    Audiologist Round 2

    Hi guys, hope you're all doing okay, hope your day is going well for you all. So I had my second Audiology appointment last week. My Audiologist puzzles me somewhat, as he doesn't seem to think Tinnitus is that big of a deal. He talked about how /everybody/ has tinnitus, says everyone is...

    Went to See an Audiologist Today

    Was in with him for an hour and he reckons he has tinnitus but can only hear it when he gets a cold. Dunno but I'm pretty sure people's can get permanently worse? Not according to him.

    Went to See an Audiologist Today

    went to see an audiologist and he said a lot of stuff I felt unsure of afterwards. For example, I've had tinnitus for over a year now and most of the time it's quite mild, it fluctuates sometimes but other than that it's OK. I got it after a night of clubbing and a bad head cold. Anyway. He told...

    Are Theatres as Bad as Cinemas?

Really want to go see Mary Poppins as it's touring haha but seeing as it's a musical I guess it's going to have some loud bits just wondered if anyone knows if it'll be that bad? 2015 is the year I got my T and I've become a bit of a recluse because of...

    Cinema... / Earphones

    Yeah I try warning him about it becoming chronic but his usual response is that everyone gets it after going out. Hm sad thing is it was my second night out and I got it never even experienced it before but when I woke up was still there. My dads had it for fifteen years but he just woke up...

    Cinema... / Earphones

    Do they take a lot of getting used to? The other night I tried playing some supposedly relaxing noise whilst I tried to sleep and I hated it didn't even have it on loud. The crazy thing is my brother gets it every time he goes clubbing but it always goes next morning and I even say you could...

    Cinema... / Earphones

    Thanks everyone for your replies. Michael, don't apologise because I'd much rather you were honest and I appreciate your opinions and I think I'm just going to leave them alone now. My earphones that is, which I find hard but I find it harder lying in bed listening to this never ending noise...

    Cinema... / Earphones

    Hey guys. This is two separate things really but similar I guess. 1. Does anyone with reactive T, or I guess just T that gets louder with loud noise, and people with sensitivity to loud noises, do you still go to the cinema? I absolutely used to love going and the noise never hurt my ears. Since...

    Tinnitus Woke Me Up in the Middle of the Night?

    It took about two hours to go down to a normal level didn't get to sleep till past 4 :( And honestly I'm not sure what caused it, it started after my second night out in my life but I also had a really nasty ear infection at the same time so I can't say. Normally I can sleep without any sound...

    Tinnitus Woke Me Up in the Middle of the Night?

    this only used to happen at beginning and now nearly eight months on I've literally just woke up its nearly half two in the morning and my head was just full of this really loud tone and it sort of got a bit quieter but it's still there along with my usual static noise which seems louder. I feel...

    My Tinnitus Constantly Fluctuates/Changes Noises?

    Hey guys. I've had Tinnitus for over 7 months now and I don't know about everyone else's but mine just constantly changes. Sometimes it'll be a static noise and sometimes I'll have static in both ears with a tone in one ear or I hear like crickets etc and some days it's louder some quieter. I...

    Oh right haha wondered why everyone was quoting everything! Um no, had to be referred by my GP, my appointment is mid July, just seriously hoping it will clear up. I'm trying to put on more weight in case it's because there's not enough fatty cells on my tube which I read somewhere could be part...

    New to All This.

    At the moment the main thing bothering me is this Autophony. I don't get it. The other week I went a whole week without it, my ear still felt full but I didn't get the other effects. Then I mentioned it to my Mum one morning that I hadn't had it in a while, and as if fate was just waiting to...

    At this momement in time my T is perhaps a 3/4 out of 10. But guaranteed it will be different in another 24 hours. As for the H it's probably a 8 when it happens. Stuff like when my dog barks, never used to bother me but now I almost flinch at the sound of it. I went to see a show a few weeks...

    I hope so, I hate it. What scares me about T is that it is so unpredictable in the sense you can have bad days and good for no apparent reason. I don't get people who can go clubbing almost religiously every weekend and walk away unscathed and then I go out on the odd occasion and end up with...

    I can't even pop my ears for relief it seems to just make them even more full. I also constantly feel the need to clear my throat but to be fair I've had that for years but when I try now it seems to make me go deaf in my left ear, then I swallow, but then my tubes stay open. I almost think...

    Hey guys. I'm Amy, I'm 22 and my current symptoms are: Tinnitus (both ears) Autophony (which seems to just be in my left ear) Hyperacusis. My nightmare began mid March. I'd had a bad head cold for a week, and my immune system is pretty bad anyway because I guess I'm not that healthy, and...
