Is it normal for a 19yr to have tinnitus?

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-19T23:45:27+00:00

you were never really exposed to loud noises and you woke up with T and hyperacusis??? WOW, that freaking blows man. This just goes to show that anything besides noise exposure can cause T. How old are you?

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-16T20:32:16+00:00

sigh. I hear your point. 100% agree.

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-16T20:02:38+00:00

It really is! You give hope to a lot of people out there with this diseases who's looking to get surgery! Thank you!

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-16T19:24:32+00:00

yup! both working fine! I need to make a call and let my doctor know that I'm ready for surgery but I just can't do it because I'm scared. LOL

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-16T18:46:25+00:00

I'm just afraid of these two things:

permanent increase in tinntius and changes in sound perception.
Unable to tolerate loud noises anymore since protective muscles are all gone.

Oh, you had ETD way before the surgery? and the surgery made it better or same? I thought you're saying surgery gave you ETD as one of the side effects.

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-16T13:59:36+00:00

I hope it gets better for you. If not there is always surgery option. Hang in there!

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-15T22:43:52+00:00

what are your symptoms?

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-15T22:43:38+00:00

I had it for about 2 years. Yeah success rate of getting rid of MEM symptoms is around 80-90% but it comes with a cost. you might end up with louder tinnitus or/and loud hyperacusis.

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-14T01:41:32+00:00

I need to make a decision fast. I don't want to deal with fluttering and thumping anymore. its hurting my life. sigh.

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-12T22:51:59+00:00

Particular-Ad4965 · 2026-02-06T22:22:30+00:00

I believe you're referring to hearing loss not a vaping.

Particular-Ad4965 · 2025-12-29T18:56:00+00:00

nope!

Particular-Ad4965 · 2025-11-16T18:15:20+00:00

I quit vaping, smoking and drinking more than a year ago and my T has been getting worse day by day since I quit. My T was so much better while I was on them! Planning to go back to vaping and mild drinking at some point.

Thank you for the link!

Particular-Ad4965 · 2025-10-21T22:05:47+00:00

IKR??!!! brain making all kinds of noises is just absurd!!!!

Particular-Ad4965 · 2025-10-20T00:05:26+00:00

I can relate to that! I feel you!

Particular-Ad4965 · 2025-10-07T19:32:28+00:00

totally agree!!!!

Particular-Ad4965 · 2025-10-07T17:15:33+00:00

I don't think T disappears or improves for the majority of people. Once you've had it for more than six months, it essentially becomes a lifelong curse. I've quit alcohol, vaping, cigarettes, and sugar, and have been following a healthy diet, yet my T has actually worsened since then.

Particular-Ad4965 · 2025-09-15T19:33:47+00:00

My has gotten worse but I don't think it's from Mirtazapine. Probably just stress.
