Your emotional outburst is sad, yet slightly amusing to me. For the final time, you never answered my question. That tells me that you know I am correct. You need to grow up and learn to face the harsh truth. You and I, and our people, are being replaced. It's not a "conspiracy theory". It's a...

I won't waste time arguing with you. You are either in deep denial of reality or just too proud to admit that I am right. Good day to you. You do a lot of talking/insulting, but you don't actually say much. So, once again, are your countries being flooded with non-White "immigrants" or not?

Once again, you didn't disagree with my initial assertions. Why? Because you know I speak the truth, however uncomfortable it may make you. So, like the others here, you have to be dismissive towards me because you can't refute my assertions. That would make YOU the hoser! Your country, Canada...

On the other hand, I know more than a handful of people who have had tinnitus since their late teens or early twenties, mostly from military service. They report no further worsening in the past 25 to 35 years. We are not necessarily doomed.

C'mon, mate. Don't play obtuse. You, of all people (living in Norway), should be aware of the "immigration" problems Europe is currently facing. Who do you think is orchestrating that? Do you think it's a mere coincidence that only White nations are being burdened with all this "immigration"? Do...

I like your avatar!

I truly hope you find some relief. Keep hanging in there!

Why "Oh dear..."??? Are you suggesting that we all turn a blind eye to what is happening in our world? If you think I am incorrect, please point out where I am wrong.

I'm not the thought-police. No need for the disclaimer regarding your political standpoint. I personally think Hitler was right about a lot of things. Just look at the "immigration" (invasion) problems ALL White nations are faced with today. Look at the stranglehold a certain tribe has on all...

Sweet Hitler face in your avatar!

Sounds like her God complex was in overdrive. I would never go back to her.

The lady performed a Tympanometry test on me, and you are correct—it was not loud. I asked if she planned to do an Acoustic Reflex Test, and she said no. The whole process went smoothly. My hearing has remained virtually the same as it was two years ago. I still hear quite well for a 55-year-old.

I hope you will be okay. I am taking a hearing test tomorrow, and I will ask exactly what they plan to do and how loud it will be.

I wish you the best. Keep protecting your ears, and get out there to start enjoying life again!

Moldex “Spark Plugs” foam earplugs. Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) 33 dB. They work very well.

Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Believe it or not, life will go on for you. It takes time, patience, and protecting your delicate ears.

Good for you! I’m glad it has improved. You are still very young, and there is a chance it may fade away completely over time. Keep protecting your ears!

@FellowSufferer, how much improvement have you gotten?

I am so sorry that you have had to struggle for so long. Perhaps, when you eventually pass on to whatever may await us after this life, you will find some form of reward or peace.

Yes! The Benz cure is REAL, baby!

Glad to hear that you are doing well. Stay strong!

There is definitely a chance for a full recovery (no more tinnitus). If it was only a few rounds fired and you are so young, you have good odds of recovering. Stay hopeful. Stay strong. And maybe no more guns for you. If you do continue to shoot, use earplugs and wear earmuffs on top of them...

After experiencing a few incidents at the gym where someone dropped the weight stack on a cable machine, creating a loud metal-on-metal sound, I started wearing foam earplugs during my workouts. I do wonder about the pressure that builds up when squatting heavy, but I think that’s the lesser of...

Sorry to hear that your tinnitus has worsened. Was the muffler explosion recent? I haven’t returned to work yet. I might try going back to the machine shop later this year on a part-time basis, just to test the waters. Are you still working in a CNC milling factory?

I do have a baseline, fortunately. To those of you with reactive tinnitus, I truly feel for you. Hopefully, someone who can better relate to your struggles will comment soon. Stay strong!

I’m so happy to hear that you’ve found a major improvement! Welcome to the site! There are many kind and helpful people here who can support you.

Well said!

@DamagedJoe, what you shared is a good sign, in my humble opinion. If your “archenemy” tone comes and goes, it might be a sign of healing!

Have you tried a simple, old-fashioned box fan? You can adjust the settings to low, medium, or high. It provides a soothing, hypnotic drone to fall asleep to.

