I have mild to severe 4/10 to 7/10, depends on the day. I've just accepted it. I have a medical condition that is very serious—I just don't have time for my tinnitus—this other condition if not treated could be devastating (not saying that tinnitus isn't—I felt like the world had jumped it's...

Experiencing another evil T spike. Sleeping with pink-noise again. Yup, I'm the pink noise junky. I miss when my fan blocked my T!

I get spikes too. Mine is also a 4-5/10, but sometimes goes to 7/10. Especially at night! Or when I've been especially stressed. For me the spikes can last a day, a week, a month(s). But then go back to a 4-5 like you. I don't know why it does this, I'm not exposed to loud noise all the time, I...

My tinnitus has gotten worse overtime—fan no longer blocks it out. It gets really bad sometimes, blatant spikes for a while, a day, a week, months, then it goes back to where my brain had first habituated to it. I play with different forms of white noise (brown, pink, etc). This helps me sleep...

Totally understand. I lived alone on the east coast when I moved for my job—knew no one but my coworkers (they were awesome though, a few were longtime T sufferers, so they understood). When I first got it, it just popped up out of nowhere—one day I didn't have, then the next I did. I wanted to...

I know how you feel—I sometime get it so bad that it is hard to not notice it during the day, I get spikes that drum the zinging buzzard into the foreground not matter what I do. As for me, I think the ear maskers sound interesting. I've wanted to try that, but my insurance will not cover it, my...

First - I've been gone for a long time - I just graduated from college (with my second bachelors a few months back in Info and tech) :D. Thank you everyone for your responses to this thread. Your responses are helpful! And encouraging. I got sidetracked by job hunting since I graduated, and just...

I admit, since it spiked, I've been a hermit—stayed home with my bandaids, my ambients and pink noise (today being Sunday, I'll be up and at it Monday, so no time for T). At least I can sleep through it—how the heck I do that I don't know, I lay on my pillow and my T rings and rings and rings...

Hello - what I do (as I have mild to sometimes severe tinnitus, where I can hear my tinnitus over everything), I use masking noise at home—like music, pink/white noise, or ambient sounds that are the same decibel as my tinnitus to help retrain my brain to associate the ringing with other things...

Hi, I just wanted to share my story, I might have at one point in the past, when I first got T. I've had T for 5yrs now (I'm 36). It fluctuates from a 4/10 to 7/10. When I first got it, it just popped out of nowhere, I thought it was the end of the world—I kept doing the things I had to do...

Thanks everyone! Thanks Brianna for your wonderful words and some really wonderful advice. Stress has a huge effect on T. The thing I find the hardest is getting sleep! It's so hard to get sleep! Sleep aids only get you so far. Have any of you tried a Tinnitus Masker? The in-ear devices that...

I appreciate the replies - Michael and Danny. Danny that is an interesting app they way it matches difference frequencies of noise. I'll play around w/it more. Michael, thanks for the response, you are right in so many ways!

Hi. I'm 32 - turning 33 in a wk. Had T for a year now, wasn't so bad at first, I habituated and largely forgot about it. Now it's worse, and that got me worrying, so I scoured the net looking for anything of a resolution (or healthy form of relief). Most of us know what T is like, so I won't get...

White noise machine is my friend (and my fan).
