From Down in the Dumps to Living My Life Again — My Tinnitus Has Gotten Better

Hello,

It has now been 3 months since I said I was going to end my life. You can read the post I wrote on the introduction thread if you wish. Do I still have tinnitus? Yes but it's fading and hopefully it will fade away completely.

I have changed a couple of things. First, I changed my diet, I just started to eat more healthy foods second I started to relax more and started a new hobby and that was creating relaxation videos. I'm lucky to live walking distance to the countryside and it gets me away from the misses. I now sleep for around 7 hours a night and I manage this by moving into my own room and using blackout blinds. I also started to take cold showers once a day. Now for exercise, I find if I do any intense exercise my tinnitus does slightly increase, so I just stick to walking.

That's it really guys. If anything changes, I will come back and report it.

Take care all.

 

Glad to hear you're doing better. How much do you think it has faded? I feel like mine has become quieter during the day, but louder during the night! So strange..

 

Have you had an audiogram and do you have hearing loss?

 

Hi @Smithy27! I'm glad to hear that things are going better for you! What was the cause of your t and did you take any supplements to help?

 

Hi all. Mine was caused by kids throwing a firework at me. Lost some high pitch hearing in left ear so I can't hear the high pitch ones in my left ear.

 

Hi @Smithy27 Thank you did the success story. How are you now? At what point did your tinnitus begin to fade? Today is 3 weeks after LOUD firecrackers damaged my hearing. Did you also have a loud hissing sound that you heard all day and night? Thanks!

 

@Smithy27,

Just wondering how you’re doing? My tinnitus has been up and down all over the place and it’s driving me crazy. I will have several days where it will be really loud and then periods of quiet. Last couple of days has been loud and exceptionally high-pitched. I don’t really see a lot of rhyme or reason to the fluctuations.

Have you found anything that’s helped?

Thanks.

 

Mine does this too.

 

I've got the same thing but from gunshots in my right ear. I find that the sound level associates with my sleep habits, my stress, what I eat, if I drink caffeine, etc. Over time things do get better, and I've been going through this for about 4 months. I do hope it does get better for you, and it sounds like it is so that can only be a good sign.
