Wow.. I really thought i had habituated but I caught the flu a couple weeks ago and WOW, is my T bad! Bad as in more loud and annoying as ever before. :( Even though I feel i've been over the flu for about 5 days now, the loudness of my T has not changed and still overly loud. Anyone else...

I sleep with a noise machine all night. When i wake up and turn it off, My T is the loudest of the day. It seems to get better as the day progresses. Over the last couple weeks however, im going through a major spike it my T. Its very frustrating :(

Not sure if this has already been posted but i wanted to share. I have struggled a lot for just the right frequency of white noise to completely mask my tinnitus while I work at my computer during the day. Most of them out there don't do well with my brand of tinnitus. I finally found one that...

Just wanted to get some responses to help us all measure our loudness in comparison with others: Can you hear your t while sitting in a silent room? YES Can you hear your t in an average office environment-- if you work in an office? YES Can you hear it while walking outside on a quiet...

Watching TV is one of the things that I cant definitely notice my T. It seems alot louder then.

I agree with all that Billie48 said. Give it time. I know its tough, but soon you will have the breakthrough day when this will happen. It will be in the middle of the day and all of a sudden you will think to yourself, "wow, i haven't thought about my T at all today and it doesn't seem to be...

Mpt, I pretty much hear it everywhere but mostly in quiet areas. When everything first started my ENT put me on prednisone and antibiotics. I really felt neither one did anything for me. Sleeping used to be a big problem early on, but i found a really good sound generator on Amazon. It...

I think i've come to the realization that I have this problem for life. It takes me on short spurts where i think its gone, then it comes back with a vengeance. I went a full 2 weeks where I thought my T was behind me. Then, out of no where, last week, it come back and it was about a 8 out of...

I was on prefnisone twice and each time it did nothing for my T :( It did however give me headaches :(

I use just a regular fan on good nights(low volume T). On bad nights(high volume T), i use a white noise app on my ipad. Both work well for me. Thank god for my sleep hasn't really become an issue... yet. <fingers crossed>

Kevin, you are SO MUCH like me! Ive had many days where I dont notice it, then i find myself not noticing it, so i listen for it..LOL :) I know its not funny and I dont mean to poke fun. Its just nice to know others experience the same things i do.

Its something called CEFDINIR.

Kevin, Its been close to the same amount of time for me with my T. It actually almost stopped completely for 3 days a couple weeks back. However, just like what you experienced, it came back with a vengeance. I have to tell you, those 3 days were pure heaven. The best thing about it though was...

not yet, ill do that when i get home. Im at work right now and the name of the antibiotic is escaping me.

My ENT prescribed Prednisone and an Antibiotic for me. I finished taking the Prednisone but I still have 5 days left on the 14 day stint on Antibiotics. I guess my question is if i haven't noticed any improvement in my T in 9 days, should i even continue the 5 more days? If anything, my T...

OMG.. I love the shower! Its the only place where my T goes away completely! I tried downloading shower sounds on my phone but its just not the same!

I thought I might get some feedback on this from all your wonderful people out there! I work in IT and in a very quiet environment for 8 hours a day. When my tinnitus was really bad, I would turn on this noise generator online and it would make the day more bearable. Over the last couple days...

I love this topic Erik! Maybe for the men we could come up with a new saying that would catch on all over Something like... "You know what they say about men with Tinnitus, dont you?" :D

Should I be worried about getting on an airplane with this T? I have never had an issues with my ears before on airplanes but now im worried its going to make my T worse. Any experiences or feedback? Glenn

Ive been experiencing the same issues lately. 2 days of good, then a couple of bad.. include today in the bad :(

thanks everyone!

I think I spoke to soon :( I had 2 really good days but now the T is back in my left ear again. Not in full force but definitely there. I am not done with the antibiotic or prednisone yet. I will be by the end of the week. Im trying to keep a positive attitude and hope that things will kick...

Its sad though. I feel the same way. Id gotten more info on this website than all the doctors ive seen.

True, I guess i'm more concerned about use of unnecessary antibiotics. My wife has a bad reaction and side effects when taking antibiotics. Your right though, i guess if the doctor prescribed them, he probably thinks its justified. Ill have to get this some time. I am hopeful though..

Well, i have no idea if i am at the point of habituation or if this T is actually going away. I'm about 5 weeks in with the T. I called my ENT last week saying it was still going strong and I wanted to try something to help me sleep or some type of Anti-Anxiety medication. He suggested we go...

Its funny.. my T started with this whine sound in my head. I really couldn't tell which ear so i assumed it was both. Now, over the last couple days, the high pitch whine appears to have migrated into my left ear only. I also still have a fullness feeling in that ear.I don't know if that's...

Demi, I was just having the same exact thoughts last night. I wanna try all these things but will they all work? Do i have the time? Will i ever get back to normal life? Last night, we lost power and the fan I usually sleep with turned off. WHOA.. waking up with the ringing in my ears full blast...

I have the same thing Demi. I feel ya.. :(

http://www.tinnitushearing.com/ Anyone try this device yet or have any feedback? I searched the message boards but couldn't find much.

Carol and Deb.. Thanks for all your words of encouragement. Its an interesting thing about habituation. Last night even watching TV I barely noticed it.. but then, i started thinking about the fact that I barely noticed it and the T started up again..LOL! Its going to be a long process for my...

I guess im still holding out hope that it will go away. Maybe im being to optimistic. My wife has been very supportive so far. Its just nice to have a forum like this as well. I appreciate everyone comments!

LOL DANNY!

Thanks Gary, In reading a lot of these posts on here i was just thinking about asking my ENT about something for my Anxiety. Lord knows.. i have lots of it! :)

Hi Everyone.. Thank god for a forum like this. Venting actually helps me a lot but i font think my wife can take it anymore :) Anyways... my story is I has some minor dental work about 4 weeks ago followed by my first root canal. About 3 days after the root canal my T started. Very high pitch...
