I don't know if there's any evidence of T being exaserbated by stress, but I can personally attest to this being the case for myself. I hadn't been cognizant of my T at all today until I received some bad news. Then my ears began buzzing like crazy.

Over the weekend I attended a dinner in a ballroom with about 200 other adults. There was no music playing, but the talking was quite loud. I didn't have my ear plugs in and I stayed in the room for about an hour and a half. After I left the room I noticed my ears hissed more than usual. I...

The last time I was active on this forum was January 11. I still have T. I can best describe it as an afterthought. I hardly ever think of it. I still use ambient nature sounds on the lowest possible volume to fall asleep. I'm cognizant of my T at this very moment because I'm writing about it...

Instead the sound radiates from my head as a whole. Does anyone else have this? Even in silence with my ears pressed against a pillow, the sounds is no longer beling emitted from the ears.

I'm throughly exhausted. I hardly slept for the past couple nights. My young daughter has been sick and my cat broke his leg so I've been tending to them. A couple hours ago I noticed a clicking (morse code type sound) in my previously quiet ear (right ear). I had these sounds in my left ear...

After watching a couple Christmas movies where bells rang, I hear the bells ringing more clearly in my ears tonight! It could be worse. Merry Christmas everyone!

Since there's a thread about who uses maskers here, it got me thinking... I never use anything to mask during waking hours and I can hear my T all the time, except when showering or vacuuming. I'm hopeful this will aid in a quicker habituation in case the T doesn't resolve itself. Who else...

Yesterday my T was so quiet I forgot about it most of the day. Today it's definitely more noticeable today. I'm not fond of calling a rise in volume of T a "spike", I'd rather just say that it fluctuates. I have no idea why it fluctuates, and I'm not going to try to find a possible reason. It...

Has anyone else had a dream (or nightmare) about T? A few days ago I had the strangest dream, or at least I think it was a dream. It was that whatever was/is blocking my Eustachian tube was about to come loose. It was dramatic, like ice falling off a glacier. My T got crazy loud and high...

I knew I had at least slight sinus issues as of recent. The meds the doctor prescribed (Nasonex and an antibiotic) have done nothing for my sinus issues or T. The pharmacist told me the best thing to clear out the sinus/eustachian tubes is Sudafed. I've been taking it continuously for two...

I've experimented with his several times now an it seems to be beneficial in helping me to habituate. Last night I went to a movie. I put my foam earplugs in right away... before the movie trailers began. I heard my ears whistling loudly at me throughout the trailers. Then as the movie began...

I recently read a link that was posted here (unfortunately I can't remember which one) that said noise induced hearing loss affects hearing range associated with speech. Can anyone confirm this? It said that if you have noise induced hearing loss, speech would be muffled and you'd feel like...

I hope this can offer others hope that things will improve over time. The first day I really noticed T was November 3rd, 2013, one week after attending a concert wearing over-the-counter earplugs. I decided to have my ears checked out by my regular physician on November 18th. I was told I was...

Yesterday and last night were hell. T was loud, humming, and ringing all day and night. Today was surprisingly good. I didn't hear much go the high pitched ring. Only a low hum much of the day. And I times it was not noticeable. I'm not sure why this is, but I tend to hear more of the hum...

T's been ongoing since late October. I finally decided to see a general practitioner this past Monday. I'm on antibiotics for what the doctor described as being "on the verge" of a sinus infection with fluid in both ears. I don't think I'm noticing any benefit from the antibiotics. This...

I was out to dinner in an amusement park and wore my ear plugs during dinner. I was surprised how LOUD chewing is. I can appreciate the low volume of T in comparison. I slept the best I've slept in the past 3 weeks last night even with the volume on my nature sounds lower. My left ear rings...

August of 1998 I spent several hours in a too-loud club. This was the beginning of my T. I couldn't sleep and it was quite a disruption to my life. I had previously worked for an audiologist so I had some idea of what T was. I called my audiologist friend and she recommend I get checked out...
