Managing Tinnitus

[Casual]

Had an ear infection two weeks ago and it’s come out of nowhere.

Have any of you dealt with it before? Any advice?

Yep. Mine reduced over time, the brain adjusts to tune it out. Doesn’t stop it being frustrating as hell though. I would just get on the CBD oil or gummies to chill until you’ve kind of worked through it. There’s apps like this to replace the noise with other sounds: Enjoy Tinnitus Relief with the ReSound Relief App | ReSound Australia

Tinnitus & Hearing Loss

I think there’s a real problem with damage to our hearing caused by some of our favourite pastimes. Whether you’re a DJ or a punter, not many that I’ve ever noticed, wear ear protection. I’d say it’s almost impossible to get people to wear any, until they start experiencing issues. Perhaps things are different now but I rarely saw anyone at Plastic People for example, with ear defenders. And that rig was loud. Presumably, for a lot of you fellow disco-codgers, that mildly annoying ringing noise…

Were you taking any medication? I’m pretty sure mine was if not caused by, certainly exacerbated by antibiotics

I took amoxicillin for the ear infection.
