[La_teacher]

hello everyone… on July 23 I was watching tv and all of the sudden my right ear start to ring ( hissing sound) I start to panicking because 6 years ago a dentist took a tooth out he didn't properly close the hole ( no stitches) I bled the entire day my family took me to the ER where miraculously there was a dentist and he patch and stitch the hole, the next day I wake up and both of my ear where ringing I inmediately got anxious and start researching on google(worst thing you can do) article were saying that it was call “ tinnitus”and it will never go away but after 2 weeks the ringing disappear. Now is been 6 weeks and my right ear still ringing I went to the ENT and he did a hearing test my left ear is perfect but my right ear lost a little big of hearing he told me that that was the cause of my tinittus, the first 2 weeks were “ hell” I was constantly thinking about the ringing , I was crying most of the time, I was not eating at all I lost a lot of weight, I was getting to a deep depression praying every night asking god to please to help me habituate to this condition because it was gonna stay with me my entire life ,god was listening to my prayers I wake up one day feeling hungry Smiling , laughing and my ringing was not bother me at all I forgot about it and it was like I got use to it overnight , I thank the almighty because with out him I was lost and I was heading to a big depression and anxiety, today I can say my tinittus is not going to destroy me I an much stonger that his, by the way I went to y dentist last week for a cleaning he disco er that my 2 right wisdom tooth have cavities and they have to be remove so On october 2, 2023 Im having my wisdom tooth removal suegery I spoke with my oral surgeon about my tinittus and he told me that he dont think is my wisdom tooth causing ny tinittus but again every person is different and it my go away after the removal who knows, but im not expecting anything if my wisdom tooth is the reason for my tinittus well it will go away if not well I will still smiling and living life the best way possible.

Hello, I'd recommend trying two things:

1) As you’re based in the US, you could try attending a Tinnitus Support Group there: ata.org/your-support-networ...

2) Tinnitus UK have a series of treatments listed on their website rated by 'Safety' and 'Efficacy'. Try some of the safe/non invasive treatments and see if any have a positive effect: tinnitus.org.uk/tinnitus-tr...

Best of luck with it ; O)
