I know this is a long shot, but wanted to see if anyone might be looking for a new place around the Burbank area. I've been looking to find something for myself but LA's expensive! And if getting a housemate I thought it might be nice to find someone likeminded that also wants a quiet living...

It's been 5 years since I first got tinnitus, and these past 5 years I've been able to learn to live with it. My tinnitus is unfortunately highly reactive and I have had multiple permanent spikes through out the years, so I try my best to protect myself. My partner has wanted a dog pretty much...

Hi everyone - I haven't posted in these forums in ages, though I would occasionally pop by to read threads. I wanted to give a 6 month update - I read here that this is when most will consider their tinnitus to be chronic. While I never considered myself fully habituated and often noticed my...

So I'm just a little over 2 months in from onset. I've had so many spikes since it's started, and they don't seem to settle. Just as I start to habituate and begin to feel like a normal human again a new setback occurs - how do I deal with this? 2 new tones just appeared after spending a day...

Hey guys, I'm approaching the 6 week mark of my Tinnitus. I've more or less been able to stay positive and be functional, even being able to sleep without xanax some nights - and able to find my joy in life again. And I still have hopes that it might eventually fade away.. But it just doesn't...

Hey guys, Had a lot of fun at a friend's house for new years. It was a really small gathering and so I felt safe without ear plugs. A friend then used a blender with ice nearby, I'm not sure how loud it was but definitely loud enough to make the whole room unable to hear each other. After about...

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting these custom earplugs: http://acscustomusa.com/product/custom-hearing-protection-pro27-music/ I'm wondering if 23 db reduction is overkill for things like being in loud traffic, going to restaurants and cafes etc. Does anyone have any experience with these...

Hi guys, just another vent session. Just wondering what techniques, and strategies you guys like to employ to keep positivity up? My T is still at it's early stages, so my main coping strategy has been to tell myself that it will get better, that things will improve. But it's only been...

Had an Uber ride home, the driver was playing club music but I had my ear plugs in so I thought it was fine, it didn't sound too loud (and I also asked him to turn it down after a while) I got home and having a spike with new tones.. All I want to do is let my ears recover and heal but why am I...

It's been getting harder to sleep. I'm not sure if it's the side effect of the Prednisone but I've been more depressed and anxious, and finding it hard to get a good night's rest. A lot of my positivity and hope is slowly fading, and the lack of sleep doesn't help at all! I was wondering if...

Hey guys, just need to vent at this moment. I was starting to feel better about my tinnitus. Thursday morning it felt like it had settled to a 3/10, and I was feeling positive. Later that evening I went to an art fair, thinking it'll be a nice relaxed event (which it was at first). As more...

Hey all, I've just been prescribed prednisone, for the first few days I am to take 4 tablets a day, (each tablet is 10mg) and then taper down. Should I take those 4 tablets all at once or spread them throughout the day? (forgot to ask my doc!) I've heard prednisone can have strong side...

Hi everyone, I'm currently struggling with feelings of regret. When my Tinnitus first started it was at a pretty mild level, I wouldn't really hear it when I'm out and about - only when there was a lot of silence. At this point I was already upset and anxious about the ringing, though I was...

I'm seeing an ENT today, 3 weeks after onset. (Cause is ear infection, and possible trauma whilst infected). I'm planning to mention prednisone, is it something I should ask for? From some of the things I've read here it only works if applied soon after onset, none of the physicians I went to...

Hi guys, could really use some support and thoughts. Recap: just over 2 weeks ago I started hearing low tones in right ear, then a day later high pitch in left. I went to urgent care and was diagnosed with middle ear infection in right ear, but the ringing is in both. 5 days ago I went to a...

Hi guys, I just wanted to share my story and get people's thoughts :) A week ago on Wednesday my right ear started ringing, it was quite mild and low pitch and I was able to mask it during sleep. The next day my left ear started ringing too which was high pitch, unable to mask. 4 days later I...
