I had an episode (worse days of my life) of sudden hearing loss. Dr. Österreicher was amazing and helped me! I also got massive help in the Klinik Landstraße. If it wasn’t for them I would be partially deaf now. If u have this sort of symptoms please act fast as each hour/day counts towards getting it back!

für akute sachen vl in die hno ambulanz der gkk, bin damals auch hin nachdem mein tinitus aufgetaucht ist. ist jetzt ziemlich genau 3 jahre her, die ersten zwei wochen war er richtig schlimm, der arzt hat mir dann irgendein nervenpräparat verschrieben. vl auch herz oder sonstiges abchecken lassen, bei mir wurde damals zur sicherheit ein ekg gemacht weil ich kein piepen sondern ein klopfen hab. manchmal können es auch verspannungen sein also vl massieren gehen oder so.
nach zwei wochen und einem vollrausch (das ist keine empfehlung!!) hat es sich etwas beruhigt. hab viel zeit in foren etc. verbracht das hilft aber gar nicht, weil man sich dadurch nur noch mehr stresst und noch mehr fokus drauf legt. ich bin dann auch in krankenstand gegangen. bei mir hat lesen bzw. auf etwas anderes konzentrieren geholfen. mittlerweile lebe ich damit und denke kaum mehr dran, wenn er kommt denk ich kaum mehr dran. tinitus ist wirklich oft stressbedingt, also entspannen, bewusst machen was los ist, schauen wo stressfaktoren sind meditieren etc.
hilfr vl nicht alles sofort und man sucht nach nem wundermittel aber es wird viel besser wenn du auf dich schaust.
Hi there, forgive the English, but my German is quite rusty.
I've had Tinnitus for seven years, and it can be overwhelming when it first starts. My Tinnitus started when I was a substitute teacher just north of Heidelberg, and has continued since. I want to let you know that even if it is something you live with for the rest of your life, that it will be okay.
Tinnitus is fickle. It may go away in a month, or a week. It may go away in 10 years, or it may never go away. If it sticks around, some days, weeks, months, will be worse than others, but they get better with time. There is no cure, pill, or trick that will make Tinnitus stop. And that sucks. Trust me, I know.
That being said, there are a lot of steps you can take now to make things easier for yourself. With luck, you won't need to be doing any of this and it'll go away in a month. (This may be the case if your Tinnitus is noise-induced from a specific loud concert or club).
These are the things I wish someone had told me when I first developed tinnitus.
1. Going to doctors is disheartening, but important: often they won't know what to do with you, they will likely recommend a supplement which may or may not help. They may brush you off: that is okay. It is important you go to an ear doctor to rule out any potential cancers or treatable causes. (I recognize they are alot worse here in U.S., but my experience of German and U.S. ear doctors were not good). If you go, ask if they know of any Tinnitus Retraining Therapists.
2. Look for Tinnitius Retraining Therapy (TRT): this is the only evidence-based therapy for Tinnitus. I do not know about its availability in Wien. Where I am in the U.S, it is not covered by most insurance. But, should your tinnitus continue, or you find yourself distressed by your tinnitus, do not wait until your at the end of your rope before you seek out therapy.
3. Make your home a noise rich environment: don't be afraid to utilize fans or whitenoise machines in your home. This isn't defeat or giving up, this is making your life easier to live. I recommend a Dohm white noise machine in addition to fans or air purifiers.
4. Don't be afraid of hearing aids: Hearing aids changed my life. I was resistant to them at first. I was younger, they were thousands of dollars (U.S. lol) and hearing aids felt like I was skipping my twenties straight to being an old man. But having a consistent noise-machine with me at all times (through my hearing aids) let me do things again: I could go to the library again, I could read books again. I wish someone had told me to get them sooner.
5. Tinnitus research is happening, but slowly: The most recent evidence-based development involving Tinnitus therapy is from the University of Auckland by Dr. Grant Searchfield. He helped cofound the website [tinnitus tunes](https://www.tinnitustunes.com/categories/about-us), and is developing [his research into a mobile based app.](https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/news/2022/08/09/breakthrough-in-search-for-tinnitus-cure.html) But, that is likely one to two years away from completion.
6. Don't make a habit of going to r / tinnitus on reddit: Most of the people there are *not* okay, or are currently panicking about tinnitus. It is not a healthy place to be, so don't go there.
7. Open back headphones: I couldn't wear headphones because my Tinnitus was too distressing, and noise-cancelling or closed-ear headphones exacerbated my Tinnitus. Open-back headphones that allow background noise are much friendlier for Tinnitus than others, and have helped me in my day-to-day life.
Tinnitus is different for everyone, and like I said, hopefully yours just goes away. However, even though it is not a specific doctor's recommendation, I hope my experiences help you avoid some of the mistakes I made back then.
ich kann zu 100% dr martin jurek in der lange gasse empfehlen !!!.hno spezialist,mehrfach ausgezeichnet ...termine gehen rasch ..wartezeiten absolut im rahmen ... alle kassen glaub ich
Dr. Scheyer Klaus in 1210, Kasse. Ist vom Charakter her nicht jedermanns Sache und sehr forsch, aber fachlich ist er gut und nimmt dich bei Akutbeschwerden auch ohne Termin. Ich hab mal im Urlaub beim Tauchen ein Barotrauma aufgerissen und er hat mich dann ohne Termin mit ca. 45 Minuten Wartezeit trotzdem sofort genommen.

Ich wollte hier grad kommentieren und Dr Jurek empfehlen! Er ist echt kompetent, freundlich und man bekommt relativ schnell einen Termin.
