Boy, you aren't kidding!

There is some additional good news here. “For many tinnitus patients, the passage of time can make a huge difference. It may take several months, or even a few years, but at some point, the condition often largely resolves itself – and its impact is greatly diminished.”
I’m basically in this group and my tinnitus is resolving itself except at about sunset most days and for about an hour.
Between shooting skeet/trap and being a repel invader guy on our ship, quail and duck/geese hunting and a 30/06 during big game season, I also, sighted in a couple of pistols about 2/3 times per year.
I haven’t done any of that, since I was 70, now I’m 84. My tinnitus is resolving itself.
My bride of 62 years is becoming very hard of hearing while my hearing has improved and my tinnitus became less of a problem.
We have appts. next month for our eye/vision tests.
After those are over I will work on getting hearing tests for both of us.
I did and it drove me crazy. Eventually went away.
Boy, you aren't kidding!
70 here. It’ s almost just a background sound to me now. Like the “ peeps” on a spring evening.
The only problem with it is the imbecile chinese engineer who decided it was a good idea to put an alarm to wake me up at 3am to tell me I forgot to charge it up.
Ear worms? The globalists consider them part of the allotted protein in your new diet.
Why do we need a doctor when we have enough ads on thelibertydaily front page to cure anything? :D
I take a halides and drink a beer or wine and hit the pillow. It's gone at some point in that process. It's like chiggers in your ears!
(Halidol)
Yeah? After 30+ years of this sh!t that ain't happened,
On the plus side I'm 71, so it is gonna end........just not the way I'd prefer.
“I’ve heard it can be like Howitzer suddenly going off in your head.”
You heard right.
I used to hear loud explosions that woke me up. I knew I wasn’t hearing them over the tinnitus ringing in my ears but they were definitely loud and would wake me up.
Wondering what in the wide, wide world of sports was going on I trotted myself to the doctor’s office. He explained about EHS and just added it to my list of less than lethal ailments.
Hey Alice I found out why nobody talks when I pick up the phone it’s just ringing in the ears.
I used hydrocortisone and lidocaine or pramoxine to numb the outer ear canal. Went on for at least a couple years. Finally all the troublesome area scaled off and it was done. Now normal tissue there and doesn’t itch (or not more than anyone else).
“I’m resigned to the fact that I’ll be inflicted with ringing in my ears for the rest of my life. There is no cure.”
Same here, mine started late in life, early 70’s. I had been to a couple of hearing ‘clinics’ and was told there were a range of frequencies causing the problem inside my brain and there was nothing they could do. I went to my ENT, and he told me the same thing, believe it or not he said he also has Tinnitus. After I heard that I just came to terms with the problem and live with it.
Just been thru pacemaker and don’t want to start piling on.
Drives me nutz though feeling like crawly things in an ear canal. Thanks for your suggestion. I have been using prednisone which works great but isn’t good for my overall health. I’ll try your suggestions.
I don’t think there is any broader base of practical knowledge than our friends here at FR. Know you are appreciated.
No.
