    Tinnitus Perception vs. Actual Volume

    Exactly @Makrohn, otherwise there would be fantastic therapies that would get rid of the sound permanently if only we would try hard enough.

    Tinnitus Perception vs. Actual Volume

    Perception making it less worse is saying like you can still stand on a broken leg because your leg is still attached to your body. It's nonsense, I'm sitting here now and I'm trying to make my T go away but it won't. It'll keep coming back, well let me rephrase that: it never goes away. My...

    Why You Shouldn't Be Afraid of Suicide Stories

    There's a few things that always comfort me during T. - We're not going through this alone. - There's probably someone else in this world who has worse T than me. - I still have moments where I can laugh and enjoy even though it is not silence anymore. - I have seen a lot of awareness and there...

    Anxiety to... Everyday Noise

    I had the same feeling even though I have T not that long as you. If a normal sound irritates you then you might have H. I got rid of it by opening my window at night. Before I did this even a passing car in the street could irritate my ears, made me stress out and eventually I got a new sound...

    Low Frequency Added to My Orchestra

    I might have not been so active on this forum but you all and Tinnitus are still on my mind. Even though my high pitched T is still screaming and I lost my anxiety to it the last time I posted here (29 of august). That time my low pitched hum was still blazing. But, since its start in the mid...

    New to Tinnitus and Distressed!

    What I've read over the past couple of months is that use of oxotoxic medication can result into T. The risk is higher for long-term than short-term and logically short-term use has a better chance of healing than long-term use. So like the rest of the people that come here: we can't say if it...

    New to Tinnitus and Distressed!

    Also make sure you eat well, green food carry a lot of anti-oxidants that help recovery. So stock up on vegetables and fruit. In the meantime, stress is difficult but it should sort out eventually. I'm in this for 5 months now and I'm learning to live with it even though I miss the sound of...

    Why Can Birds Restore Their Hearing Yet We Cannot?

    I've read somewhere that the hearing of mammals is much more sophisticated than of birds. Our range is better, their hearing is still underdeveloped and thus easier to fix.

    Poll: Do You Have Multi Tonal Tinnitus?

    Yes I too have multiple tones, I can hear 7 of them clearly. They range from 6-8khz while one is a really low drone sound of 50hz. Luckily I'm Tinnitus stress free now but I still hope for some improvements because I've had none to this day. The low drone sound had some improvements last week...

    Three Things I Do to Mask/Lessen My Tinnitus (I Hardly Hear It)

    Hi John, Sadly magnesium did not influence my Tinnitus. But it does help against stress because that uses up magnesium rapidly and it helped my bowel movements even though most people report the exact opposite. I took 200 mg before going to bed. It's cheap and it won't hurt you so it's always...

    Poll: Did the Severity of Your Tinnitus Change Over Time?

    Well this poll will be really discouraging for a lot of people because most people who saw improvements eventually left this site.

    Soundpillow: Dangers?

    Generally speaking you put sound close to your ears so its the same like using a headphone to play white noise at low volume level, not the exact same because headphones are realy direct but still it's pretty close to your ears. It's better to lay that pillow at your feet and set the volume a...

    Is This True? Tinnitus Becomes Chronic After 3 Months?

    Ok well cupping his hands over your ears is just something else. Ear perforation normally only occurs with 140 db or more. Since you only have a single noise trauma you can still get some improvement if you protect your ears, don't over protect them though. Using the phone is like a headphone...

    Waking Up with Tinnitus Gone, A Few Hours Later It Comes Back... Anybody Else?

    Ok good to hear you have some quiet from time to time. Must be awesome. Do you think it was due to TRT or just time?

    Waking Up with Tinnitus Gone, A Few Hours Later It Comes Back... Anybody Else?

    @Michael Leigh If I may ask Michael, I have read your topics but do not recall about you hearing complete silence for some (hopefully not scarse) moments, when did you get these moments and how long do they last? I'm just curious. JoyBenz and Melike do seem to have a pattern though and it's not...
