I Don't think so. Maybe everything around would became louder to mask it. It's much easier than research.

At a big stadium I think there is not as big risk as in smaller hall. With foam plugs should be no problem. So - how was the show?

1. no (or maybe only slightly) 2. if i drink more (and more and more) it became much more louder! 3. never drinking in the morning 4. either it is lower, or at least i am not concerned about it

Well, my estimation is that 200 years from now.... ...an aliens will land on the Earth, will say "oh, you don't have a cure for tinnitus yet? Here you are."

My T never gets louder after listening live music with protection. It only changes time to time without any noticeable reasons.

I am going to visit a music festival this weekend. Two days of hard underground music. Would like to say I am looking forward, but... There is no problem with loud music, I will protect my ears of course and I know I will bear it. I am feeling depressed for last couple weeks. Having the worst...

I had the same testing like Alue a few times. I think problem is in used method. T cannot be exactly measured as it is not perception. They used frequency corresponding to my hearing loss, but different colouring. Result was about 50db but still able to hear it. Maybe because my T is reactive...

No joy, only everyday getting to work, twisted on my chair and stare to a monitor for 8 hrs when trying to concentrate. Then back home, where noone is waiting for me. No plans for future. As well, trying not to think about my past life - because i KNOW FOR SURE if I compare good and bad moments...

I've just bought a pair of alpine ear plugs. On top of that it is pretty expensive, I am sure it's not so effective for noise reduction, compared to foam plugs. But anyway i'll give it a try... hope that it will not cause problems.. Allways used just simply crumpled tissue, or later foam plugs...

Agree with Ed209 and Michael. I just want to add a note, that personality type maybe VERY important for acceptance - imagine a person, who needs people around and talk to somebody all the time. Of course everybody needs a time off, be alone and just relax in silence, but for some people it is...

So you mean also exercise? Which increasing pulse? Anyway... I've never been a fan of coffee (drink a lot of tea instead), but started to drink it - let's say regularly - about two years ago. Not much, compared to other people. My tinnitus got worse, but I strongly doubt there can be any...

I had really bad insomnia at age 12 to 22 (or so). Can't imagine this in combination with T. I feel very sorry for you. Today it is like opposite extreme - I feel tired and can fall asleep quickly every day. Don't know why. It is not good, but still better than insomnia I had - and even did not...

Well, illness can be caused by viruses or bacteria which has it's own evolution. It can't be never beaten, but at least medicine can achieve draw. But tinnitus is a symptom, not illness.

Poor guy :-( it must be a terrible moment for him. I can feel his despair turned into anger. Even such huge cheering crowd who loves you is not worth. I know I will be inconvenient, but can't help myself... what if it is ok like this. There is so much noise around us nowadays... more than...

I also have bad feeling about my family disposition. My father had severe hearing loss (caused by noisy work environment - never used protection). Some of our oldest family members have hearing loss. Of course it is age related, but seems to be above-average to me, as they lived whole life at...

Never been in a relationship, nor before i get T nor after...

Me too :-) Not using medication now, but I liked this side effect.

Hmm what a coincidence, yesterday I also thought about starting such topic. Cause I wondered if there tinnitus is present in your dreams. As I can see, it varies from person to person... So, there is no T in my dreams. Maybe only two or three times it happened. I can remember my dreams well, I...

Hi all. I would like to share what happened to me last night. I had an awful dream. The worst type of nightmare to me... where something bad is happening to your closest relative. (Maybe most of us know it, happy who don't). So I woke up. As i was lying on my bed in completely dark room...

Just my humble opinion: What if those spikes after being in loud tiresome environment are caused not by cells fatigue (or damage)? What if it is just brain excitedness, because it must process too much hearing information at a time? Yet spikes can occure also when you are tired/stressed, no...

Nothing new. Life is a bitch and what is amusing can harm you - I already knew it before I get T. Well... maybe one thing: that modern medicine is totally helpless when problem is related to nerves and brain.

I am open to believe that there is an intelligent powerful entity somewhere in the outer space, which either can't affect mankind, or can only destroy us. Not help us, in no wise to save one single person from suffering. Even if such entity was our creator (so can be called the God), what would...

- used to have ear fullness, but now it is fortunately gone - tinnitus itself ("poisonous" high pitched hisss tone - half sonds like in ear, but more like inside head) - hyperacusis - reactive T - inability concentrate - depression - anxiety - hearing loss - so i often can't recognize speech...

Don't think psychopaths can't suffer with their's condition. This thought is wrong. I think that wish 1) of such person is not to be mentally abnormal and wish 2) not to have tinnitus (order can be changed, depends on how severe tinnitus we are talking about)

See? Nobody would use version "Tinnitus is beautiful"

I was on a birthday party last weekend: drunk alcohol and listening to a loud rock music (not dangerous volume level i guess). I went to bed early - just wanted not to be too drunk and feel fresh next morning. I put my ear plugs in. Guess what... SILENCE. It was wonderful. Fallen asleep pretty...

Also veterans of WW1 were in horrible conditions. Don't know if some of them used ear plugs, but anyway there were many nerve injuries because of intensive close bombardment. Not only tinnitus, but uncurable traumatic injuries of brain which results in unstoppable limbs shaking and chronic pain...

