When I stopped worrying about worrying. I keep myself busy to the point where I temporarily forget about the ringing in my ears. I picked up creative writing as a hobby. It’s a very quiet hobby so it forces me to reflect on my tinnitus, but in a good way. I try not to think about panic attacks...

Trust me. I thought the same. Firstly, change your mindset. Look in the mirror and tell yourself “I can get over this. I may not be the same but I will adapt.” Everyone is not the same. It seems like your case is different from mine. Mine is from hearing loss. The surgery probably made yours...

Yes it did. I had very high pitched reactive tinnotus at first. Then it got lower and slightly lower pitched. It isn’t very reactive anymore. Then I got used to the sound. It’s all a process.

It sounds like a seashell put up to your ear but way higher.

Hello, I was extremely active here years ago (2 years to be exact). I just want to let you know it gets better. I was in a dark place of my life when I got tinnitus. It was funny because I was trying to eat healthier and learn Japanese and here comes tinnitus to ruin my life. I went through...

I was enjoying my time outside while riding my bike and a boat was behind me. While they were taking off, they decided to be a butthole and blow the horn right near me. I was literally a few meters away from it. It didn't affect me or my tinnitus at first but now I'm feeling stuffiness. It...

You should ask for steroids to reduce inflammation.

Hey there, welcome. I just wanted to say I went to ENT (ear nose and throat Doctor) and as soon as I came in, they told me I have to live with it. It's not the lack of money, it's the lack of information on how to fix T. I just naturally got used to it. After weeks of crying and hating my life...

I just got a cold after going to the ENT, ironically. I need some help on what to do to ensure my T doesn't get worse. It's not that bad right now. I don't want to blow my nose too hard and push mucus into my ear. I hope my ear drums don't burst...what precautions should I take?

Yup, same thing happened to me. I took the maximum limit in a day (6 pills) and I got tinnitus. Almost 4 months strong. Still got this bubbling sound in my ear but it has lowered slightly with the help of Medrol.

Since it's not due to noise it will probably not go away COMPLETELY but will be a low hiss. I know anti histamines are good for clearing up fluid everywhere. Don't take anymore antibiotics if it didn't help. Those will make you depressed and make your biome all out of normal. Maybe you should...

The test was hella loud to me. It made me cringe every time it made a beep. I didn't have any hearing damage but be careful.

Nope. This is to check and see how much fluid is behind the eardrum. The ear piece seals the ear off and blows pressure at the eardrum. If the eardrum vibrates then it's not a lot of fluid in it. If the eardrum does not vibrate then there is some fluid. Just a test to do process of elimination.

I heard of women having T after giving birth. That could be the possible reason. All the colds could be the culprit. The stress can be too. You should try counseling to ease the stress a little. Not because you need help with your anxiety, but just to have someone to talk to. It's hard raising...

Yes, every sound was painful. The sound of running water made my ears whistle and hurt. The sound of my teacher's voice hurts. The worst sound ever was the sound of bad brakes trying to stop. My T always raged but it settled down after the noise stopped. However this was temporarily and went...
