I shouldn't have characterized your response, that's my bad. Fair point. I just hope your excellent points, and my points, aren't overlooked due to this reaction from Autumnly. We're both just trying to help. :cool: On a super positive note, I see our thread starter is still with us here...

Ah that's ok. Was just hoping to connect some dots. You're lucky. I really hate fireworks and thunder. Here in NJ we often get storms. And there's a local school that loves to do a fireworks show every year. My ears are very sensitive. But I believe that's just because my hearing is really...

Hmmm ok. How are you around loud noises like fireworks or thunder?

He simply got upset at her reaction to his post https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/suicidal.31839/page-20#post-464771

This was truly beautiful to read.

I hope bumping an old thread is ok. I just really found this important. Also I realize how much worse it could be. While I do think listening to some sounds temporarily made my Tinnitus worse, I feel some comfort that I found something similar. I couldn't describe the sound. It took 14 videos to...

Please be careful. This could make it worse. Try to only do the amount you need. Don't try to match it. Just enough. You have to take care of the ear as well. What about a different doctor then? Maybe one who can rule out any blood disorders? Or a neurologist? I really think the goal of ruling...

There are times I think someone is talking but they aren't. Always unintelligible. This mainly happens in a certain room of the house. I could just be hearing my dad's TV since it's directly below. I also think sometimes certain sounds like my soundscreen can mimic this. Do you have very good...

Yes but peace of mind is still peace of mind. The end goal is the same. It's still a very wonderful thing. And there are some cases of tinnitus improving.

That could be an issue with your sinuses/ear infection. I'm glad you have an ENT appointment. This will hopefully rule that out. I wouldn't panic. It will only make you feel worse. What did your doctor recommend you try that you haven't?

Allan, are you on any treatment for the anxiety and depression? Those alone can debilitate you. Add in anything else, and it's just so insanely difficult to fight. But please realize that you are fighting it. Every single day. You are stronger than you think. Look at what you've gotten through...

What does yours sound like? Everyone: Don't click the link if you have bad tinnitus. Also, lower your volume a lot before clicking. I went through a ton of videos and finally found something that's kind of similar. Mine is like it but lower, softer. More of a humming to it. But mine doesn't...

I found this: I'm trying to see if I'm able to describe my tinnitus more accurately.

Yeah could be allergies. Ok very interesting that it alternates. I've had clogged ears switch from one side to another. It certainly seems like, whatever the cause, it is moving. So I take back my other comment. It very well could be fluid. That actually sounds like a good thing. There's...

1. Yes 2. No 3. No I'm a major gamer and have had a massive amount of computer usage. I also have a degree in Computer Animation. Never had any ear ringing until less than two months ago. I do have terrible posture. I do have neck issues. I see a chiropractor and massage therapist weekly for this.

It seems this thread has actually been mercifully spared, considering what happened in your other Christian thread. Geesh. I would hope this is an opportunity for Christians to discuss amongst themselves their troubles and how their connection to God helps them. :huganimation:

Oh dear...... I wasn't expecting a massive debate for pages and pages when I clicked this. All I can say is This was your response to how we were created. I have absolutely no freaking idea what you were trying to say here. And please don't try to explain it. Pretty please. We believe he...

I have glasses that block out the glare of oncoming cars and street lights. I don't wear glasses and don't really need them. But this is very helpful for when I drive. This is a late reply, but if anyone else is looking...

That's excellent news. I do understand your point and you are right about the negativity. It's just so easy to fall into that trap and I'm sure you understand that. There isn't enough optimism on here so this is great to read!

Something very similar happened to me. Less than two months ago they began construction on our street. It was really loud so I began using earplugs to be able to sleep at 6 am. Keep in mind I've used ear plugs numerous times over my life. Also, I've never had an issue with ear ringing. For some...

Thanks very much.

Of course. And definitely stop taking any that are making it worse. I just meant don't stop looking for something for your depression.

It must depend on the cause. You can't give up hope.

Hey now. Let's not wish it on anyone. Especially someone a member loved enough to marry. I too am glad she's going to be your ex. You deserve better.

Say what?!

I hate this concept of "no cure". Surely it's just something we have not discovered yet? There are probably many different causes of tinnitus. They just have to figure it out. From the stuff you guys discuss on this forum alone... it is extremely complex. Studies are a great sign. We need more...

