I bring this up every now and then, to see if there are others who suffer from tinnitus and can feel the buzzing. I can feel the buzzing in my left ear. It initially started out as a chirping sound, randomly. I have no idea what causes the timing and when it would chirp but I have counted...

In order to get a proper diagnosis, you need to almost have a constant full blown HFS attack. Otherwise they will not take you seriously. Then you need to have a Neurosurgeon who specializes in identifying the nerve pinching too find it. Neurologists in general are not typically well trained to...

Since I developed tinnitus back in 2016 I noticed a chirping / zapping sound that I can actually feel. Like a small burst of energy going off in my inner ear. I think I know what's causing mine. I am slowly developing HFS (hemifacial spasms) the left side of my face is where my spasms occur and...

How many truckers (CDL) out there have tinnitus? I'm also curious if you wear hearing protection even though it's considered "against the law". I know some states allow you to wear 1 earplug in 1 ear. I have seen (very few) admit to wearing hearing protection (on other forums) the whole time...

Does anyone feel their tinnitus? I have two kinds that I feel a sensation with. 1: One of them is this zapping sound like something being electrically shocked and I feel this shock-wave for a fraction of a second when this happens. Not sure what causes it and it doesn't happen often. 2: The...

For some reason I have experienced the same thing. I was taking melatonin and a certain piercing tone would disappear, in the morning sometimes for up to half a day if not all day.

If you are shooting firearms you should consider doubling up on ear protection (plugs and muffs). I still shoot but I use silencers (I live in a state that lets me own silencers) and i stay away from high caliber ammunition. The damage we do to ours ears is accumulative and can worsen if you do...

I stopped using headphones all together. The more I started thinking about it, I realized it's a very unnatural way for your ears to listen to sounds. Especially since many head phones on the market are noise canceling.

I've was using the lucky laser quite a bit. I notcied some changes, my tinnitus became very thin in my left ear in the mornings, then I stopped using it and the normal piercing T came back. I think the LLLT has an effect on me but only on my left ear (both ears have different tones/frequencies)...

In my job I might have to use chainsaws but most of the time I use a crosscut saw. Today it was super windy and I started thinking is the wind too loud? T is making me paranoid. My advice would be to double up on ear pro also get a helmet equipt with earmuffs. Keep on keep in on...

I was reading around and found some other sites/forums and it seems to be the consensus that Tinnitus always originates from the brain. Has this been scientifically proven and does it have supporting evidence? If someone goes to a concert and ends up suffering from T for like, a month or 2 and...

For the Lucky Laser what are the prefered power setting used? You have two options for both wavelengths 808 nm (W)? (Hz)? 650 nm (mW)? (Hz)?

Head phones, rock concerts, guns are good ways to destroy both your ears. I have T in both ears and I don't feel as if it's in my head at all. My T is literally in my ears and sometimes I can feel/hear this short circut sound inside my left ear.

After I'm done using it, I'm almost guaranteed to have a spike in volume (buzzing) for the rest of the day. Since I have stopped, my T hasn't been spiking. I'm going to start again today.

I will use it 2-3 times a week. sometimes I will use it 10 min straight each ear or I will do 5 min each ear for 15 min total. I hold the flash light with my hand as I'm checking my emails or something. I have never heard changes like this in my T prior to using the flashlight especially that...
