    @Nick47 last weekend I went out to dinner with a friend Saturday night at a medium level noise restaurant and was there for 3ish hours, then Sunday was at my sisters for a small gathering for her husbands birthday. Monday and Tuesday were exacerbated, but rebounded to more tolorable levels. I...

    Hey @Nick47 sorry I had a very busy week at work and wasn’t coming on much. Yes illness is gone and thankfully no significant setback from that. All in all, I’m managing okay and better than 4 weeks ago. I have moments where it’s a lot and reactivity is still super sensitive, but it’s not nearly...

    Cacophony of Irregular and Oscillating Tinnitus Tones

    I have a whole orchestra of tinnitus. It reacts instantly, even to low-level sounds, and eventually causes other nerves in my head to send jolts of activity.

    For Pregnant Women Afraid of Tinnitus Spikes

    Hi, I'm so happy to see someone willing to share their experiences with pregnancy and tinnitus! :) I'm also planning to have children in the future, but I've always worried that it might make my tinnitus worse. I hope to hear some good news from you! :)

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Norwegian mainstream media predicted a landslide victory for Kamala Harris. The news of Trump's win has fueled so much anxiety and fear that helplines for anxiety and uncertainty have been overwhelmed since the election results were announced. Many Norwegians are outraged at how their media...

    What Actually Causes Tinnitus Distress?

    I'm not sure why you'd think that, given that most (though not all) of us are born without tinnitus. Then, at some point, something happens—acoustic trauma, illness, toxicity, etc.—that damages our hearing system, and tinnitus appears. We are not naturally meant to live with a constant...

    Cacophony of Irregular and Oscillating Tinnitus Tones

    @in_the_shadows, if it helps, the type of sound—though sometimes more distressing—is actually meaningless. I experience all sorts of sounds that vary. Without any treatments, the specific types of sounds don’t really matter. Unless I’m missing something? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

    Because she flubbed her answer? I don't know that. What I do know is this: When I was her age, if I had been assaulted with a microphone and a question that I didn't think about before, I would have bungled it worse than she did. Does that make me a typical MAGA supporter?

    How to Cope with Irregular Tinnitus Sounds?

    Reactive tinnitus isn’t very common, even among those seeking help on this forum. In fact, some people refuse to acknowledge it as a real condition. If you mention “reactive tinnitus” to an audiologist or ENT, it’s likely the first time they’ll have heard the term.

    Am I More Susceptible to Further Hearing Damage Compared to Someone without Hearing Loss?

    I followed a similar path. After 6.5 years, one loud gym class changed everything for me. I hadn’t worn hearing protection in the environments you mentioned, nor did I monitor my tinnitus. Since you’re new here, I suggest reading more broadly. Notice how many members join, habituate, carry on...

It’s a maddening mix of chirping, sparking, ringing, whistling, static, and other...

    How to Cope with Irregular Tinnitus Sounds?

    It sounds like reactive tinnitus. Hearing beeping in response to certain noises is quite common.

In the meantime, your sister should try to avoid any sounds that seem...

    From Mild to Severe: Tinnitus After Eardrum Rupture Got Worse Years Later After Swimming and Water Staying in Ears

For four years, my tinnitus was very mild, and I could go through most of my days without even noticing it. This past May, I ruptured my right eardrum again, but my tinnitus...

    Hi @Petey04, Tinnitus can change, and when it does, it can be alarming. We know that an anxious reaction often makes it worse, but we also know that when we accept and work on managing our anxiety around tinnitus, our perception of it tends to lessen, allowing us to live well with it. When we...
