With motorcycles its not so much the engine noise that's the issue. Its the wind buffeting through your helmet at higher speeds which reaches well past 85 DB. I remember riding on freeways and express ways pre-tinnitus with no ear plugs, I always had fairly loud bikes but they were nothing...

Definitely, like I said just hang in there. Mine is also in the middle of my head and its a constant extremely high pitched "EEEEE" type of sound. As mentioned in my previous post, I do have some days where its louder than others but I'll be honest I really do not have anymore days where it...

David, I tried noise machines, music, air conditioners pretty much everything, It really didn't do anything early on for me so I just gave up on them and slept in silence (or what all of us here know as silence), eventually I could fall asleep even with the ringing. Your second question is a...

Hey Martin, You just gotta hang in there for a little while, I know it sucks right now but it will get better. I've had tinnitus for a little over 2 years now and just like everyone else the first few months were really bad. I didn't believe anything I read about people saying its going to get...

No Idea really, it just popped up out of nowhere one day. I've been to a dozen ENT's and have had MRI's, hearing tests, everything always came back normal. -Edit: I've tried a dozen supplements, nothing ever helped so I just gave up and let time do the healing. It's pretty normal to have a...

I'm not even sure why Im back on here, out of curiosity I suppose. I can tell you this, I have had t for a little over a year now. The first few months really sucked, I can't deny that. I didn't believe anything anyone said, habituation was impossible in my mind. But as time went on, I...

Oh yeah, I still am. Although I'm assured that my tinnitus isn't caused by hearing loss or damage (since I've had multiple hearing tests done, all without issues even in the high ranges) I'm still not messing around with being around excessively loud things, and I don't recommend for anyone...

If it helps, I definitely had H in the beginning, maybe the first 2-3 months but it faded as time went on. I still believe I may have it at a very minimal level. For example, I no longer can sit next to like an old CRT tv you know the ones that whine. Well I can, but its super freaking annoying...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd make a post, I haven't been on these forums in months now and I can't say thats a bad thing. My whole tinnitus story began almost a year ago now, I still remember the day, It was August 28th. I had just come back from a night of beer & pool with a few of my buddies...

Sorry for not answering sooner, haven't been around. Usually just very high pitched tinnitus more so in my left ear. It can be heard over almost anything. On my good days I barely even notice it, but on my random bad spikes its just impossible to mask. Having one of these spikes right now...

Not particularly. Sometimes I'll be having a terrible morning and by the end of the day its so silent I can barely hear it. Other days will be bad for the whole day.. Lately I've had more of a pattern where it's bad for 2-4 days and then really mellow for about a week or two then randomly bad...

Luckily its been getting better :)

@Telis I think its fair to say at this point retigabine is not a dud, its pretty clear that it has very positive effects even at fairly low doses (not in all cases obviously). At this point we've had a fair number of people test it, with mostly positive experiences, sure there can beside effects...

No cause that I can think of, just started up one night (august 28th to be specific). Fairly high pitched, couldn't really find anything that produced a similar sound frequency wise. Feels like its right in the center of my head more than my ears. I do have a slight history of motorcycles...

Pretty much in your same boat, wish I knew the answer, Mine will drop down so low that I'm not bothered by it what so ever, literally impossible to hear until I go to bed. Then it'll shoot up like it has for these past 4 days out of the blue and even becomes reactive.. All I can do is wait for...
