My tinnitus is improving once again. I used to always play river flow sounds while working, but now I do it less and less. The tinnitus has become quite faint and rarely bothers me, even in silence. I already sold my firearms. My ENT doctor encouraged me to do so, and I took their advice...

Don't get me wrong, but two days is a very short time in the world of tinnitus. I'm four months in and only started noticing improvements after three months. According to a 2021 article, around 40% of people with mild tinnitus and 20% of those with severe tinnitus reported that their tinnitus...

Yesterday, a "super wise" colleague at work thought it would be funny to approach me from behind and shout something very loudly, right next to my head. As a result, I experienced immediate ear fullness. Fortunately, I haven't noticed a significant spike from it so far. Lesson learned. I...

Good afternoon, tinnitus friends! I am back with another update. In general, I feel that I am improving. The tinnitus volume has not visibly changed since I last posted here, but overall, it is much more tolerable than it was in the beginning. Earlier this week, I experienced some loud events...

Happy New Year, tinnitus friends! I think I’ve noticed another step forward in my journey. Every few weeks, I take a train to my dry eye clinic. Since the start of my tinnitus experience, I’ve been wearing earmuffs on the train. In the beginning, my tinnitus felt very pronounced while wearing...

I visited an ENT today, and the doctor advised me to avoid all loud activities for now, even when using ear protection, due to the risks associated with bone conduction. The doctor prescribed Prednisone (30 mg for 10 days) and explained that if there is inner ear inflammation, it might still...

Thank you, @Mark F.! :) I’ll go through your profile after my workday. I still hold on to some hope that things will get a little better for me, and I believe it can happen.

Hi guys! Michal from Poland here. I developed tinnitus a month ago after following some “great advice” from my father-in-law. He suggested I learn to use a chainsaw without hearing protection so I could better hear his tips and technique suggestions. He said, “I’ve been using a saw without...
