    A constant loop - headaches, dizziness, depression and tinnitus

    So I attended the Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil show last night (good show btw) and was so happy I remembered to bring some ear plugs with me. The music/drumming/singing was super loud even with my 33db plugs in. My T was raging last night after I got home and is still going strong...

    Hyperacusis and Headaches

    So I suffer with H and T. T for 7 months and H for the last 4. I've noticed when I get headaches (which is often unfortunately) my noise tolerance to H is worse....anyone else experience this? Also does H tend to get worse with age or does there not appear to be a correlation between the two?

    Trileptal for Tinnitus?

    I had a med checkup today (I'm currently on lexapro for depression) and I mentioned how much my tinnitus bothers me. My pdoc said she has a few patients with T she's rx'd Trileptal to help reduce T and it has worked for them. I've read that this drug can reduce the sodium levels in your body as...

    Football Game

    Football is on the tv...I look around the stadium and the amount of people there screaming and yelling/cheering is unreal...none of these thousands of people must have T. I can't imagine attending something so loud ever again :(

    Does Tinnitus Get Louder Throughout the Day?

    Does anyone else have mild tinnitus in the morning that gets progressively worse and much louder as the late afternoon/evening hours come around? I'm not sure if it's because I try to stay busy during the day and when I get a chance to relax at night it's very loud since I'm focusing on it or is...

    VNG (Videonystagmography) Test Anyone? Did It Affect Your Tinnitus?

    Has anyone had a VNG (videonystagmography) due to dizziness and their tinnitus? If so, did it affect your tinnitus in any way? I know there’s a part of the test where they put cold and warm air into the ear canals, which concerns me because of my tinnitus. I’d like to find out if my dizziness is...

    Meditation Failure

    So I attended a meditation class tonight and it was pure torture to sit in a quiet room for an hour and focus on your breathing while trying to bring yourself to a calmer state. All I could do was listen to my T blare and wonder how in the world am I going to cope with this the rest of my life...

    Tinnitus Originating From Back of Head?

    Does anyone's T seem to come from the back of their head (I know this sounds ridiculous). I've always had a high tone as well as a hissing sound in both ears but it just seems to me the sound originates from the back of my head. It just makes me believe even more this has something to do with my...

    Tinnitus Spiked Due to Inadvertently Blasting Music for a Short While?

    So I was in my car and accidentally turned the volume up on a cd that I thought was muted...it started up blasting since it was only advancing to the next track. Well now my T has spiked in both my ears and it's been hours now. Just when I feel things can't get any worse too. Does this noise...

    Success With Coping via an Antidepressant?

    Have any of you tried antidepressants for your T and did it help you I cope in time as well as elevate the depression and anxiety brought on due to the T? I'm desperate here as I feel I'm 7 weeks into treatment and it's not helping me much. Thanks in advance for any comments.

    Hard Time Coping Today

    I feel I'm at the end of my rope with the tinnitus in both ears. Some days are easier to cope with then others. I take lexapro for the depression and anxiety - I had a stressful few months and I needed medicine to help get me back to sanity again. I know the lexapro has made the T a bit louder...
