Good week was good, but all things come to an end, for now at least.

I’ve had good days before, but this has been my first good week!

6 MONTH UPDATE Hello again Tinnitus Talk, I'm still here. This will be an update on what's been going on with me and my tinnitus. Sadly I would not yet call my story "success", so I'm writing it here. So it's been 6 months almost to the day that I had an acoustic trauma. There has been change...

@Kendra, @Orions Pain, thank you for your advice! I still haven't been to have any tests done, because I'm complacent. The lights and flashes vary in frequency, and it's been a low period, so even though I know whatever is going on hasn't resolved, I convince myself it's not as big an issue as I...

T hasn’t improved or changed all that much recently, but my emotional response has gotten better (for the most part).

Stabbing ear pain when my mouth is open wide; time to add TMJ to the list of things to look into.

Hi all, this health concern of mine has nothing to do with tinnitus, but I know everyone in this forum is pretty switched on and maybe can help me figure out what's going on and what to do. Eye doctors haven't particularly helpful, and neither has Dr Google, who puts up the same suggestions...

Drove home with a loud friend in her loud car. It likely wasn’t loud enough to have a negative impact, but not stressing about it is hard.

Acoustic trauma tones are fluctuating toward improvement, but the tone from a big ear pop is stubborn. Should I bother hoping it'll go?

T is made worse either by sleeping or lying down; going to sleep is doable but after waking up it’s clanging like a fire alarm. Whyyyyy

6 week update for posterity: "pop tone" is still here, and has not reduced in volume.

I thought my original tone might be gone, but no. It just lies in wait. XD

T has progressed the point it's only annoying at night, but damn is it annoying at night!

Morning all, pillow problems. I used to sleep on my side, but like many of us, tinnitus is louder when pressing either ear into the pillow. The loudness is less perceptible with both ears open, so I have tried sleeping on my back instead, but many times I wake up in the night with a visual...

My new T tone hasn’t gone down in volume at all, but somehow... I’m ok with it? Is this habituation?

T is worse than it's ever been, and is entirely different to onset. Different tone, and way louder, especially after sleeping. Very worried.

@ASilverLight I have no clue how loud it was, really. I might be able to check with my watch, but honestly I'm better off not knowing. :p

I keep picking up new tones, from ear popping?? All progress has gone out the window.

It happened again tonight! :cry: In bed, pop, pain, and now a new tone that drowns out the others. I'm so upset.

I jumped straight into 1 x 500 mg tablet per day, taken in the morning. The first couple of mornings I felt a bit nauseous, but no nausea any more. TBH I have no idea how much or how little to take. :confused:

I pop my ears all the time, many times a day, by yawning mostly. Been doing it forever, even before I got T. It feels much like an "unsticking" feeling, and now makes my low frequency tinnitus louder for the time I have my jaw open. Anyway, I was lying in bed (my ears always feel full in the...

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this shite. If I may pass on some advice from my ENT that helped me, maybe it can help you? My situation sounds similar to yours: I was/am uncomfortable with certain sounds like dishes clinking and paper crinkling; didn’t have any pain but did have a...

Managed to meditate into silence today! Just for a minute, but it was a nice minute. :)

Hi all, me again. I promise I’m not trying to spam the forum with my issues, but anyway: I’ve had migraines for 10+ years. They usually follow a similar pattern. Visual aura, then pain, eye pressure, and sensitivity to light. Typically I’d have 6 or so of these a year. Fast forward to now. I...

Mine too. I had one tone initially, then two, now three. Not knowing if it will go away or get better is that hardest part IMO. At least when you break your leg you're miserable for months, but you know that by the end of it you'll have a healed leg, right?

@tbuzz89 About 150 metres away, so not close but not far either. I don’t know if it matters, but the shot came to me from across the open water, so nothing between me and it.

Hey there, I’m in the same boat as you. Same cause, almost the same timeline, though I’m a month behind you. I think the same as you too, hating myself for being stupid enough to let it happen, thinking over and over about everything I did wrong in the days following. And like you, my tinnitus...

Been a rough day.

And just my luck, on a nice evening walk, someone shot a GUN in the neighbourhood. (A starting pistol, not a crime lol.) No ear protection, because who expects a fkn gun to be shot in a residential area! Hopefully no damage was done. Stress is high.

Yesterday I woke up in the night with a spike (tinnitus for 8 weeks now, probably noise induced from an isolated incident). I even took the day off work to make sure I wouldn't aggravate the spike by being in that environment. This afternoon I wanted to walk around my neighbourhood, so I went...

I’m still new to this whole tinnitus game, going on week 8 now. From the beginning I had a different pitch tone in each ear. Both were mild. I was coping well. Worry was way down, and I was back to sleeping full nights without any noise on to mask. Now here I am at 3:30 AM. I’ve woken up with a...

Hi there @DebInAustralia and @ASilverLight , thank you for the kind words. :) Mark my words, no more headphones. I am DONE with those! I am looking into supplements, though I'm unsure how much they may help. I know recovery is a long process, but the first weeks I know are crucial, and...

Hello everyone, unfortunately I've reached the point where I felt it was time to make an account rather than lurk. Hit a low spot, I guess. I got tinnitus in earnest six weeks ago. Blasted both my ears with ear buds at my computer's max volume. It was an accident, and only for a few seconds...
