Question: Is there even a treatment? For me, it's not a constant ringing, and my mom's friend thought it might be my problem because her husband had it, but I'm seeing a specialist on the 22nd. I looked some stuff up about it, and it did say constant exposure to rock concert could cause it, and that's me in a nutshell. It's not the ringing that bothers me, it's the way that I can't be around arcades because the vibrations bother me. I can't be in churches or movie theaters because the noise levels also get to me. I miss going to concerts, and I have one coming up on the 29th which I think would probably be my last if I were able to go without feeling lightheaded or having a panic attack because of the noise. I'm only 17, and I think I screwed my ears over going to so many loud concerts.
Answer: What you have described is classic senseneural damage. The fact that you allow yourself exposure to ear damaging noise levels, and now certain frequencies of sound bother you. You have a very common condition and that is nerve damage to the inner ear. This is what is causing your tinnitus, and there is no cure. This is what you shoud now do, you need to protect your hearing or risk losing even more. If you go to rock concerts, or even movies you need to wear hearing protection. Failure to do this will mean you will be wearing hearing aids at a young age. If you don't believe me talk to an audiologist and get it from them.
