I appreciate this is an old thread, but this is a big issue for me at the moment, after several years of habituation. I've been keeping a diary to try and identify triggers etc - As regular as clockwork I'm having one good day where my tinnitus is very low level and completely tolerable, then...

Thanks Michael, I'll check out your previous posts! I don't run at the moment, although when I did, I would definitely get a temporary increase in tinnitus. My exercise is non impact, such as cycling - I even use ear protection on the static trainer. Noted re the quiet room too, I do...

Thanks Michael. I've not been doing anything that would exacerbate my tinnitus, that's the thing! I'm healthy, exercise loads, and tend to avoid obvious triggers. My tinnitus is so unpredictable - yesterday was virtually silent - today, woke up at 3 am and was fine, then again at 5 am - I'm...

Hi, I’m in the UK and have in ear WNG’s prescribed by my NHS audiologist and tuned on to my particular volume and tone - they can be increased/decreased though. My Tinnitus is not thought to be sound induced, it developed shortly after a head injury about 4 1/2 years ago, I don’t have a constant...

Hi Samantha, this used to happen to me loads when I ran and it wasn't anything to worry about and didn't carry on after I'd stopped running. Sadly I now have T & H, the T gets aggravated temporarily after running, may be a blood flow thing, I'm not sure, but generally settles down as my body...

Many thanks Michael, I'll read the articles with interest. I've got a hospital appointment next week with the tinnitus clinic so I'll see what they have to say on the subject too, but it does make sense that it could be Hyperacusis too.

Hi Sean, Hi Michael, I'm really interested to read what you've got to say as I have similar symptoms which come and go alongside my T, and on bad days any sound triggers an increase in my hissing/static head noise. I'd just assumed this was a variation on T and hadn't considered it could be...

@Zard920 My T started in October after a period of increased stress involving a perfect storm of circumstances. I am pretty highly strung generally and there was no other physical reason for the T starting when it did. The Dr I saw at the time it started was useless, but what I've established...

Thanks for your comments, best to check with my Doc I think. Steve

Is there any reason why I shouldn't take Ginkgo Biloba alongside Sertraline? Cheers, Steve

Hey Scott, mine was fine on Christmas Day, fell asleep for 10 minutes in front of the TV and it was blaring louder than ever for no reason. By 27th, it was pretty much back to normal levels. I'm new to Tinnitus too and the unpredictable nature is a nightmare but I find stressing makes it much...

@glynis Thanks for your wise words and encouragement Glynis. I had a good Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but after nodding off on the sofa, I woke up yesterday with a sinful racket spiking in my ears. I must have been asleep for ten minutes and bang! They are singing away today and it's...

Has anyone in the community got any experience or comments on going down the pharmaceutical route to help with sleep? I'm having real difficulties and think that the lack of sleep is actually increasing my anxiety and therefore my symptoms. One day you think you're on top of it, then it...

Thanks William, Thanks Glynis I did have a slight spike in symptoms after the first diagnostic session which has made me quite nervous to be honest, I'm loathe to go down a path where I knowingly cause myself grief, but if it's for a long term gain then it might be worth it Cheers, Steve

I'd be interested to hear the communities views on this. I have a family friend who runs a successful chiropractic practice and has treated many members of my family, all of whom are happy with the outcome. I however remain a bit of a sceptic. Anyway, I had a consultation and was advised that...

Hi Glynis, Hi Mike. Thanks for your comments, that's really helpful and the 'file under not important' comment is true I am sure. Last night I totally zoned out and even though the background Tinnitus was still there, I wasn't conscious of it which is a really positive thing, shame it spiked...

Hi, first post on here and looking forward to reading some upbeat and positive stuff about coping with tinnitus. Mine started suddenly about 3-4 months ago following a period of prolonged stress. To start with, I had a couple of days 'on' and then there would be a few days with nothing at all...
