    Setback

    Hey forum, I'm currently experiencing a bit of a setback (even though I so victoriously announced my 'leaps and bounds' a few weeks ago). Dealing with it a day at a time and recording the evolution of the tinnitus ever so diligently (some people abhor this type of 'obsessive behaviour', however...

    11 Months Update — Leaps and Bounds

    Dear forum members, I would like to take this opportunity to give a small update about my personal circumstances. Tinnitus entered my life quite drastically in January, during exams no less and seeing as I have another exam period coming up, I thought this would be a good time to write about...

    Today I Taught Tinnitus a Lesson

    Hello kind folks of TT! As I announce in the title, I feel like I was able to teach my tinnitus a lesson today. Those of you who have seen me post a few times in the last few months, probably noticed I was pretty preoccupied with my exams and concentration problems. My whole world was turned...

    Which Approach to Relatively Loud Work Environment

    Greetings everyone, Now that my Exams are coming to an end, I'm about to encounter a different sort of dilemma. I've been raised in a family running a transport service and have worked there part-time for the past 5-6 years. This is the first year I'll be doing it with tinnitus, so I'm a bit...

    Opening My Eustachian Tubes Changes Tinnitus

    What could it mean if I can change the perception of my tinnitus, by opening up my Eustachian Tubes? Usually my tinnitus is sort of like a morse code type of ringing (Ee - e - eee - e -eeee - ee - e), but sometimes it can grow continuous and oscillating. When this happens and I make my ears pop...

    Wanting to Control the Uncontrollable

    Hello fine folks of TT, Allow me to spout some immature nonsense for a bit, please. Here I am sitting, studying and 'preparing' my exams and the times, they are A-Changin'. So is the tinnitus. A new tone sets in, deviating my attention from where it should really be, hoping it'll take its...

    Help! Progressively Getting Worse and I Have No Clue Why

I'm currently having a hard time coping with my tinnitus, since it seems to be getting progressively worse, even though I'm trying to protect my ears the best I can.

    Looking for Exam and Concentration Tips

    Greetings to all, I have a specific request for people who work large portions of their day in relatively quiet environments that require them to concentrate intensely. The thing is, I've got exams coming up in a few weeks and I have, sadly enough, been trying to cope with my tinnitus by...

    A Gong Is Resonating Inside My Head After Visiting Loud Restaurant

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for some guidance as to how to lead my life with this relatively new T (and possibly H). First of all, I hope I'm posting this in the right subforum as I'm not 100% sure this can be classified as a case of hyperacusis. I've had T for two months, but after the initial...

    High Frequency Hissing and Hyperacusis

    Hi, I want to run a question by you all. I've had tinnitus for about 2 months now. It's not the best it has been right now. I've been experiencing this high pitched hissing or sizzling in my left ear that I cannot quite wrap my mind around... It started a month ago after having the flu and...

    Looking for Input (& My Story)

    Hey everyone, First of all I'd like to thank all of you for the continued support you give those afflicted by T, even those who are silent onlookers at first (like I was for the first few weeks). It helped me frame my problem and read up on similar stories. My T began during exams (I'm...
