Tinnitus Since
April 2018
Cause of Tinnitus
Loud Noise
I've had Tinnitus in my right ear since the beginning of April, 2018 after being exposed to a loud gunshot.

I had pain and there was inflammation. Went to ENT and was given Prednisone.

The good news is that I didn't do any permanent damage.
After the accident, every sound was unbearable.

Being in a group with others talking was horrible. I couldn't compete with the noise. I had to leave a restaurant because the sounds were bouncing off my head. This has gotten a little better and I can sit through a meal. I make sure my ear is facing a wall and that really helps.

The Tinnitus has gotten better but I can still hear the humming in my head when it is quiet.

I am taking B Complex, B-12, C. Herbs, Turmeric (mix with a fat like yogurt and a pinch of black pepper), Ginger, Garlic, etc.
I am also using the homeopathic remedy Cinchona.

In the first few weeks, I used warm compresses on the outside of my ear and it really helped.

Staying quiet and out of loud spaces helps as well.

I will keep the group posted on my progress.

I'm glad you got seen quickly by a good ENT. Chances are you will make a full recovery. It may take a bit of time though so be patient and avoid loud noise and wearing headphones
