    Crickets-Type Tinnitus for Years, Now a Ringing Sound Joined It — Hello from Texas

    I found this thread because my hissing, ringing tinnitus added crickets on top about a month ago. The crickets aren't really that annoying, but they're really clear and cut through other sounds the way the hissing doesn't.

    My Tinnitus Has Significantly Changed in Character in the Past Weeks

    Hmm, okay. I started using them after my tinnitus began and I noticed silence helped it. I'll try and go back to earplugs again and see if it affects anything.

    My Tinnitus Has Significantly Changed in Character in the Past Weeks

    It's now more than a year later. I've had 2-3 escalations in the tinnitus sounds since then. I can no longer listen to the tinnitus maskers on YouTube, now they actually make the tinnitus much worse. The only thing that calms it now is a couple hours of silence. My baseline tinnitus is now like...

    Do You Remember Your Last Day of Silence?

    I remember when my tinnitus first started, it was much quieter, and I was listening to the sound of the leaves in the trees and being like 'huh, I think I have tinnitus now' when the leaves would stop rustling and I would hear it. My tinnitus is now louder than traffic lol. I wish I could go...

    My Tinnitus Has Significantly Changed in Character in the Past Weeks

    Thanks. Yeah, I wear noise cancelling headphones pretty much all day. With this new change I've been having to listen to one of those tinnitus videos basically all day to keep my anxiety about it down. I mean the the last time it got worse it stayed worse, so I've started trying to accept this...

    My Tinnitus Has Significantly Changed in Character in the Past Weeks

    About a week ago I woke up and my tinnitus had changed in pitch a lot. From around 13 kHz to much lower. The only thing abnormal about the previous day was I took an anti-allergy pill (Zyrtec) which I hadn't taken since my tinnitus started a year and a couple months ago. Like I would say my...

    here is an article mentioning .95%. Not sure of the current numbers. Like i said, originally the numbers were very low, and it keeps growing. https://totalhearingcare.com/the-potential-link-between-the-covid-19-vaccine-tinnitus/

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    I've been following reports of tinnitus following the vaccine since the spring, the numbers have been going up from under .4%, to .5%, now it's about 1%, which is not that rare. I don't know what portion it doesn't resolve. I personally suspect it's under reported.

    Worsening Tinnitus After Trying Notch Therapy

    Not implying this will work well for anyone else. Like i said, most of the ones I tried were unhelpful.

    Worsening Tinnitus After Trying Notch Therapy

    My tinnitus seems to be sound reactive, so I've started wearing earplugs/noise cancel headphones whenever the tinnitus is stressing me out too much. I can still hear it, but it's much less intrusive. Also, I listened to like 20 of those 'tinnitus music' things on YouTube. Pretty much all of...

    Worsening Tinnitus After Trying Notch Therapy

    I also didn't do well with one of the notch programs i tried. I am also somewhat new to tinnitus, but mine has changed in so many weird ways I try not to worry when something new and particularly alarming happens. I just do the couple things I've found that helps and wait and see. I had some...

    My Tinnitus Has Significantly Changed in Character in the Past Weeks

    I developed tinnitus about 7 months ago. It appears to be sound reactive. For the past 6 months, the tinnitus has varied throughout the day, and varied depending on what I do throughout the day. Get little sleep? Tinnitus way louder, get plenty of sleep? Tinnitus way quieter. Listen to some...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    This is totally anecdotal, and I'll never know the real cause, but I got tinnitus the same week as my first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. That was about 7 months ago and honestly I'm starting to get pretty depressed.
