I need to vent. My tinnitus started over 8 years ago while I tried to come off of Clonazepam. My dad developed tinnitus coming off of pain killers and SSRIs. And if you've been on the forum for a while, you know there are pharmaceutical drugs that can cause or worsen tinnitus. It angers me...

In March I had miscarriage. It doesn't end there. My phobia of choking along with horrible anxiety came back. My doctor wants to put me on Celexa but I'd prefer to avoid SSRIs. I came off of Zoloft in October. I haven't been sleeping well all week. I wake up around 4am to 5am everyday. I take...

My son woke me up to be breastfed. Noticed my ears were pretty loud and my anxiety soon tried to take over but I managed to push it aside. Trying to relax so I can fall back asleep. Anyone else notice loud tinnitus if they get woken up suddenly? Kind of ruins my day following a rough night's...

I decided to do a charcoal mask. Tomorrow a hair cut. My tinnitus hasn't been horrible but it hasn't been pleasant and I'd like to still keep going on with my life. Post a picture of what helps you or what you do for distraction.

While I was pregnant I noticed that when I took benadryl to sleep my tinnitus would seem to quiet down the following day. I've been wanting to take some with my recent spike to see if it would have the same results. But my son still sleeps with us. He is bigger (not an infant) over 20 pounds...

My tinnitus is awful tonight. It won't let either. Usually if I play some of my favorite masking album it will break up the tones but not tonight. It just gradually got louder before I laid down. It was tolerable all day and now it's blasting away. I want to take something but my son still...

Woke up tonight around 3am with a spike in my right ear. It was pretty loud. I immediately started having a panic attack. My hands started tingling and I wanted to run out of bed. My ear felt clogged up too. After 2 hours of having panic in my sleep my ear popped and it went to baseline a bit...

Thought I'd post some pictures of my boy...

These last couple of months have been really difficult for me. I was in the process of starting to build my online shop (I sell and collect vintage toys). I was starting to feel better about myself. BAM! I was fired and to add insult to injury I was pulled over by the cops in the same day. Took...

I hate the time right before my period starts! It's so damn loud! My ringing is not only reactive but it's even worse tonight and it's driving me crazy. I've read that this can happen for other women. So awful. I just want to sleep. Beautiful, blissful sleep.

My panic came back recently and although my tinnitus doesn't seem too much louder it seems to be fueled by it. It's caused me a great deal of anxiety not knowing whether this Beast can get any louder or what if it does. I think right now the what ifs or what's causing a ton of my anxiety. My...

A few weeks ago I noticed a spike in my T, nothing terribly crazy but bothersome none the less. Two weeks ago I lost my job, I was fired. I figured this was a good thing, I worked at a donut shop and was eating poorly and thought this be a factor in the spike. The spike is still there and...

Welp, my son is a little over five months old. He's an amazing little boy, full of smiles and excitement. Although my labor was intense and scary, I have a beautiful baby. My tinnitus is still loud but only slightly lower. When my son needs me, I don't have time to think about it too often. I...

Usually I don't experience a spike in the evening until about midnight but my spike started at 5pm to 6pm. Being pregnant limits my options. Thought about jumping in the shower, sometimes that's soothing but the hot water goes quick. Its my day off and I wanted to relax but instead I'm a busy...

My co-worker told me his story tonight and I found it to be encouraging for anyone who has had this for a brief time and wish I had meant him 3 years ago. He was on a ton of medication. He was an alcoholic in the 70's and when he stopped drinking he wasn't doing well emotionally. They put him on...

I have to get up in six hours. My father in law is in town. My T has been flaring up to a high pitch whistle the last few nights, making it hard to fall asleep. Tonight it started to make me panic again. I wanted to tell my spouse to let me stay at home, let me sleep. I don't know how to handle...

In my darkest hour, suffering from tinnitus and panic disorder, I read this often. Maybe it will help you too.

Went to the ENT and she said tubes were swollen. She sent me to a audiologist to have my hearing tested. During the pressure test, she said my right eardrum is "stiff" and abnormal. She wants me to make sure there is nothing behind the ear drum causing this and I'll be going back to the ENT. She...

I realized after my little post that I haven't introduced myself. I've had tinnitus for over 3 years. I remember when it started, I was lying in bed with my ex-husband and watching TV, I went to turn off the TV and it was so loud, the ringing. I tried to plug my ears, like I usually do and the...

Hi, I've had tinnitus for over three years now. When it first started it was unbearable. I started taking my clonazepam more and melatonin. It took a while, probably a year to where it was manageable. It never was loud enough that I couldn't watch tv or go about my daily life. At 30 weeks...
