how are you getting more tones?
Apolonia
Ask my brain... Dunno what is happening...for a while IT was a hiss and IT seemed Like. IT was going away... But then Came the crickets...and waves and so on... Could be from the exposure to everyday Sounds... Maybe I am not aware of that.. I Will wear earplugs more often now

i would take the hiss or beep than the high pitch dentist drill, god Apolonia its so loud it makes my eye hurt, like my head starts hurting how loud it is. I got it on Feb 21 after the fire alarm came on in my room when watching Netflix, before that i had moderate tinnitus.

Hate this a lot... Stupid hearing.. and stupid earbuds that doomed me to a living hell

When initially i got tinnitus, it was loud for a week then it went down to mild, it remained mild up until January 17 when it came up to moderate, before it was so easily maskable, last night my sound machine was full blast, i was woken up this morning by the high pitched tinnitus
Apolonia
I think I have that as well... Omg.. our ears are so sensitive..the next acoustic trauma and my hearing Will be completely damaged

i quit my job and dont leave my room anymore, yes it is that bad, when i had mild t i went outside without earplugs, ,went to the supermarket, bar, etc after doing an ear test (Caloric Test) on Jan 15. I developed Hyperacusis on both ears and moderate tinnitus only to get even worse when i exposed myself to loud sounds it went from moderate T to severe T. Hyperacusis is bad.

Mine was different.. IT was not loud... IT was only in one ear.. and then I had another acoustic trauma and I think that made things worse... I think I could have healed without the second trauma :/ and this was all BC doctors told me I was fine and nothing was going on... So I went our again and had another acoustic trauma.... And now the next trauma will probably make me deaf :D

my ears are messed up, i made amends with that. I live like a disabled person. One of my friends even asked me if i can go on disability. This is so sad, just last year i was back home in Croatia and had a time of my life, now i am here in this room crying and wondering how worse can it get
Apolonia
I am really sorry for what happened... Listen, hyperacusis Will go away.. be patient ...it takes a lot of time ... Take biloba or Betaserc.. protect your ears.. IT Will pay off.. tinnitus Will not go away. You hearing Will not restore on its own.. so take hearing aids...talk to an audiologist about that...

How loud are the crickets?
Apolonia
Only when in silence. I am now in a silent room and they are there along with high pitched piii and shshshs in the background... They are Just not going away... I am wondering what are my ears doing when this sound is produced o_O
Apolonia
I hate my life so much right now... I really do... My music career is ruined... I can't perform with these ears.. IT is impossible...what an idiot...
dpdx
I hate saying this but i dont see how somewone can have music career with this. Do you sing?
Apolonia
Not right now... Just can't.. i Did a little but my ears Just can't stand my big voice... I'll rest now for a year... And then I Will see what to do... But, I am so desperate.... Can't take back the damage
Apolonia
My head Sounds like a summer night...

lets trade, would rather have crickets than a high pitched drill which cuts through everything.
Apolonia
I think things Will get better if you get a proper hearing aid
Apolonia
When you have money also try a stem cell treatment ..
