    My Experience and Tips — Tinnitus from Loud Music (Primarily Concerts and Headphones)

    Obviously? That’s a strong statement. It’s all relative. You don’t know what I hear. What may be mild to you may be scary as hell to someone else. Maybe what I’m hearing is as bad as yours. You have no way to judge. Maybe I just learned to cope better. Michael, you’re entitled to your opinion...

    My Experience and Tips — Tinnitus from Loud Music (Primarily Concerts and Headphones)

    UPDATE: My first post was in June 2022. I’m posting a quick update here and will also share this on the Success Stories subforum. This is going to be short and to the point. I now understand what success means. It doesn’t mean the tinnitus is gone—mine is not. Nothing worked to the extent I...

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    I'm on a monthly service with a remote audiologist that combines CBT with TRT (tinnitus retraining therapy). They've had a lot of success. I'm not anxious about tinnitus and plow through it so I don't have too many negative thoughts (getting over being upset for not using earplugs), so I'm more...

    I Made It to Med School — If I Could Beat Tinnitus and Be Happy Again, I Can Do Anything!

    Can you please point me to multiple, peer reviewed studies that support your comments about headphones? I'm working with a tinnitus specialist (who has noise induced tinnitus themselves) and they said your position is not so absolute. In fact, my therapist wears headphones on all their calls...

    Back to Silence

    I've had tinnitus two or three months from a loud noise event. Second time I've had it but worse this time. Back in 2003/04 I had it from a loud concert and it slowly went away over time (maybe a year or two). Somehow I habituated. This time I'm going to try this method. I'm doing well...

    Almost in Tears to Actually Post My Tinnitus Success Story

    Thanks for posting. I love reading the success stories. Of all the potential "cures" I've read about on this forum, there is one that sticks out more than any other. Time! This is definitely a mental game. We all have different sensitivities, but I do think the key is being positive and...

    Neosensory — Bimodal Stimulation Device for Tinnitus: Any Reviews? A Scam or Not?

    I've been using Neosensory for a month and only missed one day. I always do over 10 minutes and a few times I went for 15 or 20 minutes. A few times I fell asleep to it and when I woke up I noticed it had gone on over 40 minutes. So far no change in the level of my tinnitus. As a couple others...

    It Gets Better — I Used to Be Very Depressed About Tinnitus, Now I've Got Used to It

    Exactly what happened to me about a month ago. Loud band without protection brought it back and worse than I remember back in 2004 and 2017. From 2017 to recently it was so mild. Now I have to just move on and let it go away over months/years.

    My Experience and Tips — Tinnitus from Loud Music (Primarily Concerts and Headphones)

    Hello! I’m a new member and fellow tinnitus sufferer. I’m located in North Carolina after living in NYC from 1991 to 2019. I have a high pitched tone/hiss that I’m sure is caused from loud music (primarily concerts) and headphones over many years and it recently got worse – which is why I joined...
