    If Your Tinnitus Vanished, How Would Your Life Change?

    It would end up being the same as it was when I lost some of my anxiety induced sound sensitivity. Day 1: Oh lawd it ain't there any more Day 2: Yes still not there Day 3: Already forgot about it ever being there. I would be happy but I would stop being massively happy after a week of furious...

    Rate Your Tinnitus With 6 Questions

    Well at first I wanted to say it's all bad but once I honestly thought about everything, I actually have less than 6P's My sleep is great, I fall asleep better now than before T. I feel at times sad but not depressed. So I'm guessing I'm at 4P's. I read about how stress can make the limbic...

    Whistle Blown in Ear...

    Don't worry, if it's of any consolation my ears take daily loud noises people yelling chairs falling and such in the class room and my tinnitus hasn't worsened, my hearing is still normal, I only have recently gotten a touch of reactive tinnitus after a really really loud couple of laughs mere...

    Update on My Tinnitus/Hearing

    -Don't get a hearing aid unless you really need it. -No, well at least I don't think so, either way by the time you're 40 probably sooner there will be treatments and eventually methods to promote hearing cell regeneration in humans, it's already been proven possible they're just in the process...

    Is This Reactive Tinnitus?

    For the last month I have been plagued by something new. Some sounds produce a ring like after tone which had developed after being exposed to a very loud environment. I have also gotten a new tinnitus sound, a electrical crickety echo kind of sound and of course this sound is made louder by...

    Hyperacusis Seems to Be Back :(

    Yeah I think I had that after the first cold and with the second one it just got blocked more. Since I have a really stuffy nose/sinus problems I should really go to the hospital and have my ears/tubes drained.

    Hyperacusis/Hearing Distortion

    Ok, my last post was a panic induced pent up post. My feelings and life are nowhere near as grim. Look what I have is the following, my general hyperacusis-when car breaks hurt like hell has gone down. My original undertones -pc undertones are 90% gone. I think what I have is more of a reactive...

    If You Had The Choice?

    Neither because the great thing is in some 10-20 years there will be treatments and possibly cures. So yeah I'll take my mild tinnitus and wait it all out.

    Hyperacusis Seems to Be Back :(

    Dunno, generally with me it's 3 possible things. -Neck problems -Ears stuffed due to sinus problems -General extreme anxiety which I have only begun after 8 months to sort of let go. Excluding the 3rd one the other 2 I should really have checked out as it would probably remove some of the...

    Hyperacusis Seems to Be Back :(

    Have you gone to an ent?, maybe your neck is very soar so it's pushing up on the bones in your ear making them sensitive. After 8 months my neck is stiff AF so I'm pretty sure it's contributing negatively, but I'm just way too lazy to get it checked out.

    Hyperacusis Seems to Be Back :(

    Generally my way of thinking is, if it goes away for even a minute that means it can and probably will move along in time. So far it's worked, in the beginning I only had air T after waking up then it ramped up to ringing 8 months later I wake up in silence and it ramps up to very mild air T...

    Antibiotics for a Cold

    I'm not taking them for a cold I'm taking them so that the bacteria in my throat clears up, which it did within 2 hours. But on the other side I feel sick in my head and my gut hurts so yeah, still hate drugs.

    Antibiotics for a Cold

    I have been given a combination drug which is Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, can this make tinnitus worse? Last time I took amoxicillin my left ear spiked for about 2 days after I stopped taking it but after that it went away easy enough. I'm afraid of a spike as after recently getting a mild form...

    Loud Classroom

    No, if it weren't for these 3-4 idiots everything would be fine. My hyperacusis was never really bad and it has only gotten better after time. I'm not asking for any special accommodations, I'm just going to stick earplugs in every time there's a break while they're loud and during classes when...

    Loud Classroom

    I didn't mean you don't understand what troubles I'm having with hyperacusis, I meant you don't understand when you said that they're normal volume and my hyperacusis is just making it worse, I never meant to insult or say that you are just fine and or don't know what hyperacusis or having...
