I have had plenty of dental work and 2 route canals with heavy drilling in the years I have had T. Effect of Tinnitus = ZERO

I have a 11Khz hiss about in both ears. Changes through the day. Some times the volume goes down and seems to be affected by food intake types and also by tiredness as well. It seems to be also affected by noises around me. For me I just got tired of stressing about something that has no cure or...

Yes you can. I have had Tinnitus for 3 years almost. I hibernated after about 1 year plus. Key is to accept it as a noise you body is making. Like breathing. Do you hear yourself breath all the time?. Only difference is you can stop breathing to stop the noise right ;D. Eat well, exercise well...

Had my T for 2 years and its improved over that time. Maybe my brain has adjusted or maybe its gone down in volume, because I don't stress or notice it that much anymore.

I have had 3 root canals over the years. 3 filling and 1 root canal since having T 2 years ago. No effect on my T good or bad.

Thanks for the information. ;D I have the first 2 on Monday... eek. Sure it will be fine...

Hi, It has been a while since I last visited the forums. I had many life changes over the past year. I am in a good place at the moment. Anyway, I wanted to ask advice on vaccinations. Next March I will go to Asia and need to have Hepatitis A/B and Tetanus. I have read that these can cause...

Been a while since I visited this forum ;D . I hibernated to my tinnitus now and had it for just over a year. I also got mine like Markku. Went in for a ear syringed and got it a few days after ;(.

Only one ear was syringed and that developed T

Yes for sure. It spikes less often also.

Don't visit here much anymore. Have more good days than bad. Secret is just to get on with life..;)

Came back last week from my first week flying. Used nasel decongestants and took paracetamol before the flight. On the trip there I used only earplanes on landing. However my tinnitus ear did ache on taking off. So coming back I used them for the whole flight and it was better. Only thing was...

I think you should not protect your ears too much however. When I listen to music TV etc I generally use only my right ear with in ear head phone to reduce fatigue on my T ear. Hissing gets better, at one stage cars used to make my ears hiss when they went passed me on the street. But not...

Flying for the first time since I got T on next Wednesday. A little nervous ,will use ear planes for landing and take decongestant and painkillers prior to flight. Having reactive T so perhaps my ears will spike...

I think the problem with T is as it gets better your tolerance also changes. Because mine is no where as bad as it was but it annoys me as much as it did.

Yes...it can. I got my T from having my ears syringed.

I have had odd days like that. Very rare and no real reason why.

I have had reactive tinnitus for almost 7 months. ACRN sometimes helps to calm it down and I did try supplements for 5 months with no real change. Although generally its got a bit better with time. -Mornings can be totally silent until around mid day. -Gets worse through the day because of...

My T is far worse in the day if I sleep bad. Quality of sleep is so important. That's why I take melatonin...

Stop thinking about it. Spending hours on forums and live your life. Don't over protect your ears and take melatonin every night. 3mgs...that's what's helped me. I come to check the forums once a week no more. If you spend your time on forums and thinking about your condition all the time...

Just recovering from a bad cold. Tinnitus stayed about the same. I think it felt worse due to poor sleep and feeling bad...

I will start to fly in summer. And I already ordered 2 pairs of earplanes. I am also a little concerned that it could make my tinnitus worse. Of course at the moment its settled into a cycle. Wake up with no tinnitus...slowly get worse over the day until sleeping. I think I will go with the...

Yes I have. I had a tone or tone that drops in out out for a couple of months. Then now its a hiss....

Chewing is certainly an odd thing. I suppose the same nerves that run at the jaw also run to the ears.

I had some tooth fixed with drilling over a month ago and I had zero problems. I did tell the dentist in advance and she seemed to lay off the drill every few seconds.

My tinnitus does indeed go away for a while with a shower or listening to white noise. Mine also changes when I chew something that puts pressure on my jaw. For example a chewy candy. Even chewing gum seems to elevate the problem for a while.

I have had so much bad luck with doctors that I have given up for now. Its too draining for me to constantly try and find answers only to be told to live with it. Please let me know what happens..BTW I still have an odd echo in my ear when I rub it. Sometimes the echo comes into my speech...

Decided to make an update. Been almost 5 months since the onset of Tinnitus. Still have it. Some days good some days bad. What I have noticed... -Tinnitus is now a metal like hiss. Around 10Khz. -Volume has decreased over time. -Does spike for random reasons. -Alcohol seems to help -Caffeine...

Yes of course I understand your meaning. I still suffer from Tinnitus, but when I was protecting my ears too much they were a lot worse in my case. Now my tinnitus is still reactive but its easier to hide with sounds. Where as before sounds would make my ears ring like hell. We have to always...

