There is really nothing you can do except give it lots of time.

I'm doing much better, maybe 70% better after 7 weeks, so the good news is it looks like it will fade away. The bad news is a 4-second innocent scream at a family game table can set off weeks of tinnitus, that tells me that we must stay vigilant for the rest of our lives! As far as ear...

For me, the fading was so gradual that over the course of a couple week period I did not notice any fading, but over the course of a couple of months, I could start to notice improvement. I started keeping a journal and would write down the sounds and tones I would hear and any pain/pressure I...

Going through the hell of tinnitus was the most difficult time of my life, hands down. Thankfully my wife was very supportive, unlike some of my family how just didn't get it. My first acoustic trauma caused such piercing tinnitus I felt my life was over, I spent days in bed with a sound...

My first trauma was from a riding lawnmower that had a bad muffler (it wasn't even my lawnmower). I stupidly kept mowing (no earplugs!) for about 45 minutes until my ears actually hurt. I had tinnitus & hyperacusis, pain and fullness for months. Screaming loud tinnitus. I was suicidal. But it...

I just protect my ears form noise. Also, I found low sodium diet helps while I'm recovering (maybe salty foods cause the inner ear swelling?). Drink plenty of water and give it lots and lots of time. My first tinnitus took over 12 months to fade to zero, my second tinnitus (12 years after the...

Yes, I experienced hyperacusis and pain all three times I had tinnitus, but it all went away in time. Acute acoustic trauma (not long-term noise exposure) usually resolves itself in 12-18 months.

My (3rd time) tinnitus has faded quite a lot. It has been about 7 weeks now. I would say it is about 60% faded. When it first happened, I thought it would take between 3-6 months to fade away, and I would say it seems to be recovering right on schedule. I hope it goes 100% Gone!

Yea, it might have been louder, but it seems it was the tone that rattled my ears? It was kind of a baritone yell. Not really much of a delayed onset in my past bouts with tinnitus, although it got progressively worse for the first few days. Maybe my inner ears were swelling. I haven't really...

I do have slight hyperacusis from it, but nothing like the first 2 traumas from years past. I also have slight pain. The scream only lasted about 3 seconds but it felt like a vibration in my ear nerves. My guess is it was in the 80-85 dB range so I doubt it caused any permanent damage, it's just...

I can tell you I had really loud tinnitus with pain and fullness about 12 years ago from an acoustic trauma and it faded completely in about 1 year. Then about 5 years ago I had a second acoustic trauma from an outdoor church concert. That also faded (95%) in about 18 months. So I would...
