Thank you everyone, for all the hope you've given me.

Let me start by saying that I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. This diagnosis came to me at roughly 10-12 years of age (not sure of when, exactly). I was bullied throughout my entire school life, which is what caused (and worsened) the condition. I've since been in and out of...

Usually when I'm dozing off. If I'm not stressed and if I'm not lying down, I can hear silence. But if I'm releasing any tension in my body, and if I'm focusing on it, it gets loud. It also changes pitches, depending on if I am plugging my ears or not.

I've had tinnitus for at least three years, and I'm starting to think it will always be this way. I am on the verge of tears, desperately seeking answers. People say they've gotten better within a couple weeks to a couple years. But two years have already passed for me. I feel like my time for...

A couple nights ago, I was so stressed out that I started to cry, cry, and cry. I cried so hard that I ended up completely warping my tinnitus for a minute and a half. What was once a series of tonal whines that changed in pitch depending on which ear I was focusing on, became a low rumble and...

I'm going to go for one whole week without headphones or earbuds, at any point at all! I'm already one day in, and I'm seeing some progress.

You slipped him a steroid? Does he know it's in his system, and how did his body react? If he is not supposed to be taking it anyways, it would be best not to do that again (provided you have already done so). From what I'm reading, that medication should only be available by doctor's...

Please be careful! Loud noise is the mortal enemy of tinnitus sufferers, whether that was the cause or not. I don't want to sound like your mother, but tinnitus is a monster. Please try to avoid any further ear damage if possible. Rooting for you otherwise, and congratulations on habituating! :)

This is a really good question, first of all! As for my story: When I was still working at a dollar store, my manager wanted to install a metal detector at the front door. This meant construction workers would show up at the front of the store, where I was stationed, and drill to their hearts...

I thought this was something I should mention, I wonder whether or not this is something that relates to others. Basically, I had some neck pain for a few days and it was just along the back of my neck. It was enough to drive me nuts, so I just grabbed my neck and began to massage it firmly. I...

My tinnitus gets worse whenever I lay down, I get back up and then I'm fine. Same goes when trying to relax. Gets worse until I stop trying.

I don't think this case is extremely out of the ordinary, for this reason: When you masturbate and climax, your blood will rush to various parts of your body (including your groin and head). Your blood pressure should be higher during sexual activity, which can upset existing tinnitus or be the...

Thank you, Gabriel. Anxiety can be a savage, as I'm starting to learn. I'm worried that even the softest of music or noise will continue to damage my hearing, making tinnitus worse. I guess that shouldn't be causing problems, as opposed to stress. It's calming down as I type this, and I think my...

I was listening to soft music (no headphones or earbuds) and I was dancing around my room, but then I got a fullness in my ears and hissing! Usually these things last for five to ten seconds, but this one has been going on for five minutes and I can't make it go away! I put some ear drops...

Thank you for this, Daniel! You've no idea how much better this makes me feel. I hope it fades for me.

I have had tinnitus since November 17th, 2017. I was 18 years old at the time. I remember the date exactly, because of the impact it had on me. I was listening to very loud music with my earbuds, which is the worst thing I could have done, and all of the sudden I get this piercing ringing in...

Even the smallest whisper can sound like a deafening scream

"The whole thing takes 2-3 months to fully realize the results." You made this post on February 2nd, 2019 and it is now July 20th, 2019. Five months have passed. What were the final results, and how does one go there? I will do anything at this point.
