Hi everyone! My tinnitus has been fairly stable for some time now, not bothering me to much. Since a couple of days I've had a bit of flare ups with pulsatile tinnitus, and also a bit of pain. It comes and goes, but it can really hurt if I swallow, hiccup, yawn or something else along those...

Hello again! Just saw a thread in a Swedish tinnitus group, where a woman talked about her tinnitus and how it was possibly related to her hormone treatment. As someone who has PCOS I found this quite interesting (and also a bit disheartening to be honest, since I'm working up the courage to...

Hi everyone! Last week I got my night guard, which I got due to a whole bunch of jaw related problems. About two days after I started using it, I noticed a morse code sound when going to bed. It's been a week, and the sound is still there. So my question is; could my night guard be the...

Hi! My tinnitus has since day one switched between ears. Just yesterday, my right ear was the bad one. Today, it's the left. Sometimes it stays worse in one ear for a while, sometimes it only lasts a couple of days. Anyone else who's experiencing this, and might now what the cause is?

Hi guys! Just having the need to vent a little bit, because I'm getting really nervous. In October I've got some dental work coming up, don't know exactly what it's going to be but my mouth is a mess, so I'm guessing it's not gonna be easy. The doctor that I went to see about my tinnitus...

So I finally have an appointment at the ENT tomorrow, and now I'm really nervous. I've been waiting for months, but now when it's time I really don't want to go. Like what if they can't find anything, what if they do, what if they accidentally make it worse while doing any of the tests? I...

Hi guys! Began my new job yesterday. Turns out it's way louder than what I expected, and before I do anything else I want to try a really good pair of earmuffs to see if I can endure the noise (I'm a bit sceptical, but quitting would feel as if I'm "betraying" the company. And oh my, I really...

Hello again. I've been doing really well with my tinnitus, barely noticing it for the last weeks or so. Watched Eurovision with a couple of friends yesterday, felt as if it was a bit tiring for the ears, but it wasn't to bad. However just now, a little while ago, a new tone set it, together...

Hi everyone! For the last couple of weeks or so, my tinnitus has faded more into the background. I do believe that it actually lowered in volume, and that it wasn't just me getting used to it (even though I probably did as well). When I went to the doctors they gave me a cortisone spray to...

I've dealt with depression before. I thought that last year was an all time low, where I just couldn't see a point to anything anymore. Went outside maybe once a week. Didn't clean my apartment for three months. Even though I didn't really consider suicide, I thought about dying everyday. I...

Hi everyone! I'm having a flight (not a long one, only one hour) in a couple of weeks, to go home over Easter. I've bought a pair of Peltor X4A, but I'm a bit worried because of the occlusion effect. I'm thinking that since I experience it from my own steps, it's probably worse on a plane...

Hi guys! It seems as if my tinnitus has been getting better over the last week or so. Two days ago, however, I had a lot of pain in my neck, and my tinnitus spiked even though I had been inside in silence all day long. Yesterday when I woke up, however, I could hardly hear it, no matter how...

How do you get past the fear of tinnitus getting worse? Right now, my tinnitus is manageable, and I can still fall asleep in an quiet bedroom. But this crippling fear of a permanent increase... well, it's hard to deal with. It's this beautiful, sunny winter day, lots of snow, and I want to go...

How much of your life have you guys given up because of your tinnitus? I'm still pretty young, soon to be 25, and have spent my life studying (and still am) and therefore it feels a bit like my life didn't even got to actually start before this happened. I know I sound really ungrateful...

Hi everyone! I have a question about using earplugs. I may or may not have some kind of condition in my ears, causing my tinnitus to be a bit worse right now. I have not had it confirmed yet, and is still waiting to get an appointment at the hospital. However, I read somewhere on this forum (I...

Hi! I’m new to this forum, been reading posts for a while but never actually writing anything myself. But right now, I’m really struggling so here it goes. (Also, english isn’t my first language and I apologize for any mistakes.) I’ve had tinnitus for a while. Maybe a year, maybe two, but it’s...
