Hi all, It's been a LONG time since I have been last online on this forum. During the past year I have thought multiple times of posting my success story here, but I never took the time to write it. Why? Apparently I had better things to do. I have experienced tinnitus plenty of times before I...

My tinnitus has changed, a lot. Since the beginning (one high pitched pure tone), many other sounds have entered the scene, so now I hear many many pure tones on different pitches, white noise and morse code. I begin to wonder: what kind of sounds are not there in my head? Do any of you also...

Hey there, I recently achieved my Master of Science degree in physics and soon I will have to choose between two jobs offers. :) One of them is a job as R&D scientist, in which I will work with ultrasound on a daily basis. I think that this job suits me best. Now, I can imagine that not many...

Hi folks, Last Friday I moved to a pretty old house and found that the wall between us and our neighbours is so thin that you can hear it whenever someone speaks on the other side of the wall. This wouldn't be a problem if our neighbours didn't have a lovely daughter who tends to cry and scream...

My tinnitus is of the changable kind. Multitone, left different from right. Left ear has the loudest and most tones. There are only pure tones by the way. It can be different every day, sometimes it changes by the hour. Thought I must say that it seems to be that the number of different tones...

I mask my tinnitus with pink noise following the principles of TRT during daytime, using my earbuds. Earlier I found pink noise a blessing, since yesterday it suddenly annoys me and I do not know why. Anyone else experienced this before? I am not sure what to do, the masking sound is still...

So my psychologist says that anxiety for anything is more effectively treated when someome is exposed to the whole thing. For example, a person with anxiety for spiders can most effectively get rid of the anxiety by holding a tarantula staight away, instead of starting with for instance a...

I was wondering what crying can do with tinnitus. My tinnitus often frustrates me. My brain still reacts to it with much annoyance even though I have told it thousands of times that the ever changing sounds are harmless. Sometimes I feel sad. And some of these times I find that I might be able...

TRT says that one should set the masking sound below the mixing point. My problem with this: I have multiple tones in my head. The higher tones I am sort of used to by now, but I still react to the lower tones. The tones all have their own sound level, the high pitched ones being loudest. I...

As the title says. Could silence make tinnitus worse? I know I still react to my tinnitus and sound enrichment surely makes it a lot better. But sometimes (say, when you go to the bathroom at night) you cannot avoid silence. Is that a problem?

Yes, I chose a vague title on purpose. I need some responses. :D My only option for a tinnitus sound generator is a hearing aid with tinnitus function: Four programmes (i.e. sounds) with SET volume levels. So no way to change the volume of a sound. Costs: €550 for two hearing aids (insurance...

I am in search for bluetooth headphones that do not isolate the noise from outside. So anything that is in-ear will not work. I could get hearing aids with masking function, but these would cost 600 euros. Way too expensive for devices which cannot even change the volume setting! At the moment...

My T is very much related to anxiety. In the past four months I have programmed my brain to react with anxiety. I have had good days, the T just became noticeable in the evening. Now: it has never been worse. It changes every day, even every hour. The pitch, the loudness... It is driving me mad...

Hi there, My name a Rudy, a 26 year old physics student from the Netherlands. A lot of stress due to my study gave me a weird symptom: twitching muscle all over my body. It made me anxious and the anxiety resulted in having more weird symptoms (numb areas on the skin which did not seem to go...

Hi folks, I am new to the forums. Since three weeks I have had intrusive tinnitus, most likely caused/triggered by my anxiety disorder (hypochondria). How do you guys use sound enrichment at night? I use earbuds and the sound of a creek produced by an Android app at low volume. However, I worry...
