I completely habituated, and now I'm devastated again, this sucks.

Go-Karting with a gas engine?? I dont think there is "no over this" . If you have or had ringing u have hearing damage. I personally think any noise that will hurt you is always going to be man made. There is no noise in nature that I think can hurt you. But a gas engine on a go kart.... you need to wear ear plugs. They are cheap and then can can just throw them away when done. I go no where without having ear plugs on me.

 

I dont think thats strange because I have high pitched static, pulsative and a straight tone.

 

Hey willie sorry to hear your back to square one man .....I know it's tough man every day is a battle but you'll get through this....I know it's hard not to beat yourself up I do it all the time but you really just have to give your T sometime and it will settle down once again man ....stay strong

 

I don't think that hearing loss and t are necessarily tied together. You can have t and no hearing loss

 

If the T is from loud noise exposure, your hearing is damaged. Normal hearing does not have T.

 

Yeah in my case it does mask it completely but I suppose its because mine is quite mild. I find waterfall sounds particularly helpful.

 

Karting can put a great strain to one's neck. Maybe something happened there which increased the T? Try some neck stretching & massages? Hang in there!
