    Headphones — Should I Stop Using Them?

    Hey everyone, I got tinnitus a year and a half ago. I'm habituated now, and I've been to loud events, concerts, movies, clubs, etc. With protection and haven't noticed spikes or any change in the volume of my tinnitus. Nevertheless I've stayed away from headphone use because of things that...

    Success Story! One Year and Four Months Later Everything Is Back to Normal

    Yup. I think it got softer and softer. Mine wasn't that loud, you know? I still could only hear it in silence but now it's different. I don't know how to explain it? Basically it was a tone before that faded and now i'm stuck with a white noise around my ears so it's not that noticeable and it's...

    Success Story! One Year and Four Months Later Everything Is Back to Normal

    Ear Fullness... Help Me

    Hi everyone I was doing so much better! Last week my CBT therapist told me to try and avoid thinking about tinnitus, and I did... I couldn't hear the tone at all, and the buzzing was there but almost unnoticeable. Yesterday I went to a bar with loud music (I had done this before with zero...
