Will this Tinnitus ever go away?!
Question: Will this Tinnitus ever go away?
About a month ago noticed a slight ringing in my right ear when my ears are covered and sometimes when they're not.
Went to the ENT to have it checked. 3 tests: Hearing, Ear Hair Health (the tiny hairs that would be damaged from loud noise), and Pressure/Fluid Check.
Tests show no hearing loss (hearing is good), Hairs are fine (no damage), And no pressure/fluids.
Buddy said he used to shoot and knows people who hunt without ear plugs, and they don't have ringing.
I do have a slight case of TMJ, my jaw pops sometimes when chewing and when I open it wide, but I've always had this with no tinnitus.
So I guess the gunshot did it???? The ENT said it is possible.
Since my ear is fine, will the Tinnitus eventually dim, or subside, and go away? If not what can I do to make that happen?
Also, Do you think it could have been from the gunshot?
I just get really worried about it because it was never there before, and when I hear it, it kinda makes me depressed and wish I never shot that gun and have taken better care of my ears before.
Any way to make the ringing go away?
Answers:
nost likely from the gunshot and can be permanent, can go away or you just live with it, Should always wear ear protection with loud noises, music, machines, etc. not worth it to lose hearing, but tinnitus is annoying. aspirin supposedly can worsen it as others meds or sounds can. No cure, no matter who sells you anything. Don't fall for magic cures, otherwise, I'd be using it. I have it, hate, but am glad it's not worse, although it has been from IV meds. Usually, distraction will "make it go away", white noise, soft music, there are other things to be depressed about, but not this. Ok?
