I have really loud tinnitus. I haven't coped with it without masking yet. One of my hearing aids died on me today and I have to ship it off to get it fixed. I honestly can barely function without it... Pathetic I know. To make matters worse, I have a new job where I absolutely can't call in...

I've had pretty awful tinnitus for about 7 months now, and a lot of that time period was over the summer // the last semester of college. Predictably so, the tinnitus affected my concentration in class and lowered my grades. I had a 4.0 GPA before tinnitus and after I was getting quite a lot of...

Hi everyone, I got to the point in my life where I had to take something to try to help with coping. Well, I took mirtazapine first and it helped with the ringing a good bit. Unfortunately the side effects of sleeping way too much dissuaded me from continued use. As I have heard good things...

I'm sitting here laughing at myself/my situation like a maniac. Every time I try to do something to help myself, I make my situation permanently worse. 5 months ago I took Ibuprofen for wrist pain/inflammation, and that caused my tinnitus. Since then, I've been miserable with severe tinnitus...

I just now came to this realization and have set up for myself to get tested next week. I spent a few days on vacation where I went on walks in flea season, did not notice any ticks on me or any rashes at the time, but symptoms began after that trip. If it is discovered I do indeed have lyme...

I have very loud tinnitus, so am I less likely to experience remission than someone who only hears it in a quiet room? Or is it all subjective? Also mine isn't caused by noise trauma but by ototoxicity.

I have really loud tinnitus, but the past couple days I did the valsalva maneuver a few times. It seems it's louder now in my right ear, I'm not sure if it is just a spike, my stress/freaking out, or if it is legitimately louder because of valsalva. Either way, I'm not doing it again. I'm going...

It all started at the end of May when I took too much Ibuprofen via the recommendation of a friend of mine who's a med student. I was a complete idiot and didn't look into side fx. It'll go away, they said. It's rare that Ibuprofen can cause permanent tinnitus, they said. Well, here I am...

Been doing some research lately and I'm somewhat convinced that my tinnitus is caused by erroneous signal firing of neurons, I also read that NMDA receptor antagonists generally work with cochlear tinnitus where the tinnitus is caused by erroneous signal fire as opposed to hair cell death. Is...

I've read about HBOT, and am very interested in attempting it. Is it only effective in relieving symptoms for people who suffer from acoustic trauma, or from ototoxicity as well? I thought it would be effective for both as ototoxicity essentially damages hair cells just like acoustic trauma...

I haven't been diagnosed, but I'm definitely having the high pitched buzzing in my ears. Going to a doctor later this week. Long story short, I made a few recent mistakes with my ears and since then I've had the buzzing. Mistake 1: Took high doses of ibuprofen for pain for 3-4 days Mistake 2...
