Punch/Kick to Ear and Tinnitus

@PatrickG
I know how you feel, as I can remember the time, day and date when I first experienced tinnitus 20 years ago and it wasn’t a pleasant experience. I am sorry to hear it is still giving you a lot of problems. Have you tried tinnitus counselling with a hearing therapist because it can help a lot.

I wrote a post recently about a product that I’ve been using for some time and find that it helps. Er Long Zuo Ci Wan, is a Chinese herb that is used to treat tinnitus. There is plenty of information on the Internet and the reviews are good. My tinnitus is variable from silent, mild, moderate and severe. I find that I don't have to depend on taking clonazapam so much when taking this product. You might find my post helpful, the link is below and I encourage you to try this herb.

All the best
Michael

For me it's also nearly a year.. and I think I am doing even worse than in the beginning. So far the last months I could only survive because I kept telling myself.. it's going to go away. But I guess it's time to face the truth.. and it's more likely that it's going to stay. I really hope it gets better for you! You probably tried already all sorts of things, I guess? I was told by a doctor that it can take up to 3 years for T to disappear.. after that it's very rare, but still happens. So maybe hope is not completely lost, yet. But it's hard to believe in that. Anyways, hang in there and wishing you strength!

 

I appreciate your answers a lot guys, thank you! I also hope things will improve for you and that we all can live in peace on day. We can not give up hope and must continue to support each other. That's why we are here

 

Patrick how have you been?
did it got better or still habituating?

 

Hi there @Mario martz ! Weird I didn't see your message. I'm not habituating at all because T is changing every freakin second. It's driving me mad. I strongly suspect I have cochlear hydrops

 

@Mr. Cartman are you still active? I probably have cochlear hydrops and its driving me crazy. I would need some of your advice because the word says you're the expert in the field.

 

Hello i truly hope you are doing well. Times are tuff. Im 17 years old im a kickboxer for about 2 years now. Recently starting sparring with headgear and mouth guard. Recently took a kick to the head immediately after got a wooshing ringing in my ears following with nausea. The next day my ears were plug and neck pain/soreness. Its been 2 weeks and still have ringing in both ears, right one is louder and different noise. Im really afraid i have to deal with this forever at such a young age. I never knew this would ever happen. I have scheduled doctors appointment but thinking that im gonna get answers i do not like or no answers. We are in this together in a way. As martial artists

 

You are young and your body is more resilient than that of most people. There is a reasonable chance that eventually your T will fade:

Meanwhile, it can take 6-12-24 months before that happens. Ears take forever to heal, and the change is very slow and gradual. Try not to panic and to ride it out...

 

I really hope you are right its already tough

 

It’s been over two years now and my T is just as bad as in the beginning. I haven’t habituated at all because it’s always changing. It’s torture and I’m on my knees but I’m not on my back on the ground. My life, just like most here, is a 24/7 struggle. The most positive is that I found the best girlfriend I have ever dreamed of. She understand my struggle and accepts it. Didn’t know how important that would be.

 

@PatrickG any improvement, man?

Asking, as I've taken a football to the ear and I'm dealing with a crazy spike and partial hearing loss as a result.

Hoping this rights itself over time and goes back to baseline!

 

Hi @Elfin !

I'm sorry that happened to you.

No just as bad and awful as always.

 

@PatrickG helpful...but not the news I wanted!!

Were you hit square on on the ear?

I was hit just slightly behind, so not square, but still enough to hear a cracking sound and have a significant mark now

 

Yes exactly, directly/square on the ear.
