Hi guys. Hope you're well. Something that really baffles me about tinnitus is how it fluctuates quite a lot throughout the day, and across different days. I have times during the day where I can barely even hear it and other times when I can hear it about most things in the house and over the...

Hi guys. Had two quick questions for you all... 1) Is it common/normal for tinnitus to change volume throughout the day? 2) Does this mean that habituation will be harder? Mine is often low and then for no apparent reason gets louder at a random point of the day then low again, then louder a...

Hi, Hope you're well guys. I have only had tinnitus for just over two months due to a middle ear operation. My tinnitus is the hissing kind, I would say it's mild but it varies in volume slightly throughout the day. However, I noticed that if I'm really focusing on something, there can be a...

Hi guys. After being on this forum for a while and reading into all of this. To me, there seems to be no relationship between amount of hearing loss and tinnitus loudness and there is no trend that I have seen or come across. - There are plenty of people with super loud tinnitus and mild...

Hi guys. I have a question for you all. How can I break the habit of listening to my tinnitus? I have OCD and anxiety which doesn't help things. My tinnitus isn't that loud, but it is still very distressing as I can't stop listening to it or trying to search it out. What have you guys done...

Hi, guys. Hope you're well. I was just curious. When they do finally hit on a cure that markedly reduces/eliminates tinnitus in the majority of people. Do you think it will be something that works on the brain (something like brain stimulation, or some potent effective drug with minimal...

Hi. Hope you're all well. I had a quick question. How relevant do you guys think studies on rats are regarding hearing loss and tinnitus? There have been some promising studies that show tinnitus elimination in rats via various mechanism that haven't been as reliably replicated in humans and...

Hi. Hope you're well. The more I read the more I seem to come to the conclusion that GABA is the answer to reliably lowering tinnitus for a lot of people. Things that modulate/increase GABA in the brain seem to lower tinnitus for the vast majority of people; Examples Benzos like Xanax -...

Hi guys. Hope you're well. I've got a question that I really hope someone can answer or provide a theory on. I have a hissing type tinnitus, but it comes and goes during the day. So for a few hours during the day its so low I can barely hear it and then it ramps up and is pretty loud, then...

Hi guys. I'm really really hoping someone could provided some clarity on this. I've had tinnitus in my right ear for about two months following a middle ear operation where two middle ear bones were removed. When I am in a quiet room my tinnitus is really low however if I go for a walk or...

Hi guys. Hope you're well. I had mild hissing tinnitus before my surgery which remained after having two of my three middle ear hearing bones removed as part of Cholesteatoma surgery. The stapes bone in still in place though. So I have conductive hearing loss and not sensorineural hearing...

Hi. This is something that I've been curious about. Everywhere I read, it says tinnitus affects tens of millions of people just in the US. So if it is such a prevalent thing affecting so many how come this forum, the most prominent tinnitus forum only has 10,000 ish members? Is it because...

Hi guys. I have a form low frequency tinnitus (sounds like static noise) and have had it for about 6 weeks. I suspect it is due to conductive hearing loss as I've had two of my ear hearing bones removed due to surgery. Now, the thing with my tinnitus is that it is very quiet when I am in quiet...

Hi guys. I'm new here. I'm a 26 year old guy. I recently started hearing a faint hissing in my right ear about a month ago (gets louder with sound and barely audible in quiet rooms). I've had a history of issues with that ear for the last 5 years (constant ear infections and recent surgery for...
