    Loud Tone for a Few Seconds — Fleeting / Transient Spontaneous Tinnitus

    Hi all, is it normal to expercience 3 or 4 TST ( 5 secs ) along with fullness in just one day? I had TST before and after my main T onset, but they happened only once in that day and again after weeks. Today is different. In your opinion what could be?

    Can You Hear Your Tinnitus When You Put Your Fingers in Your Ears...?

    When the tone of the T changes, it means you have a Somatic Tinnitus, and it is very common among us. Mine is somatic too, it changes its loudness; however, it does not change if I move my fingers inside my ear. About your question if it will go away, no one can reply. But I can assure sooner...

    Reversible Tinnitus (My Ideas)

    Every disease is reversible. I've always been of the opinion that pharmaceutical industries ( and other medical industries ) don't want to research something that can cure, at least, the majority of disease / condition in our bodies. T is not different: they teach us "it cannot be cured" first...

    The Positivity Thread

    I think habituation is when your T does not bother you anymore, and, in some cases, when you does not perceive its presence ( in my case, for example, somethimes it goes off my consciousness despite its fzzzzzz ) :)

    Whose Tinnitus Actually Went Away Though?

    9 months are nothing, we need at least 2-3 years to have a real relief. However the "new" in is approach to the T is that this symptom is not chronic as the medical science wants us to believe. The more one person believe T will stay, due to wrong medical advises and horror stories, the more it...

    Whose Tinnitus Actually Went Away Though?

    CST is not the only thing to do in order to get relief. He said that lots of times inside his books and on his videos on YT.

    You're right: T is not something natural within our body normal functionality, since it is a symptom of something WRONG inside or near our ear(s), or inside our auditory cortex. Nonetheless it is also normal to hear something in complete silence ( for non-sufferers ). This is the natural state...

    Spikes and Positions

    I think this is not a spike. It sounds like another case of somatic T, because changing position ( I don't know the right scientific description ) could lead to an increase ( or decrease ) of the tone.

    Advice for Newbies

    T is silent for a non-sufferer. It doesn't kill, It doesn't spread its "action" like a virus and it is not a disease. For me these three factors are the main barrier for a real cure.
