I wanted to provide an update. Since my last post, I've had some of my best days since mid-April. I went on a cabin trip last weekend, and, truth be told, apart from when I was going to bed, I could hardly hear my tinnitus. However, when I returned home on Sunday, the tinnitus became much...

Hello everyone, To make a long story short, I have had tinnitus for seven years. For the first four years, it had little impact on my life, apart from being noticeable in very silent rooms and when sleeping, which I managed by using a fan. However, if I read about tinnitus online, I would hear...

I completely understand how you feel. While I haven't had tinnitus for 10 years like you, I've had it for 7 years. At least 4 of those years were relatively unproblematic. In fact, since around 2020-2021, I've had days where I've forgotten I have tinnitus—mainly because I automatically turn on...

I played a very low volume 9000 Hz tone in my right ear, which seems to block out most of my tinnitus. I let my problematic left ear be without the headset (just lifted it over my ear) while I had my fan on all day, thinking I could somehow retrain this side to not react to fans. While it did...

I can give a small update: Yesterday was one of the best nights I've had in weeks. I could sleep with my old trusty fan without the tinnitus reacting to it! There was no electrical buzz over it whatsoever. Today, it seems a bit worse again, but hopefully, it's a sign that this cursed reactivity...

Hello. It's been a while since I've been on Tinnitus Talk; much like my return, my tinnitus has also increased alarmingly. I basically got tinnitus back in 2017 and had significant problems with it the first three months, only for it to get slowly better over the next 3-4'ish years. I had some...

Hello. I've now had tinnitus in my left ear for three years and counting. In the beginning, I hoped it would be gone each time I woke up, only to be greeted by the sound. I spent more time than was good for me on Google trying to find a cure or find out what was wrong with me, only increasing my...

Hello people on this forum. I was going to post here on my anniversary but I forgot about this entire page, perhaps just as good since the first months I kept browsing here like a madman which made me think about it even more. I've now had it for a bit over a year and I dont think its going to...

As others have said, one day by the time. I can have good days where it can go some hours where I don't hear it (unless if I activly try to listen to it, then its always there). Then I can have bad days where im able to hear it 24/7 unless I listen to music at a moderate volume. First months I...

I've had tinnitus for half a year and im in a much, much better place now than the first couple of months. Have the volume gone down? Sometimes I think it has gone down greatly and other times I think its the same as it was in early march. But the main thing is that I'm not bothered by it to the...

If my tinnitus is caused by god wanting my attention...he's in for a sollid battering when I knock on the pearly gates.

Hello. I've now had tinnitus for about 3.5 months. I thought for a couple of weeks lately that it was going away but much to my enjoyment it came back in full force without me changing anything. Anyhow, I have noticed now that certain electric apparatuses make very high pitched noises that...

Hello fellow sufferers. Excuse my spelling and grammar I'm writing from my phone. The last few days my volume or at least my perception of it has gone up . During the last weeks I usually fell asleep within 30min but the last 2-3 days I got severe problems falling a sleep and staying asleep...

I'm playing a low pink noise at my pc most of the day, and it seems to be able to help somewhat. Its just loud enough for me to hear it and if I have it on for awhile I even forget that I have it on. I think this helps me forget that I have own produced sounds in my ears as well.

Probably around 25-50 years into the future.

Since when do you have tinnitus? Since 1 of march. Most likley cause ETD. How loud is your tinnitus? I can hear it everywhere inside my home without backround noise and with the TV on low volume. In the start I could also hear it outside during the night but it has somewhat reduced its noise...

Hello @MJT how is it going? Do you have more silence today than yesterday?

Less risk of tinnitus if she tapers really slow. If she has used it for 10 years she should quit very slowly.

I got this in a smaller degree. If I click my mouse, knock my finger on the table or brush over my clothes I can hear a sound over it and almost 'feel it' inside my head/ears. Its actually pretty strange since the sound I was plagued with in the start has gone down by quite alot but this...

Thanks for your words, @Samantha R. I have been trying to avoid reading too much about tinnitus online since this is how my slight sound got into a horrible one. I stopped taking benzodiazepines three days after I made this first post, and it went pretty okay. I'm still using some other pills...

I think I have the same problem as you. I have big problems getting my right ear to pop by applying different tricks like valsalvas etc. I went to my GP again last week and he saw that my right eardrum was retracted and gave me nasonex spray that I started using 5 days ago, but only the last 2...

Hello, I'm 26 years old. I'm from Norway. I first heard my tinnitus on 1 or 2 March. I've had problems with earwax buildups during the last couple of years (probably because I sleep with earbuds 4 to 5 nights a week). The couple of weeks before I got my tinnitus, I felt that my ears were a bit...

I usually take it when im heading towards bed and then read for 30-40min until I feel it kick in and then usually I fall asleep pretty fast. I also find it much, much easier to stop taking these pills than benzos. with zopiclone i've quitted several times cold turkey without much else than...

Hello. I'm pretty new to tinnitus but I have struggled with sleeping before so have used some pills. I prefer imovane/zopiclone over ambien/zolpidem. The reason for this is that zopiclone got a longer half-life time than zolpidem, so it will last longer in your body and should then in theory...
