    New to Tinnitus — Started After a Loud Concert — Been Going on for 5 Days Now

    Honestly, it might be too early to tell the extent of recoverable damage. Keep in mind, everyone is different so if it hasn't been 6 months yet before resigning yourself. Get your shit together NOW and start protecting your ears, eating the right foods (magnesium, b-12, melatonin, etc)...

    Tinnitus Woke Me Up at 3 am

    I don't know if it was my fan, but it's never been loud for me in the mornings. Since I wasn't able to get some sleep, it's really bad now to the point where I can hear it constantly throughout the day. I can increase the loudness if I push my jaw from the sides, but otherwise no matter what I...

    I Officially Have Balance Problems

    But, that means you don't have T then? I'd honestly take dizzyness over T any day. When I was working I was constantly looking at a small screen and would lose balance if I worked consecutively without pause. Perhaps you're doing the same as me and letting your head hunch over too much and...

    Can Anybody Help ASAP? Spike After MRI (1.5 Hours Ago). Can I Take Steroids (Prednisolone)?

    I'm no expert but it sounds like your nerves are shot after that "treatment:. The fact that it's even going down at all is a good sign and that it's imperative you get 8 hours of sleep each day. Make sure to try and sleep on your back as well.

    Tinnitus for 15 Years and Habituated, Screwed Up Big Time

    I'm not an expert on this so take this with a grain of salt. Based on what you said and what I've been researching myself, you've probably tensed up your muscles in the upper region (neck, jaws, face, etc), include the ones that can affect tinnitus to unbelievable amounts over the course of...

    Waking Up with Tinnitus Gone, A Few Hours Later It Comes Back... Anybody Else?

    BEWARE of the ECoG Test! Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    Are you able to get 8 hours of sleep? Can you apply pressure to your jaw area and change the pitch/loudness of the T this way?

    No Longer Convinced My Tinnitus Is Entirely Noise-Induced

    In buildings, even with windows open, I hear mine but when I go outside, it's barely noticeable at times. Maybe your T is triggered by some mental trigger from being in your family home? It might cause some sub-conscious thoughts to reemerge without you even noticing.

    Tinnitus Woke Me Up at 3 am

    I've been getting 8 hours of sleep recently, but for some reason it's just so high pitched and loud right now, I don't know why. It's never been this bad except when I lost my job, the only thing that was different today was some almond ceral I had without milk. It's like a call of duty...

    Week Four of Spike Approaching

    It took a lot of work for me to go to sleep with tinnitus( mine is high pitched as well, similar to the COD flashbang sound that's at the end of it's soundwave, but then amplified), I still have a hard time falling asleep due to it but what really broke the milestone was to work out for 3 hours...

    Probably the Worst Thing That Can Happen!

    Noise may tire out the inner ear, causing temporary hearing loss. Higher pitched noises tire out the ears even more then lower pitched ears, but unless you had your ears next to the speaker for 10 minutes, then it's only temporary. Ears have a certain level of fatigue as well, therefor it's...
