Ears still ringing away loud, one week later. Let's hope week 2 I see some progression of it calming down to baseline.

Today was not a great day for me at all, and I'm not sure if my anxiety is getting the best of me or if it is my H & T. Today I went for a hair cut and highlights. This is something I have done before, and while the place I go to can get noisy I have always been fine wearing my foam earplugs...

This may be a weird question, but obviously I have Tinnitus, so I understand my ringing to an extent. But about 20 minutes ago while just browsing the internet my left ear went deaf and I got a different ring, it was very high pitched. The ringing and the "deafness" slowly faded but now my ear...

I love checking back in on this thread and reading positive stories. Here is a funny story to add to the thread! I wear earplugs at restaurants and when venturing out on the busy city streets because of my H, which means I hear my T always with my plugs in. As I was walking earlier today I...

Umm, I'm actually not sure! Sorry! But I know there was still some noise but it was definitely pretty quiet compared to the likes of a drill.

Thank you for sharing this! I have not yet had a recovery from my H yet, but this is the kind of story that continues to push me forward and keeps me hopeful!

Look into places that do air abrasion dental work. No drill is involved, I have gotten two cavities filled that way since having h & t.

I thought my H came from a sound event as well, and my audiologist said it was unlikely since it was almost 2 months after an event. She said it probably was from the stress/depression I had put my self into. But yes medication can cause both T&H.

I'm very happy to see that this thread is still going strong! Remember, even on dark days - think positive. It may be hard, but it is worth it.

Hello @Dr. Nagler, I have had Hyperacusis since January, and have been using the pink noise cd from the Hyperacusis network since early June. My LDLs at that time were 68-72. I used to have the TTTS symptom of the fluttering in the ear upon hearing certain sounds, sometimes my voice...

Mine came about after a 2 days of very loud concerts, I had ringing which I would get after concerts but this time it just never went away.

In my last post I talked about how my T has gone down - but as I thought about it, and last night as I had earplugs in I realized that may not be the case. My T was roaring away - I think my perception of it just once again changed. I no longer have an intense anxiety about it all the time. But...

When with noise-induced T started 12/2013, after about 7 months I was feeling 95% back to myself, and T was low and didn't bother me anymore. Then I had a spike (November 29 2013)+(January 8 2014), due to attending a concert - and T came back strong with H too. Now I am working on correcting H...

I check in on this thread every couple days, and I am so glad that all the positivity continues! :) This thread is proof that you can still live a happy life after T!

I used to take an Amtrak every weekend 4 hours away, for the first 8 months of having T. It never spiked it, and I didn't ever wear ear muffs or anything. Sometimes I did listen to music at a low volume and sleep though!
