i believe my tinnitus is catastrophic %100 im only 30 - 0 sound exposure only iv prednisone done that

(2/2) Right now, I continue not because of me, but for my wife and my family. I don't know what can I do to get a little better. I truly want to live of course, but right now it's hard to see the point in any of this. I just go through days and weeks the best that I can, but it's hard when you are being tortured all day 24/7. If I surrender someday, at least I know that I tried as hard as I could.

(1/2) Yesterday I should have had a good day. Easy work in the morning, and later I went with my wife to get a coffee and some doughnuts. Then we cooked some dinner and watched a episode of one of my favorite series, The flight of the Conchords. Anyway, I was feeling terrible and so depressed, because of loud T and hearing loss. I hardly enjoyed any of that. I was being tortured. If I can't enjoy some of this things, then I don't see the point in continuing living.

I've been researching about AI and it gives me hope about the next couple years AGI will be life changing for millions.

It's getting louder (80-90 dB), there are more and more sounds, hearing loss, painful hypersensitivity, distortion, pressure on one side of the head, red ears. No one understands, everyone wants something from me and doesn't see the problem. Society doesn't realize how damaging ear damage can be to lives. Zero help! This has to change...

Burning ears, sensations in face and skull, headaches 24/7 now.

Hey! I wonder what you hearing loss is? Mild / Moderate / Severe / Profound? You seem similar in age to me as well I'm 27. It sucks we have to live like this.

almost 6 years of this

I actually want to die I miss life when my hearing was normal.

how old are you mate

what caused your sshl

Im not gonna make it i puke from stress every morning

As much as I have the reins on tinnitus now- I don't on the world around me. To be around anything louder than 70db hurts... Yet every event I go to the speakers are turned up to 100db and I see no one else wearing earplugs... Why the fuck is everything so loud, and I'm the only one reacting when it is?

My tinnitus came back this morning but those 10 minutes of complete silence were wonderful

Really hate that alot of my coworkers got their "hands full" and put calls on speaker phone on max volume next to where i sit and talk. I always cringe for 30-60 seconds then i have to put my earplugs in but still they keep doing it everytime and saying "im so sensitive". It litterally hurt my ears hearing the other person talking on the phone with the crackling in the background.

Hey Sonia. Have you a link for the community Facebook page, please ? I would like to read it.

How are things right now ? Your battling skills are very important for me and my recovery. I really do hope you feel in a better place.

I had to log back in here because for the first time ever I barely hear my tinnitus. I just got over a fever a few days ago, and during the fever it got really loud. Now 4 days later it's like 0.01 ss just in the right ear. Left ear is totally silent, can't hear anything. DUNNO IF THIS IS GOING TO LAST, just wanted to write this down somewhere!

Have you tried Potassium for pulsatile tinnitus? I have pulsating tinnitus it helps for me with my pulsating tinnitus.

Did a 2-day photographing gig in a theater. Music was very loud. first day I only had earplugs on. But 2nd day, I had double protection! Earmuffs (Peltor 30db SNR) + earplugs! Not the ideal way to work, but it was the only way.

F*** off i dont want it

I plan to keep posting even when/if I'm completely recovered. I want to counter the voices that jump onto a 16 yr old's post to tell them it's probably permanent after a week, or not to worry because surely there will be a cure in their lifetime, or that they've had high pitched screeching for 1000 years and it's never gotten better. None of that is compassionate and is untrue for most people and I cringe every time I see someone do it. Hope is important, especially for those of us still in the early stages. There's so much misinformation and dooms daying. I saw an analysis that said TinnitusTalk has more positive posts than negative, so that tells you how many people actually are out there improving. They aren't all languishing.

I did have my ears irrigated. As far as I could tell, it had no impact on my tinnitus. It did, however, open up my hearing. My right ear was pretty blocked, so sounds were amplified for about a week before my system adjusted. I was hearing sounds I hadn't realized I wasn't hearing before. I'm walking around wondering what that noise is and it's my arm brushing against my clothes. I don't regret doing it at all. I bought an ear camera so now I can look at my own ears and see if they're blocked.

I'm so glad to have connected with you and several others. Passing along some optimism to you has helped me, too. I used to barrage ChatGPT with questions and by the end, I was in full blown panic. It didn't help me at all. I feel much less alone having others to share experiences, progress and hope with and I hope I help others feel less alone.

I have some issues with my left temporal bone that could be causing my severe left ear tinnitus. I may have to see a temporal bone specialist at John Hopkins in Baltimore.

My anxiety has been at a 10/10 catastrophic level for several days. Everything keeps getting worse. I'm genuinely paralyzed with fear and can't calm down. I'm afraid it's going to lead me to harm myself

Here's another extraordinary recovery story I wanted to share with you. Hang in there. This is the fight of our lives, but it can get much better. If people with trauma this severe can get better, so can we. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/thread...r-induced-tinnitus-has-got-much-better.52479/

My cat have died

Hi I saw an older post you have about itching in your ear. I was at a concert about 6 weeks ago and the day after I would start experiencing this "dull ache" sensation if I listened to music too loud.

Over the past few weeks I notice an itching sensation in place of what use to be the dull aches. Do you still have itching or did that eventually go away ?

I was at an ENT and the hearing came back pretty normal and he thought it might have been TMJ which I know its not the case.

Thank you,

Believe me, I know how you feel. Mine isn't nearly as loud as it was in the beginning, but it still causes me a lot of anxiety. I alternate between "I'll be fine" and "My life is ruined" every other minute. The hardest part is not knowing what the future holds. I'd be fine if I knew for a fact it would resolve and a general timeline. I try to see each night as a new chance for healing and remember that most people do recover, regardless of age or cause, even if it takes awhile. I have recovery stories taped to my doors and walls. Each day is long, but hopefully one day soon this will just be a bad memory. Keep in mind it's still early days. Many, many people don't see the first signs of recovery until after Month 6. There's still time.
