    Going through a MAJOR Spike

    Wow.. I really thought i had habituated but I caught the flu a couple weeks ago and WOW, is my T bad! Bad as in more loud and annoying as ever before. :( Even though I feel i've been over the flu for about 5 days now, the loudness of my T has not changed and still overly loud. Anyone else...

    Do You Notice the Noise When You Wake Up...?

    I sleep with a noise machine all night. When i wake up and turn it off, My T is the loudest of the day. It seems to get better as the day progresses. Over the last couple weeks however, im going through a major spike it my T. Its very frustrating :(

    Great Online Noise Generator

    Not sure if this has already been posted but i wanted to share. I have struggled a lot for just the right frequency of white noise to completely mask my tinnitus while I work at my computer during the day. Most of them out there don't do well with my brand of tinnitus. I finally found one that...

    Does Your Tinnitus React to Some Electronics?

    Watching TV is one of the things that I cant definitely notice my T. It seems alot louder then.

    Reflections on Having Tinnitus for Just Over 2 Months

    I agree with all that Billie48 said. Give it time. I know its tough, but soon you will have the breakthrough day when this will happen. It will be in the middle of the day and all of a sudden you will think to yourself, "wow, i haven't thought about my T at all today and it doesn't seem to be...

    Reflections on Having Tinnitus for Just Over 2 Months

    Mpt, I pretty much hear it everywhere but mostly in quiet areas. When everything first started my ENT put me on prednisone and antibiotics. I really felt neither one did anything for me. Sleeping used to be a big problem early on, but i found a really good sound generator on Amazon. It...

    Reflections on Having Tinnitus for Just Over 2 Months

    I think i've come to the realization that I have this problem for life. It takes me on short spurts where i think its gone, then it comes back with a vengeance. I went a full 2 weeks where I thought my T was behind me. Then, out of no where, last week, it come back and it was about a 8 out of...

    What a difference a day makes

    I use just a regular fan on good nights(low volume T). On bad nights(high volume T), i use a white noise app on my ipad. Both work well for me. Thank god for my sleep hasn't really become an issue... yet. <fingers crossed>

    What a difference a day makes

    Kevin, Its been close to the same amount of time for me with my T. It actually almost stopped completely for 3 days a couple weeks back. However, just like what you experienced, it came back with a vengeance. I have to tell you, those 3 days were pure heaven. The best thing about it though was...

    Should I Stop Taking Antibiotics?

    My ENT prescribed Prednisone and an Antibiotic for me. I finished taking the Prednisone but I still have 5 days left on the 14 day stint on Antibiotics. I guess my question is if i haven't noticed any improvement in my T in 9 days, should i even continue the 5 more days? If anything, my T...
