Time for Will & Grace (no time for T). Why am I only just now starting to watch this brilliant show. Oh right I was 8 back in 1998.

If it weren't for these success stories, I would have probably been history by now. These stories help give me the extra push and energy that I need to keep going. This is why I barely ever read regular threads anymore, and only come back on once or twice a week to check if the success thread...

So you say that before you had a slight form of tinnitus and its was sort of relaxing in some way...well maybe use that to your advantage....I do this weird thing where I sleep under my pillow either on my left side or my right and the arm that ends up being on top I use that to add weight and...

@Red Dont worry Red, when I first got T and H back in Feb 2016 I dropped many of the things that I used to love. I was a movie and video game aficionado. However they ended up being put on for a short pause. But as I became more comfortable I started getting back to it. 3 months later in May...

Mad Max Fury Road, Lord of the Rings, and the Fall...All works of art!

@Holly1987 It's go time! and 1 more episode than last season. Yesss!!!

@Holly1987 Well thats a good thing that you have to wait less now.:)

Damn it, I come home to turn on Netflix only to see a 2 and a half hour countdown marker. Damn you West Coast. I was so excited with my binge food ready. But I will stay up till 3AM and binge! Mark my words!

I'm ordering Buffalo Wild Wings boneless chicken tonight in 6 different flavors and binging the show starting midnight.

@Red I watched the show 3.5 months after I got T and H. The worst period of my life. But when the show released my mind ignored the T for those 8 episodes. The bass didn't bother me as I watched it on regular volume from my TV. Although I miss using my surround sound system, which I gave up on...

I read from your previous post that sleep was the biggest issue and that you had sleeping pills prescribed. For me it personally took about 3 weeks till I could sleep normally again. Those first weeks my body was in panic. But for those 3 weeks it would take me 2 hours after laying down to get...

Very glad you come back here from time to time. I remember coming across your posts 2 years ago when I initially got T and it they were very helpful in reminding me to stay positive. Thank you!

10-15 seconds and 3 times in not anything you need to worry about. Everybody gets fleeting tinnitus. I've had it too and never thought once about it. You are fine. I only ever experienced tinnitus when I would go to a bar or club. And out of a total of a total of 25 times in a span of 5 years I...

Yea, lets not turn this into a negative thread. There's enough of that going around. On another note, my parents dont fully grasp it either, same with a bunch of other people. They think it's as simple as just wearing earplugs, but that does increase the noise due to blockage of all external...

One day I was playing with my neighbors grandchildren outside; a boy of 4 and a girl of 2 years of age. Being kids they can scream and yell and get really loud sometimes. Even after asking them not to scream and yell, they quiet down for 5 seconds and instantly forget..cant blame them. So once I...

For me, I have a friend that once sent me a link to a video that she saw on her Facebook feed of a way that could give me some relief from tinnitus. I hadn't mentioned tinnitus to her in months, but none the less it showed me that she still remembered and cared. The technique in the video did...

Alrighty...So I had an idea to make a thread where people list the different ways that people in their lives, wether family or friends, have done things to help easy the burden of tinnitus and/or hyperacusis or just show that they care and remember what you are going through. In a way I want to...

Why dont people own up to their own mistakes rather than blame others. Either way not everybodys hearing is at the same level or health. Audiograms dont mean squat. Who knows what you've exposed yourself over the years.

I just learned a song completely in Korean, even though I dont speak a single word of Korean. Love watching some of their movies and shows. You could tell me if I'm singing it right or completely butchering it haha. Although who am I kidding, me singing in Korean is flawless. haha

Tokyo is one of my dream places. I know so much of it from just spending hours on Google Earth and observing it in 3D. From Shibuya, to Shinjuku, to Minato, to Chiyoda, to Odaiba, etc.... Go for me. haha But you will enjoy yourself and be too fascinated with the surroundings instead of worrying...

Maybe the DJ and speakers can be positioned farther from the dance floor if theres time. Although I dont know the floor plan or if its late for these adjustments. If anything, I'm sure the first dance is more of a softer song. Again like Julien has said, it doesn't have to be loud to be enjoyed...

also about the DJ thing...there's no rule that the volume has to stay the same throughout the entire wedding, so when he notices that the next song is louder, then he can act accordingly and turn it down some and adjust again after. Maybe as things are set up in the reception hall before people...

ohh I forgot to mention my ears were no worse the day after the wedding nor even now. Still have T and some sensitivity, yet things are better than they were a year ago. The thing that helped that day of the wedding was letting go and having fun. Maybe a drink or two. ;):)

@amymilly I got T back in late Feb 2016 and was invited to my two best friend's wedding at the beginning of July 2016. That was a short 4.5 months after I got T and mine was reactive back then and I also had H back then (although very low at that point). But I was not going to miss this day...

@RicoS I think you misunderstood. This is HER wedding.

From my science knowledge I believe that it's because anxiety/stress forms reactive oxygen species or free radicals. Those free radicals are toxic to the body. And the hair cells and nerves probably being the most fragile to it. Thats my guess as to why stress can cause tinnitus. As far as...

I would be careful and not reckless. From looking at your profile and posts it seems that you had low T for as long as you could remember, and then in 2010 it became louder and bothersome. You were eventually able to habituate and forget about it (I'm not sure if it was really gone or if you...

