First off mine is more on the mild side. I can hear it in quiet room, it's probably a 3/4 - multiple tones, new ones that come and go. I've learned to just let it be. Staying off this forum has helped immensely. Honestly I get it, you want to be around people who feel your pain but I fought...

Have a good time! <3

I went to a pool party with loud music bumpin today and bad a GREAT time. I used my downbeats plugs and no spikes. Just exhausted from the hot ass sun! My son was in the pool for 3.5 hours! To let him be out and enjoy himself was a reward. I felt "normal" even with plugs in, had a great time...

Hello! So I saw a video on youtube where there is a certain way to angle the spray into your nose. And I just saw on amazon that they have nose filters that are discreet..good for allergy sufferers. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SHELUP0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dLIjzbQFF533W

Thank you Kiba <3

I watched this entire thing this morning. In CBT part of it is "exposure". Little by little and not to dangerous sounds, but back into life. Dr. Hubbard's story is on this forum too.

Yes my dad has T. He hears jet engines. I told him about new research about T and he does not care for it at all. He says he doesn't even notice it until someone asks him. He's able to tune it out and focus on other things. This talk really helped me get through some rough patches.

I didn't mean I was going to be careless. I've gone to a few loud events before with earplugs, away from speakers, and no spikes. But I really need to lose grip of letting T control my daily decisions. So far the only thing that has made my T louder was a cold/sinus issue. That has subsided...

Well so I looked up the courses and I can take one specifically for makeup without the hair. I'm probably going to do that and if there are hair dryers going near me ill use earplugs. I don't want to feel like I'm hiding from the world anymore. T has made me more aware to take care of my ears...

So I've had T since the end of January this year. I have what you might consider a minor nuisance. Different tones in each ear, I don't say I suffer but feel for all of you who do. A little background on me.. I'm a homebody, stay at home mom who homeschools her son. I've always lived a...

Hi Chris! Took a road trip a few weeks back to NC and drove through some mountains. No problems :) I had a cold and I think that was more of the issue than the mountains. Enjoy the view!!

I thought of this too :(

This happened to me a few weeks back if you look at my thread. It doesn't happen that often anymore, maybe softly in the mornings but for the most part its gone. I had a cold and stress from a road trip. Which one? No idea just glad I have my regular one back.

I'm sure most of you have heard of the event that took place in Manchester with Ariana Grande's concert. I deeply feel sorry for all the families hurt by this. A part of me thought... maybe not going to concerts isn't that bad anymore. I've never been a concert person but the bombings are...

I dont have experience with your condition but you are in my thoughts. In the meantime youtube tinnitus relief videos and wait for your meds. If you are feeling really low, definitely call your doc. Hope you get better <3

So whenever something loud happens near me I just keep walking really fast and tell myself it didn't hurt me before, not gonna hurt me now. It works. By the way I order things on amazon a lot. I opened a package today and it was loud! I was impatient and ripped the box open to hear a loud...

Just updating.. I think the new sounds have settled down. My T has also settled down. At this point my ears will do what they want, they always do. I think being on the road for that long may have just stirred some stress up, and possibly agitated my ears a little. Ill remember this next time...

I had a crummy experience with the ENT also. I feel you. $300 later for her to just shrug her shoulders and say "go buy a white noise machine!" I expressed I was having bad anxiety and she goes "yeah..you should talk to your GP about that." From the 4 months that I've had T I have...

I got a new noise Monday. It blends in with my other sound. Still sucks. Between the 5 sounds I have, I'm thinking I will have a rainforest in my head one day. I hear a faint beeping, an annoying beep beep beep, then an EEEEE with a buzz, then faint sizzling, and a faint chime. Some times...

What did you do over the weekend? Get some prednisone if you can if it's from an acoustic trauma. Hope you get seen by an ENT quick.

Hi, you'll be ok. I've had loud doors slam, loud things drop, car doors slam and I've been ok. When I say slam, these were loud. Nothing like a gunshot but loud enough to make a person cringe. Hope you have a good rest of the day.

Thank you everyone. I opened my doors, turned on a fan, turned on the tv and now watching the news.

I recently went to a wedding which was 8.5hrs away. I wore plugs for some of the drive when it seemed too loud. I also had a bit of a cold/allergies when during the wedding too. We got back home and the next morning I woke up to an intermittent beep..beep....beeeep :( Not to mention another...

I take mine first thing in the morning (usually my highest anxiety moments). It does not make me drowsy and it helps calm the racey thoughts. I've always had some kind of anxiety, before T. So my thoughts are usually "omg is it going to get worse today?" etc.. But now its more like "its more...

I was hanging out with a neighbor who has two very loud kids who like to scream. She has T herself and was not phased. My T didn't react to their screams at all, ..and all the clattering along with it. Oddly enough being in a small room while my son screamed at the top of his lungs made my T...

Ok well hopefully it clears up for you dear! In the meantime try to stay busy, put some low music on. Avoid ototoxic meds like aspirin, ibuprofen..there's a whole list out there. It hasn't been long for you , it can clear up :) I am getting used to my noise. I have my good days and bad days...

Yeah I believe even a slight dip can cause us to have tinnitus. But what matters is that we put on a positive attitude. Thank you for being positive too! Wishing you the best also!

Googling "noise induced hearing loss" and that comes up.

Mine kinda looks like this.

