I made tinnitus my friend, then it disappeared [video]

People say hearing loss is permanent, that may be true and I thought tinnitus was that, but its a separate correlated thing that doesnt have to be permanent

Ever since I got better earplugs and kept them on my keyring for more routine use, the symptoms have dissipated over time

Not going to name a brand since aficionados all have opinions about their deficiencies in favor of another brand thats equally open to debate

But I’m glad my tinnitus symptoms haven't seemed to be permanent

I haven't had ringing after music festivals in years now, and I can hear people again in loud environments

I've had tinnitus for years. At best it's usually isolated to my left ear and sounds like crickets. At worst it sounds like a choir of crickets in a large cathedral.

Funnily enough I only just remembered it because of this post and yes the crickets are still there. Thanks for that OP.

How Golden Is Silence, Actually?

This is a funny but sad coincidence! I'll chime in the same as others, I've had tinnitus for 20+ years and I know it is all due to one event. Somedays if I am tired or stressed it gets worse, and then some days I have so much going on I don't think about it (much). But sometimes when I have a calm moment or if I am on vacation trying to relax, I really have no idea what silence sounds like anymore.
