HarleyFatboy Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Yes, I have had tinnitus for about 30 years. I used to do a lot of shooting, and I mean a lot of shooting, between 3,000 to 5,000 rounds a week. Even though I used hearing protection, it didn't end up helping when it was all said and done. Some days it's so bad that I have a hard time getting to sleep. It's constant ringing or buzzing in my ears 24/7 365. I haven't found anything that seem to help and if you do find something please feel free to share with me. I'm really sad to hear where tinnitus has claimed another victim. I wish you the best of luck!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy3 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 It's so bad that it is actually making me feel nauseous. It's the same frequency all the time and it's freaking loud as fuck. The only think I can do to change it is to clentch my jaw and all that does is change the frequency and makes it even worse. Sleeping is very difficult. I'm in a living hell and apparently there is no end to it. Just what I needed. FUCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFatboy Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 yeah 3Amys, I really feel sorry for you and trust me, I know what you are going through. Three ringing/buzzing is sometimes so weak, it's almost as if you don't have it but then all of a sudden is alarmingly loud. Mine has never made me nauseous and thank god for that!! However, you will learn to live with it just like all of us have. There will be times that you don't think you even have it anymore because you are preoccupied by something else and then.....boom, it hits you like a ton of bricks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StnCld316 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I have suffered with it for over 50 Years and it's the most annoying thing I have have ever had in life. Now I am just waiting for my time to die then I don't have to listen to it any longer. In Canada we have a Doctor Assisted Death Law but Tinnitus is not included in it's list of causes or seeking to die. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is truly awful. My right ear is starting to hurt. I wonder if maybe I have an ear infection or something. I'm in a state of agony. Last week or so I noticed it when I was watching TV with my wife. I was like, can you hear that? She was like, no. I had her turn off the TV thinking that it was buzzing. Nope! It was me. Then it kind of came and went. Last Friday, I woke up in the middle of the night with it screeching in my head. I couldn't sleep it was so bad. It stayed constant until Sunday morning and then it went away for most of the day. Then Monday night, it came back and it's been constant since. This is absolute tortuous hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG 150 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I would seek a highly qualified ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) specialist. They are all interconnected by a series of capillary type channels. I get a bout of it about once a month because of loud, very high pitched turbo chargers tearing my ears up for 40+ years along with loud rock music, weapons fire, jet engine noise and God knows what else. A good douching of all 3 of those interconnected channels did help a lot. I don't hear it in my sleep anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG! I feel you. I don't want to be stuck like this until I die. I could never take myself out though. But, maybe ask me again in about a week. This is horrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFatboy Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 "This is absolute tortuous hell."  Yes it is but you get used to it believe it or not. Some days are diamonds and some days are stone! It's funny that you turned off the TV as I have done the same thing thinking that I heard a buzzing noise but no such luck, it's the freaking ringing in my ears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFatboy Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The turbo king lol. Usually when i'm out cold I don't hear it but some nights it's hard as hell to get to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
