    My Tinnitus Is Almost Silent After 2 Months — Don’t Lose Hope If Your Tinnitus Is Recent!

    Ninap - your situation sounds very similar to mine. My tinnitus also virtually disappeared only to return a couple of weeks later. The good news however is that it did eventually disappear after a few months. Mine was an ear infection also, not noise induced as I first thought (fire alarm) Best...

    Tinnitus from Close Proximity to Fire Alarm — This Is So Awful

    Yes, agreed. Had most of the day today with very mild T that came back to usual level at about 6pm. Can't get used to it all when it's so changeable, appreciate that this *might* be a good sign in terms of future recovery.

    Tinnitus from Close Proximity to Fire Alarm — This Is So Awful

    I've gone through my whats app messages for the period 10/4 - 30/4 to my mum/friends and "no issues" was an exaggeration. In these WhatsApps I've mentioned things like "slight ringing in ears in the morning " "it's definitely working" "so much better" "hardly notice it" "nearly 100%" etc What...

    Tinnitus from Close Proximity to Fire Alarm — This Is So Awful

    @Bill Bauer within 48/72 hours of taking the nasal spray decongestant (on 10th April) my symptoms improved. The tinnitus faded and I had days of silence partnered with nights with some faint T but a few days later this went as well. I thought I was pretty much cured. I stopped the nasal...

    Tinnitus from Close Proximity to Fire Alarm — This Is So Awful

    Anyone had a similar experience? Currently my T is a faint sometime moderate high pitch. It's like my head is plugged into a tiny electrical current. I feel mild vibration sensation sometimes too at the back of the head and forehead. I can cope reasonably during the day although thoughts are...

    Hello. New Here. Suffering from Tinnitus for 2 Weeks — Triggered by Noise Exposure.

    Ok thanks for the reply. Do you find you pretty much forget about it now or does it still occupy your mind constantly? I've started feeling a tingling, tightening sensation on my head recently, did you have any physical symptoms? Thanks

    Well, My Three Month Tinnitus Anniversary Is Coming Up

    Hi Noticolor, This sounds very similar to my timeline re the nasal spray. I was prescribed it too and yes I had nearly two weeks of no/minimal symptoms before T reappeared. Do you get any respite at all or is yours consistent 24/7? I'm starting to find that mornings I barely notice it but...

    Tinnitus from Close Proximity to Fire Alarm — This Is So Awful

    Hi all, Idling engine noise that seems to be originating from my left ear also seems to be causing a tingling /vibration across my head. Incredibly annoying, maybe built up anxiety together with tinnitus stress has ramped this up? :(. I get very mild headaches from this too, normally start...

    Tinnitus from Close Proximity to Fire Alarm — This Is So Awful

    @Bill Bauer Ok thanks for the info. I've taken a few days off, I find this place can be overused and researched and therefore disadvantageous but equally its full of great people with a lot of help to offer. Finding the right balance still. Thank you to all that have helped me so far, I...

    Tinnitus from Close Proximity to Fire Alarm — This Is So Awful

    Ok thanks didn't realise this was common. I thought you may have symptoms that appeared straight away. I felt no pain at all just slightly uncomfortable, as most people are when a smoke alarm sounds. Yes, it's not worth the risk. I'll sort something out. Another awful night, sub 2 hours:(...

    Tinnitus from Close Proximity to Fire Alarm — This Is So Awful

    Thank you. No not at all. I have days when putting dishes and glasses in the washer make me grimace and other days when it doesn't seem to affect me. I did plug my ears when I used a set of clippers on my hair a few days ago but that was a day after I felt things were going downhill again. I...

    Tinnitus from Close Proximity to Fire Alarm — This Is So Awful

    No they've both been together. Idling tinnitus has only been in left ear. I've had the very high pitched shrill in both ears and it feels like across the whole back of my head. The idling tinnitus also is 'physical' I can feel it pulsing although not to my pulse it has got its own agenda.
