    Habituation May Not Be What You Think It Is...

    I thought habituation is the brain filtering out the sound because it's "used to it"?

    How Can You Habituate to HIGH FREQUENCY Tinnitus?

    I have exactly the same. Every 4-5 days I get a high pitched circular saw spinning at ~14 kHz inside my head. I can mask it with pink noise (the Android app is called "Relief" from ReSound and is free). Funny thing is, when I mask it for 4-5 hours and remove the headphones, it is COMPLETELY GONE...

    To Mask or Not to Mask... That Is the Question!

    Whenever I mask my tinnitus, it goes away for like 1-2 hours but mfker always comes back stronger then.

    Tinnitus Wins. There Is Nothing I Can Do About It. This Is My Testimony of Surrender.

    I've had tinnitus for one year and 1 month. It came with a sudden hearing loss in the left ear. Transformed into a highly fluctuating, ultra high pitched (14 kHz) spinning chainsaw inside my head. So there are days where I hear only crickets chirping or nothing at all, but then there are days...

    Tinnitus Wins. There Is Nothing I Can Do About It. This Is My Testimony of Surrender.

    Yeah so exactly 1 year ago I got sudden hearing loss with tinnitus and extreme vertigo. ENT had no clue what caused it. 2 weeks later vertigo and hearing loss was gone but tinnitus stayed. I have been actively monitoring my tinnitus because for me it is super fluctuative. There are days where I...

    Be Honest. Do You Still Enjoy Life?

    Well I can clearly say that My QoL went down roughly by 70-80% since developing my tinnitus 10 months ago. I often see photos of the time before it entered my life and I think "Look how happy you are... Nothing to bother about". Now I go to sleep with the fear of waking up to a spike the next...

    Highly Fluctuating Tinnitus/Spikes... Confused.

    Wow this is so creepy. Whatever you write, I have 100% the same. I also got it after I had vertigo for 2 weeks. I usually have 2-3 good (quiet) days, then a shit day where the tinnitus is super high pitched and super loud directly inside the brain. Then I go to bed and wake up in (almost)...

    Tinnitus Wins. There Is Nothing I Can Do About It. This Is My Testimony of Surrender.

    Thank you all for your replies. Something really strange happened after I posted this. About 1 week later (around Christmas) my tinnitus was suuuper quiet for like 1 week. I first thought of it to be a miracle but I could really really enjoy the holidays. As soon as I started working again...

    GABA Supplements (Including Picamilon)

    Hey there, I wanted to give a short update. I have been taking GABA (750 mg) on a daily basis for 3 weeks now. Sadly, it looks like it has no effect at all... I will give fasting (18/6) a try!

    My Turn for Your Support — Woke Up with Sudden Hearing Loss and Severe Vertigo

    Hi there. I experienced the same like you, twice actually. The vertigo was so bad I had to stay in bed for 14 days. Could not event walk to the toilet alone. It's an inflammation of your inner ear balance nerve. Get some steroids ASAP, they will help. And don't worry too much. It will completely...

    Tinnitus Wins. There Is Nothing I Can Do About It. This Is My Testimony of Surrender.

    First of all: Don't worry. This is not about suicide or anything related. I am mentally stable. I just want to testify my surrender to tinnitus. It started in April 2020 after Sudden Hearing Loss. High-Pitched whistle sound in the left ear (12,000 Hz). Doctors told me don't worry, it will go...

    Thank you for your reply. Yes I am at around 14000 Hz. I am still in the "trying everything that could possibly help" phase, so I will definitely give it a try :).

    Why Does My Tinnitus Never Stabilize? Constanty Changing — Having Trouble Habituating

    No... In April I had vestibular neuropathia with extreme vertigo. It vanished after 2 weeks but suddenly there was the tinnitus like out of nothing.

    Dramatically Changing Tinnitus — Daily from 1 to 100: How Is This Possible?

    Hi man, sorry to hear that. I have had tinnitus since April 2020 and I also have a very high daily fluctuation. One day I wake up with silence, one day I wake up with loud screaming. Got a sucky tinnitus frequency at 14000 Hz. I find it really really hard to habituate to such a ever changing noise.

    Tinnitracks — A New Audio App Claims to Treat Tinnitus

    I'm living in Germany and since my insurance covers this, I'm giving Tinnitracks a try. I've been doing it since June now, and there it definitely has some effect on my tinnitus. Some days when I have that high pitched tinnitus (12700 Hz) in my ear, I immediately put on my headphones and...

    Hellishly High-Pitched Tinnitus Seems to Be Gone, Along with My General Head Tinnitus

    Hi I am really happy for you that your hell sound has disappeared. I myself am more or less in the same boat. Since a sudden hearing loss in April I am tortured with a super high pitched 14 kHz sound. Sometimes it's in my left ear (maskable with music), sometimes it's in the middle of my head...

    GABA Supplements (Including Picamilon)

    So I have read lots about the possible positive effect of GABA on tinnitus and want to try it. But the more I research about it, the more often I read stuff like "GABA can't pass the Blood-Brain Barrier and therefore won't affect the neurotransmitters in the brain". What are your experiences...

    Why Does My Tinnitus Never Stabilize? Constanty Changing — Having Trouble Habituating

    Hi there, I am 7 months in and it didn't stabilize yet. I have silent days (small cricket chirping in my ear), mediocre days (a distant whistle sound) and hell days (some mfker blowing a constant 14 000 Hz whistle directly inside my brain). There is no pattern to it, nor can I influence it in...

    Thank you for the kind response. I find it much harder to habituate to that ever changing randomness. I really wish that It would become a constant noise so I can start habituating to it..

    I started tracking it because I want to see if it gets better over long time. But that randomness just won't go away.I am nevertheless still hoping that a portion of my damaged hair cells will eventually recover. I know it is a very long process and it can take years.

    @Ricardo1991 This is something I have read very often. Funny thing is, I tried EXACTLY this starting November 1st. I didn't track my T anymore and just tried to accept it, hoping it would make it more bearable. But somehow it feels like November is a very loud month so far.

    Thank you so much for the kind words. I keep telling myself it's getting better since 7 months each day. I'm getting tired of this... The hardest part is to work while having a spike (14 000 HZ you can't mask that shit). I am working as a software engineer and really need to concentrate hard.
