    Headaches Followed by Whooshing Pulsatile Tinnitus — Freaking Out!

    Guys, I have been getting headaches in my forehead region for 4 months and they have been pretty damn terrible. I have had tinnitus (ringing) since 2016 but lately a whooshing sound has started and it sounds like air going shhh. I don't know if it's in the rhythm of my heart but I know it goes...

    After 6 Years of Coping with Tinnitus, I Developed a Low-Pitched Humming — Caused by Stress?

    Hi everyone. I’ve had tinnitus for 6 years. At the start it was hellish but I somehow managed to cope. Eventually I got used to the noise and it fluctuated up and down. Sadly I’ve gone back to square one and my anxiety levels are tripled. I’m not coping as I’ve developed a low-pitched...

    Once You've Heard It — You Can't Unhear It. My Theory:

    With the exception of illnesses, such as Ménières and many more, I think it's a case of 'once you've heard it, you simply can't unhear it'. It sounds ridiculous and I know some of you will be reading this thinking I am talking rubbish but think back to when it first began. The more you...

    It's Changed for the Worst, But Why?

    I got tinnitus in march 2016 and I went through a hellish 6 months. Finally I started to pick myself up and accept it and was sleeping with the noise, having times (albeit short) where my t would be quiet. Last Monday I was really upset and since that evening I've developed a hissing, dentist...

    I'm So Scared and It's Gotten Worse

    I have had tinnitus since March last year. I went through hell with it and deliberated suicide and all sorts of dark thoughts. I started to cope better with it until last week. Something changed, for no apparent reason it's got worse. It was settling down and then it just got worse and kept me...

    Please Help... I've Made My Tinnitus Worse

    I've had tinnitus for 6 months and I've stayed away from clubs and loud bars. I went out Saturday but wore concert ear plugs but they only protected my ears 12dec which I think wasn't enough. My t has gotten worse. It's taken me 6 months to get to a place where I can function as I was...

    Can You Hear Your Tinnitus When You Put Your Fingers in Your Ears...?

    Can you guys hear the tone of tinnitus when you put your fingers inside your ear with the tinnitus? Can you move your finger around and hear it change the sound so it's like tones in there? When I yawn I hear it do a tone thing. It's horrible :-( not sure how I ended up with t but I'm wondering...

    Whose Tinnitus Actually Went Away Though?

    great to read success stories but not many state it went away. Titles like "severe tinnitus but coping well". To someone like myself who's terrified of it because it keeps changing etc and reading it can be severe and then coping doesn't help me personally. It's great people have found a way...

    Tinnitus Roulette...

    My tinnitus started 3 months ago (no idea why) but it appeared and I latched on the little sound that I heard in my ear which got worse over the days and weeks ahead. When I plug the noisy ear I can hear the noise there like someone is blowing through my eardrum. I used to just hear nothing -...
