    Suicidal

    I shouldn't have characterized your response, that's my bad. Fair point. I just hope your excellent points, and my points, aren't overlooked due to this reaction from Autumnly. We're both just trying to help. :cool: On a super positive note, I see our thread starter is still with us here...

    A Hierarchical Chart of Most Common Tinnitus Sounds?

    Ah that's ok. Was just hoping to connect some dots. You're lucky. I really hate fireworks and thunder. Here in NJ we often get storms. And there's a local school that loves to do a fireworks show every year. My ears are very sensitive. But I believe that's just because my hearing is really...

    What Does Your Tinnitus Sound Like?

    I hope bumping an old thread is ok. I just really found this important. Also I realize how much worse it could be. While I do think listening to some sounds temporarily made my Tinnitus worse, I feel some comfort that I found something similar. I couldn't describe the sound. It took 14 videos to...

    New to the Forum and Searching for Ideas — Here's My Story

    Please be careful. This could make it worse. Try to only do the amount you need. Don't try to match it. Just enough. You have to take care of the ear as well. What about a different doctor then? Maybe one who can rule out any blood disorders? Or a neurologist? I really think the goal of ruling...

    A Hierarchical Chart of Most Common Tinnitus Sounds?

    There are times I think someone is talking but they aren't. Always unintelligible. This mainly happens in a certain room of the house. I could just be hearing my dad's TV since it's directly below. I also think sometimes certain sounds like my soundscreen can mimic this. Do you have very good...

    I Don't Need a Fan Anymore — Tinnitus DOES Get Easier

    Yes but peace of mind is still peace of mind. The end goal is the same. It's still a very wonderful thing. And there are some cases of tinnitus improving.

    Is It Normal to Experience Ear Pain and Headaches?

    That could be an issue with your sinuses/ear infection. I'm glad you have an ENT appointment. This will hopefully rule that out. I wouldn't panic. It will only make you feel worse. What did your doctor recommend you try that you haven't?

    Suicidal

    Allan, are you on any treatment for the anxiety and depression? Those alone can debilitate you. Add in anything else, and it's just so insanely difficult to fight. But please realize that you are fighting it. Every single day. You are stronger than you think. Look at what you've gotten through...

    Tinnitus Worse After Sleeping with Silicone Earplugs In (No Pain)

    What does yours sound like? Everyone: Don't click the link if you have bad tinnitus. Also, lower your volume a lot before clicking. I went through a ton of videos and finally found something that's kind of similar. Mine is like it but lower, softer. More of a humming to it. But mine doesn't...

    I found this: I'm trying to see if I'm able to describe my tinnitus more accurately.

    Nose and Ears Blocked, Sometimes on the Right Side, Sometimes on the Left Side

    Yeah could be allergies. Ok very interesting that it alternates. I've had clogged ears switch from one side to another. It certainly seems like, whatever the cause, it is moving. So I take back my other comment. It very well could be fluid. That actually sounds like a good thing. There's...

    A Physical Experiment for Those Whose Tinnitus Is NOT from Loud Noise Exposure

    1. Yes 2. No 3. No I'm a major gamer and have had a massive amount of computer usage. I also have a degree in Computer Animation. Never had any ear ringing until less than two months ago. I do have terrible posture. I do have neck issues. I see a chiropractor and massage therapist weekly for this.
