Hey guys. I'm writing about my problem here as I start to give up finding solutions. I've been in Thailand and nearby countries since December last year. (Back in Norway 4 days ago). In February I took a short trip to Laos to visit Vang Vieng. After my week in Laos, I traveled back to...

Hi guys. I'm going to Thailand in 3 weeks. This time I will stay there for six weeks. Will be fantastic. :D However. I'm pretty paranoid for my ears. If some shit happens while I'm there, like a really bad spike or something worse, I don't know if I will ever get back on an airplane back home...

Just cant sleep. To much noise. Took 5mg zopiclone. No effect. Just took two more. So three times the usual dose. This chould work. :D

Hi guys. I'm doing pretty good. Almost three years into this madness. After I got tinnitus had to quit my job. My new job is working night shifts in hotel. Here is the catch. I never see people anymore. I go work, and go home sleep. I'm fine with being alone but it would be nice to have the...

So, been in Thailand for two days. This was my second night. Woke up around 05.00 with some weird pain inside my right ear. (My ear with bad tinnitus). I was dizzy and felt a little need to puke. I thought I had an ear infection or something so I went straight to the hospital in Bangkok. Don't...

Just woke up now, 05.00am. My right ear feel pretty sore and itchy. Especially when I equalize by holding my nose. It's the same feeling as when you scratch off the crust on bruises. This sharp pain. When I stop equalize the pain goes away immediately, but it's a little sore all the time. I...

I will not be one of those who come here when something is wrong, then leave when everything is fine again. Making the illusion that no one ever gets better. I will keep posting my positive stories. I got so much help from this forum in the beginning of my T career. I will do that favor back...

I'm sick of holding back! Chronic pain the doctors don't understand what is, and T that is always there. Last one is not that big of a deal anymore! But my eyes hurt, my knee hurts and feel swollen, feels like toothache. Don't know what it is! But I don't care. I need to get out there. Sick of...

Fuck it. Yeah, that's pretty much it. What's your sentence? Keep it simple. :cool:

Do you guys have some advice for traveling with tinnitus? I think I start to get ready to go out in the big world again after I damaged my hearing 1.5 year ago. I have very a simmering tinnitus. When I'm home, doing nothing and there is not much sound around my tinnitus pretty much goes away...

Hello. I think I have found the perfect hobby for people with tinnitus. It works great for me. This summer I have been building a big quadcopter. This quadcopter have FPV (First Person View) function. It means that I have a set of goggles that I can see whats going up in the air. It doesn't need...

Hello guys. I get this weird ear pain some times. The pain is like the pain you get when you hit your bones hard in the table and/or tooth ache. I don't think its hyperacusis. It usually comes after I have been exposed to sound. Like, if I'm in the city. When I come home and it gets silent...

Hi guys. :LOL: (and ladies of course :love:) 5th August I will go to a tinnitus treatment camp here in Norway. This treatment camp will go on for four weeks and my group will have 20 people. The camp consists of one doctor, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists and training experts. They...

Hi guys. I have not been here in some months. The last months my T have really gone back in volume. I can still not be in noisy places for a long time. Like bars, gatherings, cities etc. I can, but I get the punishment after it in form of loud tinnitus and ear pain. Except from that, life is...

Hi guys. T don't bother me so much anymore. Most day is pretty silent now. However, since Christmas, I have had periods with quite bad bodypain. I don't know if this have a connection with my tinnitus or not. Tinnitus was a pretty hard shock for my body and mind. I had some very stressfull...

Hi guys. Today is my 7 month anniversary with my beloved brain music. I got it 27. August 2013. :D I have noticed the last weeks that my tinnitus have started to change. Before it was mostly a white noise-ish sound. Now it's more a clean high-pitch tone. Every time it goes to a clean tone ear...

Nothing is better than some good quality stand-up. My favorite topic in stand-up has to be religion. Just because I think religion is so fucking stupid. I can't believe that people actually believe that shit. My favorite stand-up speakers are Jim Jefferies, George Carlin and Louis C.K. They are...

Hello everyone with noisy ears! :cool: I have not been here in a while. Things are going great and I have felt normal for a good while now. Tinnitus is still there, but I don't mind it anymore. Sometimes loud, other times not so loud. I don't care. However. My body was pretty exhausted until...

Well. I was on a big party tonight with the shopping mall I work in. It was an awesome party. The problem is that my ear just can't handle the fucking noise. And it was not that much noise either. Just a lot of people talking in a big room with some background music. I just go totally inside my...

