Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

Depends on the day. Mine comes more from the head than ears. Had a good sleep last night so today I can tune it out more.
How do you rate yours?

There is no point to placing tinnitus on a 1 to 10 scale, because it can blow through your "10" and you have nothing to reference.
I'd love to have my "10" back years ago when I temped to rate it. This condition is always subjective.

6.3

I don't know how to give Mr. T a number... is AWFUL a number?

@Jammer Yea it's too subjective. I would never rate mine a 10 bc I know there's theoretically no limit to how loud it could become.

@Jammer rubbish.. if you just take a minute and think before firing off your opinion then maybe, just maybe you can imagine 10 always being worst case scenario and 1 being best case... regardless of the individual or if your t changes over the years.

I'd say mine changes day by day like everyone else's. It's a 2-3 while at work and busy and it can get to a 5-8 at home. When I ask my friends who are 10+ years in they report the same. I guess it's all about distraction. You have to stop attaching emotion to the noise. I'm still doing that.

@Guywithapug very precise number lol
