Hi guys, hope you're all doing okay, hope your day is going well for you all. So I had my second Audiology appointment last week. My Audiologist puzzles me somewhat, as he doesn't seem to think Tinnitus is that big of a deal. He talked about how /everybody/ has tinnitus, says everyone is...

What should they have told me? Cause I'm just more confused than ever I feel dumb about it all.

Was in with him for an hour and he reckons he has tinnitus but can only hear it when he gets a cold. Dunno but I'm pretty sure people's can get permanently worse? Not according to him.

went to see an audiologist and he said a lot of stuff I felt unsure of afterwards. For example, I've had tinnitus for over a year now and most of the time it's quite mild, it fluctuates sometimes but other than that it's OK. I got it after a night of clubbing and a bad head cold. Anyway. He told...

I have only been out to walk the dog cause I haven't been well and I could hear it then and I only used to be able to hear it at home ugh it's horrible :( never gonna sleep

it's been 11 months now and it was relatively mild with the occasional spikes but now I swear I'm in hell. I've had a cold and really bad cough for over a week and my tinnitus is SO LOUD it's like a computer noise maybe but just loud loud loud. I took cough medicine with codiene in and it made...

for the last week or so I have been having the worse coughing fits, doctor thinks i might have whooping cough but either way my tinnitus is louder and it has been since I first started with this virus. It was quite mild before but now it's a constant like computer noise and it's horrible and...

Hey guys Are theatres as loud as cinemas? Really want to go see Mary Poppins as it's touring haha but seeing as it's a musical I guess it's going to have some loud bits just wondered if anyone knows if it'll be that bad? 2015 is the year I got my T and I've become a bit of a recluse because of...

Yeah I try warning him about it becoming chronic but his usual response is that everyone gets it after going out. Hm sad thing is it was my second night out and I got it never even experienced it before but when I woke up was still there. My dads had it for fifteen years but he just woke up...

Do they take a lot of getting used to? The other night I tried playing some supposedly relaxing noise whilst I tried to sleep and I hated it didn't even have it on loud. The crazy thing is my brother gets it every time he goes clubbing but it always goes next morning and I even say you could...

Thanks everyone for your replies. Michael, don't apologise because I'd much rather you were honest and I appreciate your opinions and I think I'm just going to leave them alone now. My earphones that is, which I find hard but I find it harder lying in bed listening to this never ending noise...

Hey guys. This is two separate things really but similar I guess. 1. Does anyone with reactive T, or I guess just T that gets louder with loud noise, and people with sensitivity to loud noises, do you still go to the cinema? I absolutely used to love going and the noise never hurt my ears. Since...

Are you saying my T is gonna get worse and worse over time instead of better? :( where do you get sound machines from and what noises do they play

It took about two hours to go down to a normal level didn't get to sleep till past 4 :( And honestly I'm not sure what caused it, it started after my second night out in my life but I also had a really nasty ear infection at the same time so I can't say. Normally I can sleep without any sound...

this only used to happen at beginning and now nearly eight months on I've literally just woke up its nearly half two in the morning and my head was just full of this really loud tone and it sort of got a bit quieter but it's still there along with my usual static noise which seems louder. I feel...
