    Did Something Stupid: New Sound, Beyond Upset

    Just woke up today to a new loud morse code. I made the mistake to take a dog over for the weekend. It was supposed to be fun, as I love dogs, but turned into a noise nightmare. The dog unexpectedly reacted to every sound coming from neighbours/outside and would get these barking fits out of...

    Dental Work Coming Up... (Last Time Was Disastrous!)

    What happened before (thread) So, I've been hoping it would be a long time before I'd need any dental work. This is because last time (6-7 months ago) it was devastating. They needed to remove this big faulty filling between my upper teeth and replace it. It took over an hour and there was tons...

    H2 Antihistamines (Famotidine/Ranitidine) — Safe?

    Hey, About 4 days ago I got a new sound: a brain tinnitus with echoing metallic sound all over my head. I made a thread about it, but only now realized that 10 days ago I switched my PPI med to famotidine (Pepcid). I also increased the dose (10 -> 20 mg) at about same time than my brain...

    Was Doing Fine... Now Brain Tinnitus?! I'm Scared.

    Hi So... I've been on the path of habituation for a while. And it's been going to the right direction, overall. After a year from my trigger, acoustic trauma, I was finally starting to dream that I'd be able to travel and live relatively normal life. I'd still have ringing in my both ears, but...

    Headphones Accident! What to Do?

    I have not written here such a post for some time. Been doing a bit better in general, even if there has been some ups and downs. About 12 hours ago I think I made a big mistake. Firstly: I never use my Bose QC35 to anything other than noise-cancelling. However, in my studies today we were to...

    Sudden Loud Morse Code, Help!

    Something happened totally out of the blue. I don't understand what is going on and I'm freaking out! Maybe someone can help. This evening I suddenly started hearing a new loud high pitch tone: a messed up and broken morse code. I thought it came from my computer and was shocked to find out...

    Hello all, The details of my situation can be found in Dental Work Ruined My Progress thread, but I made this separate thread to discuss Prednisone and its "late use".

    Dental Work Ruined My Progress

    Background: I got a permanent increase in my former mild tinnitus back in last September from an acoustic trauma. Multiple sounds; many ultra high frequency tones in my right ear and reactive loud & dull beep in my left ear. I cannot describe how hard it has been trying to cope, especially as my...

    Audiology — What NOT to Do?

    Hello everyone, Been taking a bit of a break from the forum and trying to "distance" myself from thinking T all the time - sometimes with success, more often not... Anyway, next week I have an appointment with an audiologist and I am a bit nervous since I remember reading here that A) hearing...

    What If MRI Makes My Tinnitus Worse...

    Hello all, I got a letter telling me that a MRI scan has been booked for me and I am very scared of what it might do to my reactive tinnitus. My T is not in a good stable place at all and I keep getting spikes from sounds that aren't that loud for healthy people. My last bad phase came in late...
