    Why Is My Tinnitus Reactive If It Isn't Hyperacusis?

    I'm the same as you. When I lie down (or it used to be like that, I'm currently going through a really bad spike), my tinnitus calms down. As soon as I get up out of bed, boom, the hissing and ringing starts and stays that way for the entire day. What would a physical therapist do?

    Why Do So Many People Hear a Hissing Sound?

    I have really loud hissing at the moment. It's usually never this loud and if my tinnitus is really bad, I don't hear the hissing at all, just a really loud high pitch tone in each ear.

    Tinnitus Spiked and Got Worse After Acupuncture — Is This Normal?

    Hey, yeah my T calmed down after the acupuncture, eventually. I stopped going though to be honest because after a few sessions I found it was affecting me mentally bc my T kept spiking, and I suppose it was doing the opposite of what acupuncture should do - relax you. So I gave it up. I tried...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    OK. I missed that part. Anyway my point was more so for those who don't live in Ireland, it's not a case where it's going to be a lifetime away from releasing internationally. So to give them more hope.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Just because it's manufactured in Ireland doesn't necessarily mean it will be available in Ireland only, first. Many products are manufactured in Ireland and they are not available here. Most recently, a device to help Parkinson's disease; product was manufactured in Ireland, however then...

    Acupuncture for Tinnitus

    Yes, that's what my acupuncturist said too. The high pitch went down eventually. But ultimately, and in hindsight, I don't think acupuncture made any difference to be honest. Only burned a hole in my wallet.

    Q&A: Tinnitus Hub Meets Neuromod (Lenire)

    Yes, I contacted them, they don't provide any info. They just say 'in the future'.

    Q&A: Tinnitus Hub Meets Neuromod (Lenire)

    Man, you are not a nice person. The girl is only sharing her feedback and has said numerous times she doesn't know if it's a solution for all. Yet you come along and provide such a negative response. Also, I think it's absolutely ridiculous you're going on like 'Oh no one's tinnitus is worse...

    Finally Habituated to My Tinnitus, but Now It's Bothering Me Again!

    Yes, I agree with you. When you're feeling low or anxious, T is heightened, meaning you're dealing with multiple issues at that point. And then of course the more you focus on the T the louder it gets. It's better to keep busy, but that's not always possible!

    Tinnitus for 6 Months — Pregnancy Making It Louder?

    Hi, I am glad to hear it has calmed down since. Yes once you have your little baby it will be worth it. I know what it feels like as I already have a little girl. In fact my little girl is a blessing as sometimes when my T is really bad I just look at her and it makes me so happy. Also kids...

    Tinnitus for 6 Months — Pregnancy Making It Louder?

    Hi Anusha, are you still experience really high T in your pregnancy? I too have T. Have it since May 2017. I have a little girl, and she was only 9months when T started. Thankfully in the beginning it wasn't too loud, but it has progressively gotten worse. That said, I have gotten to a stage...

    Finally Habituated to My Tinnitus, but Now It's Bothering Me Again!

    My story is kind of similar, when I first got my T in the very beginning it didn't bother me that much. But over time it's gotten worse. I'm on mirap to help me sleep at night with it.

    Finally Habituated to My Tinnitus, but Now It's Bothering Me Again!

    Well I wouldn't go as far as to say it's H, but maybe a mild form of H. It only lasts for a few hours. The noises that would be sensitive would be people talking loudly or my 2 yr old toddler screaming or shouting. I don't have it when I do not go to the gym. So it's only twice, three times a...

    Finally Habituated to My Tinnitus, but Now It's Bothering Me Again!

    I'm all for that. I would be completely in agreement re. raising awareness and ultimately finding a solution rather than just having to live with this. It really is a terrible condition. I was distraught at first to hear there is no cure. You can have open heart surgery and transplants but you...

    Thanks for your kind words. I see you have T since 2006. Does it still bother you 12 years later?
