    How and Why Did You Choose Your Username?

    Yeah, I accidentally burnt some oil. I half forgot that the stove was turned on I'm not adult enough to adult :ROFL: Luckily the spike has calmed down today. I'm so relieved that no permanent damage was done.

    Set My Fire Alarm Off, Damnit — The Incident Has Spiked My Tinnitus

    I accidentally set my fire alarm of while I was making dinner (don't know what that says about my cooking skills, hah.) Unfortunately the incident has spiked my tinnitus.

    I Can Sit without Masking — So Happy

    Since my tinnitus spiked in August 2017 I haven't been able to do anything without masking my tinnitus. It would get on my nerves, trigger me and make me angry or sad. But my spike has gradually faded and I have gotten used to the fact that I can now hear my tinnitus more than I could before...

    No Longer Convinced My Tinnitus Is Entirely Noise-Induced

    So. I have always just assumed that my tinnitus is noise induced due to the fact that I have been stupid enough to go to a lot of hard rock concerts without earplugs. My tinnitus didn't appear after a concert though but appeared suddenly from a fleeting tinnitus experience that didn't go away...

    Tinnitus Going Away! B12 Was Deficient

    Oh this is nice to know. I started taking vitamin B not long ago because I have started eating mostly vegetarian. And I was afraid that my vitamin B levels would get too low, though my doctor told me anything but my vitamin D levels looked perfectly fine last time I got a blood test done. But I...

    I Don't Believe 20% of People Have Tinnitus

    The stats I have read says between 15 - 20% but that only 3% of those are bothered by their T in such a way that it damages their quality of life. So I suppose the reason why the stats seems to high is that it is only a small amount of People with T who is actually bothered or harmed by it :)

    Tinnitus Always Constant Throughout My Life, Now It's Unbelievably Loud

    Same thing happened to me last year. I never really figured out what caused it but my guess is that it was tense neck - and jaw muscles from being stressed out. And probably also being too careless around noise. But it has gotten way better now that my neck - and jaw muscles aren't that tense...

    Tinnitus' Weird Ways

    So. I got another spike in my tinnitus the other day and I really don't know what caused it. I wasn't near any loud noises at the time. It was just one of those fleeting tinnitus experiences that never really faded entirely. It was the same way my tinnitus started. I haven't got a clue to what...

    Floaters

    I think I have had them my entire life without really knowing there was a name for them. I kinda assumed it was a normal thing I guess. Anyhow they never really bother me anyway. I never really notice them :D

    How Do You Cope with Tinnitus?

    Mostly I just try to get on with my life the best that I can and do stuff that makes me happy. Seeing my friends, competing and attending poetry slam competition, spending time with my family and so on. I know it's damn hard but in the end that's what got me back on track again because I had...

    Poll: Was Your Tinnitus Onset Sudden or Gradual?

    My T is a "fleeting T" that just never went away. I still haven't figured out why it decided to stay at that particular day, as I have had experiences of fleeting T my entire life. But I suppose it's some kind of gradual noise damage that caught up with me in the end.
