Natester1986 Jul 31, 2019 Almost a year since tinnitus set in. Has not increased in intensity and there is no hyperacusis.
Natester1986 Dec 17, 2018 Almost 4 months since tinnitus onset and it hasn't worsened at all. Taking it in stride (it doesn't bug me at all).

Natester1986 Nov 8, 2018 My tinnitus spiked to 7 out of 10 during the last few minutes of my shift at work today. The spike was brief, thankfully.

Natester1986 Oct 27, 2018 I wonder how many people have deeply regretted going to an ENT that worsened their tinnitus. FYI I didn't visit and ENT thank goodness.

Natester1986 Oct 21, 2018 This morning in the 5 AM hour, my tinnitus spiked to 7 out of 10. Wasn't fun at all. Thankfully the spike didn't last long.

Natester1986 Oct 20, 2018 I can't tell if my tinnitus is caused by my middle ear or my inner ear. It doesn't seem to be coming from my inner ear.

Natester1986 Oct 19, 2018 Just found out that listening to those really high frequencies that you cannot hear at full volume is damaging to your ears. Whoops!

Natester1986 Oct 19, 2018 I'm not sure how long I've been deaf to anything past 13 khz. I think it must have been since I was a child.

Natester1986 Oct 18, 2018 If my tinnitus was a 9 it would have been DEAFENING. Why did I think my tinnitus was a 9 back in late August? It was actually 6 out of 10.

Natester1986 Oct 11, 2018 My tinnitus was almost nonexistent yesterday. Today it's a solid 5 out of 10.
Natester1986 Oct 3, 2018 I think the culprit of my tinnitus is my middle ear rather than my inner ear.
Natester1986 Oct 1, 2018 The nasty cold that I suffered from did not worsen my tinnitus. It stayed the same. Tinnitus has been really quiet today, though.

Natester1986 Sep 21, 2018 Experienced 20-25 minutes of no tinnitus this morning. Right now it's back to mild tinnitus. The silence doesn't last long, as expected.

Natester1986 Sep 19, 2018 From 12500 hz to 20000 hz I couldn't hear anything. Must be deaf to those frequencies. Or it could be normal. I don't know.

Natester1986 Sep 17, 2018 Part of me wants silence but I know that will never happen. Ah well. The spikes are kind of annoying, though.

Natester1986 Sep 17, 2018 Going to an ENT would likely make my tinnitus much worse (if they do a hearing test such as the VEMP). Not worth the risk.

Natester1986 Sep 16, 2018 If my tinnitus disappears completely, which is doubtful, I would be really surprised.
