    Do You Get Sudden Spikes in Tinnitus and Change in Ear Pressure?

    Doesn't happen to me much, maybe 1-2 times every 2-3 months. But my tinnitus will go from being masked by the environment to being very loud (almost always in my tinnitus ear but it has happened to my non-tinnitus ear as well) and I sometimes feel a change in pressure as well which causes me to...

    Environment Too Loud — I Wish Society Was More Tinnitus Friendly

    I like going to the movies but I fear the loud noise could make my tinnitus worse. Tonight I went to a roller skate rink for adult night and wow... so loud. I asked if it would be quieter during day hours and I was told the volume is the same. I had fun but still... I couldn't hear myself...

    Does Your Tinnitus Get Better When You Listen to a Similar Frequency Sound?

    Should I Start Drinking?

    I have heard that tinnitus can improve with alcohol. Is this true? I really need help getting sleep at night.
