Tinnitus

Recommended Posts

If you guys find a fix for tinnitus let me know! I’m a Navy EOD Tech whose been around too many IED blasts to count! Lots of deep diving, helicopters, gun fire, and demo shots doesn’t help! Had a hell of a great time in the community but my tinnitus is terrible. I will say, I think I’ve made peace with it, though tho thread did make me realize mine is worse than I admit to.

First off - thank you for your service. At 72, I've just learned to live with it. Most times it doesn't bother me - probably because I've gotten use to it.

Hello. Unfortunately, I also started to have tinnitus. Do you think there is a link between tinnitus and smoking? I smoke a lot. Do you think this has negative effects?

My tinnitus while wearing hearing aids is very low key to the point where I forget I have it.I would think your hearing protection would serve the same benefit.

I wish there was a cure for tinnitus.  Quite often it gets so loud in my head that I cannot sleep. 

Even if it meant no new clubs for 10 years I'd spend the money right now to get rid of the ringing in my head for good.  😲

No cure, just a royal PITA …….the sound I get is like a field of crickets constantly making noise.  I play music to balance it out.

My hearing aids have a tinnitus setting to help mask it.  Doesn't make it go away, but gives me something else to occupy my mind.  Before I got the hearing aids, since I was already hard of hearing, there would be times when all I could hear was the train whistle in my right ear and the crickets in my left. In case you are wondering, having two different sounds for the tinnitus is something that will drive you bat$#!/ crazy.

I agree with the Royal PITA.   I contracted my Tinnitus after getting the Moderna Vax.  Seems that .05% chance.. I was a winner!    Had to Vax for work--  wish I had not.

I've had ringing in my ears for few years now. I've been diagnosed with mild-moderate hearing loss, depending on which ear. Don't know if from a few concerts I've been to. Not many and usually have ear plugs. Front row at Sabaton/HammerFall was great. I also developed spinal fluid leaks and brain sag in 2020, which many people with similar then experience tinnitus. Occasionally, my left ear with also give me a vibration sound. Usually goes away in a day. Most days I do not notice much. I listen to low-volume music at work and my wife picked up a white noise machine so that helps. Not unbearable at this time.
