    6 Years Later, Tinnitus Does Not Matter to Me Anymore

    Imagine a train coming to a halt + the pain that comes with that, that is how it was. I quit using any headphones. Any power tools, so much as a drill, I used earplugs/earmuffs. I found the pain went away first. I couldn't tell you when because I was still so distraught from the sounds...

    6 Years Later, Tinnitus Does Not Matter to Me Anymore

    Combination of habituation + loudness reduction. As @RainbowCat said, I had constant, horrible tinnitus for about 2 years straight. And healing is not linear. I'd have one good day, then a bad week, then two good days and a bad month etc. until I had more good than bad days. I had horrible ear...

    @Stayinghopeful, thanks! I work as a public safety dispatcher so ya, I did for sure. It was tough to hear the radio through the ringing!

    6 Years Later, Tinnitus Does Not Matter to Me Anymore

    If anyone remembers me, I've been a member of Tinnitus Talk for at least 6 years. In January 2017 I went to a house party that changed my life. As a long time musician (no hearing protection... yes I know), I was not diligent with my hearing. No one talks about tinnitus, no one talks about the...

    Is the Thought of Tinnitus Getting Worse Scarier Than Your Actual Tinnitus Level Right Now?

    Mine fluctuates a lot, after a couple years of it being bad 24/7. So yes, I get really stressed out on bad days. Like posters above I'm not mentally built for this shit. On good days I'm pretty stoked and feel normal but sad it won't last. Either way we need some good treatment! Many of us are...

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus — 5 Gigs Since Spike — Not Getting Worse

    I started playing with my band again, been too probably, 6? live shows. It took me 2 years to even consider a live event, and 2.5 to consider playing again. I have the custom plugs but choose to use foamies for the time being. Any spike I've had so far has been from poor sleep. Keep rockin' but...

    Developed Severe Reactive Tinnitus After Yesterday's Acoustic Trauma

    Yep, Musician. But it was actually a house party that tipped me over the edge. I had T for like 3 months that had gone away but came back after the party. The spike was not noise induced. It just spiked one day like it usually does (every day is kind of a gamble but the good days have got WAY...

    Developed Severe Reactive Tinnitus After Yesterday's Acoustic Trauma

    Yes lots, 6 month spike where the reactivity just went full blast and just remained constant. It was only after that I started having long stretches where it was barley audible. From onset it was a whirling/oscillating reactive 12khz+ smathering of static and various pitches that I could hear...

    I have/had this it got better over the course of 2 years, where most days I just have regular Tinnitus, but somedays it will overlay a lot if what people prefer as regular masking sounds. Cheers to a treatment soon!

    @SignalExec That's awesome of you to extrapolate that data. Maybe some real world testing (us) will show something different? This is the first iteration of something that's proven to work, it's pretty rad and hopefully they will build on this and narrow down and laser this beast in the face...
