    Hi! Sorry haven't been on this site for a long time. I can still hear it everywhere, the noise itself has not reduced. However I honestly don't pay any attention towards it anymore. I can proudly say that I'm fully habituated. I barely notice it anymore, unless I actively think about it, then it...

    4 Months In and Part Way There

    You are doing well. Honestly I recognise myself in what you're saying. Mine is always audible, but not super loud. Its just annoying and once I start thinking about it I can't get it out of my head and it tops every other sound (except masking noises). I haven't been on this website for a long...

    Success Is a Matter of Perception

    I recognize alot of my own story in yours and I'm pretty sure we are in almost the same spot. I also have tinnitus that I (used to) hear all the time, every day over everything. It's still the exact same volume but I just don't notice it like I used to, because I chose to make the most of my...

    Make the most of what you get, because it's all you'll ever get. The chances of us being born were so extremely small. We're the lucky ones that get to have this one time experience called life.

    I personally think the odds of there being nothing after death and our lives not mattering in the end are very big. If this is the case and we just have this single sprint from birth until death then why let something as meaningless as tinnitus ruin it for us?

    My Positive Story and Insights to Habituation

    That issue probably lies mostly with the mental problems and not the tinnitus, which is none of my business to ask about, so I wont. But if its anything fixable then your focus should be with those problems, tinnitus after.

    My Positive Story and Insights to Habituation

    I might not be the person you've asked this question to but I still wanna give my thoughts on it. First of all, you're lucky to have a 4 or 5 out of 10. Its alot easier to habituate to then the ones some people on this website have to endure. (Obviously this doesn't take away from the...

    Sky Diving and Tinnitus — Is It Safe?

    I'm going skydiving for my next birthday. I've always wanted to do it as well and I'm not gonna let tinnitus stop me. I'll use earplugs for the noise, which will without a doubt make sure I don't get more hearing damage. Any other things that could go wrong aren't even worth my time to worry...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    I'm a pretty regular MDMA user. It has no effect on my (noise-induced) tinnitus whatsoever. Only during your "trip" tinnitus won't bother you at all, even if its still there. This is because of the high levels of serotonin released into your brain. Your emotions will be overtaken by a feeling of...

    Turns out after going to about 20 festivals after getting my tinnitus from loud noise exposure, my hearing actually increased. LOL.

    A Year Later...

    Sorry haven't been on here for a while. For me severe is when you can hear it over everything. Even in loud traffic I can hear mine if I think about it. So I would categorize mine as severe actually. VERY severe would be when it's also unmaskable, which for me is luckily not the case. High...

    I’m Over It

    I never claimed that he won the game. I just said that he had a victory, just not the one you or he would've preferred. And no I have no idea why I still respond after saying I'd stop the discussion. Nothing better to do right now I guess.
