    Hearing a 'Rringgg' When Playing the Piano → Reactive Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

    Hi there, I've been having tinnitus for 5 years now. I completely habituated to it and actually don't 'suffer' from it anymore, only when having a lot of stress. Today something weird happened, in my opinion. I play the piano, and during the last 5 years I never had any problems with my...

    Anyone Has Tinnitus and Pudendal Neuralgia?

    Hi there, I had pudendal neuralgia in 2020 for 8 months or so. In my case it turned out to be trauma and stress related. I'm not a native English speaker, so telling you all about everything I've done to get rid of the pudendal neuralgia will be a little difficult for me. Instead, I'd like...

    Ongoing Tinnitus Spike After Months of Habituation — A Result of a Burn Out and Continued Stress?

    Thanks everyone for responding. I really appreciate it. I do have some better days though, but at the moment it's LOUD again. Blegh. I hope the fluctuations mean that my spike is slowly, gradually, going down, or that I'm habituating to this new volume. I did a hearing test to see if my...

    Ongoing Tinnitus Spike After Months of Habituation — A Result of a Burn Out and Continued Stress?

    Hi everyone, I actually haven't been here for a while. I was doing quite good. My tinnitus started 2.5 years ago. After 1.5 years or so I habituated, and since February/March of this year I wasn't bothered by my tinnitus at all. It was like I didn't have tinnitus anymore, although it was still...

    New Buzzing Sound Out of Nowhere

    Thanks for your replies guys. If anyone’s experiencing something similar, I would like to share with you that the buzzing stopped. Yesterday I went to my fysiotherapist who is treating my jaw (i have TMJ). He did some stretching and gave me exercises, and within 2 hours after the consult, the...

    New Buzzing Sound Out of Nowhere

    Hello, I have had tinnitus for 1 year and 8 months now. My tinnitus sounds like a high pitched beeeep, and I am almost habituated. It doesn’t bother me that much, except when I’m having a spike, but that doesn’t happen very often. So, my life is pretty good with tinnitus. But yesterday I...

    New Tinnitus — I Need Hope — Everything Started on a Flight During Landing

    Mine started after a flight as well. Mine did not disappear, but it got a lot better. It went from severe to mild and I can live a happy life with it now. I have tinnitus since June 2018. You have to give it time and you need patience. It takes a while before the ears heal. Try not to panic too...

    Is It Safe to Fly with Chronic ETD (Eustachian Tube Dysfunction)?

    Hello, My tinnitus started 1 year and 3 months ago after I took a flight while having a cold and fever. There was no option for me to not take the flight. I was experiencing a lot of pain during the descent. Before tinnitus I used to have a lot of pain as well so this was nothing new to me...

    Hi everyone, Happy new year! I just read something about EMDR proven to be effective for tinnitus distress. Not sure if someone else already posted something about it, but I couldn’t find it, so I thought this thread might be helpful and useful to some of you. Recent Dutch research shows that...

    Two Tones Down to One

    That’s good news! I do believe that if T, or one of the tones, can go away for a certain amount of time, that that should be a good sign. Especially after such a short time since onset. I’m almost 5 months in and the first months I had 4 or 5 different tones. Sometimes all tones at the same...
