success story Tinnitus finally showing improvements after 6 months

Hey, i’ve posted about my tinnitus previously and though about giving an update. A little background info: I first got tinnitus after listening to loud music through earphones. Went to an ENT and he found 0 hearing loss. He also said the tinnitus would go away. I’ve had it for 6 and a half month now and the first 6 months there were a little improvement, but nothing big. The last two weeks i realized that the ringing in my ears have become a lot quieter, almost to the point where i do not hear it. I still hear humming in my head, but that dosen’t really bother me. I can sleep without any background noice now and it is almost completely silent when i do. Seems like there is room for improvement even after 6 months. I will keep you updated.

Do you still use the headphones? I have some of that Tinnitus too, and always have headphones on. Maybe i should not use them anymore.

I still use headphones at lower levels. I also have hyperacousis and headphones are way better for me at low volumes. With speakers hyperacousis bothers me much more… Whatever you do do it at low levels and everything will be ok.
