    A Life with Tinnitus — How to Live?

    According to my T experience I should know "how to live with tinnitus" but today it's really, really hard. The very loud and high tone in my right ear is "sharper" somehow and even though it's probably the same volume or maybe just a bit louder it brings me to the limit today. Of course I...

    Does Your Tinnitus Volume or Frequency Change?

    This is something I asked myself. I'm not sure if T is changing loudness or sometimes it's harder to deal with it and then it feels like it is louder? The last days I would say it is louder but when I try to compare it with other sounds (watching TV, driving in my car,..) it seems that it is the...

    Tinnitus Loudness — the Nitty Gritty...?

    I think so too, although it's hard to believe for me at the moment. Probably my T is as loud as ever but it feels terrible at the moment. My T become much worse 2 years ago (if I'm honest I can't imagine someones T is much louder than mine) and it was really hard to live a normal life again but...

    My Right Ear Hurts a Little Bit

    Hi all! I got Tinnitus (both ears) about 20 years ago and after some time and the common treatments (which didn't help) I habituate and was able to live a normal life. Of course I had a few short and longer setbacks but found my way back to life everytime. Last summer my Tinnitus become worse...

    From Darkness to Light, How I Recovered from Tinnitus & Hyperacusis

    Hi @Candy ! Yes, I do live a normal life again. But this does not mean I do not have bad moments or bad days from time to time. I also can hear my very loud Tinnitus but I go on with things and try to live as I wouldn't have Tinnitus which allows me to forget T. I'm at the beginning phase of...

    Is It Possible to Cope with Tinnitus — No Matter How Loud?

    Of course not, I just meant if someone is struggeling with loud T he wouldn't like to hear this can't be cope and he is f*** up. But you are right, I asked something and got a honest question. Sorry

    Tinnitus and Now Also Pulsating Hissing

    Hi all! I have Tinnitus since about 20 years and was able to manage it somehow. Now I got a pulsating hissing to it which freaks me a bit out. It is not very loud and I can just recognize it in silence but it is very awkward and even if there are noises around and when I do not hear it, it...

    Is It Possible to Cope with Tinnitus — No Matter How Loud?

    Is It Possible to Cope with Tinnitus — No Matter How Loud?

    Good question,.. yes, I can hear it over all but not when showering. What is "Tomorrowland"? I know just the movie, but I bet you do not mean this. It's hard to explain, it's not only the volume at the moment but kind of a slight pressure and pulsating "blood-hissing" or something like this...

    Is It Possible to Cope with Tinnitus — No Matter How Loud?

    Hi all! Because my T starts very, very loud on my left ear right now I'm asking myself if it doesn't matter how loud it is to cope it? Or do you think there is a point where it is impossible to cope it? Even if I have T for about 20 years and of course I had a few very bad days with it I'm a...

    Tinnitus Getting Worse After a Year and a Half

    @sara Antidepressants shouldn't be used like your dad did of course. Today they are very good with no side affects (depends of which kind of them of course). Maybe it make sense to talk about it with your doctor? Otherwise I can just recommend the same as Gosia and Breezer already wrote,.. try...

    Tinnitus Getting Worse After a Year and a Half

    Hi Sara! I'm sorry to hear that. I know what you are going through. Maybe the stress you had because of your wedding arrangements increased your tinnitus? Because stress is one of the main causes for it. And if your tinnitus is getting louder you focus on it which makes it more louder of...

    People Who Do Not Care

    @Jason C I agree with Michael! Even tough I prefer to sleep in silence I would recommend to try using nature sounds at the beginning and when you struggling with tinnitus. Of course only if it doesn't hurt for you. When it was very bad for me I was listening to summer rain in a forest which...

    Sleeping with Sounds or Silence? Which Is Better for Tinnitus Sufferers?

    Insomnia, and Tinnitus, Horrible Combo.

    Hi Viktor! I know exactly what you mean! I guess the most of us know this. Sometimes crying can really help, so don't keep it back! Bring your mind to something else, even if it is hard. I'm sure you have situations where you focused on something and you do not recognize your tinnitus. Maybe...

    Taurine and Tinnitus

    Does anybody made similar experiences? I take antidepressants since a few years and now I started with taurine (1000mg twice a day) and now it seems to me my T gets louder, but not really sure. I'm now a bit afraid of continuing it.

    Volume or Perception?

    Hi! What do you think: Is Tinnitus getting louder from time to time or is it just our perception why it feels louder sometimes. Although I have it for about 20 years I'm not sure about that. TinniTom