None of the drs have continued to try to figure out why you still have the fullness? :confused:

The dr seeing fluid in your ears doesn't explain the total blockage of both your ear and nose. Is it an ENT? Do you get the blockages on both sides sometimes or does it alternate? Do you have a history of sinus infections? Do you get a runny nose when you notice the blockages? When you blow...

John, I love your attitude. It is so refreshing. Thank you.

Never. You have to give yourself hope.

I understand. Try to remember to also have faith in yourself. Praying to God is great. And I do thank Him all the time. But don't forget about yourself, too. I think He made you stronger than you think. Thanks so much for your very kind words. They mean a lot to me. Well said. I know it's so...

I'm so glad your mother is trying all she can. That's wonderful. I think you should focus more on her and care more about her thoughts than your father's. Because he's just wrong. It's not your job to convince him. He also can't diagnose you. Whatever your dr recommends is the best thing to...

Begging is desperation and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Shame on you for indicating otherwise. While you feel you aren't capable of it, many are breaking down and rely on their faith. I really don't give a damn what you think of it. Faith helps many people. There is nothing wrong...

In my opinion, you have to survive day by day. Don't look at the future in such ways. Don't try to think about 10 years. If you convince yourself you will not get better for a decade, you will completely overwhelm yourself. And the truth is we don't know how long. We shouldn't guess. You can get...

Which ear drops?

Actually, you can. If your blood pressure gets low enough, you can pass out.

Chronic sinusitis sufferer through childhood here. Often, the combination of antibiotics and steroids is effective in treating sinus infections. Of course, this depends on the person, the antibiotic, the steroid, the dosage, etc. etc. But since your cough hasn't improved at all, I think you may...

While you're trying to be fair, I have to say that if it was the other way around I wouldn't be surprised if the response was very different. It was an offensive post that had nothing to do with this thread. It was meant to attack. It was not meant to lead to a true discussion. It's not a...

Please do not simply stop trying antidepressants, especially if your psychiatrist thinks they will help you. It is not super common to develop tinnitus from these medications. But it is hard to cope with severe depression. You will have to discuss with your psychiatrist which ones would be the...

I appreciate you looking it over but I never expected that. Can you please explain how post #21 either 1. invites a real discussion in any way or 2. contributes to the point of the thread ? Which is then quoted and approved in post #22.

Yeah I understand. I suggest trying what your dr recommends. Everyone is different of course. Many vilify Xanax so that's why I mentioned it. It truly was a miracle medication for me. I've also had some bad experiences before I tried the Xanax. I know exactly what you're going through. I was a...

It just gets so tiring. You made a positive thread, looking for positive replies. Here is just another example of how nasty atheists can get. Like you, I too believe in miracles. I believe I've seen miracles. That's a huge reason why I believe in God. Stay strong.

I'm glad. Certainly don't want you to feel worse as you're trying to solve this problem. I tried many meds as well and Xanax was the miracle medication for me. Also remember that your body changes over time... some meds stop helping. Because of this I've swapped between Paxil and Celexa for...

The amount of disrespect here is really unfortunate. There is nothing negative being said by Christians here. Yet some atheists decide to spew their hate, ignorance, and sarcasm. Please post elsewhere. You certainly aren't helping anyone. And don't turn this into a debate. In response to the...

It's very important to remember that everyone is different. Especially with experiencing floaters. You will come across many horror stories. Here's my personal experience.... I had visual migraines with white flashes for a while. After stopping my birth control medication (for severe cramps) due...

Has there been an improvement since going off your meds? Please be very careful with your depression and anxiety medication. It's best to make one adjustment at a time, regarding all of those meds. I'm wondering if the previous ear and TMJ issues could have somehow made it easier for the...

I'm mostly interested in hearing from people who have personal experience with this, know someone who has, or have read specific cases. How long does it normally take for a medicine to (presumably) cause tinnitus? Does it usually happen very quickly? Could it be after a few months? Could it be...

Have you listened to loud music often? Have you been exposed to loud noises numerous times? Were your ears fine before?

I had to sign up to reply to some of you..... Have you tried the "Tinnitus retraining. A wearable device delivers individually programmed tonal music to mask the specific frequencies of the tinnitus you experience." (Mayo Clinic)? One of you mentioned clenching during the night. Are you using a...
