i’ve always wondered this but i see people listen to music through earphones everyday of their lives for like years to full volume music and are fine but i heard you could get tinnitus from loud music. so it seems like it takes a lot to get it or hearing damage so how much does it take? my friends listen to loud music for hours. some people have done it everyday for years and are fine! so confused

Started as a "rushing" noise in my ear about 2 years ago, occuring off and on. For the past three months, I’ve had been a constant high-pitched ringing, some days louder than others. Occasionally, I have an "episode" where it is so loud, it’s like a train whistle in my head! Most days, as long as there’s background noise, I can deal with it. Other days, even background noise doesn’t "mask" it and I want to pull my hair out! I’m 53, in good health, otherwise–but have no insurance and unemployed–which is why I haven’t seen a doctor…any good, sound advice to help relieve this "ringing" would be greatly appreciated! Oh–I believe I do have some hearing loss because of it–not sure if it’s that or just that some noises bother more than others–like when the dogs bark…

Also when I’m stress or excited my tinnitus gets really bad.

I know there are alot of things that can cause tinnitus but anyone know why when I’m stress or excited my tinnitus gets worse.

Does anyone know if penicillin can cause/or aggrevate tinnitus? If so please explain, any experience?

I’ll choose best answer
ive taken penicillin as i have swollen glands/lymph nodes. im a bit achey all over too, but no cold symptoms,

i had quite a severe build up of ear wax, which has never happened to me before, and since then i’ve got a loud ringing in that ear which i believe is tinnitus, i was wondering is this permanent? because i cannot concentrate and its causing me to lose sleep and get stressed, if it is permenant are there any ways of curing it???
