    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I still have ringing but it is not to bad most of the time. It has begun to stop again at times. Most the time in 1 ear but sometimes in both. Occasionally it gets really loud but if I rub my ear that it is loud in it tends to nearly vanish. It has been a while but in my last couple of weeks I...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I decided to try fasting because I read something about it causing you body to increase stem cell production (not sure if that is true or not. It's just what I have been reading) anyways I'm only about 40 hours in without food (llitterally no food. Only planning to go 3-5 days of this or until I...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Significant improvement. The volume to block it out is still around 3-5 (tv volume, not a scale of 1-10). While that is basically what I reported last time the big improvement is that it has become significantly quieter when I'm in silence. There has been lots of fluctuation recently (far more...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Tinnitus is at a new (constant) low. I can block it out at a volume of 4 on the tv (only the tv was on, no fan of other noise producing device was on). I can sleep on my ears again so long as there is some sound in the room to distract me. I am concerned though because I'm sick again (rare for...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Listening to the sound of my frequency (to be clear, I'm not listening to my T. I'm listening to a YouTube video that plays the same frequency as my T). Still helps reduce or remove my T. I'm still not sure why it works but something about hearing a real version of my sound makes the T go away...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I stopped taking the vitamins and it seemed to begin fluctuating more. The max is still about 20 but there is less gradual transitions and more sudden ones. I think it shut off again briefly ( been a while since it did that) Currently gets louder when I yawn I will begin the vitamins again to...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Well I thought I stopped improving for a while and today my ears were ringing louder than usual, it has also been a long time since I had it stop. I'm the last few hours it stopped for a while and hit a new low in volume (tv can currently block it out at a volume of 7. It is likely the bottom of...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    My ear doctor just sent me new medication and told me to stop taking the previous one. Me being curious why looks up the old medication, nothing bad to report on that one, but since I'm looking it up anyway I decide to search the new one and it is apparently ototoxic.... So I search my nasal...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Ringing still goes away at times. Right ear is quiet when it rings (quiet in silence). Left can be quiet but normally makes itself known (in silence) Over all it takes less sound to mask it, normally 1 source of sound can do it at a low volume. Left ear aches and is swollen. My theory is that...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I am back from a hearing test. They said I have no signs of hearing loss. I also got something for my stomach but that is just over the counter stuff. Not doctor prescribed. My ear doctor told me that since most my nausea does not include a spinning sensation that it might not be related to...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Melatonin made it silent again but I could not sleep easy no matter how tired I get (even with the ringing gone). I did get some sleep though , I woke up the ringing was back but I expected that. I had a dream I was bitting something and I had clenched my teeth really hard in real life. (The...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I took a melatonin pill and it helped. It seemed like my tinnitus was a lot more quiet although I did not sleep long (woke up because I felt sick to my stomach but not dizzy)

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    It comes back and goes away really fast right now. It's coming back very quiet. I'm also just noticing an almost Velcro like sound when I chew the sound is on my left side. I also have pushed on the hard part of the ear where my earlobe begins, I pushed toward the ear hole and it cracked. I did...

    It has gone away again it seems. Now to wait and see for how long Part of all my posting is for the purpose of taking notes on it to try to track progress and strategies to deal with it.

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I had complete silence for about an hour and when it came back it was pretty quiet (barely hear it in a silent room) for a while. It is back to normal now (not very loud to begin with). The break was definitely a moral boost. When the ringing stopped I also noticed a lot of pressure release...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Everyone's T seems to be a bit different so I guess I have to find people with similarities then experiment a bit to see what helps mine. some people need a noise to make it ease up, but others tell me that masking can not be done for their T as it has no effect, and then there are people who...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I just found out that I'm not the only one in my house with the symptoms I described. No one else told me they were feeling sick too so I thought it was just me and a result of my T. More good news is that it seems to have stopped again for now.

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Thank you for responding fast. I do not own headphones and do not plan on getting any. There was a long gap of time where I did not post (between January 23rd and January 29th). That was due to me not having any tinnitus at all. I was surprised to have such a long break from it but I never let...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I slept a really long time yesterday (anywhere from 11-14 hours I'm not sure). The ringing began to fluctuate a little early on but always quiet. Just a bit ago it started getting aggressive then either vanish or nearly vanish then come back to its normal low place. I started feeling really sick...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I hope so, I am still trying things to make it stop while it is active. It has been near constant recently but I notice it goes away if I can focus on another sound hard enough (though that is difficult to do).

