Hey alue, what's up, how ya been. I hate loud obnoxious talkers to. But they dont understand, especially a stranger. Hang out with people that understand man. Theres a time to have fun and put up with it, and then theres not. Gotta choose who you do that with.

Stop checking/monitoring your tinnitus. It just keeps reminding you of it. And then you stay in the cycle of tinnitus constantly being on your mind. Its gonna do what its gonna do anyway. Stop making it a priority. Make something else your priority besides the tinnitus.

Never track your tinnitus, especially having a alarm going off to gage it. Bad idea.

Hey @Bill Bauer, I seem to be getting less spikes now. I haven't changed anything, still do the same stuff as before. My advice to Angus would be stop freaking out, it happened, and do not dwell on the tinnitus going away that's not gonna help the situation. Just focus on doing things to keep...

Those seem to never stop either don't they.

I'm doing alright, have good and bad days like most people but for the most part I'm doing pretty good. How you doing?

I'd trade with anyone who doesn't have high frequency sounds. It cuts through everything. I've always wondered what kind of noise other people are hearing. Like my dad said his sounds like a bee hive and it never changes. A friend of mine said his is like keys jangling. It's hard to describe...

Hang in there, it does get better in time. Just gotta take it slow. 8 weeks is very new. When bad days come do something you enjoy that makes you happy and try to forget about the noise for awhile to boost your spirit back up again.

I know how ya feel, I'm at 80db at 4k.

This masked mine in the beginning. Hope it helps.

How would it do against a chainsaw you think?

How well does this work? Is it the same as normal muffs?

@HeidiB

I use 80%vg 20%pg

I have fullness/plugged feeling, clicking 24/7. Pain off and on. But it's not because of hearing normal everyday noises.

I hear those noises all the time. I used to go in panic mode when it would happen. The intercom at the grocery store, even the beeps from the scanners. I couldn't even stand somebody standing in front me talking. When I realized it wasn't hurting anything and it was just anxiety and obsession of...

Excellent choice. Glynis is the most awesome.

Making a murderer is a must watch. I finished it in one day.

I've recently got hooked on wild turkey American honey because of a sore throat. It took away the sore throat in one night and it completely demolishes my tinnitus.

Loud noises spike mine for sure

I feel the same as before, I quit posting for a while because I know what's causing my spikes/worsenings.

It's not constant, but it's frequent for 10 hours a day. This is not normal everyday exposure for most people. It has most definitely affected my volume. If someone keeps exposing themselves to decibels like that on a regular basis then yeah, expect a increase.

@Bill Bauer, I finally had the guts to test the chipper. It peaked at 125db when limbs were going through, around 110 or so with it just running.

Glynis was the first person I reached out to, she took me under her wing and pretty much saved my life. I am forever grateful and will never forget her for as long as I live.

Be careful doing anything apparently. It's to much.

I just took Tylenol when I had the flu.

Me to cause I was on way to restoring a classic muscle car and building a motor for it before my onset.

I try to stay positive about the things in my life, whenever I get down about it, I remember when you said it took you 4 years to habituate. Then I tell myself, time. Just take your time. I know the details you're talking about, so I won't say anything about it either. I'm a little over a year...

She doesn't

I liked the movie to.

Beavis and butthead, family guy, South park. And a old favorite from long time ago, dominion tank police.

I am too, it saved me from becoming addicted and becoming dependent from benzo and sleeping pills. I would have it very much worse than I already do if it wasn't for this forum.

Trust me it does. Every time.

You gotta take supplements for at least 2 months to fully get in your system .

Beer lowers my tinnitus, if I get drunk I don't really hear it at all. I don't do whiskey or other hard stuff except a Moscow mule once in a while. As for supplements I myself haven't had any impact from them. But others have with magnesium mostly.

Wishing you well lex, keep on truckin

Sad isn't it.

I don't think I've noticed a spike from food other than Casey's pizza. That seems to spike it. Loud noises spike mine.

Since onset I can't even count how many different sounds I have heard, I just let it do it's thing cause there's nothing else to do but that. You're not about to die, it's just a noise that we think is a threat, but it's not. Stop thinking about what you can hear it over and start thinking about...

I'll second everything the above posters just said. My audiologist told me about a guy that was fed up with it and had his cut. It moved from his ear to his head (brain tinnitus). I strongly recommend you don't do it.

50 to 75% reduction would change many people's lives. Hopefully it'll get there some day.

At this point I don't think about a cure, just improvement.

Do you demand 100% silence to be cured?

What's a cure worth to you?

You got that right sir.

I love the weekends, gives my ears a chance to recover a tiny bit from my loud ass job, play some games, go fishing, camping, be lazy, fix stuff, drink to much.

I'd need about 3 or 4 turbos to mask mine .

I get more mad at the insane amount of money being spent on plain stupid shit than I would TRT. If TRT can help anybody with this god awful noise why be mad at that?

I've had tinnitus for little over a year now, it has increased quite a bit since onset, but it was due to things out of my control. How significant was this increase?

Same here, but I'm working on changing that this year.

I have no idea what religion I am

If anyone has severe hearing loss would this still help since you need to hear the tones?

I deal with one everyday, they're 120db. Yeah for a 36inch log you'll need a big ground saw like a Sthil 361, extremely loud. I've managed to avoid the big saw so far.

Dam fishbone, you getting r done for real!

Did you have a bad experience with one regarding your tinnitus?

They've told me nothing

Same here my tinnitus is absolutely terrible in the morning or whenever I wake up. It's impossible for me to take a nap though, even pre T I never took naps.

I don't know if it's my work or if I have something else going on. But this past year I've lost a lot of decibels which has made my tinnitus way louder.

Yeah, I've never flown, ever. I'd rather drive I suppose. I've also never been to a concert either in my life, it's ok, I said it. Lol.
