    Is Tinnitus Neurological If You Don’t Know How You Got It?

    Yeah, I went to one and everything came back normal. My hearing came back above average for my age, they did some weird test that test the outer hairs in your cochlea and it came back normal, they did a test for hidden hearing loss came back normal. The only thing I can think of is the ear...

    Is Tinnitus Neurological If You Don’t Know How You Got It?

    Ya I’ve tried looking at that. It’s a little complicated. I wasn’t on any meds or take any meds and wasn’t subjected to loud sounds in the days leading up. Just really nervous on why.

    Is Tinnitus Neurological If You Don’t Know How You Got It?

    I don’t know how I got tinnitus, I just woke up March 17th to high hissing sound. From there on out I went weeks with a lot of changes that have genuinely freaked me out. It’s now a high hiss and I hope it stays that way. I guess what freaks me out is, is this a neurological issue...? Or in...

    Visual Snow and Tinnitus

    I developed BFEP when I became aware of my floaters. Which I know are normal (floaters), I’ve had them since high school.

    Visual Snow and Tinnitus

    Oh, I’ve had BFEP for years but it’s never bothered me until I read this thread so really really freaked myself out a lot. I do not want to get VS on top of tinnitus. I can barely handle my tinnitus, ear pain, and constant fullness right now. I just can’t handle anymore weird health issues...
