It wasn't acoustic trauma - but when my tinnitus started up it was accompanied with fullness in both ears (I only have tinnitus in my right ear). That lasted for about 4 days and then it broke, sadly the tinnitus decided to stay. There are times where it returns to both ears - in fact it...

I had both a cavity replaced and a wisdom tooth pulled. Before both, I mentioned to the dentist that I had tinnitus and I was going to put an ear plug in - which I did solely as a precaution. Neither event spiked my tinnitus that I can remember. One very odd thing I noticed when I was getting...

So the fullness subsided today - and the flutter pretty much disappeared. If I sit in a really quiet place, I can faintly hear it. One thing I noticed with the fullness - especially my right ear - was that I couldn't hear very well out of that ear. I was afraid I was going deaf...

Good for you @Mario martz - you are inspiring. I had a rough night last night and hearing your story of positivity was very welcome today.

@John Meyers I went mostly vegetarian last year - I made exceptions if I was invited over to dinner where they were only serving meat. I didn't want to have to be that person who required extra fussing. It wasn't that difficult - altho I found myself eating more of stuff that I know now to be...

Old post, I know. I've had mild tinnitus for about 14 years in my right ear. It was solid tone, in the 4k-6k range. The tone got louder over the years - but not terrible. In April I started getting a new form - a louder, less solid tone - more of a hiss. Then I was getting a high...

I have found that exercise before going to bed has greatly helped with sleep issues. I will regularly take an hour walk, or go to the gym a couple hours before bed. I also just feel better in general which helps with anxiety, etc.

I started meditating about 10 days ago and I've found some benefit. I use an app called Headspace - altho there are others (Calm, etc). You can try for 10 days free. I just finished my 10th free day today and ponied up the $50 something for a year. You might want to give that a try - at...

@John Meyers I think I'm watching that same documentary (on Netflix). I thought I was doing good by eating more fish, but there's mercury. I was having one or two drinks almost nightly when my tinnitus hit (April 2017). My doctor gave me xanax for anxiety, and some other meds to help me...

I was prescribed xanax for anxiety as well (April 2017). I quickly got off them because I was concerned about addiction / dependence on any drug. Toward the end I was taking small doses at a time .25omg (.5mg split in half). I went about 7 weeks without one, and took another .25mg as I was...

I was prescribed Xanax early on for anxiety related to my tinnitus. I ended up using it mostly for sleep, which it really helped me with. I never took more than two 0.5mg tabs a day - eventually breaking the tablets in half and taking 0.25mg at a time. I eventually stopped taking them as I...

Woke up to no detectible tinnitus briefly this a.m. It was glorious, but fleeting.

I'm going to try this as well - probably not with headphones. I find that when I focus on things my tinnitus tends to diminish. First time thru this game it seemed to calm down a bit - probably due to my increased focus.

Early on when I was having trouble sleeping I would occasionally take an Advil PM. I had no issues that I can recall - it actually worked really good as a sleep aid. When I saw that Advil could possibly aggravate tinnitus, I started taking Tylenol instead - but I rarely take aspirin /...

Hi Nave - judging by your age, and assuming you have had no other exposure to loud music / noise there's a very good chance that what you have will dissipate over the next several weeks, if not sooner. You will just have to wait it out to know for sure. You should definitely look into...

Hi @Tonya Song - Welcome. I just joined a few hours ago after lurking for the last 3 months. My tinnitus has picked up in the last 3 months as well. I'm not a professional - but I play classical guitar and it has been distressing at times trying to concentrate on playing with the noise in...

My name is John - I'm a musician, software developer. I have had mild tinnitus since about 2003 - a solid pitch that was pretty quiet. I wouldn't notice it unless I was in a completely silent room. When I first noticed it, I went and got fitted for musician's earplugs. I was pretty good...
