    Tinnitus After Friend Struck My Face Near My Ear with Her Elbow

    I recently sustained a blow to my left cheekbone while on a train in NYC. I was with a friend, and as the train lurched erratically, we both reached for our cases to prevent them from flying. In the process, she accidentally struck me with her elbow. The impact was so hard that I felt woozy and...

    I recommend seeing an audiologist and getting yourself some good molded earplugs. It seems like you still like to go out to loud places, you want the best protection possible. Best of luck, my friend. And protect, protect protect, your ears.

    Surgery Anxiety: Did Your Tinnitus Stay the Same?

    ...heard of people developing my form of tinnitus, a deep droning hum, after an epidural. I don’t mean to scare you, but I wanted to mention it since I’ve come across similar cases. On a positive note, my friend experienced tinnitus while she was pregnant, and it disappeared after she gave birth.

    Tinnitus from Friend Screaming in Ear

    Hi everyone, To introduce myself, I got T almost a week ago from a friend screaming in my ear from excitement to see me when she hugged me. It sounds a bit like an old dial up modem with a couple of tones in my right ear. I've made a doctors appointment for this weekend, and in the meantime...

    Sorry to read that :( i can understand how you feel. Try giving yourself time, that is what i say to myself too. T and all it's effects can be so harsh.

    Super Loud Car Engine Revved Nearby, Covered My Ears with My Fingers — Could That Be Enough to Cause Damage?

    Mid-Infrared Photons Alleviate Tinnitus by Activating the KCNQ2 Channel in the Auditory Cortex

    In this study, infrared light was used on the auditory cortex, which is located in the temporal lobe. The paper mentions the use of patch-clamp testing. I’m not a scientist, but I believe this procedure requires a craniotomy.
