly unbearable from the high frequency "pongs" the ball made... or the sound of clanking dishes... are these signs of possible hyperacusis and/or hearing loss?

    Should I Take a Break from Making Music Because of Tinnitus?

    Yeah, this makes me feel like live performances and touring may be out the window for me... :( But at the end of the day all I really want, now that things are put into perspective, is to have 'healthy' hearing, with little impairment on my mental state, and the ability to continue making music...

    Should I Take a Break from Making Music Because of Tinnitus?

    Thank you so much for your in depth response. I truly appreciate all the insights, reference anecdotes and suggestions. Would you recommend not even listening to music?

    Thank you for your answer :) So are you suggesting not to listen to music or play piano/guitar.produce music on my computer until the noise fades away? Or just not to listen/record with headphones, just a speaker and at low levels?
