Hey everyone, I got tinnitus a year and a half ago. I'm habituated now, and I've been to loud events, concerts, movies, clubs, etc. With protection and haven't noticed spikes or any change in the volume of my tinnitus. Nevertheless I've stayed away from headphone use because of things that...

Yup. I think it got softer and softer. Mine wasn't that loud, you know? I still could only hear it in silence but now it's different. I don't know how to explain it? Basically it was a tone before that faded and now i'm stuck with a white noise around my ears so it's not that noticeable and it's...

I just notice it when I lay my head on my pillow. If it's very quiet I just hear like a white noise around my ears but nothing else. I think it reduced over time... At first it felt like it was a laser light going through my head. I'm not sure if it reduced over time or that at first I was just...

Hey everyone, it's been too long! I thought I'd come back to write my success story because for me these kind of things were very important at the beginning of this thing, so I took a break from my thesis (that I have to hand in at the end of the month if I want to get out of university...

Hey everyone, is not my success story sadly, but a girl I know told me her story so I had to come and write it here! Three or four years ago her tinnitus came on suddenly one night while she was studying at university. She was under a lot of stress at the time with the classes and her...

I am so glad to hear from you! In my freak-out phase I was constantly checking your profile, see how you were doing. You give me a glimpse of hope in things.

How long does it take for it to go away?

Thank you @Frizz I remember your posts from three months ago, just when mine started. I hope you're in a good place mentally, and your problems are getting better with time. I was quite scared of ruining my progress, but I'm glad I didn't get a spike. The tone has settled down to a really low...

Hi everyone I was doing so much better! Last week my CBT therapist told me to try and avoid thinking about tinnitus, and I did... I couldn't hear the tone at all, and the buzzing was there but almost unnoticeable. Yesterday I went to a bar with loud music (I had done this before with zero...

Hi, I was reading your story. I deal with jaw pain and since then my ears feel clogged and I can hear my eustachian tubes opening like a popcorn, the same way you said on one of your posts. I am wearing a mouth guard that has helped with the feeling of fullness but I'd like to ask if it went...

Even the tinnitus has lowered in volume and the tone even disappears for a few days (it was the case last week)

Hi I've had cracking when swallowing and fullness in my ears for two months now. It started for me one month into tinnitus and it coupled with bad jaw pain (so bad that eating, smiling and talking hurt). Since I got a mouth guard three weeks ago the fullness has been better and even sometimes...

Hi everyone, I guess I have some good news. The tone I had... it's not there. It hasn't been there for about a week or so! It has faded and i am left with a buzzing and a static and they're interchangeable. Sometimes it's the static and sometimes it's the buzzing, but it doesn't bother me...

Hi, @dm222 I was planning to write a two months in story but I didn't find the time or the energy to come to this forum –I have been avoiding it for obvious reasons. I think I wasn't honest with myself on the first post: I was saying I couldn't hear it before when I did, but I do notice a...

I'm glad you're doing better! After all this time have you noticed a reduction on the sound or is it the same?
