M M MusicTeacher Feb 6, 2024 I'm typically a positive person, but this thing has beaten me. It really can destroy your life.
M M MusicTeacher Sep 30, 2023 Covid happened. Went from white noise in a quiet space to bass tones I hear over everything. Hard to be back here again. Breathe.

M M MusicTeacher Oct 9, 2022 Haven't needed to come here in a while. Summer was good for my ears-just a hiss. Now The crippling bass tones have returned. Breathe

M M MusicTeacher May 21, 2021 Near silence in my right ear for about ten minutes. Didn't last, but really nice. It was actually weird to hear nothing.

M M MusicTeacher May 16, 2021 Life is full of compromises. If I could be rid of my H.... I'd be ok with the T.
M M MusicTeacher Apr 25, 2021 I'm noticing a pattern with my T. 1 month of white noise followed by a month of pitches. It's happened about three times now.

M M MusicTeacher Apr 7, 2021 Another week of white noise (which I really don't mind) as compared to crazy pitches everywhere. Hopefully it lasts this time. H sucks.

M M MusicTeacher Dec 7, 2020 Almost a year in. My T and H still change all the time. I have amazing weeks followed by pretty terrible weeks. I can't make sense of it.

twa Nov 25, 2020 @MusicTeacher, I was following your thread because I too was a teacher and have a kiddo. You mentioned your child yelled in your ear. That is also what happened to me. My 7 year yelled in my ear during homeschool (remote learning) one day. :-(

M M MusicTeacher Sep 16, 2020 BAD Head cold and my tinnitus is doing crazy things. Maybe from blowing my nose so much? Everything feels clogged and loud. Normal?

M M MusicTeacher Aug 1, 2020 Tonight-T lowered to the point I had to listen for it. I felt normal. It was strange. My H was killing me all day. A little gift at the end

M M MusicTeacher Jul 29, 2020 Not sure why my T changes so much. New head sounds sneaking up on me in very quiet places. Guess I'll try my- eat nothing tasty diet. Lol

M M MusicTeacher Jul 23, 2020 I hate spikes.T and H have jumped -no obvious reason. Progress has been good lately, but it feels like a huge leap backwards. Stay positive

M M MusicTeacher Jun 30, 2020 I no longer hate myself. I can even feel bits of normalcy from time to time. I DO hate: dishes, silverware, children screaming and eeeeeeeee

M M MusicTeacher Jun 12, 2020 6 months today. What I've learned:meditation, exercise, clean diet, and moving on with life are all key pieces to recovery- at least for me.

M M MusicTeacher May 18, 2020 Had a couple good days. Tinnitus didn't rule my existence. It almost seemed lower. Today was super stressful and my T is as loud as ever.

M M MusicTeacher May 10, 2020 Ok. Trying the gluten free diet. Nothing to lose except a few extra pounds and maybe some T decibels. H is getting much better. T Hates me.

M M MusicTeacher May 2, 2020 Low drone is back in my left ear. Was really trying to be positive yesterday. There is no mercy.
M M MusicTeacher Apr 25, 2020 Anyone's H spike with allergies? I always get them this time of year. Wondering if it might be contributing to my H spike.
