    Man, This Reactive Tinnitus I Have Is Just Getting Worse. Last Night Was Horrible...

    If you all have seen my recent post, I've acquired reactive T. After being habituated for a year and a half now to my hissing tone, I've gone back to my dark days. A month and a half ago I woke up to this mild high pitched sound that reacted to stuff like running water and ceiling fans and such...

    What Does It Mean When You Have Reactive Tinnitus on Top of Regular Tinnitus?

    Hi guys. I'm still struggling a bit with my new reactive tone. Tomorrow will be two weeks since I've had it. I'm not struggling the same way is struggled when I first got my regular T (those were some really dark days), but I'm still have some anxiety and I don't have motivation to anything...

    Has Anybody Ever Had Reactive Tinnitus as a Spike?

    My main tone is a hissing tone. I've had it since the beginning when I got it in September 2015. I'm already so used to it and have habituated very well. I habituated 2-3 months in and for the most lived normally. But yesterday I woke up with an new (in a way, old too) tone. A reactive tone...

    Hello. I'm back. I used to post here A LOT last year. But I habituated and I'm doing extremely well right now. :) Maybe I will post a success story soon. To be honest, it hurts coming in this website. TOO MANY bad memories. Anyways, these past 3 days I've had a sore throats and it hasn't...

    Can Reactive Tinnitus Feel External?

    Hello guys. Haven't been here in 2 weeks, mainly because I was doing so great. I basically feel like I'm almost habituated to my regular hissing/static tinnitus that made made cry so much in the first month. I was happy for a while. Still kind of am, but I'm full of fear again. 2 weeks a go I...

    Will I Go Deaf or Have Severe Hearing Loss When I'm 30?

    I'm 17 and I have a mild tinnitus. Not too mild but mild. I got it from listening to death metal music though earphones at max volumes. How I don't have severe high pitched tinnitus is beyond me. I'm still scared that it will get to that point in a couple months. Hope not. What I also fear is...

    I have about three tones right most. I had one, but over the past 5 days I've developed 2. Both being reactive by the looks of it. Is it possible for a tone to go away?

    Oh God Please Help! I've Gotten 2 or 3 New Sounds

    I've got reactive tinnitus 3 days ago on top of my regular tinnitus! It's bugging me so much. I'm hearing wind blowing and a dentist drill. I'm so scared. I was feeling really happy this last few weeks with my regular tinnitus and probably would've habituated in a month. But this RT is insane...

    "Wind Blowing" Sound When Around Loud Noises?

    I have regular tinnitus, like a static hiss, since early September. It has changed sounds since then but it's been the same for weeks with an occasional temporary high pitch change. But on top of that I keep hearing a wind blowing sound whenever I'm around noises. It's really annoying. I was...

    My Reactive Tinnitus Is Back...

    I've had tinnitus for 2 months already. These past few weeks though have been really good. I haven't habituated, but I've tolerated a lot more and I have been sad at all about my T. More like just bothered by it. Anyways, from my 2nd-3rd week of tunnitus I had developed reactive tinnitus, so...

    Could Trying This "Remedy" (Vicks VapoRub) Make My Tinnitus Possibly Worse?

    My grandpa told my mom that a way to help tinnitus is to put ear drops in my ear, then get a piece of cotton, put Vicks VapoRub on it, put the cotton on my ears during at night when I sleep. (If you come from Mexican/Hispanic family, you would find this "remedy" humorous.) Anyways, I'm pretty...

    If Hair Cells Were Damaged, Does That Mean Tinnitus Is Permanent?

    I got tinnitus from loud music from earphones. So the I assume that damaged my hair cells and that lead to tinnitus. Does this mean it's permanent? Or can you have damaged hair cells and not have tinnitus?

    Is Hissing Tinnitus a Good Sign?

    Past 3 days I've had a hissing sound instead of the high pitched ringing. I have to say these days have been much easier. It's way less intrusive and easily maskable. Whereas a week ago it was bothering most of the time. Not it bothers me when I put my head on pillow or when it turns a high...

    Does Tinnitus Mean No More Headphones?

    I'm a month and half into tinnitus and I have not used earphones/headphones since then. I truly miss listening to music. It's seriously a drug. Haha. I got tinnitus from loud earphones from the past couple years. I have a pair of food headphones I want to use. I heard they're a lot more safer...

    Tinnitus Spike After Eating Food with Sugar. Is It Normal?

