So I went to urgent care for sleep aides or prednisone yesterday...this is now the 4th doctor I seen and as soon as she looked in my ears she told me I have an infection. Out the door with allergy meds, amoxicillin and flonase. Why would it take them this long to tell me that? She said because...

Hi Greg, I've heard of this NAC, what does it stand for? I guess I could google it but chatting is more fun lol

Hello all, so I went to an outside festival, the bands played every 30 minutes. and the last two bands played an hour each for a total of 6 or 7 bands. The bass was loud but I didn't feel hurt by it and I was a good distance and took breaks. The only concern was during a set where they...

It's disheartening because it was silent for the whole two days, not just moments. I really wish I knew the cause of my tinnitus.

Well...I really hesitated to come back on here but I find myself needing some more encouragement, not so much a diagnosis (haha). I was doing quite well for a couple days last week where I heard complete silence ( i know that's not a thing) but you know what I mean. Then it flared up as a buzz...

Maybe I'm just focusing on it too much causing it to become louder? Hmmm

So just another update as I find your support helpful, my T is loudest after sleeping and right before bed. This makes me so curious as to why. The fan in my room seems to cause a spike and it's not very loud. Today is rather louder than yesterday. Hoping that it goes back down.

Have any of you personally flown with T and experienced neutral/postitive/negative experiences? I have a few trips coming up and would like to know preventative measures to take to lessen the likelihood of a spike or return of excruciating T. Please refrain from posting any horror stories or...

I should note I have been doing meditation, CBT (back to silence method) and acupuncture once a week while taking ginkgo biloba. I also drastically changed my diet to all raw veggies and plain chicken with fruit and only water. This helped with maintaining my energy throughout this hell. I also...

Update: I finally slept the other day without medication, although woke up to it screaming managed to go to sleep again. Yesterday was like an electric sound through my brain all day but very faint, thank god. I guess this is the hiss sound? Still here today but I will take it over ringing and...

Hi there, Thank you for your tips and encouragement. It's at a minimum now but very annoying. The hardest thing for me is staying asleep at night and the fluctuating ringing of it. It is so high pitched at times that it hurts my head. I am a believer in God as well and know he will give me the...

Update: So yesterday although I was extremely exhausted, I had moments of silence and felt up to going to the local fair. I did wear ear plugs (the correct way) but there were moments where I didn't have them in yet and there were loud crowds. Today I hear ringing but not as bad as other days...

Thank you for your tips. I'm stressing about it because I keep thinking about it. I definitely need to get out of the loop. My A/C is on right now because it's hot in my room. I guess I should turn it off? I'm taking prednisone right now and I went to a concert after onset. Stupid choice but I...

Did you ever have small instances of T? I would always hear slight rings after a concert but they would go away. This continuous T happened after I was breathing heavy though, I layed my head down and had anxiety come over me, then bam! ringing I fell asleep to music that night...went on the...
