Yes. I got it tested because of that So knows if I would have gotten T anyway without the test. Might have been headed toward it. I was pretty stressed out at that time. Mine was a low hiss/static that was barely audible. Now it's the classic EEEE. I hear it louder when plugs or muffs are on...

I know the feeling re: car radio...I think I went a couple weeks like that. I also felt that people's voices were distorted with different sounds. And yes, you think it will be like that forever. Since we suffer from anxiety and depression it's easy for our thoughts to go there instead of...

Getting better...I remember early when I felt good and that beep aggravated the hell out of me! Ugh! It was cuz of the H that it annoyed me. When your ears feel full from time to time I think it's some H you are experiencing...over time it's not as bad but sometimes some noises can feel like...

I have the ones in black in my car for when I ride to and from work or long distance to my family's place. They look slightly larger than noise cancelling head phones. A few more months in and you'll be doing well. You are headed in the right direction. I always forget to tell myself this...

I remember how time seemed to slow down for myself as well. It's awful at the beginning. I'm dealing with intensity now and trying to distract myself. I think looking for it is the hardest part to overcome. I had stopped doing this when I felt habituated. Now I find myself constantly tuning...

Yes, I think definitely a spike....just hadn't had one this intense in a while. I can almost 'feel' it ringing or buzzing in my head. It's all day as opposed to evening only. I just keep telling myself my anxiety is getting the better of me and that it can subside like the other spikes in the...

So I have almost hit 5 months since my onset of tinnitus on 11/30/17. I know many here have had it much longer, much louder than I, and have done very well. I was finally coping and getting used to the sound. It would only be audible late at night after a day of noise or after having alcohol...

My onset of tinnitus and hyperacusis came as a result of the first two tests on this list. Prior to this I had a daily fleeting tinnitus for like 7-10 days. If I had known then that this could create tinnitus and hyperacusis, I would never have gone in for a 'routine' test. I winced in pain...

I don't know if it's my anxiety and I'm paying attention more to my voice, or it's the H after my spike from the dental cleaning I had done. It seems like when I talk the vibrations from the bass seem to sound a little bit tinny...not too bad but just a bit off...I just want to be at peace with...

Hey @greatFox I was going to post about my experience, but thinking back to when I started hearing weird noises, I think this is why. I also had a dental cleaning about 10 days ago, went to dinner and wore plugs...had some slight acid reflux...that evening I noticed that if I tilted my head...

Being a recent recipient of the lovely gift of T and H, I can't sleep more than 3 hours straight before I wake up. I'm trying the following to get me through the night: -Using pink noise from a youtube channel on my phone -Bought a Lectrofan to listen to white noise just under the sound of T...

Going to bed when my body tells me it's exhausted instead of when I want to. Using pink /white noise Lectrofan just below the T while sleeping Wearing ear plugs when I'm driving a long distance or when I'm out for lunch or dinner and it gets noisy Use .25-.5mg clonazepam in the T evenings...

Evening spikes higher than usual... Me sounds of late. Hoping my H resolves soon and T stabilizes.

Hey Luman, Did the crackling subside or did the warm compresses and breathing steam work? I feel as if I have a bit of that now. I may use a bit of Flonase. I was taking allegra D before.

I was looking for a thread on reactive tinnitus and came across this most recent one, so I'll post here instead of staying a new one. My symptoms are very much like the OP so you have my sympathies. My T started at the end of Nov when I went to an audiology test. The frequencies in the test set...

Thanks Joel. I think it was temporary H and I freaked out about it. Seemed to go away after a few hours and sleeping well. Appreciate your support. I've just got to be vigilant about certain things over the next few months.

I haven't posted in awhile since I first joined because I was feeling comfortable with tinnitus and got over some early hyperacusis. I've only had tinnitus for a month. I was exposing myself to ordinary sounds and just telling myself this could be temporary or permanent but just live your life...

Is this just computers? Just recently noticed a different tone that's low but seems to be affected around electronic signals or equipment. First noticed it would get louder on my right ear by my sister's coffee machine. After a night's rest it went away. Today was gone all day till now and...

If I had known this before, I would have never gotten my audio test at the ENT and saved myself my current angst. :mad:

Hey @cviechec I just got 'T' about a week ago and it's mild...but I got anxiety so I have no idea where I will wind up and am just trying to move on and be cautious at the same time...every night I'm a bit on edge cuz I think if my pitch is higher at night, then it might remain that way...I...

Well I'm a week in with T and mine was a milder one and I was adjusting quickly. I noticed at the end of the day it could spike but then go back down after a good night's rest. Last night my window was open and a f&ing police car blasted its siren. I'm not near the street but the sound echoed...

Good podcast for those that suffer from pains that have no cure: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Iylfzn2hsolomoquz3c22iqe4oa

Thank you so much @Tom Cnyc. I really want to be able to go back to the movies and maybe a football or fútbol match someday. Not much that I want out of life that has such high decibels. Thanks again!

@Tom Cnyc where'd u get your custom plugs?

@Lex Hi Lex...I'm relatively new to all this...not even a week in...my 'H' pain? and T come from having an audio test done at my ENT. Had I known it could have triggered it, I wouldn't have taken those tests. I winced at the pressure and high decibel sounds. I had had intermittent 'T' sounds...

Both. I winced when the pressure from the plugs was applied and when the sound was piped in at high decibels I heard them and I winced. My ears felt real sensitive. I had complained that my ear had hurt a bit by my jaw and the ENT just said it might be from grinding my teeth. He felt I did a bit...

