I would not say I have tinnitus today. But I had tinnitus a few days ago. A tremendously annoying tinnitus. A new sound I have never heard before. Not sure how to explain that sound. Rather low-frequency with a regularity of about one or two minute interval when I heard something like...

One gets tinnitus. May want to get rid of it. Eventually one may contact health care. But there what one learns it is completely harmless and nothing to bother about. If the message is not clear, one may be sent to psychiatrists explaining the same thing. Here on Tinnitus Talk, people may think...

Nobody understands the importance of silence, regardless if you have tinnitus or not. Today I walked into an ordinary restaurant (not a pub) that played music. - Can you turn down the volume? - No, we cannot do that. Get out of here! I got a new job in an office that had a ventilation in the...

First of all I shall stress very importantly that I do NOT have hyperacusis. I like and enjoy noise and have no difficulties whatsoever with exposing myself to noise in the following sense. I enjoy loud noise, if I forget about worrying about the effects it will have on me later as I get into a...

I bought Bose QC35ii and now a female voice very stubbornly insists that I shall download an App. I don t own any smartphone myself (I am not a very social person). So I am waiting for somebody who can download this App on HER smartphone for me. However, my worry is if that somebody downloads...

We all know that we are happier when we sit in a nice cottage without electricity far from the city, traffic, cars and noise and just hear nothing except the natural sounds of the nature, which in general are very low, compared to the on-going white noise we hear near around cities and several...

Having lived a quiet eremite life for a bit over a year, I now have almost no tinnitus. Hence I proved the hypothesis that tinnitus is permanent after three months is completely wrong. What happens now is that I have gone back to washing the dishes without using hearing protectors and this does...

I got rumbling very low frequency and rather quiet tinnitus sound that began last month. I hear it only when I lie down on my bed at night and everything is quiet. It wakes me up frequently and is there as I wake up in the morning. But it use to disappear after breakfast more or less. Or I don't...

If there is the sound of a ventilation in the office where I am working, then I notice it immediately the first day on my new job. If I sit in that office for ten hours, I still notice it. If I work in that office for ten years, I still notice it and get constantly disturbed by the fan noise in...

10 000 years ago there were two 15 year old boys, named Ar and Arh, running and playing on the savanna. There were also two tigers, named Br and Brh on the savannah approaching the boys. Both Ar and Arh could hear tiger Br roaring. As a result, both boys got increased stress hormon levels. But...

Keeping cats, after noise trauma, in a high-frequencyenriched environment prevented tonotopic map reorganization and reduced the expected hearing loss due to the noise as contrasted with cats with the same exposure but kept in quiet. That is to say, high-frequency stimulation maintained normal...

Anyone with tinnitus who has any experience of these noise cancelling headphones on intercontinental flights? Are they safe to use? Without listening to anything, just blocking out the noise from the engines? My worry is that since they do double the noise to cancel it by destructive...

Tinnitus is caused by pressure on the inner ear, either it can be by sound waves, someone hit you, the middle ear bones grew to big for some reason, or by liquid building up in the middle ear causing a pressure on the inner ear, caused by an infection. It sounds like different reasons, but they...

After a couple of hours of walking, I had got quite deep inside the mountain. I could no longer hear any sound from the civilisation. No sound from the surrounding roads, only the sound from my feet as I was walking, and from the grasshoppers jumping from one fallen leaf to another to avoid my...

I am curious if anyone with sound induced tinnitus has been in silence (as that of a typical bedroom, with no sounds from traffic outside or anything that can mask the tinnitus sound at all)? For how long and what happened?

Hearing loss that does not cause tinnitus is irreversible. Hearing loss that does cause tinnitus is reversible. Silent environment (below 10 dB for 48 hours a day, everyday) is the key and then tinnitus is the healing process of the lost hearing. Without silence, tinnitus will remain an...

I have had a major surgery and have gone to ENT specialists all my life for ear wax removal and check up, at least once a year. Recently I got tinnitus. I have discussed with ENT specialists three times in my life regarding tinnitus. First time: Me: I said I had a rather bad tinnitus some...

Suppose you break your leg, you go to the hospital and the doctor says to you: so you feel a bit pain in your leg now? But I assure you that if you try to not think on this pain, but instead focus on the positive things in your life, then you will after a while no longer notice the pain in your...

What I am telling below could at best concerns sound induced tinnitus only. Based on my many experiences with tinnitus, I would like to tell about my view on tinnitus. Ten years ago I set up a very simple theory for tinnitus, which I think could be easily falsified by performing an experiment...

Some month ago I got a tinnitus sound at low-frequency, tttttttttttttrrrrrrrrrrr every night just as I was going to fall asleep. In the day nothing. After some time I stayed in silence in my apartment for weeks in a row and this sound disappeared. Then I got other sounds, medium high in...
