    Small Pleasures of Life

    I've learned that I can effectively fight tinnitus through the use of staying active, going to work and using white noise to sleep. All this said, I'm tired of the fight. I don't want to fight tinnitus. I want to be done fighting because it's exhausting. I feel like T has robbed me of the...

    Ear Hisses

    Hey guys, Both of my ears ring but my left is far worse. I would describe the ringing in my right ear as "normal" or something that I probably would have never though twice about. My left ear however is annoying and it "hisses." The ringing from my left ear is audible in a quiet room and...

    Freedom

    My T started December 20th. Laying in bed that night I heard my ear ringing and so began my journey. Although I guess the journey had started some time before that as I was at a low point with my anxiety. I was convinced I had heart problems and was soon to die (I'm a healthy 18 year old). But...

    Tinnitus Is Everywhere

    I'm starting to learn how common T is and somehow it's made my experience a bit easier. Since I've been going around talking about it I've learned that my aunt (not blood) has it since her teens, my grandma (not blood) had it since her 20s, my other grandma (blood) is completely deaf in one ear...

    Working Out

    Yesterday I went to the gym. It's been awhile since I worked out and am looking forward to getting back into it. Something weird happened though. When I was really into my workout and doing some more demanding exercises my left ear (the one effected the most by T) felt clogged and blocked up...

    Getting My Life Back...

    I've been doing considerably better with my tinnitus since onset. I've been able to concentrate more in college and have returned to work. I can now enjoy some things that seemed impossible before. However, every day I am catering to my tinnitus. Every day it is on my mind when I wake up and on...

    Reasons for My Tinnitus?

    My ears have been ringing three weeks now and it started seemingly randomly. I'm seeing an ENT in two days and am looking forward to getting to the bottom of this, but in the mean time I've been trying to figure out what is causing it. I had been in a deep depression for weeks prior to the onset...

    Old TVs

    My ear has been ringing for 3 weeks and thank god I am finally seeing an ENT this week. Anyway, I've also noticed that when I'm near an older TV it makes a screeching sound in my ear only audible to me and far louder than anything else in the environment. For example, last night I went out to a...

    Chirping Sound?

    I keep noticing this intermittent "chirp" in my ear. It accompanies my consistent ringing but it happens seemingly randomly. It sounds like a small bird chirping once in my ear, at a very high pitch. Although the chirp is louder if the environment is louder and quiet in a quiet room. When it...

    It's Getting Worse and I'm Losing My Mind

    My T started 2 weeks ago with no obvious cause. I was in a major phase of anxiety as outlined in a previous post, but the ringing started spontaneously. I have a history of loud music from playing in a band but I hadn't exposed myself to anything too loud in over a month before the onset. In...

    Anxiety and Tinnitus

    Hey guys. I'm a 19 year old college student living at home. My ringing started a little less than two weeks ago, but to understand my situation I'm going to explain the past month: Early December I was going through a lot of stress because I was paranoid about my digestive system. I spent two...