THIS! I totally understand, as I’m sure most of us here do. Welcome to a club of torture that few of us even knew existed. All I can say is to keep putting one foot in front of the other—and remember TPP: Time, Protection, and Patience. Protect your damaged ears from now on and for the rest of...

I hope someone with more knowledge about air pressure changes, whether the ear canals need to be unobstructed during these changes, and basic tips for flying with tinnitus chimes in.

I’ve flown 3- to 5-hour flights several times over the past 1.5 years, and I always put in foam earplugs before takeoff, leaving them in until the plane has landed. Fortunately, I don’t experience reactive tinnitus, and this method has worked well for me without any issues. I agree with you—if...

Your symptoms sound a bit like mild vertigo. I experienced something similar once. I felt dizzy and noticed I was walking more slowly and upright, trying to maintain my balance. When I visited my doctor, he discovered a ball of earwax in one of my ears. After flushing it out with water, I felt...

Alcoholics have Alcoholics Anonymous meetings they can attend, for fellowship and support. People like us with ear issues need something similar. A place we can meet up, face to face, and help one another get thru this ordeal.

My “therapy” was a complete joke. It cost $175 for a 50-minute session, and all she basically said was, “Think positive thoughts.” She was supposed to be a CBT therapist, but it was a total waste of my time and money. It’s shameful that they charge so much for such worthless drivel.

I want to repeat my advice to you: stop trying to find a cure, supplement, surgery, pill, or anything else to fix this. Just stop and do nothing for now. Instead, try to grit your teeth and bear it. Your wife and kids need you to be strong. It will be tough for a while, no doubt, but things...

Congratulations! I’m so glad to hear that you’ve gotten better. Please make sure to protect your ears for the rest of your life and help spread awareness about these challenging conditions to your friends, family, coworkers, and others.

I know this is really tough. Believe me, I understand. We all do. Please do whatever you think is best for you. I truly hope things start to calm down, and I believe they can if you just give it some time. Hang in there, for your family and for yourself. I am rooting for you!

Sir, with all due respect, you may want to stop. Stop researching surgeries. You experienced acoustic trauma, an injury caused by noise, during the MRI just a month ago. Give your ears and psyche time to heal. Pursuing surgery so soon could potentially worsen your condition, leading to...

Hang in there! There are so many stories of improvement, sometimes gradual and other times sudden, that happen over months or even years. One month is just the beginning of the journey. Think of this as a marathon, not a sprint. The TPP formula (Time, Protection, Patience) is your best...

How are you doing, Matthew? Has your tinnitus faded any? Has your hearing improved?

Hang in there, @delta784. I know it is really tough right now, but just keep taking things one step at a time. This mindset helped me get through the first difficult six months.

What is "severe, catastrophic OCD"?

What weapons do you think caused your tinnitus? Were you issued any hearing protection during your time in the military? I’m sorry you’re going through this difficult experience. Please hang in there!

Suicide rates in the military are alarmingly high. I believe tinnitus is the #1 disability claim among veterans. Sadly, not everyone in the military is able to survive this struggle.

@FellowSufferer, can you elaborate on the story of the person you know whose tinnitus from a gunshot faded?

Hello, Michal. I’m sorry to hear about your situation. While I’m not a sport shooter myself, my tinnitus also resulted from shooting guns. Perhaps something in my threads or posts could be helpful to you, or maybe some of the other shooters here will share their insights soon. Hang in there!

I’m glad to hear you are getting a reprieve from the tinnitus! Enjoy the silence while you can. That said, please be very cautious with mind-altering medications prescribed by doctors. In my humble opinion, taking medication these days can feel like playing Russian roulette—you never know what...

Maybe practices like meditation, yoga, or entering trance states could help slow the brain waves. Even if they do not have a noticeable effect on tinnitus, they might still provide a deeply relaxing and pleasant experience—something I think we could all use more of.

@knk89, how are you holding up?

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I also developed tinnitus from shooting. You might find something helpful or relatable in my previous posts or threads—feel free to check them out. Hang in there! This could improve with time or even go away completely.
