@another sean - I'm sorry to hear all of that. You just seemed to have the worst of luck with your onset of T. I'm not sure if your experience is really related to digital noise but I suppose everything is possible. I can still listen to music reasonably well although I seem to develope some...

Dear Geoff, Welcome to Tinnitus Talk. I have had tinnitus for only just over three months now and from what I can read about yours it is not as severe, but have found this forum to be very compassionate and supportive. I hope, you will have the same experience. If I can do anything for you or...

My T used to get louder on a pillow because of the obvious effect that dampening will increase the sensitivity of the ears and thus the tinnitus. Since last Friday this is only the case for my left ear. On my right ear I can now sleep better, it even gets quieter that way. But then again, my...

ENTs are so useless and tend to talk bullshit. The last one I've been to told me I would not have tinnitus but just ETD which lead to hearing noises in my ears. Even if that was true (which is not), this is still considered tinnitus by medical terms. I told him exactly this and he threw me out...

@Michael Leigh - Thank you so much for your advice. Also thank you very much for your general advice posts. I have already read most of them and I am sure you have helped loads of people finding them through google even though they never end up signing up to this forum. They are very helpful for...

@Samuel Greene - I hope you did not see my last reply as an offence. Your advice on quieter music production gear sounds good to me for people who do not experience "reactive tinnitus" or hyperacusis-related tinnitus spikes (actually, I do not care much for the dispute over the term - we all...

@another sean - Your post is somewhat hurtful to read for me as I love music a a lot myself and the thought of someone so desperate for musical enjoyment to resort to a paper cone vinyl player really makes me sad to my heart. If it is not to intrusive of me to ask: How does your Tinnitus behave...

I would go even farther than that and demand a maximum dB Level from Audio Systems in public places. Obviously you can't tie venues to levels considered safe as this would throw off most of the audience and I truly believe in everyones right as a consumer to risk harming yourself. But there is...

Update: My little beeps change! Every now and then I hear a "plop" like someone opening a very tiny champagne bottle. And afterwards either I have the beeps and a low pitch hum (around 200 Hz-ish?), or they disappear and my hum is around 400-500 Hz. Could there be some physical problem in the...

@Pawel1 - Thank you very much for your elaborate post and advice on nutrition, I will definetly look into it. And I don't feel offended at all, I'm happy about every bit of advice people here are willing to give! @Tweedleman - Also, thank you very much for the kind words and welcome to...

I started experiencing this phenomenon as well yesterday, but only in my right ear and mostly hear it when it's quiet over female voices on TV. Also my tinnitus changed quite a bit: My baseline sound has disappeared almost or completely in my right ear today and is now replaced with a very quiet...

I just read this and it made me weep. :( Whilst I have just joined Tinnitus Talk, I don't know who Allan is and how much he must have meant to all of you, this saddens me so much. Just please have all my best wishes. Stay strong as I at least try to...

Hey there. I'm having tinnitus for just over three months, so close to you. No, I have NOT habuated at all. If however, I can do anything to you, even if it is only chatting to you via PM, give me a message! All the best wishes out for you!

First of all, thank you all very much for your replies and wishes. I have the feeling that this forum can indeed be very helpful and from what I am reading, you guys seem very supportive. I hope, I in turn can give you some support as well. If anyone needs to talk, please write me a message (for...

Hello there, Three months ago I was attending a concert which I did not think was that loud while I was there. After that, my hearing was "wonky" for a couple of days but reverted back to normal. I also had quite a bit of hyperacusis, however this has improved massively. However, now I have...
