Hello dear tinnitus sufferers. My tinnitus started October 2014. It was a strange phenomenon that resulted in a lot of crazy things. First, it kept switching from one ear to the next. Second, it changed sounds/pitch/tone/frequency/volume ALL of the time - it made is VERY difficult to live...

Hello dear friends, I wanted to post something that I feel is very important to the individuals path of "habituation". I believe our experiences with tinnitus are unique. Everyone experiences more or less similar symptoms; however, the onset, duration, volume, and sound varies. I am a...

Hello everyone. I am back! It has been months. I have purposely left this forum to work on my own "habituation". For the last 5 1/2 months I have succeeded in managing the sounds in my left ear. I was not taking meds, working on self-care and managing to find effective sleep. 2 weeks ago...

Dr. Nagler, I have been to 3 ENT's who have all told me to "learn to live with it". I live in Lake Tahoe. Do you have any recommendations for ENTs in the area that specialize in tinnitus? Kindly, Jennifer McCombs

Does anyone else experience this? My ringing has been constant in the left ear for 2.5 months. It is not a high pitched ringing but a whistling, chirping, squealing, hissing. It has changed sound pretty much every week and there are days (like yesterday) where it was really low and quiet and...

I have noticed that when I don't get enough sleep...the ringing appears to change in volume. Either that or I have a decreased tolerance. I started therapy to help with my worrying state of mind. I have been to 2 ENTs, with one saying "learn to live with it" and the other saying "I believe it...

I just wanted to write something a bit different. These last few weeks have been incredibly trying for me. My ringing/hissing/chirping continues to fluctuate and increase/decrease in volume. I find that I am cautious of external sounds (I am not sure if my ringing is noise induced or the...

What are the thoughts on taking anxiety meds to help with stress? Does anyone do this? I have never taken any medication (this is the first REAL health scare of my life) and know that ppl can get addicted to anxiety meds. I wanted to see what others thought before I sought out this route. What...

Does anyone experience this? I was not exposed to any loud noises prior to my ear ringing. No meds. I was sneezing a few days before and had some head congestion. Also, if this was an viral infection...does anyone know how long it typically can last after the virus leaves?

Does anyone find that this helps? I take 1 every 5-6 hours and find that it reduces it dramatically. The ENT does not seem to think this should help...but it does. Thoughts?

I have question. My ringing has been getting quieter these past few days and now sounds almost like a hissing. It is primarily in my left hear; however, I sleep on my right side and notice that the ringing gets substantially louder as I sleep on my right. I will try to flip over and notice that...

I have noticed that my ringing is changing volume. Yesterday, for example, it was almost non-existent and then last night when I was trying to fall asleep it became really loud in both ears. I started to panic and it make the noise louder. I then started to breath calmly and (attempted) to...

Hello everyone, I am new to this type of thing...but I guess I am hoping to gain support and encouragement. 2 weeks ago I started to sneeze and from that resulted a bit of head congestion without fluid. During that time we went camping and my boyfriend and I drove down to a lower altitude...
