    When Was Tinnitus Talk Founded?

    It just seems strange that if people arnt that bothered by it than they don't search for it online. But wouldn't that mean they are not actively taking steps to protect themselves? Therefore wouldn't these people (unknowingly) do something they shouldn't and cause their tinnitus to spike. This...

    When Was Tinnitus Talk Founded?

    I'm just curious because we only have just shy of 9,000 worldwide members but according statistics it affects around 35 million in the U.S only! I've watched our members grow from 5-10 a day but that still seems fairly low. Having awareness is so important and having a large community come...

    1-Month Update — I Would Love Feedback!!

    Hello all! I'm at work so I'm going to make this as short as possible. My T started 8/6/15 (one of the most memorable day of my life so far ) I went directly to an ENT who prescribed prednisone, which I absolutely recomend to any new comers. I would rate my initial T a 7 out of 10. It was like...

    @LadyDi Thank you for following up! It has been extremely frustrating so far. I went to an ENT who prescribed prednisone for about 2 weeks. The thing is the T is very ransom and comes and goes sometimes soft sometimes very loud so when it does come it's hard for me to get used to it and I...

    Life Came to a Screeching Halt

    I was laying in bed, and then boom it was like someone flipped a switch. It sounds very similar to what most hear. There was a video when I signed up giving examples and it's very similar. I have never had any hearing problems in my life. It's coming from my left ear although it sounds like it's...

    Life Came to a Screeching Halt

    No I don't goto concerts, I hardly goto bars, never clubs. I listen to headphones at the gym and my car is slightly loud but nothing that crazy, I rarely go anywhere loud really. That's the main reason I'm so upset, I cherrish my alone time. My favorite thing is to get home after work and watch...

    Life Came to a Screeching Halt