Exactly! If silence is NOTHING and noise is SOMETHING, why the f*ck is brain wasting energy to create something that is completely useless? According many researches, saving energy is #1 priority for brain and living organisms overall.

Actually in both ears, but only slight in left (noticeable only in complete silence), and much worse in right. I wondered the whole time, why is it like this, when my audiogram is the same for both ears? But recently doctor noted that it is NOT the same. There is bigger loss at 1000-1500 Hz on...

For how long Jesus suffered on a cross? A few hours? If they wanted to torture him, they just could cause him tinnitus and let him go...

Well, dogs can hear much better than people. And you can notice, that they don't care much to avoid loud noises. (although when distracted by sudden noise, they can go really mad...) and dog's bark can be very loud - imagine two dogs standing in front each other and barking. I think it must be...

I do. That bastard tinnitus won't take my social life and fun with friends. (Although I have not been anywhere out for last few weeks, just feels depressed, I would have no joy of it anyway. Hope it will be better some day again).

I wonder, if there can be noticed any change of animal's (e.g. dog's) behavior, when we know that it have hearing damaged most probably followed by tinnitus?

Same here :) I have never experienced any side effect with any medicine (mostly no required effect as well, lol), but with AD i felt all possible side effect. But no big deal. It helped me and it is important. My inner anger gone away and I was able to better communicate with other people and...

Hi, I used fluoxetine - because of anxiety and depression. As far as I remember 20 mg quite good effect on my mood, but bigger dose worsen my tinnitus (to unbearable level), so I had to stop using it. I don't think it is because of ototoxicity, but AD affects perception - tinnitus is well known...

Answer is Yes, absolutely. Jkph75 and Foncky are right. Just from my point of view: As far as i can remember (even when I was kid) i had tinnitus when came into quiet place from a loud environment. Even when I've been exposed to "not too loud" noises, and for a short time, tinnitus was here when...

Explosion. Pyrotechnic with bad timer... Yes, i know. My point just was, that such status is possible - less hearing, but together with much more acceptable portion of tinnitus.

During 11 years I'm living with tinnitus I've experienced interesting things: 1) My T faded away and was replaced by a different one, without any external cause. It happened like three times only and it all lasted only 2-3 seconds, after that my T went back the same as before. But for a while...

I used to think about it. What if person with tinnitus is completely isolated from external sounds for... let's say.. a few days? I think it must be horrible, but when get back to normal background, it feels like hearing perception is better, more faint sounds registered. Just my opinion. I...

I have this experience. Waking up after night when i was drunk, tinnitus don't bothers me (although it is still here, of course). I think it is just because my brain is somehow "dull" for part of a day. On the other side - sometimes when I am drunk and focus on my T, it is super strong! I just...

I had many big troubles and every time passed over it and life went better. Even after the point where my tinnitus started, there were good (?can i say happy?) times! So why? Why I am still having dark thoughts about my future? Now I can only see my future: life is going still the same way, and...

Yes, people don't like to listen to complains. But it is understandable... there is something like a negative energy around you and people feels like it is infectious in some way. Even most empathic person withdrawns, once he understand that there is no way how he can help. Everyone likes...

Absolutely. Today my condition went so bad, that I left work early to see a doctor. Of course, tomorrow people will be interested what is going on. What can I say? "Yeah, im fine." or "It will be better", for sure. Why telling the people "It will bothers me until the end of my life and there is...

Hm, tried to think more about it: Can you imagine situation, when a patient with incurable disease live to see a new cure discovered? Did that ever happen? It is not so simple to answer, because "cure" is considered to be anything that ease pain and slow down symptoms, for example. So, yes, in...

Here, almost 11 years. It gets worse last year, although audio testing shows very similar results as in 2005. I mean worse in the way, that attacks of worse condition lasts not for one day, but week, for example. (And now it comes to my mind: can it be because metabolism is slowing down??) My...

To me, the best job would be something outside. Plant trees, gardening etc. While in forest, surrounded only by blowing wind and singing birds, I am able to complete ignore my T. But for many reasons it is not possible to earn like this.

Right, but reason is that computers and small personal devices are fun to use and so useful for most people and companies, so it is very commercially succesful. Such huge profit is basis for additional development. Cure for T (and many other health issues) would be "only" pleasure for those who...

Yes, of course... in 60´s they said mankind will colonize the Mars by the end of a century. No way this could happen.

But this is different. I think if someone was born deaf (or with worse hearing), there is no reason to have tinnitus, because brain never had (and lost) audio signals from inner ear. But, of course, it can happen lately. I feel sorry.

Hi, as i can see, tinnitus without hearing loss is pretty common. But vice versa? Do you know about someone who has hearing loss and not tinnitus? I mean, of course, sudden hearing loss - from acoustic trauma and so. Not age related. Is it even possible?

Hi, I am new here, not a native English speaker so excuse me for bad english. **** I was allways sensitive and depresive person and life was not easy. I would say, sometimes I suffered of depressions and anxiety very much. But few weeks before tinnitus? Not weeks, but even months/years - I was...
