I'm two months in with acoustic trauma T. These stories are great. Thanks for posting! <3

Sorry, I'm using my cellphone so it's difficult to quote what you highlighted. My fleeting T sounds like a flash bang effect in a video game. Thanks for highlighting that, I'm still quite new to this so I'm unfamiliar with some of the terminology. My T was almost disappearing during my first...

I have acoustic damage via headphones. I also get this loud ringing noise in my ears, either my left or right. It sounds like the ringing noise when you get hit with a flashbang in a videogame. I have to forcefully pop my ears sometimes to make it go away. It makes me uncomfortable at times...

Thanks for reposting. It's hard to find acoustic damage success stories. All lot of the new guys need something positive to read to have some hope in their lives. Cheers!

@Grimmfandango Try reading a few posts in the success forum. It has provided me some relief. I hope your T calms down soon. Best wishes.

I wore earmuffs and foam earplugs when I was on my flight. I didn't have any issues with air pressure. Bring chewing gum with you just in case.

@Aschenherz Wishing you best of luck on your recovery. I understand everything you wrote down. It's a tough road starting off with T. I recently got mine and I'm discovering all the things I love do is spiking my T. Getting sleep for me was my first step to recovery. I still have T and it...

I've do half an hour of running for warm-ups (maybe 2-3 miles) and I mostly focus on weight lifting. It feels like weight lifting affects my T more than running. It feels like when my blood pressure is up my T worsens. Although everyone recommends exercise, I'm hesitant to do so with my spikes.

@Paul10 I'm less than two months in. I acquired a new tone as well, high pitched crickets. I still get occasional ringing sometimes. The ringing is more easy to deal with for me. I get sharp loud ringing noises sometimes in the day, like my T doubles and goes back to baseline in a few seconds...

@Casper I've been getting minor ear aches and some fullness in my ears this week as well. I had T since February. My T has been spiking louder as of this week. I've been avoiding loud noises and headphones for awhile. Only thing I can attribute the increase of noise is me getting back to my...

I recently went on a 4 hour flight. I used both foam ear plugs and ear muffs at the same time. The forum warns of barotrauma (Google it). The ear plugs got a bit annoying because it felt abrasive in my ears so I switched to my ear muffs only. I had a slight increase in my T, but it went back...

@Aish Depending on the hospital, you might need to take a creatinin blood test if you're able to do the dye contrast for your scan. The MRI machine was loud for me. It sounded like a construction site. If your T was noise induced, I'd recommend ear plugs. Some people are affected by the...

Sorry Jake, I really feel for you. I don't want to be some random guy on the internet telling you what to take and what not to take. You have to talk to your doctor and tell him your issues and how it's making things difficult for you. Please try to hold out until you can talk to a doctor so...

I've never had a blackout or anything of the sort when I was on it. I've only taken 3 doses to fix my insomnia (4 days). Only side effect worth mentioning was it gave me diarrhea and a slight drowsiness when I woke up. My onset with T was in February. I've had days where I was like you...

That was what was prescribed to me by my ENT. It practically turned off my T when I took it. My doctor recommended me only to take half of it, but whether it was half or a full dose it knocked me out. I haven't taken it since a week ago, I'm trying to adjust to sleeping with T in my head...

Sleep has been tough for me as well. I had to get a sleeping aid prescribed by my doctor. I'm trying to not let myself be reliant on meds to sleep. I hope you see better days ahead so you can sleep.

I made my T worse when I listened to music on my headphones. I now have two new sounds in my T. If your music is at a volume where you can't hear people in a conversation than it's too loud.

Recently got my T. It's frustrating and scary knowing that my T will be long term. I'm still hoping that mine will disappear one day. I had one spike and it made me severely depressed. I couldn't function at work and I couldn't sleep. I had a new noise after my spike and that peaked my...

My T was caused by lots of headphone usuage. Focusing on your T will only make it worse. I had to be prescribed a sleeping aid to get some sleep. (4 days insomnia) it's tough now, but a good night's rest will ease you back to your baseline T. Stay positive!