@ChristopherD If you were as much of an adult you could have just left. No one forced you to be in an uncomfortable environment. Take some responsibility for yourself too then. Maybe he was a jerk especially if you told him to stop, but in no way was he expecting you to have delicate ears, nor...

From the entire story that @ChristopherD has told, no it does not show in the slightest that it was malicious intent. Your ears were weak to begin with. So its not his fault that that was the last straw that got you tinnitus. You could have just as likely gone to a club that night that would...

@JurgenG People always yell during soccer matches...it's tradition and the rush of the sport...heck, during any sport or competition. That happened to me many times with friends and cousins where they came up to my ear and shouted. Never did I get Tinnitus from that, although I'm not denying...

@ChristopherD Grow up. Yes every problem is solved with suing (sarcasm). Americans are so "sue happy", especially when they dont want to take responsibility for anything themselves. That still won't solve your tinnitus. And very mature for posting a picture of the person. Your tinnitus would...

One thing is don't believe all of the "time limits" you hear on the web...like "after a year or two it's permanent"...The real honesty is that nobody really knows and it also varies from person to person. Everybody has a different reason for tinnitus, amount of damage, as well as age and ear...

Glad to hear that the beast is gone and congrats on the healthy lifestyle. Thanks for coming back and caring about this community, as I see that this is your only post, but the post that is most needed.

"No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it." - Quote from Mulan This quote always gives me inspiration.

So I've been struggling for 7 months now with noise induced tinnitus and it has really gotten me down. However, yesterday my mother came home from work and told me she had something to tell me. My mother is a CNA and at work one of the elderly ladies asked how I was doing and what I was up to...

http://www.generalfuzz.net/acrn/ This may help in matching your tinnitus frequency. It can also be used as neuromodulation.

Did you by any chance just watch that thriller movie (Don't Breathe) that just came out? Barbra Streisand used to refer to her tinnitus as superhuman hearing because back in the day she thought that the sound occurred naturally in our surroundings but normal people couldn't hear it.

Hi Jade! I'm sorry that things have been rough. I got T and slight H 6 months ago. Within 2 months H started to back off, but I still had some sound sensitivity. Eventually the sensitivity faded all together. T is still there, but I am adjusting. Due to it being a TBI you might need a bit more...

I love when I read a story like this! It gives me that extra boost to keep fighting and know that things will be alright. Since getting T I have halted dating, mainly because of being an emotional mess. If I wasn't happy, how would I be happy in a relationship. My biggest fear was that if...

Amen!

Hi there and welcome! SHL - Sudden Hearing Loss HBOT - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy ETD - Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Don't know if you have tried, but you could try masking the noise. Rain noise, ocean waves etc. Can find them on youtube or on smartphone apps. There are also in ear masking...

@Hottopic29 From what I last remember reading the initial/main trial was of 3 groups (two different doses of esketamine or a placebo). Then you got 1 injection day 1, another day 2, and another day 3. So after 90 days for that individual the trial was complete for that person. The other...

I feel like I am in the same boat. For me sleeping without masking, ear pain, jaw pain/tension, fullness, H and other things that accompanied my tinnitus mostly all got better within 5 months. Emotions also got better, but I've had good days and bad days...some days were half good, some days...

Happy Birthday Glynis!!:) Hope you have a wonderful day!

Mine showed up 2.5 weeks after a one and only day where I listened to headphones and surround sound music for a pretty long time. Does anyone have input on if the onset time correlates to severity?

It may not be a spike. It may just be sound sensitivity/slight hyperacusis. I do agree that you need to calm your nerves. I myself still have the issues, but am making them less important. Now I visit this site less and less. Before I used to be on here for hours almost every day. Now I may get...

Considering that tinnitus causes anxiety and depression and changes the way we approach life by always worrying about sounds, foods, reactivity, spikes, colds, worsening of tinnitus, and depending on where we are in our life worrying about our future, schooling, career, family or starting a...

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. All people don't have tinnitus, not even mildly. I'm sure there is some brain activity that a person can sense, especially when a person is exhausted, but our tinnitus' are due to an imbalance and are hyperactive. So there is a difference between the two. An...

Is there any chance you can test them out at the audiologist? If there is a way to test them out and it improves your hearing, then go for it! You have been on here for a while, and I'm sure you have practically seen every thread on this site as I have. The thing is, you know exactly what you're...

Treacherous Beast

Thank you so much for coming back to give others hope! This gives me more energy to keep fighting. Thank you!!!!!

Rather than looking at is as some thing that will prevent you from finding someone, look at it as a filter which will weed out all of the wrong people. If you want to date someone shallow and superficial fine, but don't fool yourself into thinking that that relationship will remotely last or be...

"No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it."

Not sure what is meant by switch mode, but I have an Xbox one and it has that huge power supply brick also. I can hear that it is on but that power supply does not affect my T at all. The wifi router does. I also noticed that my wifi light bulbs by Philips Hue also affected my T. So sadly I...

I don't believe that wifi can cause tinnitus, but i have noticed that it can spike my tinnitus. When I'm around my house or in parts of my room where the router is at I don't get affected. But once I sit at my desk where the router is at my tinnitus spikes because I can hear a low volume high...

I wish it were that easy. I've had mine for a bit over two months now. The first two weeks were the worst, but now although my anxiety is better, T still bothers me. I guess there are many factors that contribute to it. Personality is a big one. I have always had a very active mind and was...

@Ears Hurt dont know about surgery but it went away after two weeks.