Hello world! I am on my sixth day on quitting tobacco. I'm just curious if someone here have been quitting, and that it had a positive effect on the tinnitus? - Meeruf

I took Zopiclone this evening and afterwards the ringing just stopped. Anyone who can explain this?

Hey guys. :D I promised myself that I would not leave this forum in only misery. This is me keeping that promise. This text is going to be quite long. Read it when you have a lot of time. I decided to use some colors and smileys to make it more fun to read. Weee!! :LOL: Okay, not that extreme...

Hey guys. I have not been here to much lately. Something is about to change, I really feel it. The last week my T, how to say it, its there, but I really don't care. Tinnitus is like always, but it feels more distant. I don't focus on it so much anymore, and when I focus on it, there really is...

I tried this medicine two nights now. I have been sleeping like a little kid. Anyone have any experience with this medicine? Quetiapin is meant for people with bipolar disorder, but anyone can use it. Bipolar people use it to tame thoughts and don't have to many ups and downs. But it have a...

I have taken this drug on and off post-tinnitus. I don't feel any dependence whatsoever to it, but it have happen that I have waken up the next day and an extra pill is gone. I never put the pills in the same room I sleep. That means I have been sleepwalking to another room and taken it, but...

I have a high-pitch hearing-loss in my right ear. This is the ear I also have tinnitus. Today I found out some interesting stuff. I was taking a shower, and as always my tinnitus spikes a little because of the noise. But, today, I found out that, if I plug only my left ear when showering, the...

Okey. So it was this 90 year old Norwegian determined guy that got busted in not having a lifewest in his boat when he was out fishing. In Norway it is not required to have the lifewest on when you are at the sea. You only need to have it in the boat. (Yeah, stupid law. Its like saying you don't...

I'm a little confused. My audiologist said that there is no such thing as tinnitus volume. She said that all tinnitus is the same, its just that we react different on it, and that decide if we look at it as loud or not loud. I don't know if I can believe that. My T seems to go up and down, in...

I had my first session today with an audiologist and ENT that specializes in TRT. It was just a introduction this time, more are coming later. Since you guys have been to great help the last weeks. I will share what I learn in those sessions. First I had a conversation with an ENT. After that...

I was at a Tae-Kwon-Do event today with my brother. It was his first fight event. I had to be there and cheer him up. He got bronze. Not bad for being his first time in a real fight. However. This event lasted 8 hours. It was not very loud, but some noise it was. 200-300 people with some...

Hey guys. Just a short history first. So all you guys know what this is about. Five weeks ago I had a barotrauma to my inner ear. This caused some serious tinnitus that was extremely loud. The ringing, hyperacusis and shock because of this was to much for me a small period. I do not feel weak...

Just found out something interesting. If I equalize and hold it for some seconds. Like really hard equalizing. My ringing goes almost completely away. Can this mean its something mechanic going on in my ear? Maybe when I equalize and make pressure inside my ear. My cochlea or hearing nerve...

Another win today. I stopped taking anti-anxiety today. It has gone well, and I have not freaked out like I did in the beginning of my tinnitus career. However... My tinnitus feels louder, or is louder today, and I'm a little concerned. Actually, it is louder because I could hear it at the...

http://www.paultobey.com/tinnitus/ Found this page. This guys says its no cure, but how you can learn coping. He claim he have tinnitus himself, and are not bothered by it, at all. He says it has turned in to a gift. What you guys think?

When I woke up today, it was silent. My head music was gone. I hope this is a good sign in recovering. It came back after 4 hours. Then it lasted for 2 hours or something, then it stopped again for 10 minutes. Normally, after I shower, my head music is at it loudest, seems like the shower noise...

I just felt like getting some thoughts down on "paper". When I'm writing, I have to focus, and the ringing kind of goes into the background. I have been having tinnitus for three weeks now. I don't know if it's chronic yet. My doctor says it's not chronic before after one year. My hearing-loss...

Okey, so I had a hearing loss. It's been almost three weeks, and I can't say I'm optimistic. My situation right now is that my tinnitus goes to almost complete stop if I'm in complete silent. Right now I'm just playing a very low masking sound, and I cannot hear my tinnitus. Or at least, just...

Hello. I'm 25 years old and currently having the worst time of my life. Two weeks ago I was swimming with my brother. I decided to dive down at the bottom of the pool. (5m / 15 feet). When I came up again my hearing in the right ear was reduced to almost nothing. I could only hear...
