Hi guys, I just wanted to share something that works for me to calm down the “loose wires” sounds I get some days: I eat popping candy (pop rocks). I don’t know why or could not tell you that there’s a science behind it, but every time my head is clicking and sounds like electrical wires are...

Just been living with tinnitus basically.

Bad spike this morning. Been bugging me all day but could be lack of a proper sleep schedule.

Sure the sound is annoying but what’s worse is the tingly feeling. Does anyone else get that?

Dealing with a spike right now. Mostly because I went out without ear defenders.

Soooo a roller coaster over the past few weeks haha. Not tinnitus related but the stress has made me forget about it so that’s good haha

Went to the doctor apparently I don't have hay fever, it's an infection.. anyways got prescribed doxycycline.

So lately I’ve been having severe allergies and the only thing that’s helped is Sudafed. But now my left ear has started ringing. I suspect it’s due to allergies. Hopefully it calms eventually. I’m not used to the weird single pure tone. :(

My tinnitus is getting back to "normal" today. Which is funny cuz I almost find comfort in my normal sound hahaha

Developed a single pure tone in left ear. Might be due to allergies tho.

This year has been so shit for my tinnitus.

Once the wire is out I’ll post a picture haha. Don’t want to fuel my hypochondria until it’s been safely removed.

Does anyone know if I will receive a letter or a call for my urgent ENT appointment thru the NHS?

I’ll report back once the wire has been removed. It probably won’t make much difference to my overall T but a few things make sense now.

Been referred to an ENT to remove a metal wire in my ear, does anyone know how long it takes to receive an urgent referral?

So it appears I have a small metallic wire stuck in my ear. Been referred to an ENT to remove it. WEIRD.

Sunday Monday Tuesday tinnitus has been pretty quiet. Let’s see how long this lasts!

After a hellish day yesterday today my T is really low. This spike is the worst one to date.

T seems to be back to spike mode. Was a nice 2 days of quiet.

Tinnitus is very quiet and the static seems to have gone completely for now.

Not yet, I have a doctor's appointment on the 23rd. But usually then there’s a lengthy referral process. I am starting to think I should just look into other options.

Thanks. I experienced a flutter before but right now it’s definitely static and a high pitch whirr.

That is very interesting. Hopefully “rare” not meaning untreatable? Do you have any good threads on finding more information on this? I have had a quick look myself. I don’t have tapping or thumping but I do experience it every couple of years.

I like this plan. Honestly, I did this a while back as well and have been doing this over the past few years. It has worked for me, however it is interesting to listen to as at a certain point the ringing actually stops and all I am left with is a sound like wind and a single static noise...

I definitely feel my tinnitus. It's like a zapping going on inside my head, it doesn't hurt necessarily but sometimes it feels like a burning sensation (when I'm going through a spike). I would say that it usually feels more like a tickle right in the middle of my head, just flickering away. I...

Pulsatile tinnitus is gone. However I am dealing with a spike. Not sure if they’re related.

So today, my hearing is back to "normal" however, my T has been buzzing all day a bit louder.

Ear has been ringing very loudly all night. Very frustrated

My hearing was muffled and tinnitus got really loud. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Was just asleep, my hearing almost went out on my right ear. Tinnitus has gone mad loud suddenly and slowly coming back.

Today the pulsating has clamed down a lot. I can hear it very faintly even in the quiet. Not sure how tomorrow will be!

Sounds like a windy washing machine in my ear.

It's finally happened, I developed pulsatile tinnitus. It was one of my greatest fears but just have to get on with it, I suppose.

Last night my tinnitus got reallly loud and my hearing went down for about an hour. Scary but I'm back to normal today.

hello everyone, hope you're doing okay. It's been about 5 years now with my little friend. I'm alright haha

Does anyone else experience a spike when they have indigestion? Might be a coincidence but usually happens when I have heartburn.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I haven't logged on in ages. They did not help me, to be honest the only thing that truly seems to have made a difference this year was taking CBD oil and doing myofascial release exercises. Thanks.

Just checking in again, things are okay. New sounds in my left ear which appeared about 8 months ago but i'm fine overall.

I massaged my jaw a few moments ago and has somehow given me some sort of relief.

Definitely not quite the same BUT I think the metaphor is very clear here. Thanks for sharing. This was very insightful and I actually found it inspiring.

I'm definitely not the Dalai Lama haha. But I agree and I would also say that I am in the "severe" category with my tinnitus. It's definitely really loud, I would even say that I can feel my tinnitus as little shocks and almost a burning sensation inside my head. However, I think there's a...

I think I get you; like taming the beast by confronting it? I find that this experiment was helpful to me because I no longer really say "I hear a whistling." It's like I can hear it yes, but it's actually the "combination" of multiple sounds that create a sound like a whistle. Haha sorry, it's...

Hi guys, Here is something that I have done for quite some time now. I've done this for years and I don't really know what to do with this or how it helps but I hope that maybe it can provide some sort of data for anyone studying tinnitus? I've brought this up to my ENT but unfortunately they...

I want to make a video speaking about my tinnitus but I find it difficult because although I feel I have habituated, I still struggle.
