Well its kind of a long story, I have has some T since I was little don't know if it was from constant ear infections or what but it was always manageable a fan or any background noise would mask it and for that it never really bothered me.
Well now I am 38 and just since the end of April the T has got much worse and anything that I used to do to mask it just makes it worse. I have been to 3 different ENT's and they all asked if I was exposed to any loud noise recently. The only thing I could think of was I bought a motorcycle in April to ride with my father which I very much enjoyed, the bike itself is quite and I was always wearing a full helmet, but I have been told since that the wind noise even with a helmet can be dangerous levels and that I should wear ear plugs too ( I wish I new that before). I rode it twice for about a 50 min ride on the highway and back once on April 9th and then again on April 23rd (which was the last time I rode the stupid thing), I had no issues or increased T until that Saturday which was the 26th then it started to get worse around lunch time that day, I don't get it I wasn't doing anything that day it just flared up and I have miserable ever since.
I keep wondering if the motorcycle ride had anything to do with it since the problem started three days after I rode it... the ENT's all said they don't think so but I still am not convinced, it makes me want to pull the thing out and burn it,that would at least make me feel better. Well anyway they did a hearing test and found a small dip in the right ear at 8K but all within normal hearing, which is also weird because when they hit the 8K in my right ear it sounded distorted to me as compared to my left ear. Then they did a CT scan and found nothing but a deviated septum (now I know where my headaches are coming from) now they want to do a MRI.
I just don't know what to do, all the stuff I like to do I don't want to do anymore because it makes the T worse. For the last 5+ years I would be out on the jet-ski on the lakes around here for hours having a great time, but not now I tried it once since then and the T got worse, that's the other thing I have been told recently that the jet-ski is too loud to ride without earplugs however I never had even a slight problem with it until now, I would ride it all day with no increased T or any other symptoms. I tried going to the movies like I always used to but I couldn't wait for it to be over as it made the T worse. I used to love music now I cant stand it as again it makes the T worse. I am at a loss, I wish it would all just end, I don't know how much more of this I can take...
