    I'd like to give some advice to help others but I have none. There is nothing you can do about it. It's small steps towards whatever end.

    I hope our symptoms can significantly improve with time. Having to live like this for at least 50 more years is not the most welcoming idea.

    The real issue with tinnitus is noise volume. After a certain threshold it successfully parasites your brain and disrupts other pathways.

    More than one year with this vacuum cleaner noise. I still hope for its disappearance. As time passes by the less likely it is to go away.

    I've had something similar to photopsia yesterday. Letters disappeared when I looked at them and I saw flickering rainbows. First time I have it.

    I'm starting to think that more than noise caused the worsening. I'm getting headaches that spread to the ears since then. Never before.

    Playing some frequencies in one ear calms down several tones of the other ear for a few seconds. I wonder what tinnitus does to our brains.

    Tinnitus from Age 12 — This Summer I Went from One Tinnitus Tone to Five Tones

    My guess is that fleeting tinnitus is early trauma. Modern life is very noisy and it's very likely that everybody gets damages. Now that everybody has it they call it normal. I have had tinnitus for a long time and I got at least 3 times more fleeting tinnitus on my 'worst ear' regarding...

    Tinnitus Due to My Own Idiocy of Overusing Headphones

    Hi Michael, I already have an high-end computer I assembled myself and I set up the fans so that they activate only when under load, the computer makes no noise 98% of the time. Noise discomfort from fans started a few years ago. I remember having no discomfort the years prior, maybe this is...

    Suicidal

    After those many months I hoped I would be able to write a success story. But no, I have no improvement since then. Ear discomfort is always there. The pain is still there, although it sometimes dissappears for a few hours. The many different tones are there. Noises that people make are very...

    I remember hearing my heartbeat loudly with my >30db noise-cancelling headphones. Now I barely hear it below the cacophony.

    My being is slowly dissolving into this lovecraftian horror that is tinnitus. Perhaps I will become a pure tone.

    I Now Have Tinnitus After Receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

    The spike protein seems to be a toxin for the cardiovascular system and targets small blood vessels. If this is true then it's not surprising that you can get tinnitus and hearing loss if it spreads around the inner ear and causes the death of cells because of low oxygen supply.

    Tinnitus Due to My Own Idiocy of Overusing Headphones

    Since I got loud tinnitus, I sometimes get few second spikes with noises different from the ones which are always there, and when it happens I feel like something is moving inside the ear. Do any of you know what it is? I also noticed my ears completely lost the ability to feel rested. When I...

    Tinnitus Due to My Own Idiocy of Overusing Headphones

    I took a decongestant for the nose but it was not very effective and made my less affected nostril bleed. I also took some antihistamine, but no effect aside from weight gain. I stopped using both of them. The last solution is apparently surgery. To equalize pressure I usually try to blow air...

    Tinnitus Due to My Own Idiocy of Overusing Headphones

    Hello, here is my tinnitus story. I'm a computer nerd and I have been using headphones on daily basis to insulate myself from external noises. Noises are very tiresome and strain my ability to focus. I heard tinnitus for the first time when I was a teenager. I had two computers in my room and...
