By the way, please excuse any typos or sentences that may not make any sense. I typed the whole thing on the bus, on my phone. And, it's 12:18am now. I was half asleep too. So... go easy on the mistakes.

Hello all! It's been a long time since I posted a new thread, and here I am. I feel really good, especially since I'm posting a thread in the 'Success Stories' section! I've never really shared the complete story behind my T, so everything in detail is given below(yeah, it's gonna be long. Don't...

Anybody seen the movie 'V for Vendetta'? It's one of my fav movies and that's where I got to know about guy fawkes(indirectly though). I suggest anybody who hasn't watched it to do so, it's a brilliant movie!

Nice! I like this thread. ;)

Sorry to hear that @AnneG. Are you sure you're hearing it on your left ear, or is it just 'brain' sound? You're not able to hear your T in your right ear at all? Just to confirm everything, verify everything in a completely silent environment. When my T started, it seemed like it was coming from...

Hello @awbw8. What a great introduction! I will definitely read through your blog posts, thank you for sharing your experiences in a detailed manner. :thankyousign:Have a great weekend. ;)

@nana; If you decide to go to a psychologist, do so after you see the doc first. Do you get a good amount of sleep everyday or are you woken up from the sound each day? If it's affecting your sleep a lot, you need to goto the Doc first, explain your situation or alternatively, go see the ENT...

@nana; Try white noise. If you have any Apple device, download an app called 'Relax Melodies'. It's a free app and has an amazing collection of sound samples of various types of sound. If that doesn't help, go see a doc asap. Get some sleeping pills prescribed if it's affecting you too much...

Yes, don't quit coffee altogether. Keep decreasing at a stable rate. And yes, go see a good doc who'll help you relieve your stress. Stress may not be the only cause for your T, but getting rid of the stress will certainly make you feel better and probably will reduce your T too! Good luck! :)

@nana, try what @Lake Girl suggested above. That might help. Or have your windows open so that you hear some outside noise as well. You can even try having the fan switched on. Works for a few.

Gosh @Lake Girl, that's quite a story. Well, after reading through everything, it's still hard to figure out what exactly might have caused your T. There are lots of reasons why you could have got it. Right now, I've got a few suggestions for you, try following them. Coffee does make T worse...

Have you tried using white noise? Helps a few people, do try it.

It certainly will! I hope so too. Just take care of your health. Get your hearing checked and get the hearing aid if the ENT says so. Many have mentioned that getting a hearing aid helps the T, as it increases hearing and decreases the perception of your T. The spike in your T could be the...

I totally disagree. T definitely varies in volume, type of sound and in so many other things! She's wrong in saying that everyone has it in the same volume, but different people hear it differently. Proof: my own experience. More proof exists, you just gotta go through this forum.

Do you have it in both the ears or just one? You can go through this forum for a tremendous amount of good information regarding tinnitus. You can even ask around people with similar conditions like yours for better information regarding your T.
