    4 Months In...

    Hi everyone. I took a break from daily activity on the site so I could start to focus on other things besides my T. I realized that today that it's 4 months since my tinnitus started. For some reference, I developed T only in my right ear, most likely from a loud basement party where I was...

    Using a Hairdryer Lowered My Tinnitus Temporarily. Huh?

    I'll be more careful from now on, definitely! And I'll be hopping on OW more frequently soon. I'm pretty absorbed in Legion right now :p

    I've Beaten My Tinnitus

    Does anyone know if it's possible to achieve the same treatment another way? With an app or combination of white noise machines? I don't really have $3k to drop on it unfortunately :/

    Using a Hairdryer Lowered My Tinnitus Temporarily. Huh?

    @gotyoubynuts and @JasonP : Ah ok. Sorry for the newbie post then! Still pretty new to this and latching on to anything that might be a sign of it getting better :/

    More Than Annoyed by Tinnitus

    I'm sorry you're having these issues recently :(. Have you had an MRI, just to rule out anything serious? It might just help to give you some more peace of mind.

    Using a Hairdryer Lowered My Tinnitus Temporarily. Huh?

    Pretty much what it says in the title. I'm coming up on 7 weeks with unilateral noise-induced T in my right ear. It's mostly a high pitched ringing, that occasionally changes to a hissing or old CRT TV sound after I wake up in the morning. Something I noticed today was that after using a...

    July 10 — Tinnitus Came Back / As of September 3, Tinnitus Again Almost 90% Gone

    Ginkgold is the same as Tebonin, it's just made in the US. Plus it's a lot cheaper. I want to try it out myself, but I need to speak to a pharmacist first to see if it would have any bad interactions with my Effexor.

    July 10 — Tinnitus Came Back / As of September 3, Tinnitus Again Almost 90% Gone

    That's awesome! So happy that you're recovering again!! I've been thinking about buying Ginkgold (the American version of Tebonin. It has all the same ingredients as the German one). I'm a little concerned about the interaction it may have with my SNRI. I've been taking Effexor XR for Anxiety &...

    Sweet! Tinnitus Has Gradually Eased Off

    Congratulations! Do you remember how long you've had it/what the cause was? I'm at 6 weeks today with noise-induced in my right ear only, and hoping for it to go.

    Tinnitus Is Getting Quieter in the Morning

    @Vinnitus So weird, I was literally JUST reading your success story, as I was looking for people with noise induced T & H. It's good to know that I shouldn't abandon hope yet. Is it normal with noise-induced T to have the clicking & pressure feelings when you swallow? I always thought that was...

    Tinnitus Spike After It Seemed to Be Getting Better

    @erik Good to know, thank you. It's a little disappointing, since it was a lot quieter this morning, I was hoping it might have been going away.

    Tinnitus Spike After It Seemed to Be Getting Better

    Hi again everyone. I'm a few days past the 1 month mark of what I assume is noise-induced T and H. This morning, I woke up and realized that my T had decreased substantially. I could still hear it in a quiet room, but being outside just walking my dog almost completely masked it. It stayed...

    Tinnitus Is Getting Quieter in the Morning

    Hi everyone. It's been a month now since I developed (what I assume) is noise-induced T in my right ear, along with some Hyperacusis and slight distorted hearing in small rooms. (I know, it sounds weird). Anyway, I've just been trying to ignore it and hope that it goes away. I can usually get...

    1 Month with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    @heartohelp Thank you so much for this. It's incredible advice, and very sobering to see my same thought processes being shared by someone else.
