    Still Struggling With Tinnitus After Five Months. Is This Normal?

    Best way is to accept it and do not look for improvements. If you re access your Tinnitus everyday, you are constantly reminding yourself of the problem. This will bring on stress, anxiety, depression, anger and disappointment. Acceptance is hard but it's the only way. We all know there are no...

    MRI Results

    @NeoM Thanks for the valuable information Yes I'm going through a lot of anxiety right now, but I'm one who refuse to take a pill to mask it. I know once the effect of the pill is gone my reality will come back. It's such a vicious cycle. I don't take anything for anything unless I truly have...

    @NeoM Did your headaches suddenly disappeared or how did you managed it to stop?

    MRI Results

    If I have to describe it, I would choose tension. It kinda creeps on me. It can start off as a pulse. It's almost like an on and off switch from the top right or top left. It can strike anytime. Sometime it does become a full blown headache. Sometime it starts at the temple area too. It doesn't...

    MRI Results

    Susan I don't remember if he referred it to "white matter" spots, I think he just said white spots. They are kinda round and about half a size of a pea. They are in front of the brain left and right area. I did some researched online and it could be a number of things ranging from tumor, MS...

    MRI Results

    Just came back from the Neurologist. Well, As far as the T , H and headaches go, He really didn't have an answer to it. He gave me a few physical and reflex test and said they were OK. I've also developed some twitching in my legs. I believe he was testing for MS. The questionable areas on my...

    I'm Wondering If This Is Hyperacusis or Phonophobia

    Again on this thumping issue. Does it feel like a nerve shock to your ear or is like a low pitch thump. Mine feels like a shock to my inner ear. I get it sometime to certain high pitch noises; metal hitting metal, children yelling, certain voices and sometime my own voice, but usually while I am...

    Hyperacusis and Headaches

    Are you sure your H gets worse because of your headache, or your headache gets worse because of H? I believe my headache gets worse because of my H. It brings me more stress and in turn gives me bad headaches. As far as age being a factor, that I am not sure.

    I'm Wondering If This Is Hyperacusis or Phonophobia

    Kissing a boyfriend would most likely thump. I would try to avoid that at all cost :)

    I'm Wondering If This Is Hyperacusis or Phonophobia

    Can you describe how the thumping feels like? Do you feel the thumping when hearing your own voice and or hear something real softly like a crick or crack at night while you trying to sleep. Also is there certain time of the day where it is worse?

    MRI Results

    @Susan Henderson I'm happy to know that they got rid of your tumor and there isn't any new growth. Yeah just not knowing if you have one lying inside your brain somewhere can be very worrisome. I could probably shop around for a cheaper scan but I really wanted to know as soon as possible. I...

    Hyperacusis on 20/20 TV In US

    I read TRT is very effective and has a high success rate. I have headaches due to H. I read online that people with H normally have headache along with it. Like 70% of the time. Do some of you experience migraine or tension type headaches with your H? Or am I the only one. I seem to get it very...

    MRI Results

    Well I had an MRI of the brain with and without contrast. I believe it has more details than a regular ct scan. They were looking specifically for soft tissues and masses. I don't know what the other details are. All I know is, it was a very expensive photo session. It was loud and I had to pay...

    MRI Results

    I have an appointment on February 28th. I have H and T with occasional mild ear pain and ear fullness with chronic headaches. The left side of my face is sensitive to touch too. It sends a shockwave to my brain it seems. The ENT wanted me to get an MRI to rule out any tumor. Luckily the test...

    Getting Less and Less Sleep... Sleeping Pills?

    I'm not really big on sleeping pills and anti-depressant. I know that they do work wonders and I have used them before (ambien). They can be addictive if overused. You may want to try Tylenol pm first and see if you can get some sleep with it. Do you try to sleep at the same time every night...

    MRI Results

    Well, I just got my results back from a recent MRI. The good news is there isn't any tumor. The bad news is. The radiologist saw some area where he described it as "questionable". My next appointment is going to be with a neurologist. Anyone been to these guys and know what to expect ?

    Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus

    I think my H started from too much drinking and lack of sleep. I use to be some what a heavy drinker. I would drink atleast 6 Heinekens each night. My problem came the morning after I switched beer to Dos Equis. I woke up and noticed my sound was all messed up. Everything sounded so loud and...

    For Last 10 Days Hearing Ringing in My Ear. Is This Tinnitus?

    Could be temporary. It's not permanent until you've had it for over 6 months non-stop. Just stay away from further exposing your ears to loud sound. Good luck. Dont panic.
