Separate names with a comma.
Couldn't tell you for certain, perhaps a year? I went through a spike at about 6 months which was absolutely horrific, and then it began to...
I suspect I saw the moment some more poor folk got T this week. I was at a gig, and before anyone asks I was fully plugged up and stood right at...
Saw them at Reading Festival last year. A good set of earplugs do wonders. Amazing show As to the thread title, eat, sleep, work and never go...
I'm suffering similarly at the moment due to a bout of sinusitis. Hang in there, it will get better. Mind you, I've had mine over a month! It...
I still go out, and go to gigs. I'm going to one on Saturday. A good set of earplugs and standing somewhere sensible and it's fine. I've not had...
Yes, I think I've mentioned before on here I was in the middle of, what still is, the most stressful time of my life by a mile when my T started....
I got my T from working with heavy machinery, going to (many) gigs and DJing at clubs. I remember clearly all the feelings you are having now when...
It happens to me. I tend to listen to podcasts. I'm usually asleep before the intro has finished! Best thing for me.
A friend of mine I go to gigs with has a similar outlook. I mentioned to him I had given myself T a month or two after the original incident. He...
Mine decreased over time, until it hit a 'level' and it stayed there. You will get spikes where it is suddenly louder, for a reason or not (mine...
None at the time! That was the problem! I now wear ER20s for low level stuff and 40db foam plugs for gigs. The ER20s are good for normal ears in...
My experience is it can definitely make it worse.
Mine is a continuous high tone. They were syringed by my practice nurse here in the UK. I'd read on here before about the problems it can cause,...
Nearly nothing. I listen to alot more music. I wear plugs alot (to stop it worsening!) and I take magnesium and B Vits (Whether they work or not,...
Agreed. After my wax was removed my T was reduced down to a much more manageable level. I haven't had my ears looked at in the 3 years since I...
^^ Yup. I spent years working with loud heavy machinery, DJing, using loud headphones and going to gigs with little effect. I went to a gig after...
Not entirely sure. It was some time around the New Year. The only loud place I went was the pub before Christmas, and it wasn't even that loud,...
Suffering a spike myself at the moment. First one in 18 months or so :(. It's getting me down, I won't lie. I think it's caused my a massive sinus...
Started at age 25, last winter (that age area seems to be pretty common among users on here!) Work with loud agricultural machinery all my life...
I suffer with my back (sometimes to the point of not being able to leave the floor!) and have bouts of taking quite a bit of Ibuprofen, I've not...
How loud is the noise? Plain foam plugs may be the only way. I do tend to use my Sennheiser in ear plug type ones to isolate low level machine...
Fantastic news :)
I'd reccomend the ER20 Plugs. A side note on this, I've been to two gigs in the last three weeks. My first since my first T experience last year....
For me, earplugs for long periods don't bother me. I'm usually good for a 2 or 3 hours with the foam ones, less with the ER20s but I usually take...
Cheesecake! Seriously, it's not something I'm thinking about, it will come along when it comes.
I've had on off Sinusitius for months since I got my second wave of T. Unsure if it's connected. Going back to the Doc to get mine looked at again...
I find it depends on the sound, I'm very sensitive to high pitched sounds. I can hear them from a great distance away now!
I still use mine, but for short periods only really. They are handy on the old vintage tractors, as having them (in ear type) in is nearly as good...
I agree entirely, plugs everywhere.
I used to only notice it at bedtime. Now I hear it when I use the computer or when I drive.
If it gives you some hope, my ears have been popping and gurgling this morning and it seems to have brought down the level. The in ear pain has...
I think it's at least partly responsible. It's a three way thing I think, a mild increase due to a Wedding Disco (but a week later I'd forgotten...
I had habituated to my T, but have had on off sinus issues for a month or so and that has contributed to making mine worse. I'm going to try and...
Does anyone else get these? Went to a couple of clubs last night, all ear plugged up from start to finish. Woke up this morning with a spike in...
I've read somewhere Justin Hawkins from The Darkness has pretty severe T.
When I've worn plugs at events, I've had no issues, however please never forget them! I've made that mistake, and it does make things worse :(....
@jazz Thanks for the positive thoughts, I need them at the minute! I'm still hopeful this will go down back to where it was. Doc says I have no...
I have one friend who also has it, but he says he has always had it for as long as he can remember, and it's never bothered him as he's never...
Can certainly vouch for that. Originally had mine due to a combination of wax and a rock concert, got shot of it with syringing. It came back for...
As others have said, see your GP. Also, if you go to loud events/clubs/gigs please take plugs. Damage is cumulative, as others have said. Mine...
Thanks for merging this in, it's put my mind at rest that this is pretty normal. Cheers :)
Daft as you like, sat loading straw bales on my tractor this afternoon (one hand on the wheel, one on the loader controls so no hands free) I was...
@Map I attend concerts irregularly, but only with plugs. I don't really go clubbing, never have. As I said in my other thread, what's pushed my...
@Map What caused your volume jump, if you don't mind me asking? That is my biggest fear. Currently I can cope, I'm not sure if I could if it was...
The battle I fight is not letting is get worse. I work in a noisy environment every day, sometimes with completely unexpected noise peaks. If I...
Get some proper plugs, I use these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000UJ8RHE/?tag=tinntalk-21
I think that is key, actually, protect your ears, starting now. What's done is done, I myself have it from attending concerts and working on heavy...
@Per I didn't, my doctors inference was that attending rock concerts regularly without earplugs damaged my inner ear, as well as working on loud...
@Per When I initially got my (noise induced) T, it came with a deep ear pain, from the damage I caused the ear canal. After getting up this...
I began to notice T more after a wedding (see this thread: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/long-night.1772/ ) and have been concentrating on...
Additionally, I'm rather hoping a good nights sleep (finally going to get one!) tonight will help me on the road.
@DezDog I agree with your post entirely, you've summed up far better than I could how I choose to deal with it.
I'm pleased it has offered some hope to you. Currently it's really getting to me again, like the days it first started. The level is nowhere near...
Just to add to what everyone has said, it will get better. It's almost impossible at first, but try not to listen for it deliberately. that's the...
Cheers Guys, it's just nice to have somewhere people understand and listen. A long nights sleep is certainly in order.
Just had my first bad night in 6 months. I had conditioned myself to my T which is at a very low level, but the genie is out of the bottle again...
I had my ears syringed after suffering very bad T after a rock concert. It was bad in one ear and not the other. This syringing cleared up the bad...
Am a farmer, and have it. Think it was a combination of going to rock concerts and loud tractors. Yet, things were worse in my dad's time, on both...
I knew about it. I was always a big rock music fan, and a truck driver warned me once when I was about 18, to "Always wear plugs, or you're ears...
Cheers Guys :). You could say I've learnt my lesson, and that I'm one of the lucky ones who will get a second chance. Wish you all the best...
