Hello, unfortunately I'm back after a long time away. I initially got tinnitus more than 1 year ago due to acoustic trauma after a loud night out. It's had a lot of ups and downs since then and there was a point where I'd actually habituated. However I am refraining from literally everything...

Hi. I really messed up. I forgot my ear plugs going to a friend's birthday which got very loud at times. I measured it to be around 85 dB for the most part but occasionally got up to 90-92 dB. I was there for 2 hours and not inside the whole time. I was also not very worried since I have...

Hi, So after 1 year of the same low pitch tinnitus, I recently got a very high pitch that is constant but seems to fluctuate (kind of like a electronic sound that is always there but is static). It's very hard to ignore and although my old pitch seems to be gone -- or at least I can't hear it...

Hi, So even though the last week had its ups and downs with a few spikes, I spent a couple of nights in the past month in almost quietness. My tinnitus went from being unbearable at times to moderate to almost inaudible within the last year. It drained me a lot in every way and I'm still trying...

Hi, Last night I received a kiss on the ear (by accident) and although it was quite loud I didn't experience immediate changes in tinnitus or any sensation of fullness. However, when I got back to a quieter setting I noticed that a new tone in my tinnitus had gotten louder. It wasn't a...

Hi, So around 36 hours ago I was passing my a narrow street and as I passed him this street musician, who was playing at a rater safe volume decided to come near me and basically scream in my ear (with a microphone) I'm not sure how loud it was but I'm assuming it was above like 130 dB (maybe...

So I'm wondering do you guys think it's possible for me to heal my tinnitus with the right mindset. I'm just having a pretty bad time coping right now (although I should be used it, it's been 6 months). I do have a diagnosis for moderate depression and anxiety. My anxiety is severely worsened...

Hi everybody, I am having a spike at the moment which is my first substantial spike. It is finals week so I feel like it may be due to stress but I was wondering if it could at all be linked to my most recent visit to the audiologist. So I got some tests done that I hadn't before. I didn't...

So a couple of things happened today that may have caused this change in volume but also a lot of change in the pitch: I'm sick. Some sort of throat infection but I guess a lot of fluid build up everywhere. Maybe my Eustachian tubes? My hearing is definitely muffled. I have been taking Mucinex...

Hi, I've recently been exposed to a pretty loud fire alarm (for like 30-45 seconds until I was able to get a hold of my ear muffs) and then exited quickly (within 2-3 minutes). I am afraid this has caused additional ear damage. Background info: I got tinnitus due to acoustic trauma around 4...

So I was wondering if caffeine is really that bad for tinnitus? I quit it for my first 2 months but with school picking up I really find myself craving/needing it. I'd read somewhere that it has the potential to turn acute tinnitus into permanent tinnitus? Is this true? Does anyone have...

Just curious to know how fellow students are doing outside of this forum. I'm back to school now and it's been a lot of work but I'm actually doing better than I thought in terms of coping with tinnitus and being able to study and concentrate with it? Curious to know what everybody else's...

Hey, So I've made so much progress mentally and tinnitus wise in the past couple of months. But recently I feel like there is a change of pitch in my tinnitus. It went from kind of like a neutral windy type humming to a high pitched annoying ringing (it is quieter though). Does anybody know...

Hello everyone, I have been having tinnitus for a month now and even though it started after a loud concert I have no hearing loss at the moment (I went to a specialist for tinnitus -- can share his info if anyone is interested) who also determined that I don't have any invisible hearing loss...

Hello! I have been dealing with tinnitus for a month now and I know that that's a very short time. But I want to share my story to maybe push everybody out there who is just meeting Tinnitus in the right direction. It started after being next to the speaker for about 3 hours in a pretty crowded...

Hi! I have been having tinnitus for a week now and I got it when I was a 12 hour flight away from home. I got some initial treatment here, but I was wondering if it would aggravate it to take a flight back in the second week from the onset of tinnitus. It will be a direct 12 hour flight, but I...

Hello! I am very new to this blog and to tinnitus as well. I have been trying to stay positive and cope as well as I can and it's good to hear stories of how other people have been coping and living their lives. I got tinnitus after an acoustic trauma and apparently I have very sensitive ears...

Hi everybody, I'm a university student in my third year out of five. I am very new to this site and in fact very new to tinnitus. As everybody may imagine, there are thousands of thoughts and questions in my mind right now. Last Saturday, about 5 days ago, I went to a very loud venue and was...

Hi everybody! I am very new to this forum and to tinnitus as well. I tried to post an introduction but I don't think I managed to. Anyway I have an acoustic trauma induced tinnitus since last Saturday (4-5 days now). I went out with a couple of friends and unknowingly stood next to the...

Hello, I am new to this forum and have been going through it everyday for 4 days now. Last Saturday I went out to a DJ show with a couple of friend. I attend concerts every once a month at most, usually in small venues without speakers etc. This was one my my very few club experiences...
