Looking for Tips for Getting Over the Habituation Hump
Hi Michael, I saw that you either currently use or have used the PureTone MM10. I was curious, did it seem to block sound? I only need the masking feature. I'm worried that it will block some of my hearing and then potentially make tinnitus worse. -

Why Does My Hearing Get Better for a Few Seconds After Popping My Ears?
Follow me here... Feel free to chime in and let me know what's like for you. I will notice my ears need popped, so I will pop them (Frenzel, Valsalva, just a regular pop, whatever). Then, my hearing gets better for a few seconds until I swallow again. Once I swallow, there's a click, and... -

Gunshot Related Tinnitus Spike and Worsened Distorted Hearing (Dysacusis)
Wow! These are the same symptoms I have been trying to live with for almost two years now. 1. Constant ringing. 2. Sound distortions - it's so distracting and disheartening - all day long. 3. I also have the really high pitched pulsating tinnitus that I can modulate with my jaw! My jaw... -

Dog Groomer, Loud Dryers, Lately I've Started Hearing Odd Sounds WITHIN External Sounds
Good evening! I have the same issue as you. I have a constant ring, which is bad, but can be covered up. What can't be covered is the cicada-like sound that I hear along with other sounds. When I hear it most: fans, waterfalls and plastic bags. But I also hear a chirp like sound with other...- jlish

Yeah. My reactivity was on a whole nother level for the first month or two. Not livable. It still reacts to footsteps, typing on a keyboard, etc. but it’s just a second-long high pitched noise. Before, listening to music in my car at low volume would cause a hum in my ear that would stick around...- jlish

Reactive AND Somatic Tinnitus — WTF?
I have medium pitched constant tinnitus in both ears. But I also have a high pitched tinnitus in my right ear that gets louder when: - I move my neck to either side. - I bend/duck down. - I press on my jaw. - I press on my temple near my ear. And it also reacts immediately to any sound... -

Tinnitus with a Movement-Based Bonus Sound
Hello Chris, Do you still get the hissing sounds with head movements? I have a normal tinnitus, which isn't really a big deal. But what is bothersome is this hiss I get with head movements/ducking/neck movements. I'm trying to pin down the source. Have you gotten used to it, has it gotten...- jlish

Audiogram and Other Hearing Test Results
Audiologists and others are telling me that my loss and tinnitus is probably not noise induced but rather that it is caused by a middle ear problem. My tinnitus is around 1,000 Hz, constant ringing in the left, near constant in the right. I also have some hissing/reactivity that competes with... -

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Like I said, I don’t want to get my hopes up. But at the same time I want to make sure this can’t be resolved... @InfiniteLoop -

Best Doctor/Center for Tinnitus in Northern California?
Did I mention, the ringing/reactivity are in both ears, though the left is more constant and reactive recently (which I would have said was my good ear 6 weeks ago.) -
J
Best Doctor/Center for Tinnitus in Northern California?
@InfiniteLoop Well said regarding the paths to lunacy. I’m not getting my hopes up regardless. The pitch of my ringing seems to be around 1,000 Hz, maybe up to 2,000 Hz, quite a bit lower than yours. I don’t really understand how to read the audiogram, the difference between bone/air... -

Best Doctor/Center for Tinnitus in Northern California?
@Nicholas2255 I can remember them ringing after a loud event, but that wasn’t uncommon. (Stupid, I know...) In the moment you think, “It’ll go away.” More loud events and a sinus infection/cold later was when I realized I had a ringing that wasn’t going away. I did have a fullness feeling in... -

Best Doctor/Center for Tinnitus in Northern California?
Preferably Sacramento area, but the bay would work too. 99% sure my tinnitus is noise induced. (Blasted music in car and headphones every day, regularly attended loud concerts, played in bands.) But I also had a cold upon onset and have allergies. In addition to constant ringing, I have sound... -

Ear Reacts to Fans with a Whooshing Sound and to Water with Crickets... Anyone Else Hear Either?
Hello! I have had this tinnitus/hyperacusis/reactive tinnitus (whatever it is called) for two months now, most likely due to concerts/festivals in the same week. It has gotten better and worse at different points, and I am slowly learning how to manage. (Yes, I've been to doctors/audiologists...- jlish
