    A Year Later, I Don't Know What My Tinnitus Baseline Is

    Oh, that’s good to know! What are your triggers, and what are you doing to avoid them? In my case, I’m currently wondering if I might have chronic sinusitis. I have a lot of breathing issues, and my TMJ specialist told me he could tell from my posture that I mouth breathe. I also suspect I...

    Right Ear Spontaneously Became Numb & Tinnitus Got SUPER Loud!

    I get similar sensations all the time when I am lying in bed. Usually, I can feel my tinnitus cutting in and out before it happens, so I have a chance to get up. But if I do not, I get the piercing tinnitus, which can last from 10 seconds to a few days. The longest it lasted for me was two days...

    @Scruffiey thank you very much for the advice. Today I spent most of my day without my ear muffs. The cotton lets just enough sound so I can habituate to everyday noises without too much stress and pain

    We also had mold issues in our bedrooms, and the two times it happened, my tinnitus lessened a lot after clearing the mold.

    Since last November, I've been having more and longer periods where my T is predominantly a hiss. Although it's also reactive, the intensity of neck and jaw pain I have is directly related to the loudness and nature of my T.

    A Year Later, I Don't Know What My Tinnitus Baseline Is

    Update: I think I have a slight idea of what my baseline is, but the issue is that I cannot figure out how to stay at baseline. As I have mentioned, my tinnitus is extremely reactive and somatosensory. The problem is that I am a very tense person. Even the slightest stress causes all my...

    A car alarm also went off during my sleep, and my tinnitus has mimicked that for a few days now.

    I cannot WAIT to move out. Got woken up by someone vacuuming for the second time in the week. When it's not vacuums, it's alarms. I rarely have a full night of sleep; it's insane.

    @Scruffiey probably just stress as I do not have (visible) hearing loss! I always thought my tmj damaged my nerve, but the tightening hypothesis makes much more sense

    I get a tingling sensation from my cheekbone to above my lips when i'm exposed to too much sound. It's not painful but it's annoying. I used to get that when i was very stressed or when my tmj is very bad. Does anyone else have that?

    Well, i don't think i'll be able to get out of my protections in my house. Constant vacuum and power tool noises today. Yesterday got blasted with a high pitch pure tone coming out of nowhere. Looking to move out
