Hello Everyone

I've been hearing (not so) loud ringing noises in my right ear for nearly a week now. ENT doctor says it's not confirmed to be 'T' yet. So I'm an 18 y/o student, and one night this 'sound of life' decided to be a part of me. I'm new to all this, so I would like to ask questions. My first would be, what's the best way to deal with the noise at night? Also, I know 'T' refers to tinnitus itself, but what does 'H' mean? Been seeing that word being used around.

 

The chances your T go away are better if:
-You didn't get it from hearing damage
-You are young
-The T is intermittent/unstable rather than constant
-You haven't had it for more than 6 months

OP you have at least 3 out of the 4 good signs. I would bet on a full recovery!

As for dealing with the noise at night, I would advise against masking. Keep your room still and silent if you can to let your ears and brain reset. Use melatonin to get to sleep

 

Thank you!

 

Thank you! I hope it does get better. I haven't needed to use any masking so far.

 

Great. I would advise against the use of fans as well at night.

Six months from now, could you return to this topic and give an update on your condition?

 

Six months? I guess I'll have to mark it on my calendar xD but OK, hopefully I'll remember and it'll get much better by then
Actually, a few hours ago, the noise suddenly came in really high pitched for a few seconds, and then it died down and got soft... Idk if I should worry about that. Happened twice already

 

Fleeting tinnitus , it happens quite often to everyone with or without chronic T it's normal don't worry about it , happens to me daily actually

 

@uae96 I want to dig my ear to remove some earwax, is it recommended? I haven't removed earwax in months, I can feel it filling up in my ear

 

You can only make T less worse by removing earwax but dont go deep in it.
I have the radio Always on at night and turn it off and listen to T and fall asleep lol.
The high pitch for seconds is normal that have everyone.
If you only hear it at night good for you because a lot of people here hear it all the time. Better avoid loud sounds because if you make it worse you cant go back. Dont play with fire.

 

OK I'll take care of it, hopefully it gets better, thanks
