Both of my ears have high a high pitched ringing noise plus a hissing noise. Worse in my left ear.

Thank you @billie48! So glad you are doing well and finding happiness in spite of your T! I hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise...Enjoy!!! :)

Hi @billie48...I am doing ok. My tinnitus was improving until I stopped wearing my TMJ guard, now it's back to where it was which is upsetting. I have so many health issues....I was wearing it and all of a sudden I got excema on my lips which I think may have to do with an allergy to the...

@dpdx I feel your pain as I have had T & H since the middle of May of this year. It was absolutely horrible the first few months due to depression, stress, and anxiety. I truly thought I would never get better. I lost 20 pounds, I wasn't eating or sleeping, my stress and anxiety was through...

@aberob My ringing started from a loud concert in a small venue, however, I believe that my stress and anxiety cause me to clench my teeth more which worsened my TMJ and T. I only wear the splint at night, but it appears to be helping me. I hope that my T will eventually decrease during the...

@NewTDx I have my motorcycle license, however, after our friend crashed, I just ride on the back of my b/f's bike. I actually wanted to go for a ride last weekend as the weather was nice, but we didn't get to go. I feel confident though that next year I will be back to normal and doing what I...

@NewTDx I can totally relate to your story. I feel like I stopped living when my T & H started. I was afraid to do anything or go anywhere because I was terrified of making it worse. I am now starting to live my life again and wow did I miss it! I consider myself very lucky as my T is mild...

I have been with my boyfriend for almost 11 years and I recently got tested for both types of herpes viruses just because I wanted to know and I am negative. Just be careful when she feels one coming on and you should be fine. I usually don't kiss my boyfriend for about two weeks after his...

Hi @aberob...I have decided that life is short and I want to enjoy it again, so I started going out again. I now am drinking coffee and alcohol on occasion and although it may make my T spike at night, I am doing it anyway. When I go to restaurants & bars where it is too loud or there is a...

I have noticed that my T lately is gone or hardly noticeable when I wake up in the morning, however, when I get up and shower, it starts to become more noticeable and becomes louder as the day goes on. I am hoping that this means I will eventually get better as time goes on.

I am finding that Motrin reduces my T as well. All I can assume is that I have inflammation due to TMJ and the Motrin is helping reduce it. I take it occasion, but I'm trying not to take it too often as I want to see if my TMJ splint helps reduce the inflammation over time.

@Carlie Jackson Hi Carlie...my T was almost gone this morning and now it's louder since I got up. Is that how yours is? My T started with a concert in May, but I found out I also have TMJ and am on my fist week of wearing the splint. Mine is uncomfortable too, however, I am trying to give it...

I got mine a week and a half ago and it didn't affect my T. I know everyone reacts differently to things, however, I feel that getting the flu would affect my T in a very bad way and don't want to take chances. I also have asthma, so I get the flu shot every year.

@jjflyman Thank you for posting all of these success stories...they give us hope that someday the T could disappear! :)

@mattryp I totally understand where your coming from with the regret. I got my T and H at a loud concert that I didn't even enjoy. I told my b/f I wanted to leave but he couldn't hear me and I just stood there like an idiot when I should have gone outside and just waited for him there. He's...
