  • Does anyone else not get H pain but instead get H itch/tickle? It feels like I wanna scratch my cochlea but can't.
    I've returned to remote work and I'm doing a good job. It's difficult but I tune out the loud T. The hard part for me is no relaxation.
    I'm hitting 6 months in two more weeks. There are good days but there are also days that are still so hard...
    Day 2 of spike from my dad dropping a huge thing of firewood inside our house. I don't wanna keep doing this...
    My dad dropped a cord of wood today which made a huge boom, resulting in nausea inducing volume tinnitus for me.
    I am at a fixed point from which I watch healthy people pass and fade out of sight. I am in the world, but it is no longer accessible to me.
    I am self-aware - I know the inconsistency of my posts makes me seem a little nuts - it's just the reality of my T changes so drastically.
    I've just been in one big range for 5 months. Every month I have a better period where I think I reach an inflection point but it's fake...
    Dr put me on cyclobenzaprine and methylprednisolone for my back pain. Anyone know if this can mess with T? I imagine the answer is yes.
    Bad spike yesterday after driving with hearing protection. I thought I was just in a stage of discomfort but still fighting for my life...
    Having lots of trouble getting to sleep after driving today. Looks like spike was a bit delayed...
    I have Keppra. Anyone with experience as it relates to spikes e.g. preventing them?
    Had to drive about 45 min to the doctor today on the highway. Used earplugs and Peltor but still spiking. Hoping it is short-lived.

    About an hour later it has indeed come down somewhat. This same trip a few months ago had me crying on the floor - now I'm just moderately discomforted : )
    Pretty good 3-4 day streak ended today. Mostly tssss/tcccch noise continually over everything all day. Exhausting.
    Definite improvement in day time volume and decreased perception in noisy environments, but in silence it still gets super loud.
    5 months at 12/25 - I've learned to cycle Kava and Xanax to cope, but baseline has only marginally improved. Nights are still about as bad.
    I really dislike people on here who tell others T is fine but then say they've been in hell for many decades.
    Most annoying Tinnitus sound is this low pulsing - I've timed it at 6 pulses per second. Cmon...
    Having fun explaining the anatomy of the ear and pipeline drugs to my therapist every week.
    My 5 month mark will be on Christmas. Have had various ups and downs but overall still debilitating. No consistent progress, just random.
    I've officially asked my friend to hook me up with some fungi to try microdosing.
    Why does my tinnitus spike every day around 2pm then stay loud til bed? What could be happening in the body...
    Who else subconsciously feels like the more they trawl this site the sooner a treatment will come?
    Has anyone who used to spike to basic sounds gotten better? I can't drive nor listen to music much, nor use the tv loudly, at 4.5 months.
    All Xanax days, positive trend?: 10.10.20 / 10.12.20 / 10.17.20 / 10.24.20 / 10.31.20 / 11.03.20 / 11.07.20 / 11.14.20 / 11.24.20 / 12.12.20
