  • Hey Kriszti,

    Just wondering if you currently still have the low-frequency hum?
    I'm nearing 3 months of it being here pretty much 24/7, unilaterally (left ear).
    Also dealing with aural fullness and hyperacusis but it's the humming tinnitus that worries me most.
    I pray every day that it will subside.

    Cheers!

    Hey, sorry I haven't been here for a while. The low hum is still on/off for me, comes randomly, goes randomly. When it is on, it is absolute hell.
    After all this time it is still incredibly difficult to live with tinnitus. Still not sure it is worth it.

    How long did the car alarm subside?
    Kriszti
    @dan I don't remember, so probably it was a spike on the shorter side.
    Hello. Just wanting to see if you still have like the air pressure sound when you chew?
    Kriszti
    Hey, no, thankfully I don't. Sounds come and go for me besides the permanent ones.
    Hi Kriszti did u have reactive tinnitus and did it improve? Mine is also centralized/head tinnitus that's high frequency (14-15khz) and I am looking for any sound therapy that will work

    Hello, my baseline improved after around 1,5 year, but unfortunately the reactiveness has not, but loudness hyperacusis also did get better by a lot. I do not have experience with official sound therapies.

    Sorry to hear the reactiveness hasn't. That's been the tormenting factor for me. Are you able to watch movies or listen to music? Mine competes with every single external sound.
    I'm constantly vigilant to the point of paranoia and still got exposed to a car alarm. Spiking, despite the earmuffs, but it's bearable atm.
    Life's just getting shittier unrelated to tinnitus. T is just the cherry on top.

    @Steph1710 doesn't appreciate English guys. She's like an Italian that's had too much pizza. Pizza is fantastic, but Italians have gotten complacent and take it for granted.

    No, Steph is enamoured with all these "stoked" American guys now, with their straight teeth and their optimism.
    All overrated if you ask me.

    Jokes aside. You are certainly NOT a loser @Kriszti. You are one of the kindest, smartest people I've observed on TT.

    I really struggle with finding meaning in my life. That goes beyond tinnitus, but tinnitus just makes everything worse.
    Non-severe T sufferers, would you give up chance of improvement for a guaranteed no-worsening? No spikes ever, no reactivity? Just curious.
    I miss silence, I really do, but more than anything I miss being able to shut the world out with music. Never gonna get used to this.

    Today I came across a book called "Silence and the Brain". There was an online review, and I read an interview with the author, who wrote it after suffering from facial paralysis maybe due to stress and to been exhausted. I am trying to find the book on the library... seems interesting. It's main thesis is that silence heals and is necessary for the well being of the brain.
    F*ing air parade and fireworks. What we need during a pandemic is definitely the "biggest festival ever" for our national holiday...
    Should we maybe have a designated thread for "sub-suicidal venting" (for lack of a better word) or any kind of non-specific T struggles?
    Seeing members once with manageable tinnitus worsening years later is heartbreaking and quite frightening.
    Neighbor got an extremely loud motorbike. Another reason why I'm dreading leaving the house. I can't get used to living in constant fear.
    Low tinnitus day, but my left ear hurts so much. I hope I'm not developing an ear infection. I used earplugs a lot the last couple of days.
    Surprisingly quiet day, seems to correlate with better sleep. Trying to enjoy it as long as it lasts.
    I am particularly frustrated today, but why cant my family avoid slamming the freaking doors?! A "sorry" does not really help me.
    I know that the world cannot revolve around my ears, but I wish my neighbours finally stopped re‐building their house. I could go outside.
    Trying my best to study with the screeching in my head, but it's so hard. I feel doomed and still don't see a chance to be able to graduate.
    Can't cope with the sleep deprivation, the memory loss, the concentration issues all due to this lovely condition.
    The beauty of having more than one tone: if one happens to be better, you can always count on the others acting up.
    I hate that tinnitus made me unable to feel excited about or long for anything. Each day sucks, some less than others.
    No way my left ear is as fine as ENTs claim it to be. It does the weirdest stuff and hurts quite often.
    I would cope much better if I could listen to music through earbuds/headphones without having to worry about worsening.
