Tinnitus from Singapore

Hi I'm Kevin, and I'm from Singapore. I have had tinnitus since 10/2014 and I was 14 years old back around that time, now I am 16 years old. Back when I was 14 the tinnitus wasn't very bad, it sometimes stopped and sometimes started at random times, and it used to happen to my left ear frequently. But now that I'm 16 the tinnitus stopped in my left ear and has suddenly shifted to my right ear. Now I hear a slight quiet ringing sound from my right ear every day but sometimes my brain decides to ignore it to the extent that I can do things with comfort. Any suggestions on what the cause of my tinnitus could be and how I could treat it/ignore it?

Anyone here has it recovered fully, or got it from young age?

 

Welcome Kevin. There are many causes of tinnitus. It may not be easy to determine the exact cause unless you had something drastically happen right before your tinnitus. If nothing like that, if you had listened to loud music with earphones for long, it may cause tinnitus.

I am not a young guy (I wish lol), but there are many young members who have gotten better and have written their success stories. Here are some samples. So don't worry. You seem to be doing well already. Keep being calm and positive. You should be able to habituate to it or it may fade as you are young. Take care & God bless.

Hi, I'm from Singapore, hoping to chat with fellow friends suffering from tinnitus... Had it for so long, recently it's been getting worse.

Really affecting my life
