Hi. I am just checking up here. I have also opted for the natural process of ears cleaning themselves. Do you still do it this way? Has there been any complications? Dillon

Just need someone to talk to. Since I got tinnitus 1 year ago. From the first day my mother has treated me like shit, never ever recognizing my tinnitus. Just want to talk to someone about it.

Does this relative also have tinnitus? Or just hearing loss?

Casinos are loud. But then again so is a pencil dropping in a quiet room. I'm just glad I can hear them at all.

Tinnitus itself doesn't seem to bother me... it's just, I fear hearing loss, and going deaf. But there are hearing aids to help me if that is the case? The tinnitus I know will never go and I am at the stage where I can say I am 50% habituated.

Hi everyone. I am about 9 maybe 10 months into my journey with tinnitus. Safe to say I am not in panic phase anymore. Still find myself a little bit angry about it, but I'm sure with time I will get over it. My question is: I am 24, and I need to make money. I am currently unemployed. The best...

So today, for the first time in about 2 years, I decided to go gym with my friend. He's pretty good at it and I think he was pushing me (which I think is good!). However, after about 30 mins, I would realise everytime I would inhale that my ear seemed to spaz out and become 100% blocked...

Hi. I just experienced this. Really freaked me out. Any solution for this?

Thanks all. I keep volumes consistently under 80 dB (maybe even 70 dB). Plug up if it gets louder than this. I am only 24 and have a long journey ahead with my tinnitus. One thing's for sure, I'll never use headphones ever again, however, I might wanna listen to some music a little louder and I...

Seems we are all immune to one of the symptoms.

"Extra sci fi" I love that!

Just to start by saying my tinnitus is noise induced, about 8 months in. And I will never wear headphones again, I am generally cautious of sound too. My question is, obviously I got this affliction by listening to music, and have been keeping volumes very low since then. Is it okay for me to...

Well an update on this comment. 1 in 3 times it seems to make my tinnitus (dare I speak its name) quieter, or maybe just not notice it? Also, I'm trying to look at things in the long run, as I'm only 24. Marijuana has a strange way of making you face your fears. It may spike the perception of...

You know what. Fuck my tinnitus. I am going to smoke weed. And whatever it does, let it be so.
