I got pulsatile tinnitus in February 2015 and "normal" tinnitus (both ears) in August 2015. I've also had the machine gun ear drum fluttering, but it lasts seconds. My life has only been very minimally affected by tinnitus. Now I have this new noise, it's confusing and, obviously, annoying...

So, having a spike/increase in tinnitus after 4 years (4 years tomorrow I believe...yay :rockingbanana::rockingbanana::rockingbanana:). I got to the point yesterday when I realized I couldn't hear it in the office (only when I moved/walked around). If walking around outside I could only hear it...

So, ironically, this week is my 4th Tinniversary. I would class my tinnitus as mild. When I first got it I had a couple of bad months like everyone. I think I also had a bit of hyperacusis due to the tinny sound over the TV etc. However, apart from a month or two last spring, I’ve not really...

okay, okay. Yes, I know we are not meant to mask sounds too much when sleeping. However, I had an early start today (4:30am) and so was already a bit stressed trying to get to sleep early... and could have done without the left ear droning and the right ear eeeeeeeeeeing (and the muscles above...

Okay, so I know that anxiety (the fear of tinnitus etc) make tinnitus go up... My question is though... is it the level of tinnitus that has increased (louder). Or is it just the perception of the loudness of the tinnitus that has increased? Or, is it, a little from column A, and little from...

So, been struggling with my High-Pitched tinnitus becoming more noticeable over the last few weeks (2 weeks today I think). I can hear it over the car (but not when the radio is on). I can hear it over the general hum of the office or in a meeting. I can hear it when walking outside, even...

So, I used to love white noise (from a fan). I've used it for many years, like 14 years. I have only had t for 2.5. When. I got t I noticed white noise would only mask the low noise and I used crickets on my phone to mask the other noise. Currently going through a bit of a relapse (2 weeks so...

Hi all. This is my first post in this board. I've had intermittent PT I think from about early 2015. It doesn't really bother me that much (unlike my other tinnitus that I've had since mid-2016). I can go for days and weeks without noticing it and will only notice it generally when I'm in a...

Okay, sorry for the post, just need to vent. I am also aware that “habituating a second time” means that I didn’t habituate properly the first time. The thing was, for 2 years, my T didn’t bother me at all. It masked itself during the day, I didn’t notice it at home, and I masked it during the...

So, I’ve had T for over 2 years. I first got it about 3 weeks after a cold, but didn’t really notice the cold; a wee sniffle. A week or so after my T, I noticed my ears felt full. A lot of people said it was stress/anxiety (make sense). Went to have my hearing checked and the nurse said my...

My tinnitus journey started 2.5 years ago…so I guess I’m in the permanent club now. After the initial dark weeks where I didn’t sleep and didn’t want to do anything other than sit in my room and constantly research tinnitus, I made a great recovery, to the point where I didn’t think about my T...

So why should I be positive? After all my high pitch tinnitus in my right ear is more intrusive than ever. It can't be masked very well and I hear it most of the time. I've had tinnitus for over two and a half years as well so I'm guessing what I have now I will probably have for the rest of my...

Hello all. This is my first post for few years. I got tinnitus after a cold (I think) in the summer of 2015 In my left ear I have that constant kind of fridge noise. A relatively low pitched dulk noise. My right ear sometimes sounds like clicking or water trickling. However over all of...

Hi. Looking for any advice if you please as this whole thing is very confusing. Mid July I had a little cold…nothing too bad, more of cough then anything. So, noticed T in my right ear at the start of Aug. Was fine for the first week, before freeking out a little in the second. Saw my GP...

So my tinnitus started a few weeks ago with a ringing in my right ear. After about a week it was a hum in my left that I noticed. Now I have that ultra high pitch ringing in mainly right (but feels like it's in my head). This has been with me (or noticed) since Friday, so nearly a week. I...

So today was going so well. As some points i was starting to think, nay, believe my t was going to easy to conquer....I could only really hear it when everything was silent... Went for a walk and listening to the radio (on quiet, not that my t is related to hearing loss). Back home. Turned to...

Hi all. Quick back story. Had t for a couple of weeks. Freaking out....Then happy again...Then freaking out....we've all been there. I think I could beat this if..... I've always used white noise (a fan), for years, I just like it. Indeed it was a recent night when I thought my fan was making...

Hi. So, I've posted in the intro section, but am sure this will get more attention in here. Essentially, I started with pulse T a few moths ago but it didn't really affect me and I didn't think anything of it. A couple of weeks ago I had a normal cold. This past, but last week I started with...

Hi all. Thought I would share my story of “T” so far…… So, a few months ago I noticed that I was getting a pulse sound in my right ear, normally when I was sat down. It would only happen maybe once a day, for a few seconds, then everything would be back to normal. Prior to that I also noticed...
