Potential relief for tinnitus?
Just came across this article. While I don't suffer from this myself, I have read posts from others who do. Hopefully some good will come out of this discovery.
My ears ring like crazy. Lately, it's been 24/7. Too much stress and lack of sleep. I don't drink (I've already had my fair share) and I went cold turkey on caffeine. Had gawd awful caffeine withdrawals/headaches and it didn't help one bit. I'm back on caffeine. My hearing is decent. I had it tested recently. The audiologist had no fix for tinnitus. |
I used to read the comments here about those who suffer from Tinnitus and always think how horrible that must be. About 6 months ago out of nowhere my left ear just developed a ring. Hasn't let up since...I've tried many things to no avail, but fortunately have learned how to cope. I admit I do take in a lot of caffeine and have wondered if that is the culprit. But truth be told I've always listened to my music loud, seen Iron Maiden 5 times without ear plugs (the last time at MSG my ears rang so loudly for 5 days-I didn't think I'd recover), so I get what I deserve I guess...Some days/periods are better, I don't know if it's because I don't think about it, but for the most part I have just resigned myself to this is how it's going to be... |
@dynacohum LOL |
@guscreek A fellow Heinlein fan! I reread "Stranger" about every 10 years! |
I don't want to sound preachy but I'm addressing anyone who reads this who is under 30 and listens to loud music. The next morning ear ringing after the night before always "heals." You think it's no big deal. As you age that recovery slows, and one day, it will not stop. Your ears will ring for the rest of your life. Protect yourself. |
