For 8 months I’ve had tinnitus in my right ear. I went to an ENT and all the tests came back normal.
I’m almost positive now that it was caused by shooting a loud rifle once without ear protection.
I’m so @%#+%+ because my brother talked me into shooting the rifle and said it wasn’t loud enough to where I needed ear protection so I didn’t get it.
After that whole incident I now have trust issues with my brother. Since I kept saying no and he kept trying to convince me to shoot.
Whenever I hear tinnitus my anxiety jumps because I go back to that day and just imagined what life will be like if I just said no to shooting.
Whenever I go to bed at night or wake up in the morning I can hear the tinnitus. In the morning I’m not sure what it is because I just woke up, but then it’s depressing knowing it is still there, and that it hasn’t gone away yet.
Sometimes it sounds like it is going to fade, and a couple days I think it actually did fade so much that I couldn’t notice it.
I don’t know what brings it back, but it goes back to the original volume sometimes.
It’s just depressing because I know what silence is like somewhat because My left ear is fine.
The good thing though is the tinnitus isn’t as loud as when I first noticed it 8 months ago.
So I’m wondering if it will fade in a couple years? A couple times it’s faded to almost nothing, and it’s never gotten louder except once when I had to walk by loud speakers.
Now, I bring ear plugs everywhere no matter what because I never realized how loud our world can be.

I’m a college student and have been under a lot of stress lately due to finals and because I only have 1 more class before I graduate. My tinnitus started a couple days ago after I finished a very stressful class and has been persistent ever sense. I’m never exposed to loud noises or loud music, just lots of stress. What’s odd about the ringing is it will change pitch every few seconds from a moderate ring to a more intense moderate ring to a high pitched loud ring and then back down again; this repeats over and over. I was thinking it might be allergies but Claritin doesn’t seem to help. I’m planning on calling my doctor on Monday to get it checked out because I’ve had sinus infections in the past so I’m hoping it’s treatable. I also suffer from anxiety but I’m not on any meds at the moment.
Blood pressure is normal
I am in an area where lyme disease is prevalent.
Here are my symptoms:
headaches, localized and entire head
tingling/ pins and needles
crawling sensations
other odd sensations
floaters
tinnitus
random stabbing/ shooting pains
anxiety
hearing loss
basically things like that off and on.
I had a CT scan and an MRI that both came back normal. I have been to the doctor and ER a few times and they said they don’t know, that it may be migraines, but this has been going on for MONTHS now. I can’t be happy and I keep freaking out because I never feel totally normal anymore. Does this sound like it could be Lyme disease? I am an eighteen year old female.
I get pains all over my body, including joint pains.
It’s been since July. I’m almost 100% sure that lyme disease does not kill you that fast.
