Hello Beep Boop Bop, In the immediate aftermath of the Acoustic Trauma I tried to plug my ears when I was around loud noises. My brother practiced (and still practices to this day) drumming, usually for 2-4 hours per day. At first, I thought that using earplugs to prevent further damage and...

Occasionally, I would get a spike in tinnitus every twenty four to seventy two hours. The spikes were the worst, they sent me into a rushed, panicked state of mind. At first, they lasted roughly thirty seconds each. Now it has been reduced to the two to four second hiss that I mentioned in the...

Hello Rb86, I maintained the white noise machines on all the time when I slept in my bedroom i.e. if I slept for 8.5 hours of the night I would use 8.5 hours of white noise. I also used various items around my house to keep the sound at bay, ranging from the microwave fan in the kitchen, to...

Hi Sentinel, I saw two audiologists, the first one being out of an ENT office in Franklin Massachusetts and the second one being out of a hearing and tinnitus clinic based in Mansfield, MA. The first performed a hearing loss test and the second did not. When the first doctor performed my...

I am feeling grateful and blessed now that my Tinnitus is all gone. Anybody who want to learn more should read my thread in Success Stories.

This... story... sounds... like... clickbait... BUT IT’S NOT!!! It’s a hundred percent real and it starts on a crisp cold day in the fall of 2019. It was my first day attending a dormitory at a real, public overnight college in the United States. I moved into my dormitory and had expectations...

I am currently past the quiet room with open window stage. That just leaves the room with a closed window stage. I am both pleased+baffled

Howdy folks (American Accent), I'm your little Yankee friend from South-Eastern Massachusetts dropping by. Admittedly, this one has nothing to do with tinnitus or hyperacusis, but I've been thinking about it lately considering I've run into so many UK users on the message board. Just...

From now on, I will be using Norway Girl's method to get rid of the last 5%. If It works, I will come back to the forum with the good news.

T is 95% gone and I will have a success story up and running in the next 4-6 weeks.

Hi Mister Muso, Thanks so much for answering my question. Your answer was informative and helpful. If it wouldn't trouble you too much, may I ask you another? I want to know about the slash between your tinnitus information in your about section. It says 2007/ April of 2019. Does this mean that...

I am so so sorry Orions, if it makes you feel any better, music got me into this awful hell too. At least you are brave enough to share your experience.

Hey folks, I’m new on the forum and I have very mild tinnitus (noise induced) with no hyperacusis. I suppose you could call this post an exercise in Empathy. Anyway, I have heard that apparently music sounds painful to listen to if you have hyperacusis. I’ve never had hyperacusis, but I’ve read...

Hi folks, I wrote a letter to myself regarding my quiet, yet stubbornly persistent tinnitus symptoms. I have sent this one to both of my parents. I will be sending it to my psychiatrist, psychologist, and possibly an ENT whom I have had recommended to me as well. I understand my case of...

Do you know of any names of people in your personal life that this has happened to? Sorry if I’m sounding pushy or edgy, I just really want a success story right now.
