    Something I Don't Get with Your Brain Is Trying to Replace the Lost Sound Frequency Theory

    My tinnitus is at a very high frequency and is very loud. Something I don't get with your brain is trying to replace the sound theory... If I had to hear that tone at anytime even with great hearing, it would drive me insane. In fact I used to work as a tech in a television repair shop...

    Jackass Neighbor and His Labor Day Fireworks

    So I was trying to relax last night to hopefully get at least some sleep. It was Labor Day here in the US. So my jackass neighbor decided to launch some fireworks. They were so loud! I thought I left my windows open but they were closed. I grabbed my earplugs but they were of little...

    Periodic Pure Tones / Voices

    My normal tinnitus is sort of a high pitched tone that varies in frequency a bit. Every once in a great while I will hear a rather loud lower pitched tone. Put just for a very brief period. Pretty sure it was from no outside source. Anyone else get this? The other thing I get is in a...

    Can't Sleep AT ALL without the Help of Xanax — Tinnitus So Loud

    I can no longer sleep without help from drugs. I have tried everything. Trying to relax, melatonin, masking sounds, playing the radio. But the tinnitus has gotten SO LOUD none of that helps. When I say can't sleep I mean none, nada. I just lay there all night. Add to the fact with this...

    Sleep Headphones / Sound Machine or Just a Mobile App?

    Just ordered one of these that I am anxious to try. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V2S95BG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thought others might find it interesting. But my question, has anyone found any benefits of a dedicated sleep machine over just an app for phone or...

    Do Hearing Aids Help with Your Hyperacusis?

    I have already asked if hearing aids helped with your tinnitus, now I would like to know about sound sensitivity. With my ramp up in tinnitus, I have noticed a new thing, a ramp up in sensitivity to high pitch sounds. Other loud sounds don't particularly bother me I think. Other than I am...

    Do You Think That More People Have Tinnitus But Rarely Notice It?

    When I was a kid, my ears would just ring from time to time for no reason. My mom would say "someone is talking about you". If it is a saying then it tells me that just happens from time to time for most people. I got to wondering that if most people's ears ring often just they can ignore...

    Has Anyone Had to Go to a Convalescent Home Because of Their Tinnitus?

    The noise in my head is so bad now I am afraid I am going to go insane. I cannot sleep without meds and I can't keep taking Ambien everyday to get to sleep. My problem is that it is just me here. I have no one to go out and buy food. I can't drive because I can't sleep. I can't live...

    How Long Does It Take for the Effects of Steroids to Wear Off?

    I was put on high dosages of steroids recently, due to a sudden hearing loss. The tinnitus has also been ramping up recently (started before the steroids). I have had a lot of trouble sleeping lately. Not sure if it is the uptick of my tinnitus or because of the steroids. Or a little...

    Any Research Being Done for at Least Temporarily Turning Off the Tinnitus?

    I was thinking. Since tinnitus is an auditory issue, why can't the sound just be turned off in the brain? Even if it is all sound. We are learning more and more about the brain every day. We have had nerve blocks for years, though I suppose that works only on the lower body and is...
