Hi @Kimberley Carlin im able to take Motrin (small dose) without any issues on my T. However, I don’t want to risk one day that it might so I changed to a natural source. Turmeric works great on pain for me. Maybe look into it. My doctor was the same way. Pretty much said try whatever you want...

I would go and have a nice night out. Try not to think about your T and just enjoy yourself. Your brain will be much more interested in the band than your T. Wear ear protection and just have fun. It’s unlikely you would be the only one wearing earplugs at a concert. Friends will not judge you...

I can’t imagine what it’s like to have severe T. I have been struggling just to habituate to a moderate level T. A good friend of mine has severe T and no matter how positive he is it still impacts his life greatly. I refuse to give up on him and really hope we see a treatment soon. I am so...

@Michellejean stay strong and keep on living your life. Your positive attitude will make you even stronger. You have a beautiful daughter :) keep doing fun things together and try to not be so focused on your T. I hope it will fade soon. I have been dealing with a spike and wanted to take time...

Hi @Ligeia I’m sorry you’re going through this. These are similar symptoms I have as well. The key word here is “scared”. Your ears are very sensitive to noise right now and your anxiety is creating these feelings. Your “scared” of loud noise but it doesn’t actually cause pain. Most likely...

Hey @JoshuaD2002 you need to relax and calm down my friend. Everything your typing is out of pure anxiety and fear of the unknown. Please leave your ears alone and keep yourself busy doing things you enjoy. Distract your brain so the noise isn’t the only thing your focused on. If you sit around...

My T is what I would consider mild/moderate. Indoors i use sound enrichment and masking especially at night when I’m trying to sleep. Most of the time outdoors I can barely hear it unless I listen for it. I can hear it in my car though so I use music at a comfortable volume. I get fleeting T...

Hello! It started as a very faint ringing that I could barely hear 8 years ago which was likely caused by stress/anxiety/medications. I have been suffering from anxiety for many years. Fast forward to feb 2018 after a very stressful week I woke up with a very high pitch ringing in my ears. I...

I just recently left my ENT appointment and on my way out they gave me a how to live with tinnitus sheet. Based on the size of that stack of sheets I assume they hand out a lot. I hope we find relief soon :(

@Deamon22 which nasal spray are you using?

I hope your doing better today @Michellejean stay positive and remember it’s most likely temporary while your ear recovers. Keep busy and try to not focus on the sound so much. I’m going through a spike right now myself. Keep your head up and reach out if you need anything.

Can anxiety really cause hearing loss?

Thank you @J.Hartog im going to reach out to my psychiatrist and gp. Hoping for the best. I have read some horror stories about benzos. I guess even a small dose over a long enough period (which I believe has helped me) can eventually cause dependency. Even if this isn’t the cause of my recent...
