I have the same thing going on, changes daily, up and down, different tones, single tones, white noise type tones, volume changes many times a day, sometimes another tone in the middle. But no matter what it is I never have a problem sleeping, that's a good thing. I'm trying to figure out...

I have one Miracle Ear Genius 3.0 for the right ear. This one runs about $3300. They are also able to program masking sounds into the hearing aid, like waves, white noise etc, but I'm not using that, the external environmental sounds are enough. Also now I have another good morning, I still...

I received my hearing aid a couple of days ago, and I have had the two quietest days in the last 10 years. My tinnitus has not left me, but the sound of the outside world is totally masking the 8 kHz tone. When I'm at home TV, central air fan is covering it up. When I'm outside on the road it's...

Thanks. It's been a tough few months with my new levels of tinnitus. Yep, I hope things continue to improve. I'm hoping a hearing aid that is coming soon will help even more. It seems the more you're ok with it, the more you can forget it, and when you forget it, you can't seem to hear it...

I guess a good thing about getting these tinnitus spikes is that then the lower volumes of tinnitus are easier to deal with. About a week ago, right before I went to bed I had a major spike most of the night. If I was to use a level of 1 to 10, I would call it a 12. So now anything 8 and...

Same question. Why do you use earplugs when sleeping? How does that help?

That's true, every time I come here to read my tinnitus spikes a bit.

I have had hearing loss for many years in my right ear. Just recently decided to do something about it, because my tinnitus decided to take a turn for the worse.

I went into Miracle-Ear on Wednesday, took my second hearing test in the last month, order a hearing aid, and should be ready the first week of July. Can't wait, hope it helps my tinnitus.

Ok, so I ordered a hearing aid, I spent like 2.5 hours at the Miracle-Ear store doing a hearing test, talking about my tinnitus, had a sample hearing aide tuned in, in my ear for about an hour of that time. During the time I had the hearing aid in I couldn't find my tinnitus. Usually when I...

I listen to music every night with one earbud headphone in my good ear to help me sleep, played at low volume to distract the constant tone in my bad ear that I can't hear out of. The music has not made my tinnitus worse.

You're right, I feel no guilt, even though I may have gotten my T from many yeas of logging with out ear protection, loud music, but not for sure. I have always had problems with that ear since I was a child. Low level hearing in that ear since I was young. But no matter what, I feel no guilt...

When I think about it, I'm not sure whats going on with me. I did so good for many years, like 10 years, but for last few months, I think the volume of my tinnitus has increased, but I could be wrong. It could be I just think about it more. I think about it daily now, and thinking about it is...

Hang in there man, is all I can say.

I would say I have had mild tinnitus, for about 10 years, I would say in the 4 range easy to handle. I have had a spike in the last 5 months or so. I'm running in the 7-8 range now. Like its all new to me again, hoping it won't get worse. Some days I would need a vacuum cleaner to cover it
