Old thread, but relevant: A few days before my T started I noticed a "rushing" sound in my ears when I bent over and when I looked it up I learned of tinnitus...

I've learned that I can effectively fight tinnitus through the use of staying active, going to work and using white noise to sleep. All this said, I'm tired of the fight. I don't want to fight tinnitus. I want to be done fighting because it's exhausting. I feel like T has robbed me of the...

No hearing loss according to my ENT! He actually says I have great hearing! :)

1 or 2. Only hear it in quiet or plugged ears. Music sounds fine. Emotions have been terrible. I'm on Lexapro for anxiety and the T has made my anxiety even worse.

I have played in a rock band the past two years and unfortunately I did not use ear protection... That being said, it was only for two years and I'm only 18. When my T started I hadn't played music in a month. I have excellent hearing according to the ENT I saw (after an audiologist did my...

Hey guys, Both of my ears ring but my left is far worse. I would describe the ringing in my right ear as "normal" or something that I probably would have never though twice about. My left ear however is annoying and it "hisses." The ringing from my left ear is audible in a quiet room and...

Mine is anxiety-induced so I'm on Lexapro and I use melatonin to help sleep. :)

Really? That's very interesting. Feel free to message me. Would love to discuss more...

No. Yes. No. Circle. Blue. Yes. Yes.

My T started December 20th. Laying in bed that night I heard my ear ringing and so began my journey. Although I guess the journey had started some time before that as I was at a low point with my anxiety. I was convinced I had heart problems and was soon to die (I'm a healthy 18 year old). But...

I'm starting to learn how common T is and somehow it's made my experience a bit easier. Since I've been going around talking about it I've learned that my aunt (not blood) has it since her teens, my grandma (not blood) had it since her 20s, my other grandma (blood) is completely deaf in one ear...

Well it's good to hear from someone who can relate! I'm younger so I don't have as many stories but in the past few months I was 100% convinced I had cancer, followed by IBS, then I though I had a heart attack. All of those things are not true and I am totally healthy but then in the midst of it...

. Hmm, it's not a bad idea but I really doubt that's my issue. I would describe myself as a hypochondriac and prior to T I was doing a lot of tests to check just about everything. As you can imagine this included blood pressure which always came up fine. Also I'm 18 years old and in fairly...

Yesterday I went to the gym. It's been awhile since I worked out and am looking forward to getting back into it. Something weird happened though. When I was really into my workout and doing some more demanding exercises my left ear (the one effected the most by T) felt clogged and blocked up...

I had depersonalization for about a month close to a year ago. That was before my tinnitus though. Mine started after smoking too much pot and getting really high during a time in my life where I was very anxious/depressed... It lasted about a month and finally cleared up when I filled my life...

I've been doing considerably better with my tinnitus since onset. I've been able to concentrate more in college and have returned to work. I can now enjoy some things that seemed impossible before. However, every day I am catering to my tinnitus. Every day it is on my mind when I wake up and on...

@glynis surely depression and anxiety cannot cause something permanent though, right?

My ears have been ringing three weeks now and it started seemingly randomly. I'm seeing an ENT in two days and am looking forward to getting to the bottom of this, but in the mean time I've been trying to figure out what is causing it. I had been in a deep depression for weeks prior to the onset...

My ear has been ringing for 3 weeks and thank god I am finally seeing an ENT this week. Anyway, I've also noticed that when I'm near an older TV it makes a screeching sound in my ear only audible to me and far louder than anything else in the environment. For example, last night I went out to a...

I keep noticing this intermittent "chirp" in my ear. It accompanies my consistent ringing but it happens seemingly randomly. It sounds like a small bird chirping once in my ear, at a very high pitch. Although the chirp is louder if the environment is louder and quiet in a quiet room. When it...

@nills i woke in the middle of the night. My room was pitch black but when I closed my eyes I could see bright patterns. So bright it hurt my eyes and obviously scared me.

@Zorro! I was on Zoloft for anxiety and about 3 days into the medication is when my Tinnitus started, so I stopped taking it and am still scared to start anything back up as I'm afraid it had something to do with it. I was reacting really bad to the Zoloft, and even experienced what I'd call...

@glynis in the beginning I was masking it easily with my TV but now my TV makes the ringing react, I don't get it

My T started 2 weeks ago with no obvious cause. I was in a major phase of anxiety as outlined in a previous post, but the ringing started spontaneously. I have a history of loud music from playing in a band but I hadn't exposed myself to anything too loud in over a month before the onset. In...

Hey guys. I'm a 19 year old college student living at home. My ringing started a little less than two weeks ago, but to understand my situation I'm going to explain the past month: Early December I was going through a lot of stress because I was paranoid about my digestive system. I spent two...
