Hi everyone, has anyone had a dental implant fitted? Did that result in any change in your tinnitus? I’ve got a dentist appointment for tomorrow, for an extraction on a upper first molar. I originally was going to have an endodontist perform a root canal on the tooth, but due to the tooth...

Hi, I’ve been living with noise induced tinnitus for over 7 years now. I would say my tinnitus is somewhat moderate severity (can hear it in most low/moderate noise level environments) during this time I’ve had many ups and downs, I try to protect my hearing against further noise exposure etc...

Hi guys, I have had moderate/severe tinnitus for 2 years from sensorineural hearing loss in industry. I got used to it after a year or so and went back to quieter work. All was going well until a few days ago. I had a bad cough infection for a few weeks, which clogged my sinuses over the last...

Hi guys, I wanted to ask if there are any cyclists on here and if you've noticed any effect on your T? I started cycling (on the road) properly February this year, started out just doing 4 miles but I liked it so much I'm now doing up to 35 miles daily (with the odd rest day here and there)...

Hi guys, Friday night my ears went extremely stuffy/pressurised, which I believe is something to do with a virus I had caught a week previous, T volume went through the roof which scared the crap out of me tbh! Saturday the intense ear pressure and increased T was still there so I went to the...

Hi guys, Last night my ears went severely stuffy/pressurised and my tinnitus went through the roof! I woke up today and it's still the same. Ears blocked, tinnitus a lot louder, I spoke to a doctor over the phone and he said it sounds like glue ear, which makes sense because I had some fluid...

Hi guys, I think I've had a breakthrough to my T worsening 4 days after dental work!...... I thought the dentists no longer use amalagam fillings because of the health risks associated with mercury all over the internet, I presumed the fillings were composite resin fillings. After dboy asked...

Hi guys, I had 2 fillings done last Friday, I didn't wear earplugs because the the vibration noise inside the skull from the occlusion effect was too much. Anyway all was fine afterwards, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday completely fine, it was only on Tuesday, 4 days after the drilling my...

Hi everyone, For the past five days, my left ear has been twitching or having spasms. Sometimes it happens in the ear itself, and other times just above it. Today, it’s been occurring every 10 seconds or so. I’m not sure if it’s related, but for the past few weeks, my right eyelid has also...

Hi guys, My tinnitus has been acting so erratic the past few days! I hear a super high pitched mosquito noise rise above everything for a few seconds, then it disappears.....30 seconds later a high pitched mosquito noise for a few seconds heard over everything.....then it disappears....repeat...

Hi guys, my tinnitus the past 5-6 days has been acting weird, it is usually very stable, but every minute or so a high pitched tone fluctuates up past every noise, even in the shower, only lasting a few seconds but its happening every minute?...highly distracting! Since Monday I've been having...

Hi guys, hope your all OK. I was into weightlifting for quite a few years, really got into it, but I haven't picked up weights since the onset of my tinnitus in 2012. I was worried the straining of the neck muscles/exerting pressure when lifting heavy might make tinnitus worse? I know exercise...

Hi guys, any dog walkers here or anyone that walks along side traffic daily? It really annoying me that my ears are constantly being battered by traffic noise on a daily basis... Last week while out walking a car backfired multiple times right next to me, ears were really sore after. Today a...

Hi guys, my ears have just been blasted by a really loud noise and I'm hoping it doesn't worsen my tinnitus! :( So basically I was walking my dog down a hill on a street and a car with an aftermarket exhaust within 6 feet from me backfires! Sounded like gun shot! Then it happened again, again...

Hi guys, I'm just giving a heads up on some really good ears plugs I've just brought, (I thought I would need them for a dental procedure but they weren't needed because there was no drilling) these are very high protection at SNR 39!, these are packaged as motorbike riders earplugs very...

Hi guys, I had a painless lump on the upper gum, went to the dentist today, had x-rays, I found out it was an infection of the tooth root! She said root canal is tricky and might not work, so I have booked in for a tooth extraction on Friday! But its the top premolar, third tooth from centre so...

Hi guys, my tooth abscess is getting painful, I read on the earth clinic website garlic an effective remedy. Because garlic is so potent I was wondering if it is ototoxic or not?

Hi guys, anyone else avoid antibiotics/medications in general because of tinnitus? I haven't even taken a single painkiller for a headache in the past 19 months! In the past few days I've had a gum abscess, its not painful and I hope it goes away on its own, but I read that its common...

Hi everyone, tomorrow I'm getting moulds done for some custom made earplugs, the musician type plugs with the filters in. They are quite expensive (£140). But I am now having doubts if I should get a pair or not? The reason I wanted some custom made plugs was because they are guaranteed proper...

Hi guys, little bit of a rant coming up! So I'm walking my dog on the street, its the weekend and I must have counted about 20 odd motorbikes go past me. Now you could say motorbikes (the regular type) would not pose a danger to your ears, however, one of them was a super loud custom made...

Perfectly fine with my regular tinnitus, but there is one type that I get in the evening, morning sometimes which baffles me? Its constantly moving tinnitus, rapidly going up and down like a washing machine, sometimes sounds like a light saber being waved around my head, like a humming noise...

