Greetings friends,

As of almost two weeks ago, Saturday June 22nd, I have been suffering from moderate to severe tinnitus mostly in my left ear. It was as a result of being too close to the discharge of an M-1 Carbine, firing blanks, at a WW2 reenacting event. I know I should have had ear protection, but I wasn’t aware that we were going to be doing much firing this year and our leadership didn’t give us much info on what our plans were, so I was unprepared…stupid I know, and I feel so filled with regret for abusing my ears.

I have seen a nurse practicioner at a walk in clinic and she told me my ear drum looked ok, she said to see an ear nose and throat specialist. I called two different offices and they cannot fit me in until July 24th.

Anyways, I have a friend who is an audiologist. She told me to wait it out and stay away from any loud sounds and she would look in my ear and give me a hearing test on 7-10. My tinnitus has waxed and waned during this time, during the day usually it wanes quite a bit, but in the evening and when I try to go to bed it gets awfully loud. I’ve been losing a lot of sleep.

Please pray that God will provide healing, or that He will provide me with the help I need to deal with this condition. I am only 30 years old and I am so scared that this could be chronic. Prayers and encouragement are most welcome. Thank you all so much.

Praying for your healing …

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
+++Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliever us from evil. +++
 
Lord, touch Josh with your divine, healing hand and send him a “Simon” to help him carry this cross as you had a Simon to help you carry yours. Grant him many graces to come through this. Grant him speedy healing in this matter. Send angels to minister to him and help guide him through the mystery of suffering toward your eternal garden, now and forever. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, pray with us. Amen.
 
I pray that God provide you healing, or that He will provide you with the help you need to deal with this condition. May He grant you comfort and help.

Praying for you man. I did the same thing before I got out of the Marines a few years ago on the rifle range, wearing no ear-pro. I’m 25 and have had chronic tinnitus for the last 3 years or so now in my right ear. You do get used to it eventually.
 
I will pray for this prayer intention and I will pray for the person for whom prayer is asked on this thread :

Hail Mary, Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
 
You have my sympathy, concerns, and even more prayers.
I know what this is for a far different reason. You have your age on your side. Keep any and all appointments.
Praying for your ears…truly.

:gopray:

Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom
and the Power
and the Glory for ever and ever.
Amen.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus.
Sancta Maria mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen

I am praying that your tinnitus is cured.

God bless you and protect you.
 
I had this problem a few years ago in my left ear, then I went for Laser sessions, not the Laser for operations but the Audio Laser, where they put an ear phone attached to a Laser Computer had a good few sessions, and its gone down from 10 to 2, just a slight hissing and sometimes it goes lower. Look up your Directory for Audio Laser and make an appointment it changed my life, hope it changes yours. Also keep of cheese/wine I also found this did not help the loudness of the hissing.
 
Lord, please provide FromTheAshes777 with healing for their ears. Amen

Amen.
 
I’ve got the tinnitus pretty bad in both ears, I find white noise helps a lot when trying to sleep. A fan usually does the trick for me.

Thank you for your service. One of my best friends in the world is a career Marine and he also complains of tinnitus from his service time, he’s been a good friend during my difficulties with it, it always helps to have someone who understands…hopefully guys like you and him will help motivate funding for research for a cure. Apparently tinnitus is the #1 most complained about health problem for current service people being discharged.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. God bless you all.

Thank you Rhubarb, I do sleep with a fan, have done so for several years…I think I need something more though at least for now.

I’m going to try some nature sounds from my phone tonight and see how that works…I may invest in some ear buds made for sleep from the American Tinnitus Association if it gets bad enough. I’m hoping that my brain will start to habituate to it a little more in the coming days.

Thank you all again for your prayers. I have experienced some improvement in my tinnitus, hoping that it continues to improve over the next several weeks and that the Lord will allow full remission. Thank you all again. God bless.
