It's been 5 years. My tinnitus might have been increasing the last two years, although I can't tell, It's just how I feel. The frequency, however, has remained steady the last two years. And that's a big plus because it allows me to ignore the noise.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, but robots have no problems hitting bullseyes while blindfolded. They'll hit the target each and every time.

Thanks, I'm flying tomorrow. I'll bring my Peltors.

Acoustic trauma. I fell asleep with my headphones on and while sleeping I pressed the volume button up to the max, which didn't wake me up as I don't have the genes to register sound while asleep. Nothing. I'm lucky to not have my ears damaged too much. The only things I've tried to do was -...

I'm pretty tired, so I'm keeping it short. It's been 8 weeks. I've been able to get back to work again after 5 weeks. I can still hear it, but it's no more than a whisper. The worst day was after 2 weeks when it suddenly went downhill again. I tried listening to white noise on YouTube and...

Since I live in a metropolitan area, I'm now living in a tent in a large garden. I can't use the computer or phone for too long.

My appointment with my ENT is in Octobre. No idea why they think it's necessary to wait that long. Hyperacusis from tv, phone, computer, alarm clock? Are my ears even equipped to detect such frequencies? It's not that they make loud noises. All I have to do is turn it on and voila, the spije...

@Michael Leigh Can't you find out what a Raymaster is? It's in the Science report article you posted. I tested various things. Here are my results: It's not the fan that spikes my T but EMR. Aluminum does not protect. What triggers spikes for me: phone computer tv satellite computer in car...

Did away with the fan. I get the feeling even without the fan I get a spike, but not sure. @Michael Leigh What is a RayMaster? And if EMR spikes T, then does Aluminum foil protect us from T? I'm already wearing an alu-hat right now just in case. I'm not even kidding.

I have problems of my tinnitus getting louder at the pc I'm typing at right now. I have an almost silent PC, still do, but its bit louder because the power supply fan broke down and this one's louder. I'm thinking of using my other mini-PC that's completely silent but a lot less powerful. It's...

@Michael Leigh How do you know it's not fan noise?

I went in calling sick today, again, because one day of work was enough to make my tinnitus worse and I don't like taking chances. I don't know what noises cause it. I work in IT, so was it the background music, despite being soft? Loud crowd talking during lunch? Driving my car? Fan noise from...

I ended up with louder T from just being at work :(. I guess soft music, computer fans and car noise was enough. Used Audispray and it immediately went down a notch or two. I really don't understand it, but I'm staying home again.

First day of work. Music is playing softly, but despite that it definitely contributes to spiking. I don't want to spoil their fun.

The last few days it's just been mild. I'm doing more things and so I get more spikes. Hearing someone talk or watching tv at normal volume is enough to get one. I'm thinking of going to work tomorrow and see how that goes.
