I just don't know how much longer I can take.

My ears are plugged up. I don't know why. The noise is in my head and it's loud. It sounds like a bad windy day or a semi truck driving through a tunnel. Whooshing sound? I can't even explain it. Does anyone know what that is? It's worse than my regular tinnitus. I feel hopeless.

@OnceUponaTime I'm not taking anything for my anxiety. I might need to though.

I had a panic attack a week ago and I still have a spike in my tinnitus. How long does it take for ears to heal after having a panic attack?

It's weird because the last spike I had was May 25th. That's exactly 3 months. So I'm hoping these spikes will keep fading away.

For the past month it seemed like my T was so low that I had to listen for it. It was reactive to loud noise but I could handle it. But for some reason today it is blaring, it's a 11 out of 10. I don't understand. Is it because of the caffeine I had 12 hours before?

@strato2009 Today I had sugar free oatmeal for breakfast. Then lunch had a greek salad. Then for dinner I had hard boiled eggs with some tomatoes and cucumbers. My T is not as loud as yesterday. I think if I stay away from sugar and salt T might go from 8/10 to 2/10. I don't know if it'll ever...

@GregCA Thanks! :-)

The last 2 weeks were probably the best 2 weeks since 6 months of getting T. It was lower than ever. Now it's loud again. I'm thinking maybe it's diet? I've been eating lots of foods with sugar and salt.

Just wanted to give you guys an update. I'm mostly on the computer than on the phone. So it worked out perfectly.

@Ree Thank you!

@Jamie m Thank you ☺

On Tuesday I'll be working as a receptionist in a doctor's office. My tinnitus gets worse at night and I'll be working days. I only have tinnitus in my left ear so I always talk on the phone with my right. Is anyone a receptionist? Do u guys think I'll be ok? I'm having anxiety because I think...

I'm 5'3 and 230 lbs. It's the heaviest I've ever been. My eating habits are terrible. I eat a lot of sweet and salty foods. I'm addicted to food because it makes me feel good but I think my health will be affected. Can obesity also cause tinnitus?
