Hey Guys,
I noticed over the past few months that I developed tinnitus. I used to listen to loud music at the gym. Anyway it was quite minor and only noticeable in very silent situations when I concentrated on it.
Doctor recommended a hearing test. Conclusion was that I had damaged my ears and could not hear high pitched frequencies anymore [can't remember the kHz]. They also gave me these hearing aids / maskers, that play a pitch that cancels out the tinnitus. They also said that I had a little wax in my right ear.
Anyway I wore the aids in my right ear for about 3-4 hours a week. Its been 3 weeks since the test and my tinnitus has gradually gotten worse - to the point where I cant sleep. My right ear ringing is extremely loud.
I've used olive oil drops in my right ear about 7 drops since the test as well.
My condition was not this bad prior to the test, its 99% worse. Its been a week since I last used the hearing aids.
Is it possible for sounds played at the test / hearing aids to flare up tinnitus and can flares last 2-3 weeks?
:'(
