    Went to the movie theater last night, first time going in over a year since my tinnitus started, wore ear plugs.

    As soon as the movie came on I put in my earplugs, I could still hear the movie but it lowered the volume a lot and it wasn't so loud, I watched the movie and enjoyed it, it didn't hurt my ears. I don't want to stop living, it took some courage to go back into a movie theater, but I did and I used caution with my ear plugs and it seemed to not cause a spike.

    It's been two days since the movie and my tinnitus is still the fluctuating sound it's always been.

    Usually better in the am, softer, becoming more harsh through the day. What do you experience?
    CrystalB
    Mine is also softer in the morning and as the day goes on it becomes louder, then some mornings it's loud. It's just hard to hibernate when it fluctuates so much.

    I don't know how long you've had t. Have you noticed the quiet time in the morning increasing for you? I'm hoping it does.

    The t is at a level for me that if I keep decent masking around, or it's a lovely rainy day, I can almost not notice it/forget about it.

    Does anyone know the percentage of people around the world who have tinnitus?
    derpytia
    they say that 10% of the population has it to some degree. but i think that percentage is possibly bigger than we know. even just talking with people i meet in public and at work, i find more people have it than i realized.

    Mine is very very loud. I'm thinking it could be related to my jaw or sleep. Could be neck muscles too. A sleep study would be a good idea.

    Is anyone's tinnitus so loud that it takes over your whole head? I have no hearing loss but it is so loud I just about can't hear over it?

    Hello Manny and CrystalB. Nice to meet you. Sorry your T is such a burden.

    My T is horrible, currently I use exercise and nutrition to deal with T. It's hard to motivate myself but I always feel better after getting my blood flowing and this also helps me sleep.

    My current theory is that physical fitness promotes mental fitness which both together help us cope with T. (@fishbone's approach influenced me.)

    Mine sounds like a 'FULL ORCHESTRA' of people inside my head, wetting their fingers and playing the rim of a wine glass, ok, thats enough party piece over...I said party piece over.....!

    My ears last night was the loudest they have ever been! Came close to going to the hospital, but knew nothing could be done :(

    I would suggest going to see your ENT to potentially get some prednisone since your recent spike is so intense. It may be able to help.
    Manny
    I've felt that way. Like, there must be some help - but there is none. It so frightens me.
    CrystalB
    I feel that way at times also! :(

    I met someone yesterday, later found out they had tinnitus as well, first person I have actually talked too in person that has it.
    Bart
    In the years since I aquired T I met and talked to countless people who have it also, some of them colleagues and friends , but most have it very mild , there is just one colleague who says she can hear it most of the time , she is or seems rather unphased by it , but she has it since childhood so I gues she is completely habituated to it .

    My tinnitus is super high pitch tonight! How can your body take so much pain.
    Ondrej
    How did you get your tinnitus?
    Jemina
    Stay strong. Let's hope it will start to fade
    CrystalB
    I don't know how I got tinnitus it happened one morning, I know i have ETD, but the ENT doesn't know if my tinnitus comes from ETD or not.
    CrystalB
    It's 11:06 pm and I can't sleep, been up since 2:30 am because of work :( tinnitus please calm down.
    dpdx
    Same here. I am so sleepy hardly slept last night. T was so loud I heard it over everything. God help me please.
    CrystalB
    I'm so so sorry :( this sucks so bad. How long have you had T?
    CrystalB
    Just about every time I tell a doctor I have tinnitus they smile at me and shake their head,why is that?
    Jemina
    They really don't understand how bad T can be :(
    CrystalB
    They really don't :( when I tell them I have tinnitus I think they know there is nothing that can ever be done.
    CrystalB
    I would not wish tinnitus on my worse Enemy.
    TheDanishGirl
    On some people I would think it is a very fitting punishment: people like Anders Breivik for example. But other then that no.....only the most vile and evil human beings deserve this condition :(
    CrystalB
    Tinnitus for 10 months now :( I do know with time I am reacting better to it, I don't panic as bad as I use to did, I'm better at accepting.
    CrystalB
    Been having some ruff days with my tinnitus also feeling off balance and light headed :) whoever can please pray it gets better! :)
    D
    I pray everyday that we all experience relief one day. Hang in there and keep your head up. We are all in this together.
    Autumnly
    Same here (have been feeling light headed for a few days now), in my case it's low blood pressure due to the warm summer. Hoping you'll feel better soon!
    CrystalB
    Thank you guys so much! We are all in this together, gotta keep going!
    CrystalB
    New schedule at work will be from 4am to 1pm, can't sleep much anyways, and now having to get up so early! No sleep here I come! :( ahhhhhh
    CrystalB
    It's the 4th of July celebrations of fireworks, and I got to enjoy them tonight by setting in my car with the windows rolled up :(

    How did you get your T
    CrystalB
    I don't know for sure, it happened one morning and hasn't went away. Some things happened a couple of days before I got tinnitus, but I don't know for sure what caused it.
    CrystalB
    Went on a little mini vacation, had fun, never would have guessed I would had ever went, I'm learning to deal better with my tinnitus!
    CrystalB
    Just to think of it, if life has to be lived one way or another, negatively or positively, why not choose to live it positively.