I went to a night club last weekend and did not suffer any issues. T stayed the same the next day. My hypheracusis was pretty bad at Christmas but by forcing my ears into safe normal sound levels and staying relaxed I've got over it. Still have the reactive T. But I have had the odd minute or...

Acrn works well for me. Only need 5-10 mins for a spike to settle.

Anyone tried antihistamines? My doctor was saying they have had good experiences with patients with antihistamines. I have tried nasal sprays that shrink the nasal passage and help clear the nasal cavity's. Not sure they help that much. But sometimes it alleviates the hissing.

Mines got slightly better over time. It does not react to traffic as much. Normally it totally silent when I get up.

39 after ear syringed.....

Read somewhere that reactive tinnitus has better chance of going away compared to general all the time tinnitus. Mines very reactive and its improved quite a bit in 12 weeks. I suspect it will take months for me to know if mine is for life....

Its got better. But still have hissing that is brought on with exposure to certain noises. If I over do it with sound it goes away for a while...

Mine can spike for odd reasons. Yesterday was fine until I was in a meeting for 1 hour close to a projector fan. Then bam a spike that lasted an hour or so. T certainly behaves strange sometimes...

Someone needs to make an app for this for android and IOS. There are online app creation tools to create IOS and Andriod APK's...wonder if they can work.

My T got better by exposing my ears to everyday sounds. Just avoid sound levels that could cause further hearing looses, like loud concerts ect. My T is reactive. And when I am outside it hisses, prior to that it used to whistle louder. So it improved. When I did protect my hearing to...

Hi, Thanks for the info. How much B12 should I take. Seems 2.5ug is the RDA. Now I am taking B max strong twice a day which is 800% the RDA. ?! My Tinnitus has gone down to a hiss and it has at least become less annoying during sleeping times. During the day it does depend on environment, it...

Hi, Time for an update for those interested in my case. Been a long and at times frustrating 5 weeks. And not just about the on set of Tinnitus. I just find doctors and ENT (so called) specialists useless and do not diagnose the symptoms or take effort and time to try and find the route cause...

Mines got better in 5 weeks. But the hearing system heals very slowly according to doctors. So I expect it will take quite a while for me to know if its permanent or not.

Same here...I have had ears popping for years and cracking when swallowing and yawning, Doctor said its normal...

Maybe you have Hyperacusis. Or like me a hole in your ear drum causing outside noises to agitate the Tinnitus? If its any help I am 5 weeks in about. My Hyperacusis dropped after 2 weeks or so. Still have tinnitus but its dropped from a tone to a hiss. BTW. Do you get echos in your ear when...

I am also sure my hearing loss has been same for last 20 years. T is certainly triggered with different circumstances. The trigger leads or causes the damage.

I thought mine was tied to blood pressure and ended up buying a blood pressure monitor. When I got spike of T I just checked it and it was normal. Easiest way to check your stress levels too.

Happy birthday..

Some induced hearing loss due to age/listening to music. Ear infection, Ear perforation after ear syringing.

Having had this for 1 month myself. I have good and bad days. Today was bad but yesterday was fine. The thing about this condition is its quite a bit about your state of mind. Rest enough and avoid stress. But even then it can spike for no reason.

Paracetamol is perhaps the best option....

My father has had Tinnitus for 6 years and lives in UK. He has had a MRI and other tests. But nothing has been done for him.

Mine goes away during sleep and then gets activated through the day. Some mornings I wake up and its gone totally. Sometimes its just in the background. Kinda odd.

One quick comment. It maybe that notch filter needs to be added more than once. Perhaps 3 times at a Q setting of 20 to attenuate the notch frequency.

Hi, Audiocity is free and has notch included (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/). Bessel filter is best really because you can go 1 octive above and below your Tinnitus frequency (could not find this, pehaps a plug in). But anyway here is a quick tutorial on using Audiocity to create notch...

. I followed this guys instructions. And and I was able to create notch music to my frequency in about 30 mins or so...

I have made some notched music. Problem for most people is you need a music editor that can do filtering and resampling of music. Normally these cost quite a bit. I can write a tutorial if it helps anyone?!

You sample music and remove the band of frequencies that your T is at. Suppose to retrain you're brain over time.

Well don't panic. I have had hypheracusis and T since December. Goes up and down and noise exposure makes it worse. Clicking and cracking in ears when swallowing can be quite normal. I have suffered with this for years prior to T. Stress and lack of sleep makes it worse...I would goto to doctors...

I don't swim..so that's easy for me. But I have been protecting my ears from water and keep them dry.

Have this also. Every time a swallow. Doctor told me its normal with some people. What ever that means