Do you use earbuds or have you been to any concerts lately? Mine was hard to pinpoint the cause because I was sick and using earbuds. The prednisone should be able to help bring down the swelling, but it did drive my anxiety through the roof. @ryan1234 yeah not a success story yet ;) I still...

I came across a video on youtube video of "locked-in" syndrome. Got me thinking elsewise about T. One day at a time is right. @Skulldrey I posted a video on youtube recently talking about headphone dangers and tinnitus awareness. A lot of people have it but just don't talk about it..and I...

Hi. I figured mine is noise-induced looking at my audiogram. I have a dip at the 4khz-6khz and this was after 2 doctors said I had an ear infection. It could be a combination of both idk, BUT it's not as loud as when it started. Still there but I am coping so much better. My advice: -take...

I lay down on my bed and breathe slowly, watching my stomach move up and down. I take lemon balm which takes maybe an hour to kick in but it starts to calm my nerves down. I watch/listen to meditation videos on youtube. Call my dad if I'm really anxious (he has T also but gives no...

Beautiful pictures! I am Lao/Vietnamese/Hmong so seeing this makes me think of my parents. :)

I know a handful of people who have T. 3 have it in their ear and 1 says in her head. They all have had them for more than 1 year. The one who said she hears it in her head had a bad case of vertigo then the ringing appeared after.

I've had tinnitus since January. After realizing this might not go away I started reaching out and looking for people who have tinnitus. I have found a handful and all of them say it gets better. Some from mild to severe. My son's tutor just told me she is blind in one eye and deaf in one...

I'm doing better. ☺️ I've reached out to a handful of folks who have it and they all say it gets better. Thanks for responding!

So I tried this this morning, and my ears started screeching! I stayed calm and it went back to it's usual. whew..never doing that again! No idea why though :/

Lucky. I paid $200 for an MRI and $100 for two visits to an ENT doc to tell me nothing is wrong..then booted me out so she could see her next patient. Ill probably pay full price for the generators if I ever consider one. For now I'm dealing with the mosquito buzzing in my right ear and dog...

I like to watch real stories on YouTube and this just popped up. Her part 1 is also on there. Idk why she keeps calling them electronic attacks though.

It seems like it's gotten a little lower..I should say less reactive. At this point I am just accepting it and moving on. I don't have hope that it'll go away. That set me up for a horrible downfall. Now I wake up and think "I know it's there, don't check it, just move on."

I mentioned earlier in a post that I'm just so tired of worrying I'm giving up and just resuming life. I will still protect my ears but I need to get out and socialize. Prior to T I always liked having music/tv on all the time anyways. Silence me made me uncomfortable. The sounds that mask...

I refuse to be dragged down everyday... So habituation is on its way. I am 29 and I still have much left to do. This has been a huge wake up call for me.

I still get moments of silence and we will see with time. I'd say it's a 2/10 at worse a 4/10. But I'm giving it time and will update.

You have helped, thank you for being kind and positive. I will look into the things you have mentioned. As I write my T is low, the fridge is masking it. I have a quiet fridge too. Hoping things will settle down. I wish you well.

Thank you. I needed to hear it from people who understand. What are some things you do to calm yourself down?

Thank you for always being positive.

I was doing so well. I couldn't hear it at all during the day and faintly at night. Then one day I was in my son's room and he screamed out of anger and it echoed. Right after that the EEEEEE came right back. It's been with me since... maybe 3 days now. I can hear it over the fridge and...

I'm American ;) Anyways I was like you in the beginning. I got mine from an ear infection. It's about two months and the sounds are 90% less of what it was in the beginning. Sleep elevated. When I sleep flat I notice the sounds are much worse. Do a lot of hot steaming or showers. Make sure...

I bought these after my ENT said "you have tinnitus! go buy a white noise generator." and sent me out of her office. I was a wreck crying constantly. Anyways I've been taking these for a month and it could just be time that has healed things but my sounds have lessened. I don't plan on...

Another update: The gas leak sound in my left is has gone down so maybe a 1/10 and the eeeeeeeee on my right is hardly there. Maybe 0.5/10 but lately I haven't been hearing it. Throughout the day I don't hear anything even in a silent closet. (I do a lot of laundry so I have to go into the...

Take care of your body and time will heal. I always make sure at night that I get all the gunk out during a hot shower. Steam inhaling and started taking vitamins. I stopped eating junk food also. Give it time and have faith. ..and yes give your ears a rest! I noticed my ears are more...

Well I'm not sure but I'm going in almost two months and it is 95% gone. Only time at night is hard but it is getting better. Just be sure to keep your sinuses clear.

I slept well last night. Not sure but it could be luck or because I took my vitamins before bedtime. I was propped up but slipped back down. Either way I'm happy I slept well!

If you guys figure it out let me know. Tonight I am sleeping up higher

Yes I hope so too. I'm like..I can deal with the daytime but at night these new tones need to chill out! Almost two months. Daytime seems to be improving a lot but at night is another story. Anyways thanks!

Maybe I need to sleep on a recliner...

There is. When I stand it goes away after a few minutes then me other sounds come back. Thoughts?

I'm doing ok but was wondering if any of you deal with this too. During the day I hear a high pitched dog whistle in my left ear and my right ear is an eeeee that's not too loud. Actually both aren't too loud. When I go to sleep I hear a metallic stopwatch... It's like a faint alarm clock that...