    10-15 minutes ago I ate 3 cinnamon rolls. Now, my tinnitus is clearly louder. Sucks because I was having a low quiet hiss day. It's still a hiss, but it way louder. Is this permanent?

    Do You Ever Feel Your Tinnitus Around Your Neck?

    Right now, thankfully, I'm having a low day. Right now it's just a low hiss. I hear it but it can be masked easily. Hopefully it stays this way. I may be able to live like this. Just maybe. But anyways what is bothering now is that I feel my tinnitus around my lower head/neck. You all ever feel...

    Why Did My Tinnitus Go From Mild to Moderate?

    Really bugs that when I got tinnitus early September in the middle of the night, I only heard it at night. Now it's mid October, and I hear it most of the time. Some things mask it, but not all. Why is this? I've gone through volume changes and sound changes. I had reactive T for a some weeks...

    What Makes Tinnitus Permanent?

    What makes tinnitus permanent? Does damaged hair cells mean guaranteed permanent tinnitus? If I listened to loud earphones for the past few years does that mean it permanent for sure?

    For the past few days, my tinnitus keeps changing ears throughout the day. I usually hear it in both but most of the time it just feel more focused on one. And focus changes ears. It also keeps getting a high pitch that last for a minute. It's already high pitched all the time, but it gets...

    2 weeks ago. I had bad days all the time and bad nights. I would wake up in the middle of the night with loud T OR extremely louder T. Last week I had better days and okay nights.

    If I Have Multiple Noises and My Tinnitus Is Constantly Changing, That Means It Won't Go Away?

    I'm assuming once you've gotten to the point where you have multiple sounds that change from time to time and have reactive T, that's when the tinnitus becomes so bad and permanent right? I assume the only people who's tinnitus actually goes away are those who just have like one constant tone...

    I'm Wondering, Why Has My Tinnitus Been Developing Since Onset?

    When I first got tinnitus, it just a ringing I can hear in a quiet room. Couldn't here most of the day. Then it became reactive T. Then it became a buzzing in can hear 90% of the time. As of right now I have tinnitus and reactive tinnitus. I've only had it for 7 weeks. I'm scared everyday that...

    So... Anyone Here Got Tinnitus From Listening to Death Metal at Max Volume? Lol

    I'm pretty sure I got tinnitus from spending the past 5 years listening to extreme metal music at loud volumes everyday with earbuds. I'm surprised my tinnitus is not louder than it is right now. Haha. So since I got my tinnitus a month ago I haven't listened to my iPod. It's a damn shame, I was...

    Will There Ever Be a Cure or Treatment for People Who Have Had Tinnitus for Years?

    I see all these new treatments or cures coming out like AM-101 and Aut000063. But what I've noticed is that they only help people who've had tinnitus for months. That kind of sucks doesn't it? What about people who've had it for years. Not exactly fair. I'm worried because by the time these...

    Do You Think I Can Still Practice Electric Guitar at Home?

    I have tinnitus from listening to the iPod with earphones at high volumes during past 4 years. I stopped listening in total unless its from my turntable. But can I still practice guitar with distortion? I never practiced my guitar at high volumes. Not even medium. I always put it in the low...

    Are Tinnitus Spikes in the Middle of the Night Normal?

    You all ever woke up a few hours into sleeping and you wake up with your tinnitus being extremely louder. I woke up today at around 2 in the morning with my really loud tinnitus and with my head buzzing. It subsided after maybe 20-30 minutes. Is this normal? Is it something to worry about?

    Why Does My Tinnitus Keep Getting Slightly Worse?

    I've had tinnitus for a month and every time I get into the mindset where I tell my self "Okay. Tinnitus sucks. But I'm kind of getting used to it" and I start doing normal things again my tinnitus slightly gets worse. I either get a tone, or it gets a bit louder. Why is this happening? Will...

    What Is the Status of AM-101? Also, What Do You Think of Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga)?

    I've had Tinnitus for a month. Now I think my tinnitus somewhat mild. It's loud and I hear over almost everything. But I've heard many stories in here that make my tinnitus seem mild. I have two tones. But I'm asking for status of AM101 because I'm afraid I'll reach a point where my tinnitus...

    Is It Possible to Habituate to Multiple Tones?

    I have a beep happening. And just last night I got a new one. Sounds so much like an Amber Alert. Sometimes it continuous. And sometimes it like an actual where it rings, stops, rings, stop etc. I'm really scared. I'm scared that I will continue to develop new tones and sounds that I won't be...
