Hey guys, I’ve been sick for the past five days. It first started with a sore throat, then I lost my sense of taste and smell. For the first three days, my tinnitus stayed at its usual low level. But now, it has ramped up pretty loud. I’m just wondering, has anyone else experienced this while...

Thank you, sir. Likewise, my friend.

I did, but back then I did not even know tinnitus was a thing. It was something me and my buddies did as part of a macho mindset, very dumb, yes, I agree. The upside is that I can still hear up to 20 kHz, so I have perfect hearing. Do I regret everything I did when it comes to shooting and...

Alright guys, today, April 13, 2025, marks one year since I got tinnitus from an incident where I fired 13 rounds from a 9mm without hearing protection. Before this happened, I had done a lot of shooting without ear protection. I went hunting, shot with friends, and celebrated New Year’s by...

No, but it did get better I’d say.

At this point, I really don’t have a choice. Like I said, I have to put food on the table for my family. I was just wondering if anyone here knows the math for NRR and whether I’m in the safe zone with double hearing protection. The jackhammer I was using peaked at around 120 decibels and ran...

Quick question, guys. I recently took a new job in construction, working with cement. Every other day, I have to use a jackhammer, which reaches peak decibels over 120. I have been using 3M foam earplugs with a 33 NRR along with 30 NRR earmuffs. From what I understand, the actual noise...

It does get better. Like you, I had a similar recovery. I still hunt and shoot occasionally. Always double up on hearing protection. I work in construction, so avoiding really loud noise is almost impossible. I am around steam lines, dump trucks, clanking rebar, and I run loud tools and...

Thank you so much for this. I have had tinnitus since April of last year due to acoustic trauma from a 9mm shot with no ear protection. For a while, I was doing great. Then, out of nowhere, it started coming back—all the stages of depression, the dark thoughts, the loudness. I guess you could...

Thank you so much for this. I have had tinnitus since April of last year, and for a while, I was doing great. Then, out of nowhere, it started coming back—all the stages of depression, the dark thoughts, the loudness. I guess you could say I had already habituated. I could be in a quiet room...

Hey are you doing Matthew ? Hope all is well with you bro

I’m in the same boat, brother. I’m six months in, dealing with unilateral tinnitus from shooting a 9mm without ear protection. It does quiet down over time. Just know it gets easier. I still have bad days, though. Stress and tiredness can have a negative effect on me, but it’s a lot less than...

Has the extremely high-pitched tinnitus improved for anyone here? Is anyone still active on this thread? I’m six months out from an acoustic trauma that occurred back in April. Initially, the tinnitus was extremely loud, but it has since faded to a hiss or whine. I don’t notice it when I’m...

How’s everybody doing? I know this is an old thread.

How have yall guys been lately ? Trying to hang in.

I might look into Treble Health myself. A fellow guy on r/guns mentioned that it healed him to the point where he no longer hears his tinnitus. I’ve been going over Ben Thompson's (Treble Health) videos on YouTube, and they are really knowledgeable about tinnitus. I've had mine for about seven...

Alright guys, I had an incident happen about a month and a half ago. I was shooting my 9mm pistol without ear protection (stupid, I know). I shot a 13-round magazine while target shooting. I didn’t notice the ringing right away, but it progressively got louder over two days. I developed an...