Hi guys, like many of you know I was doing a lot better with my tinnitus, I would hear it but it never bothered me, I was habituated to my tinnitus. Yesterday I woke up and immediately noticed my tinnitus, it was the same volume but it was annoying me greatly. I also felt flat, depressed...

I remember in October when my tinnitus increased I couldn't sleep without getting drunk, I couldn't even sit in my bedroom anymore because the sound overwhelmed me. Now I can sit in complete silence, in bed, my tinnitus would be loud, but I'm totally fine with it, it no longer makes me...

Hi everyone, my regular tinnitus doesn't really bother me anymore, but occasionally I get what I would describe as a light saber (star wars) type noises swinging around in my head, last night I was sitting downstairs i heard the noise as well as a thumping noise, scared me quite a bit, went to...

Hi guys, I'm from england where black tea is the main beverage drunk. Anyway I tried drinking water and a few cups of coffee yesterday, I felt horrible, depressed, anxious, tinnitus was bothering me a lot more. Today I went back to drinking black tea (with milk, 1 sugar), instantly I felt more...

Hi everyone, damn, damn damn! I was drying the dishes last night and a metal saucepan lid fell on the floor making a sharp clanging noise, anyway told myself not to worry, tinnitus was the same. By the time I went to bed my tinnitus sounded a lot more intense, I have sort of a whistle type noise...

Hi I just wanted to say there are a lot of vets coming back from Iraq/afghan with tinnitus. There are also a lot of exmil personnel with tinnitus from lifetime using guns etc. Most people would assume all the gunfire etc is the primary cause. However as exmilitary service myself for 10 years...

Hi again, like I say my tinnitus doesn't bother me anymore, now I have conquered the booze addiction I'm feeling a lot better. But the one thing that is bothering me is since this afternoon, both my ears have been stuffy, blocked feeling? I'm not ill, the only loud noise that has happened is a...

Hi guys, I posted near Christmas time that I was doing a lot better/habituating to my recently increased tinnitus, then new years came round and I decided to quit alcohol because I was drinking a lot (8 to 10 pints of beer a day), straight away all the distress come back again, the depression...

Guys I only just got tinnitus and hopefully not saying anything to dumb. But wondered if most of the folks logging on realise the amount of people out there with tinnitus not particularly tormented by it. Despite being a recent sufferer I have been around other people with it most of my life who...

Hi guys, my younger brother just got out of his mate's car outside my house, the bass from the subwoofer was extreme, I could feel the vibration through the house. I told my brother (other brother without tinnitus) he is going to get hearing loss and tinnitus if he keeps riding around in his...

Hi folks I am a 40 year old ex international athlete who got mild tinnitus on and off after firing rifles in military career. I now own a geo drilling company and getting too close to the action the last year I noticed my hearing suddenly dropped a threshold 3 months ago. I took 3 weeks off to...

I know I will habituate to this tinnitus eventually, but I hate the constant worry of loud noises, I am worried when walking my dog that an emergency vehicle is going to blast my ears with a siren. I am fed up thinking I can't go back to my old workplace in a manufacturing plant, I worry that...

This is the problem for me, had mild tinnitus for 14 months, felt bad at the start then forgot about it, recovered, was happy again. Now it has increased 3 months ago where it sounds louder and sharper I can't get over it changing so much, I keep dwelling on the fact that I had mild tinnitus for...

The main problem with tinnitus I believe is not the noise at its current state, it's the mindset I have tinnitus and it's going to increase if I am not careful, you've got to stop going here, stop going there, worry about sirens when walking on the street etc. It's took very loud, ear damaging...

Hello everyone, Do you wear earplugs walking down the street? I have had a noise induced spike for 7 weeks now, since then every time i step outside the house i wear earplugs just in case of any sudden loud sirens, car horns go off etc. I asked this question on another forum and a lady...

Hi guys, I have had a different pitch in tinnitus since getting this spike 7 weeks ago, it went from a soft hissing noise to a gas leak noise with a high frequency type noise on top. These past few days the high frequency noise keeps fluctuating, like up and down. I would make out the regular...

Hello everyone, For everyone here who have habituated to tinnitus, are you happy? I was happy with mild tinnitus, now it is louder I feel miserable again, I don't see how you can be happy with loud tinnitus.

Hello guys, I've got a question regarding temporary threshold shift ?(blocked full ears), First time I got tinnitus from loud noise, I got temporary threshold shift straight away followed by tinnitus for over a year now. 5 weeks ago I got a spike from a loud noise, but unlike the last time...

Hi guys, Not doing great at the minute, slammed a car bonnet/hood and my tinnitus has gone from mild, hear it faintly at night tinnitus, to loud hear it in the day tinnitus. A silent room is now horrible, the ringing just takes over my head. It has now been a month now since the increase and...

Hi guys, I've now had a really bad spike for 2 weeks now after loud noise exposure. My mild tinnitus is now a lot louder with changing tones, I can hear it everywhere. I'm am still hoping it is temporary. Could you guys tell me the longest spike you have had before it returning to baseline...
