Tinnitus from Loud Music Is So Much Better After 6 Months

Hey everyone! I am a 26-year-old man. I got tinnitus 6 months ago.

It is now so much better. What really helped was time. It was terrible at first. It started getting better after 3 months. It was noise induced. I was in a loud music place and on the next day I had a high pitched ringing in my right ear.

I did stop drinking alcohol and didn't go to loud places ever since it happened. I started to drink apple cider vinegar.

Now I still have ringing here and there but it does not bother me at all and it’s nowhere near as loud as it used to be. I feel as comfortable with myself as before. All I can say is that it’s going to get better for you over time.

Tinnitus song helped me to cancel out the ringing which was helpful in the beginning.

I hope this was helpful and good luck!

 

Way to go, buddy! Just curious, what's your history with noise exposure?

 

Thanks for posting! I am 28 years old and am on day 20 and going through a similar noise-induced event. It’s great to hear it started to get better for you at 3 months! I hope you feel great now and it continues to be manageable.

Can I ask, how loud was it originally, and did you ever have any sound distortion in your hearing?

 

Hello guys so I had a history of Playing brass instruments such as trombone and I was always surrounded by other players. And that night well it was loud and probably I was close to the speaker and I also was drunk and took 4 ibuprofen before I went to sleep. So I think the combination of all of these caused this ringing in the ear.

 

31-year-old man with noise-induced tinnitus here. I got it 4 months ago, haven't notice any improvement, yet.

However, I started having less trouble falling sleep after around 3 months. I tried to sleep using white noise at first, but prolonged white noise appears to give me pretty bad spikes.

As a result, I had to get used to sleeping without anything to mask my tinnitus—which sucked. Over time, I managed to clear my head to such an extent that I'm able to just sort of 'shut down' and fall asleep. Additionally, I take 500mg of magnesium an hour before bed.

Mornings are still really bad for me, though. Apple cider vinegar didn't do anything for me, but I've grown to like the taste .

 

Ive had T ad H for 8 years now, due to acoustic trauma, Ive had times where it was very low in volume and at times it spikes and the pain is very bad.
Please be careful, wear earplugs when around loud music, the worst mistake one can make is to forget about the T when it comes down and then you can not be on guard and find yourself in a situation where you get exposed to loud audio.
All the best!

 

It's nice to read this. I'm dealing with noise-induced tinnitus too and it is brutal! Happy for you.

 

You can try going on a Magnesium supplement; in the past, I had some positive results using it.
