How long does tinnitus last?

still have tinnitus now had for 2 months…

I have had tinnitus for 6 days now after shouting loudly and worried it won’t pass, I do hope it does. Has yours subsided yet?

I had tinnitus a few months ago. I didn’t do anything to treat it, I thought I was going to go deaf or something, but I just let it go and eventually it subsided. It lasted for a week and a half. So it could take a while.

I’ve had it for about 4 days non stop after a few days band practicing without protection. I think it was about 3 days where I had little protection, certainly the third day I wasnt wearing any, and neither the second. its really scary thinking your gonna live with it forever, but my dads a doctor and says douzens of people come each day and say they have tinitus and after an average of about 2 weeks its gone. He also said the tinitus subsides in tune with the ammount you think about it. good luck buddy!

I have had it on and off for years. Usually it only lasts for a few minutes, first a change in pressure in my ear (I get it in both ears not at the same times though), then a steady tone for anywhere from a minute to several minutes straight, then it subsides. Today I got it in my right ear and it lasted almost an hour straight. It freaks me out because I’m a professional singer/musician (probably why I have the problems I have w/my hearing), and I need my hearing for my career, so it is scary. And it causes some sleeplessness too.
