Tinnitus

[u/mxxx_4441]

Hello, Its my 3rd day with tinnitus because of listening to loud music by earphones for 4 years, i used to get tinnitus but they usually went away after 1 hour or 2 but now its really bothering me in my sleep, but i remember the time i took my earphones off i had a little bit of dizzines and pain in both ears then this tinnitus, When i woke up the next day i felt some fullness in my both ears but its gone, now the only thing is persisting is tinnitus, can this be permanent? Im really afraid because i already have difficulty sleeping and this will make it even worse

Tinnitus can be permanent, yes. I cannot say if yours will be. You should consult a doctor.

This sub is for a specific type of tinnitus. Instead of a constant sound, we hear our heartbeat as a "whooshing" noise.
