I also have stress induced tinnitus, and mine tends to go away when I'm out with folks enjoying myself. It also seems to fade for months/years after the periods of stress pass.

Michael, I'm a little unsure and admittedly uneasy why you're challenging me on the point about noise. I just came back here as I'm struggling and looking for advice on how to manage a relapse given a pattern of relapses that are not following noise-related events, hoping to find other people...

Thanks Michael. I am unsure of the cause. I have been to multiple ENTs that have run hearing tests which have indicated my hearing is fine, with no dips. I did have two bouts of hyperacusis; first when I got it in 2011, and again when I posted in 2015. Both went away with time. The therapists I...

Hi -- I am having another relapse and could use support. I have posted here in the past, but have been away for years at times. I first got tinnitus in 2011, and habituated (or disappeared?) after about 6 months. The same thing happened in 2017, and again in 2019, each time taking about six...

Just curious if anyone else has this. Now on month 4, and still no signs of stopping. Back in September, I developed a new noise in my right ear; a lower pitched almost beeping like sound that runs 24/7 and is the first "intrusive" noise I've developed since coming down with a bilateral...

Going with no on this one.

Thanks :) I'm scheduled to see someone at New York Otology in late January (barring something miraculous occurring before then; not holding my breath).

If you've found anyone in the NYC area that you'd considered "good" please let me know. I've had awful luck with NY Eye and Ear. Really had no need for a specialist that kept me waiting for four hours to spend 30 seconds looking inside my ears and going "well, looks good to me. so you've got...

Cool, and thanks. I just crossed the three-month mark with this, and it does seem to be getting worse and not better.

Thanks linearb. Did it resolve for you in time? Also notice if humming, same deal -- hear myself what sounds normally in my left ear, but the weird pressure sensation in my right. Really hope there's something to make this stop because I'm going literally crazy. It seems worse today than it's...

Figured I'd post again. I'm really not in a good place. I'm also not totally sure if this is a "fullness" sensation, but maybe it is. Whatever it is has become incredibly worse the past few days. All over the internet, I read of people talking about hearing their own voice like an echo, but...

Is there anything that proves this one way or another? I've slept with earplugs for 10 years (I live in NYC, and can't sleep when there's anything from construction to street noise to the sound of upstairs neighbors stomping around at 2am) and I came down with mild tinnitus four years ago and...

Thanks! I'm not sure, and I see TMJ mentioned on here a lot. I can make the right side of my jaw "click" from time to time (just did, in fact). I don't think I grind my teeth though, but I'm in all honesty, I haven't been the best patient when it's come to dental hygiene, and that's only been...

I posted a few months back that I came down with new tinnitus sounds in my right ear, after habituating / managing what must have been a more mild (and constant) high pitched tinnitus. Those sounds, like intermittent loud zapping, sort of like a dial-up modem connecting to the internet, sadly...

Go. Wear earplugs, but go. Live your life.
