I feel your pain, and I’m sorry you go through this as well. If it’s any source of hope to you, this happens less to me now than it did when this post was made. Perhaps there is hope that we will both improve with time? Take care, xx

Okay I’ll definitely look into it! Thank you!

Hi there! Thank you for taking time to reply. I was considering nicotine gum but I’m not sure how to go about that. Have you had any success with St. John’s Wort or l-theanine? Did you have T when you quit smoking? Any effect? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I’m at a point where I need and want to quit vaping nicotine as I believe it’s possible that I’m doing more damage. However, when I try to quit my tinnitus goes haywire and the nicotine seems to be the only thing that calms all the different tones into (mostly) one tone and also...

Thank you, I’m super aware of everything that could make it worse. A year ago at onset I was obsessed with scrolling these forums. And I’m back to that headspace a year later even though there’s been no spike or anything, I’ve just realized that I’ve gained new tones over the year and that has...

From what I can tell the sounds don’t link to certain postures, but pushing my jaw forward or opening it all the way makes the hiss go up a couple times in pitch and volume. I sometimes notice if I slouch all day, which I tend to do, it seems worse but I’m never sure.

Thank you so much for your reply. It’s just that when I sit in dead silence the sounds come and change and morph so quickly, it’s like an orchestra in my head sometimes and I’m so terrified it’s a sign of what’s to come. I can only hear them in quiet though. I’m hoping my tinnitus isn’t noise...

My final question I’ll bother you with if you wouldn’t mind is; because I’ve collected a couple tones and noises that appear and disappear sometimes; does that mean it’s worsening? Overall from onset I believe wholeheartedly my original high pitch hiss is better and quieter, the tones are also...

Sorry. It is 93dbZ. I know there is A, C and Z. I don’t know which is appropriate to use in a car.

As I relax more I notice that I actually hear more tones when I sit in silence for a long time, and after I turn my fan off or leave a room with sound I find that my T is actually better until I sit in the silence for a while. Is this possible? That exposure to safe noise helps and being in the...

I notice fullness only in silence sometimes, my ears begin to feel full... But never pain or diminished hearing... if it is causing my T to be reactive should I avoid it? Also, should I wear plugs or muffs in the car while on the highway? I know it gets up to 93dbC sometimes according to my...

I live in Canada. One day I definitely would try Lenire. But I recognize my case is not severe at all, mostly unnerving. I can only hear it in dead silence which is an absolute blessing and I’d like to keep it that way. That’s why recently I’ve been so worried as when I use my quiet fan for...

Thank you so so much. This made me feel so much more at ease. You are right. Thank you. Where are you living now to be using Lenire? That is fantastic that it is helping you!

I’m dealing with something similar at the moment, while I can’t offer any answers. I can offer you my support. I believe once the fear subsides, you will feel more normal and notice it much, much less. Our fear and anxieties often turn the volume and even instances of T up, I think. I experience...

Firstly let me apologize for the number of posts I’ve made in the last few days. I’m just in a very bad place. A week or two ago; shortly after my tinnitus one year anniversary, I became again aware of the noises. At onset I only had one high pitched tone but over the year I have occasionally...

Hey everyone, I posted yesterday as I’m experiencing new noises due to hopefully some fluid in the ear that should clear up with nasal spray. I feel I’m also more sensitive to noise right now. Regardless, I travel home from uni every weekend with my boyfriend. I ride passenger so no worries...

No, thankfully not. I’m only 20 so hopefully I won’t need to worry about that for a long time. But that’s what I said about hearing problems as well haha. I saw a doctor today, he thinks it’s effusion in the ear. No infection or wax buildup. Ear canal looked irritated though. Prescribed me a...

I will certainly try your suggestions, however I’m not sure if this could be the cause of my new noises. As I’ve heard the clicking/squelching noise every time I swallow since tinnitus started a year ago. And these new noises have become present in the last week or so. I will definitely try what...

Blowing doesn’t cause much pressure at all. But my ears have been “clicking” or perhaps equalizing pressure when I swallow or yawn since I noticed the tinnitus a year ago. I’ve suspected ETD before but was never sure/scared of the tests which determine it.

I’m not sure what you mean by equalize pressure? No idea if my Eustachian tubes are clear. Going to get checked for wax tomorrow or next day hopefully!

I have had a few colds since getting tinnitus and don’t recall all the new noises and such that I have now. I suppose I may be just hyper analyzing everything. I really hope it will settle back down to my baseline. This is reassuring, thank you so much for your reply :)

This is a bit lengthy so I apologize to and thank anyone who reads it!! Hey everyone, I’m new here but have been lurking since January 2019 when I first got tinnitus. To my knowledge it is not noise induced (waiting on audiogram still), my suspicion is that it is related to a wisdom tooth...
