You're Welcome Kolisar! I've had Tinnitus since I was a child! By the way I'm in the honors college and in the accelerated masters program for philosophy at the University of Arizona. Just because I have Tinnitus doesn't mean I can't succeed in life!

Hello Tinnitians! I am so happy to say that my 3rd year at the university hasn't been stultified by a spike I had over the summer because of antibiotics. My secret to making tinnitus go back to base line was just focusing on my education and not the new tinnitus. It worked! I no longer need...

My tinnitus is more intense than it ever has been before, due to ototoxicity. I am really learning to adapt to the permanent spike by accepting it and helping my self by not drinking and smoking bud. It also helps a lot to not eat super salty and fatty foods. I had tinnitus all my life, but I...

Taking habituation seriously by not drinking, smoking and eating junk food is necessary in order to achieve the very thing one wants.

I found habituation again. I found it through the constant focus of the empirical as opposed to the focus of innane ideas about tinnitus.

Tinnitians are the most interesting type of people in the world.

Today was a good day to have tinnitus. I believe that habituation is happening now. Tinnitus is something that doesn't define who I am, so I am free to live my life as I please. Sleep is something that I do struggle with from time to time, but the less I stress over sleep the more I get. I know...

I can relate @Raphael7713 Ive been having a lot of trouble with my T during the night. I haven't been able to sleep either. I think it has to do with how we see the problem. When we start to distress over lack of sleep because of tinnitus then that belief becomes the fuel for more self...

I'm happy I found this website. I had tinnitus for so long and I never knew about such a great community of T sufferers. I love you peeps

I hope your mycin induced tinnitus has subsided. I actually experienced a spike in my T from Azithromycin a few months ago.

I deactivated my Facebook, so this forum is my new social media. I am here for anyone who wants to talk. I know tinnitus is hard to live wit

It's not important for me to understand my T. The more I unfocus my self away from it, the less I can hear it.

It was 5:30 am approx. I was scared. Before this I was dreaming of hanging out with my friends at Starbucks, and then all of a sudden I hear eeeeeeeeee super high pitched ringing as if someone had instantly blazed the volume in my dream. It woke me up, and then it was gone! It must have been...

I thought I was habituating. I had a spike in my usual tinnitus because of an ototoxic drug three months ago. My habituation process wax and wanes. Some days I'm happy and not even noticing it, and other days it's killing me. I think the best strategy for me is not giving up on my life because...

This is big for me. I was scared of the silence because of what my new tinnitus sounds like, but today I decided to face my fears and turn the fan off all day while I relax. It turns out it wasn't so bad without the fan, it was better because I am getting tired of the fan sound going on all the...

Having tinnitus is so hard to live with. Everyday is a battle to enjoy life. I see so many people around me not aware of the pain that Tinnitus is. Having noise in your head with no rhyme or reason is just unbearable. It's frightening to realize that it will never go away. But something...

@Carole F My brain does the same thing with the Tinnitus tones. My theory is that the brain is basically playing with the sounds in our heads. I have an active imagination, so it would make sense that my brain is provoking my imagination to hear sirens or music. The best antidote for me is to...

Hello fellow Tinnitus Talk family! I was recently poisoned by Azithromycin. I thought that because I suffered ototoxicity I wouldn't be able to complete my BA in philosophy. Well this happened the beginning of May, and I'm already starting to habituate!!! My technique is simply to gently...

Thank you @Elinor. It is unfortunate, but I am managing. It was hard because during my recovery from azith I was doing fine up until two weeks, and then I caught a virus. It made me go kind of crazy because I was really improving from that ADR. The virus seemed to bring back all the problems I...

No I don't have asthma. I'm pretty sure it was the drug that caused it. I might have had a bad batch of the drug that wasn't manufactured correctly. Or, my body suddenly became intolerant to it. Idk but I've been struggling with a lot of bad side effects still. Some of them are starting to go...

@DeblnAustralia yes it did. The spike is so bad that I can longer sleep like I used to. I wish I would have researched azith more before I took it. What makes me really think about the whole situation is that I actually took Azithromycin last November for recurring bronchitis with zero side side...

I'm 27. I had tinnitus since I was probably 4 years old. Used to have a lot of ear infections. I used to think T was normal. Over time I remember my tinnitus gradually becoming more noticeable. But I always had control over it. The beginning of May I had a persisting cough which was...

Hi @Gobi, I'm new to TT. I recently started experiencing a distortion when I try to mask my T with a fan. How did you manage this? Did it go away? I keep hearing a wa wa wa sound. Thank you

@The_T has your tinnitus spike gone down from the Azithromycin? I recently had taken 6 250mg and experienced a spike that's still with me. Thanks

Hi @Terje788 I am new to the TT. I have had tinnitus for a long time, but never noticeable except in quiet rooms and before bed. I took Azithromycin (six 250mg tabs) the beginning of may 2017, and I experienced a huge spike in tinnitus. I actually found out that I took Azithromycin in November...
