Old thread, but relevant: A few days before my T started I noticed a "rushing" sound in my ears when I bent over and when I looked it up I learned of tinnitus...

I've learned that I can effectively fight tinnitus through the use of staying active, going to work and using white noise to sleep. All this said, I'm tired of the fight. I don't want to fight tinnitus. I want to be done fighting because it's exhausting. I feel like T has robbed me of the...

No hearing loss according to my ENT! He actually says I have great hearing! :)

1 or 2. Only hear it in quiet or plugged ears. Music sounds fine. Emotions have been terrible. I'm on Lexapro for anxiety and the T has made my anxiety even worse.

I have played in a rock band the past two years and unfortunately I did not use ear protection... That being said, it was only for two years and I'm only 18. When my T started I hadn't played music in a month. I have excellent hearing according to the ENT I saw (after an audiologist did my...

Hey guys, Both of my ears ring but my left is far worse. I would describe the ringing in my right ear as "normal" or something that I probably would have never though twice about. My left ear however is annoying and it "hisses." The ringing from my left ear is audible in a quiet room and...

Mine is anxiety-induced so I'm on Lexapro and I use melatonin to help sleep. :)

Really? That's very interesting. Feel free to message me. Would love to discuss more...

No. Yes. No. Circle. Blue. Yes. Yes.

My T started December 20th. Laying in bed that night I heard my ear ringing and so began my journey. Although I guess the journey had started some time before that as I was at a low point with my anxiety. I was convinced I had heart problems and was soon to die (I'm a healthy 18 year old). But...

I'm starting to learn how common T is and somehow it's made my experience a bit easier. Since I've been going around talking about it I've learned that my aunt (not blood) has it since her teens, my grandma (not blood) had it since her 20s, my other grandma (blood) is completely deaf in one ear...

Well it's good to hear from someone who can relate! I'm younger so I don't have as many stories but in the past few months I was 100% convinced I had cancer, followed by IBS, then I though I had a heart attack. All of those things are not true and I am totally healthy but then in the midst of it...

. Hmm, it's not a bad idea but I really doubt that's my issue. I would describe myself as a hypochondriac and prior to T I was doing a lot of tests to check just about everything. As you can imagine this included blood pressure which always came up fine. Also I'm 18 years old and in fairly...

Yesterday I went to the gym. It's been awhile since I worked out and am looking forward to getting back into it. Something weird happened though. When I was really into my workout and doing some more demanding exercises my left ear (the one effected the most by T) felt clogged and blocked up...

I had depersonalization for about a month close to a year ago. That was before my tinnitus though. Mine started after smoking too much pot and getting really high during a time in my life where I was very anxious/depressed... It lasted about a month and finally cleared up when I filled my life...
