    What Have You Given Up Because of Your Tinnitus?

    Tinnitus came at a very social, loud time for me. Cheerleader, dancer, and an active teen in high school. And I won't lie, it was super depressing at first. I thought i'd never be able to enjoy normal things again. But i've learned I can still have fun and be safe at the same time. Once I got...

    Hello! Been a While! How Are All of You?

    Hey everybody! I haven't posted on here for a while. I have been living life trying to manage tinnitus and enjoy every day as well. I have a lot of better days and I have been able to do some activities that I put on hold when I first got tinnitus :) Ever since I have been taking my daily...

    I Really Need Help and Support. My Life Is Ruined.

    Hey, I'm so sorry to hear that this has happened to you. If it makes you feel any better, I’m 17 and just got tinnitus two months ago. So I can definitely relate you and the scariness and being so young. These past months have been a hell of a ride but I can tell you I have been in your exact...

    Can Earwax Make Tinnitus Higher Pitched?

    How long do your spikes last with period? I've been pretty inconsistent with my birth control and right now I'm on my period and it seems soooo loud! Usually my T is lower pitched but it's just such a loud "eeeee" noise. What is yours like?

    Can Earwax Make Tinnitus Higher Pitched?

    Just curious. I ask a lot of questions but recently it just seems to be a lot louder. My ears feel clogged. Could also be my period.

    Feeling Like I'm Deteriorating. Please Help.

    I am 17 years old with hearing loss and tinnitus. Super high pitched. I am having a hard time being positive as well. I am sitting here in tears as I type this. My parents are exhausted from having to deal with my breakdowns.

    Tinnitus Higher Pitched? Could These Be Triggers? DESPERATE :(

    So in the last couple of days, my tinnitus has seemed a lot higher pitched. Especially at night. It hurts so much that it feels like it's ringing throughout my head. I'm bummed cause I was in such a good place before. I had a really bad night and I didn't sleep at all. I literally mean from 1am...

    POSITIVE UPDATE!

    Trust me, if anyone understands it's me... Just be patient with yourself. I COMPLETELY understand the anxiety after going out. Seems like everything is so much worse after, even if it is just in your head. The best advice I can say is take it slowly and day by day. Find out what is most...

    POSITIVE UPDATE!

    Definitely changes depending on the day. I would say on a normal day maybe a 3-4 unless it changes to high pitched which is like a 6.

    POSITIVE UPDATE!

    Thank you so much for your response. I am going to get my hearing tested again in December and if I show no improvement I will get fitted for a hearing aid. In a strange way I am excited for that. So weird. Although I feel so much deafer today I can see a change- not sure if it was from a party...

    Do you feel deaf in the irritated ear?

    POSITIVE UPDATE!

    Well, let me first off state that this update isn't all completely positive. I'm currently sitting in my bed missing school because tinnitus and anxiety kept me up from 3am to 10am. Finally got an hour of sleep. So, I think sometimes it's important to read positive things about tinnitus. We...

    Music with Tinnitus?

    I'm glad (but really sad-) that someone else had Labyrinthitis and experienced the same thing as me. Such a scary experience to go through alone. Could definitely use someone to talk to sometime.

    Worried Nobody Will Date Me?

    I have had this same question!! I know a certain hearing aid will help mask the tinnitus, but how does it do that without making it worse?

    Music with Tinnitus?

    Thank you so much for such a long and useful reply. It's nice to know I'm not so alone! I guess all I can do now is lower the volume and work on the anxiety. It might be good to take a break so that it doesn't get worse in the beginning stage. Also, they think it's because of the virus because...

    Worried Nobody Will Date Me?

    Hi! I'm sorry, I should've given more information, but I actually got tinnitus from a virus. Labyrinthitis. I lost the hearing in my right ear. I can hear but just can't make out what people are saying. High frequency hearing loss. If it doesn't improve in 2 months, I'll get fitted for a hearing...

    Hey, I saw on your post that you're 16 with tinnitus. I'm 17, and so if you ever wanna talk about anything you should message me. Sometimes I feel pretty alone being so young experiencing t.

    Worried Nobody Will Date Me?

    Tinnitus is hard on its own but the anxiety I've experienced since is even worse. I am 17 years old. Before tinnitus, I was extremely social and active. I attended high school football games, dances, concerts, participated in dance and theater, and chorus. I thrived for these things. I love...

    Music with Tinnitus?

    Hi! I am sort of new to tinnitus, I've had it for about a month now. I am 17 years old, so this has been a pretty hard adjustment. Not to mention I'm already a worried mess. Very high anxiety. I love love love music. It's been my therapy my whole life. I feel it in my soul and in such a...
