You are right it was just me being overly paranoid. I am almost back to my baseline. Thank you so much for the feedback.

Hello, About three days ago a 9mm gun discharged about two feet from me. It was an accident and so I wasn't ready. The sound of the gunshot was about a millisecond. It was so fast I didn't have a chance to react. All I heard was a boom then a different ring from my tinnitus for about 2-3...

Thank you for not making me feel alone. To answer Lovelyhead's question. I lose my hearing on my left ear for hours at a time. It made me realize that we also use our hearing to gauge distance and what is next to us. A couple of times I didn't know there was someone standing next to me. One...

Hello All, It's been a while since I posted here. Please excuse my english and my grammar. English is not my first language. Anyhow I just wanted to let you know that while I am 95% habituated I still find myself struggling from time to time. This month will be my two year anniversary with T...

Yes mine would be considered mild as I can only hear it when it is quiet. I am scared that it will get louder and I wouldn't know what to do.

I don't think the Vitamins worked in lessening the volume. But it did help in making me feel better overall. The fasting was great too. Thanks! I know I also have quiet days and loud days but it doesn't affect me. In the beginning I was focusing on the sound as much as possible until I lost...

Oh I forgot to add that in the beginning I played a lot of Lumosity games to keep me distracted. I am now 90% smarter lol! :)

Hi All, Today is my 2nd month anniversary with noise induced Tinnitus. I have to say that I am very much better now. I am 100% not bothered by my T. I now could only hear it when I plug my ears or when I lay my head on the pillow. Before I can hear it in the bedroom but now I have to tell...

It makes mine very much louder.

Hi LadyDi, Sorry to hear that your T got louder. My second session was on Monday. He stuck needles in both my ankles, top of my feet, wrists and one on each ring finger knuckle. My T was not higher nor was it lower. But I do feel relaxed. I don't think it's going to do anything for my T. I'm...

I am a Human Resources Director for a medical device company in the Silicon Valley and I own two Wetzel's Pretzels franchises. The pic on my Avatar is Joey Ramone. I'm asian in real life.

That's the word I was looking for, amplifier. Yes my pillow is an amplifier. Ugh it sucks! I don't like closing the door in my bedroom too. My bedroom turned into this soundproof room that I try to avoid as much as possible. I dread visiting my Mom's house because her house is so quiet. And we...

My acupuncturist said the same thing about not being able to cure it and also that some people have it reduced. I hope we both fall into that category. Erik, Good to know that at least it made you relaxed and sorry to hear it didn't help you out with the T. I'm a bit pessimistic about it but...

Haha... I thought of that too. I actually took my iPhone and recorded my refrigerator humming for 20 minutes. I would play it in the bedroom at night. Ahhhh!... refrigerator hum like heroine for my ears.

Per there is still hope. You and I both got our T in June of this year. That is still too soon to tell if it is permanent. I think there is a possibility that it can go away or get better with time. There is a BIG possibility that in a year from now you will be much better. Oh, I don't let it...

I do that too. But sadly it's always there. Mine seems to be louder today and yesterday. I normally don't hear it in the living room but today I can totally hear it. I think it has something to do with me looking for it. You're lucky yours is quiet in the morning. Mine is like a fire alarm in...

I just realized that my drummer's husband is the best acupuncturist in my neighborhood. I went in yesterday for a session. It didn't do anything to lower the ringing but now my left hand is like butter. I have carpal tunnel from years of playing the bass. Now I'm ready to play some Jazz/Latin...

I've been drinking 3 cups a day since I saw the post and it has not done anything for my T. It makes me relaxed though. :)

http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f30/tinnitus-i-no-longer-have-619311/ I saw this at another forum and wanted to share it with all of you. Not sure if it is true but the OP seems to make his T go away by drinking Camomile Tea.

Hello Robert, I understand what you mean about the Doctor's position. It's like trying to tell a little kid that their puppy may or may not live. But if only those people didn't "sidestepped" it then we might be closer to finding a cure. I don't know how you got your Tinnitus and not to put...

No problem Per. We have to stay positive and strong at all times. Grab the bull by the horns and show it who's the boss. Show your T what you're made of. Not all Doctors are bad. Like I mentioned earlier it's like looking for a Mechanic or a Contractor or even a Music Teacher. You have to shop...

Hi Per, Even if it was permanent statistically it will get better. I read somewhere that only 1% of T sufferers are debilitated by it. Last night my T was significantly lower and I was quite happy. I woke up this morning and it was blaring again. What I am doing at this point is just taking it...

Thanks Hudson, I'm so sorry to hear about your T going on for 10 years. I wish mine was intermittent too. I would love to get a break from it once in a while. I had an argument with my cousin who has fibromyalgia. I told him that I would trade my T for his F. He got quite upset and said that...

Thanks again Karen. I will definitely keep posting positive stories that I hear about. And I will definitely post my own positive experiences. I just spoke with a regional manager for one of my stores. He told me that he is a diver and back in 91 he got Tinnitus for about 2 months before it...

Thanks Karen, I just wanted to post how I am getting along with the T as I've noticed there isn't a whole lot of success stories out there. This morning the ringing was almost faded then I got a haircut with earplugs on and when I got into my car the ringing was back to it's original loudness...

Hey Guys, Tomorrow would be my first month anniversary of incessant ringing. I'm happy to say that I am already habituating to it. It doesn't bother me as much as it did a week ago. Since mine is a mild case I could only hear it when it's really quiet (which is rare), when I wake up first...

Hi Per, I did that too and passed the hearing test. But before I left the clinic I insisted that the Audiologist did a high frequency hearing test. She reluctantly did and discovered I lost 9000hz of hearing on both ears. One frequency gone. Everything else was impeccable. She even commented...

Hi Per, I just met someone who had T which according to her was due to stress. Hers went away after a few weeks. I'm praying that yours would go away too. Have you done a high frequency hearing test?

I'm sure this question has been asked here many times. Does anyone know of anybody who have had their T just go away? I met someone the other day that had hers for a few weeks and then it went away. But she said the cause of her T was due to stress. If it is due to Noise does it really mean...

Hello Per, Thank you for the kind words. You are correct we are truly alike. I do think this way about my T. Before the Banshee in my ear moved in I would often think about what the future will bring. I was also quite anxious already to begin with. T is the worse thing for me. I keep on...

I would choose to be rid of my T. I hate to think that the ringing in my ears is the last thing I will hear before I die. (I'm morbid I know.)

He told me that I would habituate in about 3 months. From reading posts online I notice that it usually takes longer for some to habituate. I'm scared that I'm one of those since I tend to dwell on things so much.

My audiologist said the same thing to me yesterday. I was asking the same question. Oh why couldn't we have all fallen into the 20% segment of this? My ENT said that in his 35 years of practice 90% of people will habituate. "I can't explain why: the brain stem just learns to tune it out."

I just literally got over my ETD today. I was prescribed steroids for 7 days to minimize inflammation. I too got the crackling and louder T when blowing my nose. I also heard the crackling noises when I would swallow or talk. There is a test they can do to check if you have ETD. Usually an...

Hello All, My name is Alex several hours ago I was told by my ENT that my Tinnitus is most likely going to be permanent. It's been on my 4th week and the ringing has not subsided. My Tinnitus was bought on by acoustic trauma. For some reason the trauma also gave me ETD or I've had an...