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I have a lot is sinus pressure but the tinnitus seems to fade or vanish when I manage to relieve the pressure. It is minimal in volume most of the time and their has been more silence recently. I have begun suddenly realizing that the sound disappears and I can not be sure when it stopped...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I have noticed it coming and going with a sense of pressure in my head. It that common aswell? I know that I have been coughing up clear mucus recently. I did a bit of research and the idea that my sinuses are the problem seems more likely. It started with my right ear feeling a bit clogged and...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    So I had nothing for 4 or 5 days and now it's back. Not intense but it's back. I'm not entirely sure what's going on because it seems to prefer the right ear now for some reason. I have noticed I am a bit congested as of late but I no longer feel as sick. It does go away a lot but I feel it is...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Gonna keep this one short and simple. When this started for me, it was non-stop and cripplingly loud. Today (besides the morning) was mostly quiet. Coughing does not trigger it most the time and my ear is starting to lose its ache. I am currently unaware of any hearing loss(hearing felt dull...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Ok, well last night I woke up coughing really hard (felt like I was choking). All the coughing really set it off but it never reached its worse. It was kinda rough but I got to sleep, my fan would make a sound similar to the ringing (normally that blocks the ring out because while it is similar...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    one theory was I was getting an ear infection and the shooting aggravated it to make the ringing start sooner. I did however have the appointment already planned because I had been sick for 6weeks prior to the ringing. I got to the doctor the same day I started this post (day 3 of ringing)...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    So I heard that it can happen but I caught me off gaurd. It is switching ears back and forth. Slowly fading from the left then slowly increasing in the right, then fading from the right and going back left. It keeps repeating and seemingly stopping sooner with less maximum volume. Anyone know...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Yeah, it is pretty easy to drown out right now and I just had a coughing fit (coughing seems to spike mine). One fan is all it is taking, originally I needed a fan, my tablet, and the tv to ignore it. I still can not sleep on my left side but I am at least feeling better about it.

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I think you are right on. I am having a hard time ignoring it but I have had luck the last few days have been better than when I first started this post. I manage to forget sometimes while I have water sounds on so I do not notice it always but I have had an irregular day today. All my breaks...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    If your tinnitus seems to change from a sharp sound to a more dull static like sound is that a sign of continued recovery (lessening severity) or is it just different? So far every day has had a quality of life improvement since it started whether it be longer breaks or more often breaks...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I was upset too when mine spiked with the drops. Maybe yours will go away soon. I wish you luck. I thought I did something wrong and checked if my ear drops could be damaging my ears (they were not). I managed to get the fluid out of my ear I think (I put drops in again and also pressed on...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I woke up this morning with it being louder than when I fell asleep, I turned the fan back on and turned up the volume on my tablet (6hour water sounds) I could still hear it but fell asleep fast. I woke up again and it is very quiet now and it keeps fading away. I do however notice the feeling...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Everyone I have heard from who has this says that nights are the worst, I can confirm that to be true. I really want to get my hopes up and say that I think it will continue to fade as it has been but I'm concerned that I'm going to set myself up for disappointment. Tonight has had some rough...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    Update, it at least seems significantly quieter since taking everyone's advice. I do not care if it is really more quiet or just my perception but I am eternally grateful for all the help and support. Before I could have the tv on 40+ and still hear it loudly. At this moment the tv is on 18 and...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    So I managed to fall asleep but the whole time I tried my ear kept poping and I kept feeling pressure changes, I got dizzy and nausea, my ear also itched. I'm wondering if it could be a sinus infection as well. Ignoring the sound is helping. I have produced orange mucus in previous days but...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    I want to thank you all for the advice. I was listening to it to try to be use to it but unmanaged to forget it a while and it vanished for a long time till it came back (throwing up made it return) as for the neck injury, no nothing traumatic but I have been thinking something might be wrong...

    Joining the Tinnitus Club After a Loud Concert

    I just figured something out that helped. I listened to my frequency (8hertz) and then put my finger over my ear hold (not in) and it seemed to last longer (I heard odd clicking in my ear) unplugging my ear did not revert it immediately. It seems to come back less intensely and it is lasting...

    Joining the Tinnitus Club After a Loud Concert

    I'm new to this. How loud would you rate your tinnitus at its worse and at its best in recent time (1-10, 10 being bad)? Also how long during your day do you hear yours (mine is new but nearly constant). I know that I found what frequency mine is at (8hertz is the sound), when I listen to it...

    Third Day of Tinnitus — Will This Be Forever or Not?

    So I'm not sure if it is forever or not. It is just ending the 3rd day and the intensity varies a lot. I would like to talk to some people with experience with this. I hear a near constant high pitch ring, it vanishes occasionally but for a very small amount of time (non-stop on day 1, day 2 I...
