    Floaters

    My original answer to the poll was "no". However, like 1 month after I answered no to this poll I started to notice eye floaters. This was a few months after onset of tinnitus. They are mostly clear so I can see them mostly while looking at sky. However there are those, like "flies", they are...

    How Salty Is Your Diet? Should Tinnitus Sufferers Avoid Salt?

    Mine is not affected neither with salt nor sugar intake. Unless you really have issues with high blood pressure or you know your diet is bad I don't think it will have any effect.

    Ringing in Ears Since Concert

    You are on the good way to get better. Mine is only getting worse and I am 4+ months in. Your already showing signs of improvement means it will improve even more. However as you said progress is slow and non-linear.

    Ringing in Ears Since Concert

    @Digital Doc I wonder... How did you came up with the idea to use Omega3? Did you consult with your GP before using it? I would like to give it a try but not sure whether should I try it without consulting with GP first.

    Four Month Update: So Far My Tinnitus Has Only Been Getting Worse

    @Mymlan I dont know. Only thing I can say yes it made it a bit worse was my dentist appointment 1 month ago. But it was gradually getting worse even before that appointment... However I also hope there will be turning point at some point. Will it be 4 months from now or 1 year I dont know...

    Tinnitus Getting Worse and Worse for No Reason (I Protect My Hearing and Don't Use Headphones)

    I haven't used anything so far buta few days ago started to think that maybe I should give them a try. Only opening my jaw changes the pitch to be a bit higher, but then when closing it the tinnitus goes back to baseline. But, I think this opening jaw thing probably everyone experiences or...

    Tinnitus Getting Worse and Worse for No Reason (I Protect My Hearing and Don't Use Headphones)

    @GoatSheep - no meds here. I was taking valium only during first month but only since I had all kind of side effects from Prednisolone, most notably insomnia. However after that things settled and I was able to sleep, with 2-3 awakening during the night even though it was already moderately...

    Tinnitus Getting Worse and Worse for No Reason (I Protect My Hearing and Don't Use Headphones)

    Hi, I need some help/advice here :cry::cry::cry: For some reason my tinnitus is getting worse and worse and I don't know why. I would say every week/few days there is some kind of worsening. It went from moderately severe to really severe, I would say it's probably intrusive now. It's 2:30 AM...

    What's on Your Bucket List?

    Visit an F1 race since I am an F1 fan. I had a ticket for this year's Austrian GP until 2 weeks prior to the event tinnitus stopped me :) Maybe in a few years time when I'll build up a confidence again...

    Paracetamol Spiked My Tinnitus?

    Just to add my 2 cents here. 10 days ago I took 2x 500mg Paracetamol within 2 days because I had somewhat bad cold, 1 tablet daily and it did nothing to my T. I think it might also lowered it a bit down until effect lasted (4-6 hours)... My T is probably noise induced so I dont know whether that...

    Is This Kind of Tinnitus Hyperacusis?

    Thanks Michael! I havent used headphones since my tinnitus onset and I dont plan to use them soon. My tinnitus is a bit too loud to be able to enjoy the music, at least not yet. I will give myself a few more months and if I dont get better I will think about TRT and I already found few places...

    Is This Kind of Tinnitus Hyperacusis?

    Sorry you are going through all of that. My hypearcusis isnt that severe. My biggest struggle is the volume of tinnitus. But I do have some sensitivity to the sounds which I didnt had few weeks ago. All started with this spike after dentis visit a litte more then 2 weeks ago. However I was also...

    Is This Kind of Tinnitus Hyperacusis?

    Hi all, I don't know where to put this topic/question but think this is probably the best place... I have had tinnitus almost 4 months now and it's somewhat reactive. Let me explain... Usually my tinnitus is quite loud, maybe not that intrusive as other people but not mild in any case, I can...

    Sleeping with Reactive Tinnitus?

    I agree with Sean. Just try without any maskers, however that might be maybe strange in the beginning if you got used to them. Mine is also reactive, pretty loud and I am also realtively new to tinnitus with having it only for 3 months and from the beginning I haven't used anything to mask it...

    Strong Tinnitus After 1 Month + Sleep Deprivation

    Hi Michael, Thank you for answering. Yes, you are right it was probably sound exposure I am well aware of that since I used to have those "goes the next day" tinnitus before altough this one today is quite different in sound. I assume sooner or later tinnitus would appear with or without...
