Similar story to you. I habituated to tinnitus after like 2 years. Then I had 3 good years. Then in February of this year I had a pretty massive spike that freaked me out bad, felt like I went right back to the start but worse. Oddly it would cycle around 3 bad spike days, then 1-3 good days...

I think the most confusing thing for me is that if I engage in something meaningful and like fully get my mind off it, often the pressure goes away entirley. So I'm failry positive anxiety is at least a factor. This leads me to going back and forth as to if what I'm feeling is even "real" so to...

Thank you, I really appreciate the input. I'll give both those a try.

Perhaps you've already seen this but I highly highly reccomend it. I've habituated to tinnitus twice now and both times this post was very useful in the learning how to not check it. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/back-to-silence.7172/

It's been a long time since I posted. Years I think. I've largely habitutated to my tinnitus (twice now) and it really doesn't bother me. The anxiety around it is still a problem but it's still quite the hole to come out of. Recently however over the last 3 weeks to a month I've been having...

Last time i ran there was this clicking sound in my ear that was in time with my steps, not even sure if it's T related. Are there any runners out there who've experieced this? Didn't really cause any problems but it's made me hesitant to run for fear that it is related to T though as i said...

So a piece of filling just came out, knew it was gonna happen eventually but darn it i feel pretty down. Last time i went to the dentist was a whole lotta stress and no fun and that was pre t so i'm really dreading this. The whole filling didn't come out so i'm hoping nothing needs to be done...

@ady Hmmm i've read one study dealing with topical absorbtion of salycidic acid which can absorb through the skin but only a little for relatively large doses and it had nothing to do with tinnitus. It just worries me to look at that long list of chemicals and then use it. I know i'm probably...

So one of my new fears as of late is my skin care products, I made the mistake of looking up the ingredients and found all sorts of scary facts, my cleanser has salicylic acid which I know can cause temporary tinnitus and while I seriously doubt this has anything to do with my own tinnitus I am...

I've gotten drawn into exactly the kind of paranoia You're talking about here and your right, it's not fun. It's down right miserable being afraid of common foods cause someone somewhere on the internet says it's bad for t. Seems like literally anything coupled with the word tinnitus on a search...

So I've been wondering this ever since I heard antibiotics were ototoxic. Are the common triple action antibiotics which contain Neomycin safe to apply to cuts and such? I read they're only ototoxic when ingested or injected into the vein but wouldn't applying it to a cut get it in your...

Oh snap, but now I'm thinking maybe I can take a blood test to see if I've been exposed, which could be a lot easier. I hope I don't sound toooo crazy here.

I have a doctor I like though were both in agreement that there's little he can do about the T. As to the solvents I'm gonna try and see if I can test the room somehow to see without a doubt whether there's harmful toxins in the air, though I'm pretty darn sure there aren't. And oooo ho ho I do...

Nice! To be honest I've read some of your previous posts and they gave me a pretty good scare, Glad to see that those posts are merely slices of life and not the trend as I'm sure we all have to realize. One of these days when I feel confident enough to post about my own successes I intend to go...

Here goes. About a week ago i noticed a strange sensation/sound in my head. It's pretty strange though, my "normal" t i perceive as sound but this feels like it's in my head, like im forced to think it, though my "normal" t remains unchanged.It also comes and goes, i won't perceive it in silence...