No prob, took me awhile to learn how to navigate through this forum. Cool dog!

Yeah, I keep myself in relatively good shape. I couldn't believe the first thing to act up would be my ears. Haha, it's a kick in the gut sometimes when my T acts up. A positive attitude and keeping your mind active so you don't focus on your T helps a lot. Another forum member helped me...

Funny you mention the warning sign when you increase the volume on your cell phone. I used to do almost everything from walking, cooking and working out with earbuds or headphones on. Time seems to fly when you're enjoying yourself listening to some music. I do a lot of video gaming on my free...

Thanks for posting. It seems my tinnitus is insignificant compared to yours, haha! Cheers!

Good luck, dude! I'm a big fan of twitch. I'll add a follow when I can.

@Theo76 I recently got my T on February as well. My T was caused by lots of gaming on my headset and music. Gaming on Overwatch and listening to a lot of EDM. Like many, I'd suggest staying away from your headphones/headset. I think I made my T worse by listening to music while I felt like my T...

Sleeping position sometimes changes my noise. Elevated blood pressure and anxiety plays a role in my sound. The crickets T has been rough for me when it hits a higher volume. We're all different people, but speaking to someone that understands your situation feels more like remedy, at least for me.

I got my T on Feb. I was doing fine until my T changed in tone. It went from a ringing sound to crickets. This week has been rough for me. I was unable to sleep until I had to beg my doctor for sleeping medication. I feel much more rested and optimistic. My ENT told me he has T as well. He...

Thanks. Listening to music was my remedy after a long day. I'm pretty bummed that I can't do my normal everyday activities. Is that D.va on your avatar? Sad to say, I think me gaming long playing overwatch was what caused my T. Coupled with lots loud music etc.

@Kevin397 Glad to know you've recovered. I actually felt my T gradually going away until I decided to listen to loud music. So your tinnitus wasn't constantly always on? Can I ask how old are you? I'm hoping my tinnitus leaves as well. It's been a rough week for me, but I'm trying to power...

Reading all the doom and gloom has really made my T worse. The success stories are a better read. My T caused me a few break downs this week. I recently have T. A sleep aid did wonders for me. My T went from a 1/10 to 5/10 after I exposed myself to loud music. I'm avoiding things that might...

I'm sure my T was caused by a lot of headphones and ear buds usage. My T was relatively easy to handle, until I started using my headphones again for 30-40 mins. My T changed from a ring sound to crickets in the middle of my head. It sucks, because I used music and videogames as my way to...

@Norm Doucet I got my T in February. I was fine with dealing with it until I my made condition worse. I now have two different types of noises. One ringing and the other crickets. I took a Ambien yesterday, but I still felt sleepy so I took a nap. My is now raging louder than before. Youre...

@NewTDx I'm glad you're taking the right steps in improving your condition. I recently got mine. I thought I was seeing improvement in my T, but I made mine worse because of sheer stupidity. (exposed myself to more loud noises via headphones) My T was dimming down to one ear. Now I have T with...

@senko88 This sound on video has helped me with my tinnitus. I have the same cricket sound as you. My T changed from a ringing sound to crickets after I first got T. I got T from loud noise exposure from a lot of headphones usage. I hope the video helps. Also, the sound of the video is the...

My T recently started in February. I had my T completely disappear in my right ear. My left ear had T at maybe at a 1/10 volume. Anyways, I decided to listen to music on my headphones for awhile. The next day my T changed from a ring sound to crickets. My ears feel really sensitive to all loud...

Thank you, Hans. How is your T? Is there any noticable difference in volume? I hope there's improvement on my side. Thanks for the quick reply.

Hello everyone, I recently got tinnitus on Feb 20. I'm a heavy user of ear buds and head phones. I probably suspect that was what caused my T. I had a ringing sound that varied in volume in my ears. Sometimes my T would switch from my left ear to my right ear. Sometimes it would ring on both...
