Last time I was in the dentist office they had a treasure chest for little kids and they had balloons in it. Two kids were blowing them up and letting the air escape with this high pitch noise. I just had to bear it because there was no place to go. Never in my lifetime would I ever think I had...

I am on month five of my T. I have the same problem. It ramps out when the noise is too loud. At a concert you can put in the earplugs and still hear ok but you can't talk to anyone as you think you are talking loud or normal when you are actually whispering. There are so many unexpected things...

Jessiev94 My T ramps up as the day goes on. I think it's normal stress as that seems to ramp it up. So in the AM I have switched to decaf. I wear earplugs when I use my hair dryer or go to concerts or loud movies. At night it is louder but I will have a drink cuz it helps me sleep and it does...

Sorry you have T. I find distraction during the day helps. I used to love a quiet bedroom to sleep but that's gone. My T is a static type noise. So I use a sound machine on rain mode and have the fan on. I was reading to pick a sound that's different than your ear sound so your brain doesn't...

Do you take the amitriptyline in addition to zopicolne?

Is your T 24/7 just varying in loudness

Not much rhyme or reason why it decides to ramp up in volume especially when you can be at home in a quiet environment.

It does help if you can stay busy in spite of this mental anguish.

I just had my 2 month anniversary of T. Sitting in church and got a loud static noise in my ear and still there 24/7. It does vary in loudness and I kept a journal but can find no rhyme or reason to why it gets better why it gets worse except for the fact that anything too loud can ramp it up...

Does any one find that weather affects their T? Here in Michigan on humid or damp days the T does spike. Does anyone find that loud noise affects T? I was at a graduation ceremony and the lady next to me clapped and yelled the whole time. I like noise for distraction because if I put in earplugs...

The T is awful. Distraction helps when you are out with people. Sure at home I can turn the TV up but the noise is in my head so I am having a hard time masking it. Hard to believe in this day and age there is not much help out there. It seems so cut and dry. You go to on doctor and he says too...

It makes you wonder why some people get it and some don't. Like why doesn't every musician get T. Why do only 40% of returning war vets get it. Why do some get it for no reason. What made you decide to stop all meds? Were you frightening to go back to T?

It's hard to find a common thread. At first I journaled my T to figure out what to avoid and after 2 months I quit doing that because I can have good days for no reason and bad days for no reason. I do find concerts or the movies or noisy restaurants make it spike. Even sometimes any shrill...

I forgot I could be addressing people who have addictive personalities. My doc gave me xanax but I only took one in a month. I felt it was good to have a safety net and try not to use it but you all make a good point.

Elvail (Amitriptyline) works excellent for me. Been on it for nerve pain for 8 years then 2 months ago I got T but it is still helping me sleep and when it doesn't I have a 5mg xanax for a back up and I only had to use that once in 2 months cuz Amitriptyline works Other things are a glass of...

To get sleep at night Please take a xanax. It will not make you an addict. Why? Because a doctor will not let you abuse it. He won't refill a script sooner than he thinks you need it. Many of my friends are having a glass of wine or a slug of OTC ZZZ quil or Tylenol PM or a Bendryl every night...

Try xanax. It will not make you an addict. Why? Because a doctor will not let you abuse it. He won't refill a script sooner than he thinks you need it. Other things are a glass of wine or OTC ZZZ quil or Tylenol PM or a Bendryl He may even even give you an antidepressant too. A lot of my friends...

Me too 24/7. The only break I get is when I shower. Its still there but that is the only thing that masks it.

Make an appt or call your regular MD since your ENT is not helping you with dizziness....here is something to read: http://www.healthcommunities.com/vertigo/patient-information/questions-to-ask-doctor.shtml

When you talk to your doctor mention that you have trouble sleeping and now you have this constant ringing in your ears sleep is even harder to achieve. Have you ever taken anything for sleeping before? It's essential you get rest at night. You need a break that sleep provides that will help you...

Are you still have dizziness?

Uncle vikin thanks for the encouragement. I did not get lucky with the supplements. It's such a lonely fustrating journey.

Found this website with a lot of information http://hearinghealthfoundation.org//what_is_tinnitus

It would be interesting for research to find out what determines who gets this awful T. I was reading 40% of war vets get T but why is it not 100%. Some people get it out of the blue....others its age related....others its being exposed to noise related. I even tried to journal my journey but...

Hopefully soon. Thanks for this info. I am looking forward to reading up on these.

Hi Craggy 65. It's hard to believe there hasn't been much research when 50 million people have it. Must not be a money maker for drug companies to help us. They are too busy getting rich from Viagra! Many people are lucky they can mask the noise as mine is at the level of my TV and since its...

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind and positive words and taking the time to interact with me. Only people experiencing this can understand what a curse it is. I think if people do not see a physical problem and you seem to be acting normal (because distraction is so helpful)...

This is my first post. So happy to find this community however too bad the reason we are on this blog is because of a problem that has no cure. I was in church 4/5/15 and all of a sudden my left ear had a static noise in it. I have had this time to time (but not every single time) for many years...
