    A Pattern in My Tinnitus: When I Wake Up in the Middle of the Night, the Tinnitus Is Very Loud

    Hey! As always, thanks for lending your time. Before getting into this - I want to set the stage to say that I really don't struggle with tinnitus anymore. I live my life as if I don't have it - except unlike most people that haven't experience it - I use earplugs when everyone else should...

    So overall my ringing is down tremendously. Same goes for sound sensitivity. I do still have near constant earache though. Anyone experience this?

    Habituation?

    It's early stages for me still. Just hit 3 months. To say I'm habituated would be nonsense. That said, I do have good, happy days. I think this is legitimately due to low symptoms levels on those days. I can't help but be mildly depressed by how often many of the "habituated" veterans are...

    Is This Reactive Tinnitus?

    Hey all, I recently noticed that when listening to certain music, in this case George Winston (solo piano), some notes leave a "feedback" ring in my left ear; it's as if someone verrrrrry quick put a mic near the speaker, almost an echo to the piano note (thankfully it stays in key). I haven't...

    Stochastic Resonance Phenomenon

    Can anyone describe what this is? I've read that it needs to be avoided while doing TRT with the devices. before anyone posts a "let me google that for you" link - I already did. A simpler explanation would be appreciated.

    Tingling

    The symptom du jour for me is a tingling sensation in my nose/ hard palate, tooth. It's always the same spots. Anyone experience this? I had this like 2 weeks ago for a night and it faded. Now it's here for 2 days.

    Overall Sensitivity

    Hey all, Over the past 2months I've improved a lot. I sleep better, I panic less, and I generally have 1/10th the symptoms I had in the first 2 weeks. That said - everything still seems so LOUD. I don't have H. I opened a bottle of champagne last night, loud pop - no pain. When the bottles...

    Wakes Me Up

    So I have this fun pattern of falling asleep super easy, but waking up about 2 hours later and not being able to fall back asleep - usually for a few hours. I try everything short of taking pills to no avail. Usually this is accompanied by some louder than usual ringing for about 30 mins, and...

    Testing in Rats

    Can someone please explain how you can test for a subjective sound in rats? I read all these studies that show bla bla bla stopped the sound in rats. Yet - when I go to the doctor they can't test to see if I have a noise objectively?

    What Exactly Is a Tinnitus Spike?

    Hey all, I'm kind of new here / to this in general. I've read a lot - and I'm somewhat confused as to what a "spike" actually is. Contextually it seems to mean different things to different people, and since this is a subjective health issue - I'm curious what everyone thinks. How long do...

    Ringing Headache

    Hey all, I've joined the torment that is Tinnitus a week ago. I went to a show, that I didn't have any interest in the artist, ironically because my wife and I "won" free tickets. Most expensive night of my life. Long and short of it is I noticed my ear was sore for a day or two after, but...
