- Cause of Tinnitus
- Loud gig/year of loud headphone usage.
Hello,my name is Ilija.
16th of August was a really bad day for me as that is the day I decided to go to only the 2nd gig in my life.
The 1st gig was quite loud,but I didn't experience any ringing only stuffiness in ears which resolved rather quickly.
The 2nd time there was this singer who screamed so hard for a second my ears hurt.
The gig was in a basement it was perhaps small,the best I can do is say it could hold 40-50 people.
After that I went a day without anything I waited for 8 hours on a cold night in a bus stop with a friend waiting for the return bus.
Only when I got home did I notice swooshing sound.
My tinnitus so far has gone like this Swoosh-Ring-Vice ring (like the kind the TV makes)-Hiss from time to time.
It decreases and increases as I think about it for now I can barely hear it.
In school the class is fairly loud not 85db maybe but loud enough that every time I'm in class I go from hiss to vice ring.
Before the gigs I used headphones almost 13-14 hours a day.
I think that the reason its taking it's sweet time to heal is the headphones.
If it helps they are quality ones. Noise cancellation,proper bass and all that.
I went to 2 ENT's so far.
They tested my hearing which was normal,and did a test where they checked my ear pressure I believe.
They both said that it will most likely heal on it's own in time.
While I would love to believe them I can't help but panic from time to time due to my internet search where I have only come across people with permanent tinnitus.
I read somewhere that it's possible that I might have hidden hearing loss,I don't know if that means I will have this permanently or not.
My hearing is quite good,I can hear up to 18 000 Hz.
The weird thing is ever since the Tinnitus I can hear things I couldn't used to,my PC cooler making a ring,my Tv making some static high pitched sound,my power supply making a hiss whenever it's on.
I don't know if I have normal hearing or if the tinnitus has ramped up the volume to the point where I can hear better than I used to.
That's pretty much it,I hope you will reply,if it means anything even during the quiet while I was writing this the Tinnitus has been the lowest it's ever been.
I can actually only barely hear it on my right side.
Also I have a pressure in my head since this started,also had some massive muscle aches whenever I would masturbate (it has stopped since then).
I also found out from going to a heart doctor that I have a neck gland problem I don't know what it's called but from what I understand it's in charge of everything in teens from hormones to blood pressure to testosterone.
I also don't know if It's in my head or not but even when I can't hear the tinnitus I can feel it in my head I don't know if It's my brain being paranoid and scared or if It's an actual symptom.
Please reply if you can.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Forgot to say when I was a baby I had eardrum trouble in my right ear I believe which might explain why my Tinnitus seems to be more dominant on the right side.
