Hello guys! So a couple of days ago I was sitting in my room with an open window when I suddenly heard this weird sound coming from the outside. The sound was very similar to a child's cry, you know the typical "uääää, uäää", but it sounded as if it came from some kind of a bird. And it had a...

Ah it just feels as if I will always encounter these strange, irritating stuff that simply won't be temporary. It began in the New Year (1 January) where I felt that I needed to pee often and that my bladder wouldn't empty itself. I go to the bathroom, pee, little comes out, when I exit the...

In early March I got this thing where it felt as if I had hair stuck in my mouth. The feeling could sit on top of my tongue, under my tongue, inside of my cheek etc. The feeling "moved" with each day. After 5 days the feeling went away. 2 months later, mid May, it returned once again and this...

In early August I got this new, machine/motor like sound on top of my ordinary tinnitus. The sound lasted for a couple of days and then went away for weeks. After a couple of weeks it returned. Like I said, the sound is like a machine or a motor. And what is strange with this new tinnitus is...

So I've had tinnitus for exactly two years. In the large picture, I'm fine, I'm more than fine, and have been for a long time. I can only hear tinnitus when I'm trying to sleep and even then it doesn't bother me. But today... I woke up, went to the balcony had a smoke, went inside. Nothing...

So I don't want to go in detail on my entire situation. But to make it short, I've had tinnitus on and off for 2 years exactly soon. In recent times I've been feeling really well, the t isn't even there, only notice it at night when I'm about to sleep, and even then it doesn't bother me (unless...

So some of you know me and some may not. I havent been on this forum for a couple of months now. I have been feeling good, my tinnitus has either been extremly low or not there at all! However, five days ago I went off the Tramadol and got a cold turkey /withdrawal symptoms. Funnily enough, my...

Now when things are very well with me, I feel I'm obligated to shred some positivity here to encourage and give hope to fellow sufferers. My tinnitus has literally been 97% gone since early February. And I have slept without any masking sound whatsoever since then. In these 4 months, in some...

Now I don't believe in fairy tales, and this is a very wishful thinking from my side, but what the heck. Recently I got a setback. Before my setback I was feeling really good, only time my tinnitus would bother me were at some mornings, other than that I felt that I lived a tinnitus free life...

My tinnitus seems to get louder everytime I lay down, and last night I think I had one of the worst tinnitus by far, a high pitched, penetrating hiss/peep that wouldn't get masked by anything. My tinnitus has never spiked due to external sounds or alcohol or anything like that, but the few times...

I got my tinnitus last year at January 15th. I've had it on and off, same with the "reactive tinnitus". I habituated to both and if you asked me two days ago I would say I'm 90% habituated and living exactly the way I did before I got tinnitus. That is until yesterday evening when I sat up late...

So I've had my tinnitus on and off for exactly a year now. Some periods were really tough on me but for the majority of the time I've felt great. The last time my tinnitus got me depressed/annoyed was in September... so things are getting better for me. However, there is 1 thing that keeps...

As I've been saying a couple of hundred times on this forum, my reactive tinnitus comes and goes. Recently it was away for like 4 weeks then it came back. But since it came back it has been pretty hard to mask it since the masking sound triggers it. So does anyone know anything specific that...

Many people claim that there is no such thing as reactive tinnitus, that the word/term was invented on internet forums. Yet nobody can explain what it actually is. Some say it's a form of hyperacusis, others think it's related to TTS. Julian Cowan Hill emailed me and said it is over activity of...

So tinnitus is bad enough, but I'm dealing with it really good for the most part. What is annoying is that sometimes I can hear a sound that actually has a source. And in my mind I think it's my tinnitus spiking up, which raises my stress levels and anxiety and every sound I hear i interpret it...

So to cut it short; I've had tinnitus (reactive tinnitus) on and off since January. My reactive tinnitus has always been a distant whissle type of sound. This Saturday when I was on my balcony smoking I noticed a "duuuuuu" darker signal type of sound. At first I thought it was coming from...

So as the months passes away I'm starting to get more grip of my situation. I've learnt that my "ordinary" tinnitus (which can only be heard in absolute quiet) don't bother me so much and I easily mask it away at nights. The thing that bothers me is when my reactive tinnitus kicks in, which...

Is it only me who think that tinnitus that is caused by everything except loud noise exposure should/could be cured? Depression/stress/anxiety Problems with neck/jaw Medication Tensions Fluid behind ears Personally for me, the causes above, I can't see them cause permanent tinnitus except of...

I was reading some articles in swedish and many claim that depression and tinnitus goes hand in hand to a higher degree than we would think. Many people have perfect hearing and still have tinnitus, could this be because of depression and anxiety? Tests had shown that over 60% of tinnitus...

So my situation has been good for the last month, very good even. But yesterday night when I was going to sleep, I turned off my masker for some reason and was left in silence....and I noticed my tinnitus was SCREAMING! Out of the blue. I can't find any reason for this? Only reasons I can think...

So I've had tinnitus on and off. What I'm curious about, and something that is driving me insane is this: Today I have in 2-3 occasions locked myself into my room and turned everything off and I try to listen for my tinnitus. There is nothing there. Absolute nada. When I go out on my balcony or...

To all you that write or read a lot, how do you manage this with tinnitus? Do you always mask the writing process with music, or are you used to siting in the quiet with your tinnitus and just write? Maybe you've habituated? And reading seems a little tougher because you want quiet when...

Masking has been my savior the last three weeks. I haven't been masking my tinnitus for the entirely three weeks, sometimes I manage to sleep without it. But sometimes I feel like I need it. The problem is however, at first white noise worked brilliantly for me. Then for some strange reason my...

When and if we ever find a 100% cure for tinnitus, what type of cure do you think it'll be? A surgery in the ear/brain, a pill, some form of hearing aid that is 100% effective/better? Renewal of hair in ear?

I know we can't answer questions for sure, we can only guess (some things we can with knowledge). Here is my problem. I got tinnitus in January earlier this year. It lasted for two weeks then it went off. So entire February was problem free, my life went back to normal, same in the beginning of...

So on January 14th this year I experienced tinnitus, and I wrote a thread about it under "introduce yourself". My T lasted for almost exactly 2 weeks, the night of January 28 I noticed I didn't have it any longer and my life went back to normal. So since then I've been more or less good...

It feels like these ENT's do absolutly nothing unless it's something REALLY obvious like wax in your ears. They are well paid I'm sure but you never get any answers or help. OK I know tinnitus is complicated and there is not much to do unless a cause has been found like infection etc. But...

I guess you've heard it all before, but here is my story. I noticed my tinnitus in the early morning of january 15 last week exactly. I had/have a cold for some days, and for some reasons I went out with a friend and took a couple of beers. I got headache and as stupid as I was, I also took 2...
