It's been a long time since I posted. Years I think. I've largely habitutated to my tinnitus (twice now) and it really doesn't bother me. The anxiety around it is still a problem but it's still quite the hole to come out of. Recently however over the last 3 weeks to a month I've been having...

Last time i ran there was this clicking sound in my ear that was in time with my steps, not even sure if it's T related. Are there any runners out there who've experieced this? Didn't really cause any problems but it's made me hesitant to run for fear that it is related to T though as i said...

So a piece of filling just came out, knew it was gonna happen eventually but darn it i feel pretty down. Last time i went to the dentist was a whole lotta stress and no fun and that was pre t so i'm really dreading this. The whole filling didn't come out so i'm hoping nothing needs to be done...

So one of my new fears as of late is my skin care products, I made the mistake of looking up the ingredients and found all sorts of scary facts, my cleanser has salicylic acid which I know can cause temporary tinnitus and while I seriously doubt this has anything to do with my own tinnitus I am...

So I've been wondering this ever since I heard antibiotics were ototoxic. Are the common triple action antibiotics which contain Neomycin safe to apply to cuts and such? I read they're only ototoxic when ingested or injected into the vein but wouldn't applying it to a cut get it in your...

Here goes. About a week ago i noticed a strange sensation/sound in my head. It's pretty strange though, my "normal" t i perceive as sound but this feels like it's in my head, like im forced to think it, though my "normal" t remains unchanged.It also comes and goes, i won't perceive it in silence...

Has anyone experienced this? Lasted probably 20 seconds but it scared me real good, aaaaand now i'm a mess.

Has anyone experienced this? Just happened to me on one of my bad days and really ripped me up emotionally inside but quickly went away just like fleeting T.

pretty simple problem, I love playing piano but I am scared that it's too loud when I play it. Not sure if it is or not I just get this sort of fear/aversion which really bums me out. Are there any musicians out there with similar aversions and how'd you get over it?

2 months in, after the first month it got better and settled, 3 weeks ago a new tone came in in my right ear which was until then mostly quiet, that didn't really concern me too bad since I was at the time feeling better, though now it seems to have slowly ramped up and is scaring the crap out...

I hadn't had a spike for maybe a month, got a few during onset but that was all over the place so it concerned me less. Since I thought the T had settled a bit this one really took me by surprise, didn't even consider it was a spike till maybe 30 minutes in, scared me witless. Today I feel like...

So I've been looking for quieter work since all this started since I work in a semi-noisy warehouse and I've been having trouble. Just had an interview that I think I nailed today for an ecommerce small shipping business and it seemed like a quiet place when I was getting the tour, until I heard...

Lately I've been getting better I think but am still having some serious hiccups. Yesterday I remember hearing the T and not really caring and it just faded away for most of the day, and when it popped up I just shrugged my shoulders and continued doing whatever and forgot about it pretty quick...

The last couple of days I've been trying hard to make positive changes, I've got an interview coming up for a great job, getting back into dating, cleaned up and organized my stuff, shaved and got a good haircut, basically just wanted to start making some positive steps forwards but mentally I...

Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? Sadly I saw one post claiming that because valerian root works in a similar manner to benzos that it could also worsen T through withdrawal symptoms. Now I'm sure this person had little idea of what they were talking about but I'm curious if anyone has ever...

Just had a caffeinated black tea ginger beverage at around 4PM, couldn't of had more than 100mg of caffeine in it, but after drinking it I realize it has caffeine and precede to freak out that I wont get any sleep tonight, which would suck as I'm already tired/sick/tinnitus blah blah blah and...

So from what I understand it's common for a cold to cause a spike yes? and the spike should leave with the cold? I'd research through the threads but honestly I'm afraid of finding horror stories and lately I've been managing my anxiety quite well. The first two days of my cold had no effect on...

My process. Me: Hey google, I'm having some weird but non troubling symptoms, that's nothing to worry about right. Google: O hey Sam, well lets see, hmmmm well I'd say you're probably doomed. Me:.......Screw You Google!! And then I worry.

It comes and goes and for the most part isn't troublesome. Just worried that it might be a sign of something else? I am feeling a little under the weather (dry throat) but don't think I'm sick. I'm hoping it'll just come and go as most of my strange feelings do. I'm dealing with the stress much...

When I went to sleep last night my right ear, which is normally quiet, started peeping up, which bummed me out. Then it started to do some, electrical like sounds if I can call it that, intermittently, barely audible. At that point the T in my left ear started to get quieter and quieter until I...

Pretty self explanatory. Thought I was getting better mentally then I had a upsetting spike while trying to sleep, perceived a problem and down the rabbit hole I go. Seems like all my ear problems come down to me being overly anxious/hyper sensitive. For me I've been drinking this Bob Marley...

And yet another question. Lately I've been feeling some minor pressure in my right ear, no pain or anything just feels like a tiny drum in my right ear when I move about when I'm trying to sleep, like I feel the pressure trying to get out maybe. Also in addition to this there's this feeling of...

Anyone else get this? Last night I had these spikes maybe 20-30 minutes each in addition to some fleeting T that kept coming on every 2 minutes or so alternating in ears. Usually my T is in my left ear but these spikes were leaving tones in my right ear which were freaking me out as they lasted...

I realize that I may be getting over sensitive to this stuff but I figured I'd get some rational opinions on this anyway as I'm in a not so rational state of mind lately. I wanna believe that this is a ludicrous question but then people say that if you have to raise your voice to be heard that...

So this might sound strange to some but I went to the gym today to try to get back to my old routines as we'd all like to I'm sure. The music was of course too loud so I popped in my earbuds (no music)to take some of the edge off and I think they did. Sadly while I was hitting the heavy bag...

Hey all I'll try to make this short. So I woke up slightly more afraid of my T than usual, been thinking about it during the night toooo much, but had decided that today I would try coffee regardelss of my reservations given that I've seen the caffeine reactions on here are all over the place...

So I've been hit by about a half dozen loud noises this week since the onset. Heavy doors closing, industrial gates being shut that sort of thing. Most times I'd think I'd be able to avoid it but I've been so darn tired lately I've made mistakes and got caught off guard. Should I be worried this...

Has anyone else had experience with multiple sounds during their beginnings of T? Not sure how many sounds rotate around my head, maybe like 5 or 6 with one that I actually don't mind (sounds like a hot water pipe or seashell). It seems like i'm getting new ones but I can't be positive. Also...

Wasn't sure if this was the appropriate place to post this but I was hoping for a little advice. I'm finding going to work to be slightly anxiety producing because there are occasional loud noises from time to time. I work in a receiving dock for a major retailer so there are industrial balers...

So the T left my right ear for a full two days, after my gp told me that he thought my tinnitus would go away I started to get my hopes up. As I lay down to go to bed I realize there's and electric vibration/numbness pulsing feeling coming from my right ear that crosses through my face, and when...

Hi all, kept reading all these posts and found so many reassuring that I figured I'd join in. Been about a week now and honestly I think the worst part is the fear that I might inadvertently make it worse. Objectively the T itself seems like something I can get use to, though it changes in pitch...
