Hi everyone! I've had tinnitus for 7-8 months and I think it is almost gone. I can hear it sometimes during the day and night (I would say like 50% of time) and only if I look for it or am in quiet rooms. Sometimes I don't hear it even if I try to put my fingers into my ears. I'm writing this...

Hi! I took Alprazolam for four weeks plus two weeks for quitting. Always controles by a doc. Didnt have any problem...just The day I reduced dose I had a bit of headache and feel a bit nervous (did a lot of phisical things like clean aaaall home he) but just that. Not a Big deal. A month is too...

I just discovered this thread. wonderful. In May I started with tinnitus and although it went down and disappeared at times, a hard moment in June led me to an anxiety attack and to the emergency room. Worst moment of my life. I took Xanax for four weeks. Everything scared me, I was terrified of...

hello compatriot! I read your post months ago, how have you been in this time, have you improved? my best wishes.

@Joe Cuber, if anxiety has caused your tinnitus, then therapy may help you (is helping me). To sleep, it helped me to put lavender essence on the pillow, so, in darkness and silence, I could focus on sense of smell.

Hi, Javier. I'm from Spain, too. Have you experienced an episode of stress or anxiety, or any episode that may have caused this even if you do not consider yourself to be anxious? I ask you because it can be a cause to take into account.

So lucky! Last one (I've seen two ENTs before this one) just said 'maybe it is your jaw, so tense... deal with it'. No treatments, no tests, no talk at all... no empathy. This one gave me hope (but was realistic, he said tinnitus may go away, but may not; and if it resolves, we never know when...

I started with tinnitus on April 30th. The sound was getting softer, at times I heard silence (sometimes beeps, less and less beep and more hiss). The general evolution was so good... I was happy and optimistic. But on June 8 I had an anxiety crisis, the sound became very loud... I went to the...

I've started with Nasonex because of the pressure feeling and the pop I can hear in my ears. I hope it helps. I'll let you know!

Sorry @beetjuice, I haven't read your post. What I do: SCM stretch. Neck stretch. Nape stretch. Another stretching using the tongue: stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth (just a little) and slightly open your mouth. You can notice the stretch in the neck or under the tongue. Jaw...

Thank you. Those are foam earplugs. My doctor once told me they were better than wax earplugs. I also know there are silicon ones, but my ears are really tiny so I can't use those. Which ones would you recommend? About altered pressure, I have a constant pressure feeling in that ear. My...

I have slept with earplugs for years. I used to use wax earplugs, but have switched to foam earplugs. I have had tinnitus for a month / two months. I'm trying to sleep without earplugs but my neighbors are VERY noisy (Erasmus students). Last night there was no silence until 3 am in the morning...
