Sharp Stabbing Feeling, Like High Pitched Ringing

I've had tinnitus for just over 2 months now in my ear. I have multiple sounds including constant buzzing but there's this horrible whistling sound wavering up and down in volume with a sharp very high pitched beeping that's like I'm being repeatedly stabbed in the ear.

Does anyone else have this type of sound? I feel severely depressed because it's so distracting and I can hear it everywhere apart from when I'm in the shower.

 

This sounds very similar to what many of us have here. You have to remember that the first months/years are by far the worst. In most cases, it does get better. I feel for you buddy as I remember exactly how I felt when I was in your position. I was scared, depressed, and felt utterly lost. However, fast forward five years and I don’t feel at all like how I did back then. Time is a great healer.

 

@Henry30 This is exactly how mine is right now. I’m 2 weeks in after an acoustic trauma. It is so high pitched and shrill that it’s like I’m being stabbed in the ear. Almost painful. I can also hear it everywhere except the shower.

 

@Henry30 I’m four months in and have something very similar. Only masked by the shower. I can say that I’ve been having some better days where even though it’s there, it’s milder than it was in the beginning. But I still have moments and days that are still hell level.

Hopefully it all gets better in time.

 

I am in the same boat. It almost sounds like the resonance of a wine glass at an extremely high pitch and intensity. It makes me want to drop to my knees honestly. What a nightmare!
