Hi, Quick background: Have had tinnitus for 6+ months (no known cause) It fluctuates (I have silent days and noisy days, some days its a hiss and some days its a chirp, some days its loud and some days its soft) I've tried almost everything (diet, herbs, physical therapy, and neurology docs) I...

Over the past month I have been seeing a chiropractor and physical therapist for my T. VAST improvement in the loudness and some days I get silence. I've noticed something strange and I don't fully understand what is happening. When I lie down my T gets slightly louder and as part of my...

This is how I think my T began. It has been 5 months and it is just now improving. I had fluid in my ears for 3 weeks in January and it took an additional 8 weeks for the fullness feeling to go away. Few months later I still have the T but it is vastly improving. I am hoping it goes away...

I have noticed the past few days that my T is less in the morning and builds throughout the day. It seems to increase as I hear more sounds (by the end of my commute). Is this my T trying to compensate? Will wearing ear plugs when I wake up help me to lessen the build up of the sound of my T...

Thank you so much for the support and for this forum. :)

Taking it day-by-day

I just joined this forum, which I am super grateful it exists. I have had Tinnitus for a few months now and I am wondering if it related to issues in my upper back. I have Tinnitus in my left ear and my upper right back/neck has been hurting for about the length of time of the Tinnitus. What...

Hi. My name is Miranda. I have Tinnitus. I do not know what caused it or if it will go away. I am at the phase of trying everything under the sun to fix or reduce it. It is only in my left ear, as far as I can tell. It is a high pitch sound that depending on the day will be loud or faint. Faint...
