A Second of 100 dB Sound from Headphones Caused My Tinnitus / Acoustic Trauma

Reduction in volume, headache levels, hyperacusis got much better.

Take care.

 

My tinnitus has increased a lot today. I hardly sleep. After 5 months, I am the worst I have ever been.

 

5 months have passed. My tinnitus got worse. I don't believe there is such a thing as recovery for me. For 5 months I have protected my ears from noise, even tried Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. My tinnitus gets worse as time passes.

 

6 months have passed. However, my tinnitus has not improved. The pressure in my ears has not gone away.

 

Not getting enough sleep can make it worse.

My husband has had severe tinnitus for over thirty years due to hundreds loud concerts. He has habituated to it 100%. I developed my high-pitched tinnitus in the fall and while he has given me hope he is now more aware of his tinnitus again because I talk about mine. I know it can be impossible to tune it out but I'm learning how to not focus on its overbearing obnoxiousness.

I hope you have things to distract you from yours. You are not alone in this and there is hope for habituation if it doesn't eventually go away or get better, which it might!

 

Hang in there. It takes me 12-18 months to fully habituate to spikes. G-d bless.

 

Thank you for your support. You give me the strength to endure this.

I hope my tinnitus goes down or I habituate.

 

I'm in month 5th month of a terrible spike. We can do this together. Please keep me informed.

I hope your tinnitus decreases. I will keep you updated. I hope I can deal with this.

Best wishes.

 

Six and a half months have passed. Nothing has changed.

 

Sorry man, that’s sad.

 

@SadMan, you are not alone.

I'm in my 3rd month of tinnitus relapse after a 8 year tinnitus-free period. It took me almost 2 years after my tinnitus first appeared to habituate.

This time is much worse. Hissing, typewriter tinnitus, hyperacusis, insomnia, earaches. 2 months and no change.

Are you taking any supplements for the moment?
I am taking Magnesium bisglycinate, NAC, Melatonin, Tulsi tea.

It's very difficult for me to cope with it. And my biggest fear is that it could get worse. It's hard enough already.

 

I'm taking Magnesium and vitamin D.

What caused your tinnitus? Did the acoustic trauma cause your tinnitus?

 

That fear of getting worse is making it worse lol. I’m going through that.
