What are the chances that my tinnitus (ringing in the ear) will go away?

I started to get a pretty bad beeping noise in my ear about 4.5 months ago after attending a loud concert. The sound is much quieter now than it was when it first started, and I can usually only hear it when I’m in bed at night. What are the chances that it will fade away completely?

It doesn`t. I have had it since I was 10 years old, and that is 30 years ago. It will be quieter at times. I have learned to ignore it. I had chronic ear infections when I was little, and doctors think this may be one of the reasons.

IF it is really tinnitis, it may never go away. Be sure you see an ENT. It could be something other than tinnitis.

It may never go away. Try to adapt to this condition, listen to music at night or get a noise machine of some sort. But just in case this is something serious, consult a physician.

Any loud noises (as well as soem medical conditions) will cause tinnitus. . .and it’s possible that yours will fade in time. But to be sure. . .see a doctor. . .or look it up on the web. There are quite a few websites devoted to tinnitus.

there are certain vitamins for the ear and you can also massage the area around your ear to help with the circulation. Good blood flow to your ears is important. There is one vitamin called “Ring Stop.” Also, if you want to protect your ears and keep the ringing from becoming worse….you can do like I do and wear earplugs all the time. Good Luck.

I keep hoping that young people will learn that loud sounds will kill the hearing nerves in your ear.
Since yours was caused by loud music, it may be temporary, especially since it is quieting down.
At night, run a fan or play soft music to help cover up the ringing.
Last, but NOT least, go see a good ENT doctor and let him evaluate the damage….please. Jet engines got mine.
Good luck. Pops
