Tinnitus is like a telemarketer, it just won’t stop ringing.

    Thanks! I think it’s on it’s way out, I never had one before so I thought I was slowly losing my hearing or had a blockage at first, I was kinda freaking out before I went to urgent care a few weeks ago. I didn’t think it was an infection because I had no pain or apparent inflammation, but the doc there put me on a couple weeks of meds and mentioned how fluid can build up behind the ear drum and cause all those problems despite that.

    So basically I think it’s persistent but hasn’t been severe (probably because of the meds) and it does seem like it’s clearing up, but hearing my own voice still seems a little funny. As long as I’m not losing my hearing and can keep listening to music I’ll be okay though.

      Oooo I hate hearing my own voice through my head! I’ve luckily never had an ear infection, so hopefully I continue that streak. I’m glad you didn’t have any pain, at least. But having tinnitus eeeeeeeeee sucks! If nothing else, at least it inspired a cure animation!

      I’m happy to hear it’s on its way out. :3
