How many anons here have tinnitus? What does it sound like? How did you get it?I shot a .30-30 outside once without hearing protection a month ago, and my left ear was was muffled for like a week. It came back, but now I have this fucking TV static tinnitus. I'm pretty sure my hearing is fucked now, but the ringing is more annoying. I started taking steroids like 4 days after the noise exposure. It probably doesn't help that I put ear protection in and continued to shoot after.
>>83850804>fucking TV static tinnitusPeople from the future are trying to send you a message through sound-space waves that travel through time.
>>83851099Do NOT make him schizophrenic
>>83851203The static won't make me schizophrenic, but sometimes the ringing sounds like crickets and I feel schizophrenic. As if my room was covered in them.
>>83850804yeah i have tinnitus but i only notice it when i try to sleepit's mostly in my right ear and i'm almost certain the cause was when some cunt smashed a hammer against a hollow metal tube next to my earit's incurable and will stay with you unless you lose hearing but even probably then it will persistthere is very little ongoing research into it too because normals are so braindead they can easily ignore it and all the money is busy curing obesity since "just eat less" is apparently a medication out of reach for most people
>>83851538I'm still adjusting to mine and hoping it goes away or subsides. It's always there just due to how high frequency it is. I can hear it with open back headphones. A fan helps somewhat to sleep. I keep thinking there's something else I can do, but the ENT doctor told me the solution is just time now. I hope yours doesn't get worse.
>>83850804I have very sensitive hearing and can hear electricity
>>83850804>What does it sound like? How did you get it?Constant high pitched ringing. And I'm guessing I got it because I had bad ear infections as a kid and had to get ear tubes put in. So I've pretty much never known silence. I always have to have some kind of background noise going on.
>>83851992wearing headphones all day for sure makes mine worse that evening and i have volume always really low, as i always have hadif i spend all day out or busy doing irl stuff there is a market difference, or maybe i am just less tuned ini always feel like one ear is partially blocked it really sucksyou can try and flush your ears out a little since earwax worsens tinnitusget some sterile soapmaking oil and drip it in your ear (don't use cooking oil)tinnitus is a fucking curse and it's insane to me that it isn't spoken about more but normals are just oblivious to their senses>>83852531i can also hear electricityi can tell when my phone has charged, for example, because the whine changes
>>83852814I can hear people wake up O_O
>>83850804Are you trans? You could come shooting with me
>>83850804i fucked up and ran a rototiller continuously for hours without hearing protection and discovered that i was partially deaf for some time after. i think my tinnitus got worse after this but it may have always been present. i was part of a marching band before that and was chronically exposed to explosive levels of noise on a daily basis. one time a cymbal crashed right next to my head and it was like a grenade going off.
>>83850804I produce a ton of sticky earwax for some reason so for as long as I can remember I'd have long periods of ringing from the buildup. I get my ears cleaned every few months now and that relieves it but my ears feel sensitive and air-y, then the ringing comes back after a couple weeks. My first childhood memory of it was being left in a car and hearing that ringing get louder and louder. But I think having it young rewired my brain to associate it with quiet.
>What does it sound likeLike tinnitus, it sounds the same for everyone.
