It's now year three. Every December I think about how it turned on after a mild concussion. I saw my ENT a few times this year just in case...

It has been over two years for me, and I agree, you go to work and live day to day trying to ignore the tinnitus. A good day is one where you are...

Closing in on two years. Still sucks to have tinnitus. I have days where I can ignore it, but that's the best it can be. I still have moments...

I have had tinnitus for nearly two years now. It sucks. Life will not be the same unless a cure Is found.

Interesting post. You are not alone. Thinking of the past before tinnitus Is rough. All the what ifs. Scrutinizing ever tiny choice that would...

My last day of silence was in December of 2020. I was struggling with anxiety over work and other more trivial things at the time. Then I hit my...

It's been about a year and a half since my concussion and tinnitus onset. Tinnitus is still there. I still struggle with having it, but I have...

I can't imagine I am still inflamed over a year later, but tinnitus remains. I have to live with it, but concussion really stinks. I am used to...

Well it's been a year now. No more counting weeks or months. It's too bad it didn't just magically stop at a year. I don't really have anything...

Thanks for your responses. That sounds about right. I do suspect that my inability to filter out noise since my concussion Is likely my root...

So, struggling lately. It’s closing in on a year since that day when I hit my head. It's been the hardest year of my life. Not one second of...

I guess it's worth noting that my tinnitus seems less than it was in month one and two, but that may just be habituating. I just can't seem to...

Time for an update. I have been doing physical therapy on my neck for about a month. Did dry needling too. I feel like it helps, but tinnitus...

I can relate with this post. Is my neck causing tinnitus? Did having a concussion in and of itself cause tinnitus? Did my reaction of freaking out...

Duane. I can relate. My ringing started a week after concussion. In that week, I was just off with headaches and such. The ringing just turned...

Interesting. Did this Magnesium therapy reduce tinnitus for you?

I went to the physical therapist. My neck does in fact have some problems, and I have TMJ issues. The therapist suspects that some muscles at the...

Oscar PP - Yes, I have noticed some habituation, but it still bothers me that it's always there. Still, I tune it out when engaged in activity now...

@Exit, that's interesting. I find it so odd how a concussion affects hearing. Particularly a mild concussion like mine. I would have thought...

I did not lose any range of motion. I do get pain in my neck right from the base of the skull down to shoulders. It’s mild pain, but persistent....

Well I can sure say I don't much care for attics!

Here is my audiogram up to 8,000 Hz. I feel like my ears have been like this forever. My left ear is supposedly better than my right, but the...

Eight months later, my ears are still ringing. I have had a few times recently where it's a bit less intense or so it seems, but fluctuates and...

Ehren M.'s post sums up my past experience too. My mind has been hung up on "little things" I'd like to change for years until tinnitus took over....

Update. Well, it's been seven months. Tinnitus is still with me 24/7. I am not as bad with anxiety as in the beginning, but depression Is real. My...

I know what you mean about tinnitus and work. I ended up demanding to work from home as I could not bring myself to go in and socialize everyday...

@cruise, how long did it take before you habituated? Do you go days without thinking about your tinnitus? Do you feel like your tinnitus is...

My GP basically won't comment on tinnitus. Just sort of "yeah, that can happen". I told him it started after a concussion and he said that's odd....

I feel your pain with the low drone sound. I have had two courses of Prednisone since my tinnitus started but that did not improve anything. The...

I feel like I am habituating, but like this post title says, it still sucks. My tinnitus came on suddenly overnight. Before that absolute...

I have noticed this a bit too. I think rubbing your head seems to make our mind turn attention from tinnitus for a moment and focus on the sound...

I am now six months into tinnitus and I am still honestly struggling to believe the supposed root cause in my case. I have high pitched and a low...

Kavadog - asking you because you had concussion tinnitus like me. I have a low drone that is felt more than heard. Did you ever have that?...

Sounds like how I feel today. I'm thinking how can I have this bad luck? I had some idiot truck enthusiast honk his air horn at me while I was...

So, I really don't think the air horn did anything further to me, at least I hope not. Living with tinnitus is just so anxiety inducing. I have...

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I can't believe what happened to me today. I was running by a street like I have done a thousand times....

Thanks for the link on antidepressants. I can't imagine taking something that makes tinnitus worse in any way. I still don't know if I am going to...

Going on five months now since tinnitus onset. I am starting to habituate even though I still want it gone. I went to a chiropractor and just...

I have been back to running four miles about four times a week since my post in March. No effect on tinnitus, but it seems to help mood. I don't...

So, it's just about four months since my concussion and tinnitus onset. Man it's tough. It's 24/7 noise. Hard to cope. I guess I just hope for...

DRobi - I know we are not there yet, but one can only hope. I still hold out hope against odds that my brain will filter out this noise someday....

I often dream of what I would do. I know I would protect my hearing all that I possibly can. I would just sit in silence and read books, go on...

Mine seems better very first thing in the morning. The longer and deeper I sleep the better it is. It ramps back up to its typical volume pretty...

I can't seem to cut it out with always trying to pop my ears. My ENT says a concussion resulted in my brain stopping filtering out tinnitus from...

I've had exploding head syndrome happen right before falling asleep. Very rare for it to happen to me. It hasn't happened since I developed...

Interesting thread. I'm 3 months in concussion caused tinnitus much like Ronnie Carzotto above. He hasn't been seen here in over a year. Maybe his...

Sad to read this story. Sympathies to his family.

@Bradleytech386 - I'm sorry this is happening to you and well all of us with tinnitus as well. I know what you mean about sleep. I haven't been...

I have been taking Curcumin for about a month now. I recently added Lipoflavonoid. I don't know what I expected, but no help thus far after a few...

I often wonder about the link of anxiety and tinnitus myself. I certainly had a growing anxiety problem before tinnitus started in. I don't...

I often wonder this same thing. I know it's neurons, but it's odd because our brains are always firing immeasurable neurons since birth. Tinnitus...

I sometimes get, "it's just tinnitus", or "I know this person or that person with tinnitus and it's no big deal". Of course, those people have...

Well, three months in and tinnitus is still there. These have been the toughest three months of my life thus far thanks to tinnitus. I knew it was...

I wish I knew what it meant. Sometimes I feel like the feeling part may actually be low frequency tinnitus that I don't perceive very often like...

I hear tinnitus of course, but in a quiet room I swear I feel it too. I hear mine over the TV, but not the shower type of volume. Quiet rooms are...

I completely understand what you mean about trying not to dwell on it, but you can't stop. I am three months in and I dwell less than month one...

I've been experiencing tinnitus now for three months unfortunately. Before tinnitus, I was an avid runner for many years I haven't been running...

So, I saw my ENT for my hearing test. They did some test of my ear drum for fluid too. Not really the best of news. Ear drum test went fine,...
