Both of my ears have high a high pitched ringing noise plus a hissing noise. Worse in my left ear.

Thank you @billie48! So glad you are doing well and finding happiness in spite of your T! I hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise...Enjoy!!! :)

Hi @billie48...I am doing ok. My tinnitus was improving until I stopped wearing my TMJ guard, now it's back to where it was which is upsetting. I have so many health issues....I was wearing it and all of a sudden I got excema on my lips which I think may have to do with an allergy to the...

@dpdx I feel your pain as I have had T & H since the middle of May of this year. It was absolutely horrible the first few months due to depression, stress, and anxiety. I truly thought I would never get better. I lost 20 pounds, I wasn't eating or sleeping, my stress and anxiety was through...

@aberob My ringing started from a loud concert in a small venue, however, I believe that my stress and anxiety cause me to clench my teeth more which worsened my TMJ and T. I only wear the splint at night, but it appears to be helping me. I hope that my T will eventually decrease during the...

@NewTDx I have my motorcycle license, however, after our friend crashed, I just ride on the back of my b/f's bike. I actually wanted to go for a ride last weekend as the weather was nice, but we didn't get to go. I feel confident though that next year I will be back to normal and doing what I...

@NewTDx I can totally relate to your story. I feel like I stopped living when my T & H started. I was afraid to do anything or go anywhere because I was terrified of making it worse. I am now starting to live my life again and wow did I miss it! I consider myself very lucky as my T is mild...

I have been with my boyfriend for almost 11 years and I recently got tested for both types of herpes viruses just because I wanted to know and I am negative. Just be careful when she feels one coming on and you should be fine. I usually don't kiss my boyfriend for about two weeks after his...

Hi @aberob...I have decided that life is short and I want to enjoy it again, so I started going out again. I now am drinking coffee and alcohol on occasion and although it may make my T spike at night, I am doing it anyway. When I go to restaurants & bars where it is too loud or there is a...

I have noticed that my T lately is gone or hardly noticeable when I wake up in the morning, however, when I get up and shower, it starts to become more noticeable and becomes louder as the day goes on. I am hoping that this means I will eventually get better as time goes on.

I am finding that Motrin reduces my T as well. All I can assume is that I have inflammation due to TMJ and the Motrin is helping reduce it. I take it occasion, but I'm trying not to take it too often as I want to see if my TMJ splint helps reduce the inflammation over time.

@Carlie Jackson Hi Carlie...my T was almost gone this morning and now it's louder since I got up. Is that how yours is? My T started with a concert in May, but I found out I also have TMJ and am on my fist week of wearing the splint. Mine is uncomfortable too, however, I am trying to give it...

I got mine a week and a half ago and it didn't affect my T. I know everyone reacts differently to things, however, I feel that getting the flu would affect my T in a very bad way and don't want to take chances. I also have asthma, so I get the flu shot every year.

@jjflyman Thank you for posting all of these success stories...they give us hope that someday the T could disappear! :)

@mattryp I totally understand where your coming from with the regret. I got my T and H at a loud concert that I didn't even enjoy. I told my b/f I wanted to leave but he couldn't hear me and I just stood there like an idiot when I should have gone outside and just waited for him there. He's...

I know it's early and I have only been wearing the TMJ splint for three nights, but I do notice a slight difference in my tinnitus in the mornings. It doesn't seem as loud. I am being optomistic and hoping that with continued use, it will continue to improve over the next few weeks. I don't care...

Thanks @jimH ...I hope it does! I have spent so much money this year on Dr appointments, I would love not to spend more on the device they want me to buy. It would be wonderful if it goes away on it's own...keeping my fingers crossed and staying optomistic! Although the past few days I feel...

@jimH Thank you Jim! So it is possible for hyperacusis to go away on it's own? I went yesterday to a sound therapy kind of clinic and spoke to an audiologist and she didn't answer me when I asked if it could clear up on it's own. It made me wonder if they won't admit that because they want me...

@billie48 Thank you for your response :) Not sure if I mentioned it but I have RA and Osteoarthritis and take several natural supplements for inflammation as I refuse to take any RA meds because they could cause numerous other issues like lymphoma as a side effect. I also take something called...

@DDD I also feel that my hyperacusis became worse due to my TMJ. It wasn't so severe in the beginning, but it has definitely gotten worse...I believe due to my TMJ. My stress and anxiety levels were so bad and I think that is what contributed to my H getting worse. Getting my TMJ splint next...

@Carlyl I have TMJ too and have been doing my own TMJ massages sometimes twice a day and I take one or two motrin for inflammation and i have notice an improvement. My ears aren't stuffy anymore, so I do believe the massages are helping. Still have ear pain in my left ear when I yawn though...

So good to hear that you guys are doing better with the TMJ splint/mouth guard! I got fitted recently for one and should get it on the 25th of this month. I hope that I will have success like you guys are having! My T started with a loud concert but I believe became worse due to extreme...

Trying to remain positive and optimistic!

@billie48 Thank you so much for your success story! It's wonderful to hear that it is possible to live a happy life again! I have been suffering with tinnitus and hyperacusis since May 2017 due to attending a loud concert in a small indoor venue. The tinnitus and wasn't too bad at first...

I am so happy to hear your success story! I remain optimistic that mine too will go away in time. I have tinnitus in both ears and hyperacousis. It started with a loud concert, but I feel that stress and anxiety made my TMJ worse and I think that is why my tinnitus, stuffy ears and...

I went for my massage on Sunday and he worked on my TMJ for a half hour. I felt great when I left and by the next morning my tinnitus was about 90% gone (I was so happy!), however, after taking a shower I had a set back. :( The usual thing happened and my left ear plugged up once again and...

Hi GR228, I too got tinnitus after going to a concert in May. I have been to my General Dr., ENT's, TMJ Specialist, massage therapist and soon to a sound therapy clinic. I have tried all kinds of supplements, not sure if they are helping at all as I haven't stopped taking them. My ears...

Thank you for your response moonscape! I'm sorry you are going through this too. I wish you luck as well!

Thank you for your responses Vicki14 and Victoria9273. I am so glad I can talk to other people in the same situation as me and everyone is so nice! I am trying to cope the best I can with my Tinnitus and Hyperacusis. I have to say today was a good day as my left ear seemed to unplug which...

Thank you Kolisar and Glynis. You have made me feel very welcome! I'm so glad I have people I can talk to about this that can relate! My boyfriend doesn't understand and he gets frustrated with me and I with him. He always wants to go to listen to bands and concerts and at this point I have...

Thank you Kolisar...it's nice to know I'm not alone and there are people out there that can relate to what I'm going through! I'm having a rough couple of days this past week with my tinnitus and plugged ears getting worse for some reason and it's very upsetting. :(

Hi Ben, It's nice to meet you! Thank you for your response. I'm trying to stay positive, but this past week the ringing and plugged up ears is getting worse and I'm not sure why. It's making my stress and anxiety worse and I'm so scared it will continue to get worse. I was doing well with...

Thank you for your response Vincent...I will definitely read it! I see you are from Sweden! My dad was born and raised there!

Thank you so much Kolisar...It's so nice to meet you and thank you so much for the information! I am trying very hard to stay positive. I was not in a good place for the first few months, however, I am trying to learn to live with it the best I can. I try to avoid quiet places and use a fan...

My tinnitus started after a loud concert that my b/f wanted to go to. I didn't even like the band, lol. Anyway, I've been struggling with it since then along with a whole bunch of other things. My anxiety and stress went through the roof, which I'm sure hasn't helped things. I also have...
