    Ear Wax Build-Up at Entry of Ear Canal

    Hi. I am just checking up here. I have also opted for the natural process of ears cleaning themselves. Do you still do it this way? Has there been any complications? Dillon

    So Sick of My Un-Sympathetic Family...

    Just need someone to talk to. Since I got tinnitus 1 year ago. From the first day my mother has treated me like shit, never ever recognizing my tinnitus. Just want to talk to someone about it.

    It's going good! The body and brain really have an amazing( but scary) way of retraining itself. Hyperacusis I only really notice with dishes and I am careful of bikes. We've been given this altered state of reality yet we still wanna alter it more with the weed.

    Does this relative also have tinnitus? Or just hearing loss?

    Working in a Casino with Tinnitus?

    Casinos are loud. But then again so is a pencil dropping in a quiet room. I'm just glad I can hear them at all.

    Working in a Casino with Tinnitus?

    Tinnitus itself doesn't seem to bother me... it's just, I fear hearing loss, and going deaf. But there are hearing aids to help me if that is the case? The tinnitus I know will never go and I am at the stage where I can say I am 50% habituated.

    Working in a Casino with Tinnitus?

    Hi everyone. I am about 9 maybe 10 months into my journey with tinnitus. Safe to say I am not in panic phase anymore. Still find myself a little bit angry about it, but I'm sure with time I will get over it. My question is: I am 24, and I need to make money. I am currently unemployed. The best...

    Blocked Ear When Inhaling During Exercise

    So today, for the first time in about 2 years, I decided to go gym with my friend. He's pretty good at it and I think he was pushing me (which I think is good!). However, after about 30 mins, I would realise everytime I would inhale that my ear seemed to spaz out and become 100% blocked...

    So... Is It Okay for Me to Listen to My Music a Little Louder?

    Thanks all. I keep volumes consistently under 80 dB (maybe even 70 dB). Plug up if it gets louder than this. I am only 24 and have a long journey ahead with my tinnitus. One thing's for sure, I'll never use headphones ever again, however, I might wanna listen to some music a little louder and I...

    So... Is It Okay for Me to Listen to My Music a Little Louder?

    Just to start by saying my tinnitus is noise induced, about 8 months in. And I will never wear headphones again, I am generally cautious of sound too. My question is, obviously I got this affliction by listening to music, and have been keeping volumes very low since then. Is it okay for me to...

    Marijuana / Cannabis and Tinnitus

    Well an update on this comment. 1 in 3 times it seems to make my tinnitus (dare I speak its name) quieter, or maybe just not notice it? Also, I'm trying to look at things in the long run, as I'm only 24. Marijuana has a strange way of making you face your fears. It may spike the perception of...

    Developed High Blood Pressure Together with Tinnitus

    Hi Doctor. I am really stressing out. Not about my tinnitus, but the fact that I have developed high blood pressure at the same time as my tinnitus appeared (3.5 months ago). I am 24, and have a consistent BP reading of 140/90. My question to you is, do you recommend I take BP medication or...

    Tinnitus and Hyperacusis for 3 Months — The Hyperacusis Is a Nightmare

    Hi everybody. I have had tinnitus (very high pitched beeping sound) and hyperacusis (sounds like white noise, static or even the ocean) for about 3 months from what I suspect years of torture and strain on my beautiful ears (at least they were). The tinnitus is very low in volume and high in...

    Does Tinnitus Mean I'm Going Deaf?

    Considering the amount I have put my ears through since I have been physically capable of operating a mp3 player I believe mine is noise-induced. Had it a couple times after gigs and parties, but this time it's been here for 3 months so far. I don't know if it just my anxious mind running wild...

    Is it a symptom of hearing loss? Or does it make me more susceptible to hearing loss?

    Does Tinnitus Mean I'm Going Deaf?

    I have been reading a book about Beethoven and he had tinnitus from about 25 or so... Eventually went almost completely deaf( think about 95%). Was just wondering if having tinnitus means I am going deaf. I am only 24 and if that is the case, wonder If I will make it to 50 with my hearing...

    Cinnarizine/Stugeron

    Hi. Hope someone sees this. I was wondering if it would be safe to take 50mg of Cinnarizine daily for a month long. (1x 25mg in the morning and 1x25 mg in the evening) It is helping my sleep a lot and therefore making my tinnitus less noticeable. I would like to see if it will have even more...

    Closing in on the Fabled 3 Month "Acute Tinnitus" Period — Experiences with Weed?

    Strange. I also sometimes get really bad headaches sometimes. Not sure exactly why that is, strangely enough also seems linked to when I used to smoke a lot of weed. Now I don't really get them much. But the stress from having tinnitus sometimes gives me some pretty bad headaches. Thank you. I...

    Yes I will try. But it is so difficult. How often does a spike become permanent? It usually goes away as soon as I go to bed and wake up. But those spikes are intense. A solid 10

    I live in South Africa. It is very easy to get thc oil for me. But I believe I am looking for the isolate as it wont have any psychoactive properties. A friend says he can get it for me. But I am not sure it will be pure cbd. I dont mind spending the extra for the oil as I think it will be...

    Hi again. Sorry to bother. I am interested in getting myself some CBD oil. I can get it from a number of people I know( mostly stoners). Was just wondering. Is there anything I should look out for in specific? Strong stuff, weak stuff, should I get it from a friend or should I buy online?

    I guess stress is the main culprit. Although I am not a stressed out person. Feels like the t is just adding onto my normal life this creating the stress.

    Let me just add, manageable in the sense that, if I do nothing, nothing at all, my tinnitus is a 1. I just can't see risking my ears further by being around anything other than myself.

    Hi everyone. So my tinnitus is noise-induced. This was a typical day in my life as a 24 year old. Wake up. Smoke weed. Listen to music. And smoke a lot more and listen to a lot more AMAZING music. I am also a music producer( guitar, keys, etc). My tinnitus is mostly very soft and manageable...
