  • Sometimes I fantasize about becoming a billionaire and donating all my $ to tinnitus research. That or start a dog shelter.
    Dylan Blake
    Donate half to research, the take another half to starting an animal shelter, with the remnant buy out a local non-chain business in Your area, a gas and sip for instance, then use Your cut on research and animal shelters. but it's only fantasy, so *proceeds to sing the Pirate song with the word billionaire instead of Pirate* I promise never to sing again.
    I find it crazy the fridge in our apartment is insanely noisy and I've never cared yet I still can't habituate this bloody tinnitus.
    Holly1987
    Oh hi Ed! You changed your pic, I didn't realise it was you. You're so right, I hope in time I can get there.
    Dylan Blake
    You will, Holly1987, stand firm.

    I'm exactly like you. It is like i was absolutely fine with that noise and suddenly I catch the sound and it bugs me for months. Just like a radio, catching a particular noise frequency..
    After reaching breaking point from this spike I got an emergency ENT appointment. He said there is a lot of fluid behind my ears .
    Holly1987
    He said once the fluid drains hopefully the tinnitus will return to baseline.
    Holly1987
    Feel really pissed off 6 weeks ago my Dr wouldn't give me a referral... I've had the worst few months. Knowing it was fluid would have helped my anxiety so much
    Holly1987
    If you get a random spike don't let people tell you it's all part of tinnitus. Demand to see an ENT.
    I finally found a white noise that helps me sleep, "2 hrs of campfire" by Steven Lucas. Found on spotify.
    Went for a run and near the end was getting very tired, my tinnitus got louder. I think it was cheering me on. "You can do eeeeeeeeeet"
    Sometimes I hear a random noise and start panicking it's a new T sound, I freak out until I find out where the noise is coming from.

    My poor fiance, at least once a day I will say "can you hear that noise?" I'm a nervous wreck!

    Same, once I was at my friends house I heard a faint ringing, I panicked for about 1-2 seconds thinking it was a new T tone, and then asked my friend if she could hear it, and luckily she said yes :D It was a tv box that made the sound.

    My mom has done this for year. Use to drive me crazy! Now that I have T I do it too!
    Wednesday was a bad day for me Holly.
    It seemed to bug me all day long.
    When I woke up this morning I wondered what my day would be like.
    Would it be another despairing day, or could I take it easy?
    "Easy Dave - just take it easy."
    I've had a pretty relaxed easy day.
    As per my meditation routine, please try to practice a 'soft mouth' Holly.
    Holly - we would all love a cure, and I so hope it happens for all of us.
    But in the meantime, we have to try to cope and live as comfortably as possible.
    Either in meditation, or auto-suggestion.
    "Easy Holly - hiss is normal," just may help to take the sting out of it a bit, once that message has sunk in. xx

    Thanks for the encouragement Dave xxx some days it really wears me down. Tomorrow will be better.
    Crazy how an online forum full of complete strangers can give you the courage to go on. I am forever grateful to everyone on here.

    There's strength in numbers. I would be so lost if I had to seek advice from people who didn't have T and I'd also think I was being soft. This really effects us.
    Holly1987
    I would be lost too, I was telling my parents about it and they were like "oh that's no good, sounds a bit annoying" I explained to them it was causing me extreme distress and they looked rather puzzled. Thank gosh people here understand.

    My mom said something very similar within an hour of when I was told to deal with it. I was patient and cried once I hung up the phone.
    T is so loud today I actually laughed at how ridiculous it is. Unsure if I'm coping better or have indeed lost my mind...
    My spike switches ears every few hours. Is this a good or bad thing? I think I'd rather it stay in one ear..

    If tinnitus is in your brain that is not unusual. I have that happen a lot and become confused. I think it's more of a perception that it's in your left or right ear. But I could be wrong.
    Tried giving up caffeine and lost my enthusiasm for life. I lasted 2.5 days

    Coffee can lower the risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, so don't feel guilty about your morning caffeine fix ;)

    I am drinking my morning coffee as I am reading this haha
    ....to the ends of the earth Holly....

    Holly1987

    Kids are letting off fireworks behind our house, I'm praying they don't get tinnitus. I feel like yelling out "PROTECT YOUR EARS!!"