No more football games at stadium No movies in theater. Most be careful at birthday parties or weddings. It's crazy. Hopefully I get to a point where it's stable and I can do some of these things without fear of any spikes. I think I have to consider my T being brought on by an acoustic...

Hey @Bill Bauer we've spoken already and I think that my T was brought on by the hearing test. Before I was pretty normal. I only had the slight ring for 5 seconds once per day. I now regret having gone to the ENT and having the audio test done. I remember wincing in pain at high decibel levels...

Thanks for the reassurance @Bill Bauer

Thank you for this thread. I'm new and I'm trying to be positive. Just scared about changes or it worsening. That's my anxiety and stress talking, which I believe brought it on. CBT and Mindfulness here I come.

I just got T this past Wed and experienced this last night and today. When I took two naps my T seemed to be a bit louder. It's still manageable but disappointed that I lost the hiss and now hear a pitch. Hopefully with good night's rest it goes to a baseline, but I'm so new with this and I...

I think I need to find a passion and something I love to do. The CPPS has kept me from some things and now with tinnitus I can't continue in this direction. Have to just live my life as I always have, with minor accommodations for noise sensitivities. Thanks for sharing. I think I'll be going...

Hey @fishbone just wanted to say thanks for your words of encouragement. My chronic pain has kind of gone to the wayside since I developed T. My brain is ignoring those areas of my body and concentrating elsewhere. It goes to show how much the brain has to do with pain and perception. My...

Thanks @Bill Bauer. I'll pick these up. For me the damage was already done when I picked up T after the pressure test with the plugs. Maybe it was inevitable I was bound to get T anyway, who knows. Btw I took a nap today and my T turned into a bit of a pitch. I can luckily still mask it. The...

Good point. Thanks for your input. Yes at work there's a hissing sound from the vent for heat. I'm right next to it. I think I'd prefer moving away from that or wearing plugs or noise canceling headsets. Any recommendations on plugs? I like that "listen to your body". Been turning down volume...

@Bill Bauer I set up a follow up with an Orto in NY. He's supposed to be really good. I'm just concerned with a little sensitivity to sound I feel end the "fullness" in both ears. Some pain like from an infection. Wonder if it's cuz allergy season is around corner and I should start taking...

Hopeful!

I can still hear the pitch a bit though. Seems to come and go from the left and right side. But it's mixed with hiss. Didn't hear it all day till tonight. Yea I don't think I'll be going to The Killers concert in January or any loud parties any time soon. Ears feel a bit sensitive to some sounds.

Thank you for this. I talked to my uncle tonight and he's such a great person to lean on. His T started like a blender sound then turned into ocean waves. He still has it even though he got the cochlear implant. He has Meniere disease and lost his hearing on one side and had nasty bouts of...

So I had intermittent T where once per day I'd get a high pitch for like 5-6 seconds and then it would fade away. I had this for like a week or 10 days. Then I got the test yesterday. Last night I heard the hiss like when a lamp or TV is on. But towards the morning I heard the high pitch for...

Interesting @Bill Bauer I did take magnesium while I had some acid reflux and took Zantac but not Nexium or Prilosec. Today I felt the symptoms masked at work and on the rise home. Now that I'm home a little pain in left ear or feels clogged. And the hissing noise is there a bit. I'm gonna try...

@Bill Bauer I got the prescription for the prednisone to take over 5 days. Is it possible for chelated magnesium to produce tinnitus? I started taking it more regularly a couple weeks ago when I started noticing the occasional ringing.

Thanks for the info. As you can see I haven't slept all night even with the muscle relaxer and klonopin. I did get sleepy but was tough the first night. Noticed two sounds. One is the "TV type" noise that feels like it's centrally located. Then when sleeping on my right side the lower pitch...

My weight of 160lbs = 70kg. I assume 60mg dose with tapering for a 10-12 day course would work? Going to ask my ent first, then I'll ask my doc buddy for a script.

Ok this sounds good. Thank you.

I've also got the klonopin to help take a bit of the edge off for now. I'm going to try to get the amitriptyline or nortriptyline. I lost 30 lbs this year and eaten healthy. I kept the weight off. You would think that me finally being healthy would be amazing this year, but instead I've had...

No he had T for many years before that. He had vertigo as well. He had a much more serious case where he lost all his hearing on his right side and had about 20-30% in his left. He's a man of faith and very optimistic. I'm not surprised at his resilient he's been thru it all. I have a couple...

Thanks Bill. That's positive. You know another irony is that one of my uncle's sufferes from vertigo and degenerative hearing loss. He just got a cochlear implant. And it's changed his life. He lives with tinnitus. Said to him it sounds like ocean waves crashing and it helps him sleep. He's...

Yes Bill. That's exactly what I feel happened with me. I feel like that one high pitch noise I heard in the test is now what I hear. I thought I was just hearing things or going crazy. Just noticed I hear the noise a bit more pronounced in the left sometimes. Just like dealing with the chronic...

Thank you both for your replies. What is my next option? I need to bring down my anxiety, it is going to cause me to get depressed. I may go with Lexapro or Elavil. I know I need to take this day by day, but it's hard when new. I know I need to get some sleep. Luckily it is very subtle and not...

So as my profile shows I've had intermittent tinnitus for about a couple weeks where it would stay for 5-6 seconds and then go away. It prompted me to go to the ear doctor today and they ran tests. Everything came up pretty normal, but during the pressure and high pitch tests I felt a little...

I'm new and concerned
