Ever since getting my tinnitus, I’ve realized it’s fairly common. I work in a fairly small office, and 3 of us have it (all in our mid twenties). I’m sure others have it as well, it just hasn’t been discussed as I’m not on that level of “closeness” with them There are also so many instances of...

Anyone experience such a thing? Most posts here seem to indicate that ear fullness/hyperacusis gets better and then tinnitus improves. But what about the other way around? How is it possible that tinnitus is less intrusive but the noise distortion/congestion and fullness seems to be getting worse?

Hello everyone, I recently turned 26. Up until now I have been on my parent's plan which was awesome, Blue Cross PPO, so I could basically see any doctor I wanted without a referral. For those of you who do not know, in the U.S once you turn 26 you get kicked off your parent's insurance. My...

I have had tinnitus since November 20th. Started out as crazy ringing in both ears, multiple tones, loud crickets, beeping sounds, tuning forks, pretty much every sound people have described on here and then some. My tinnitus followed a weekend of lots of noise exposure. Friday night - concert...

I thought it would be cool to have a place where people can leave their favorite watering holes, coffee shops, restaurants and other places of entertainment in the cities that they are located. With all these restaurants and bars thinking it’s a great idea to blast ear damaging music during all...

If tinnitus can occur from any sort of loud environment; loud bars, concerts, loud restaurants, basically anything in the harmful dB levels, why isn’t it more common? Or do you guys suspect that more people have it than we realize? There seems to be a lot of people who talk about always having...

One thing I’m struggling to understand is what happens physically with those people who see improvement? If there is damage to the little hairs in the ear, why are some days somewhat silent and others debilitating? Does it mean the hairs aren’t completely destroyed, but struggling to stay alive...

I have seen this quite a few times on here and I have a question for all the folks here who suffer with a ringing they haven't gotten used to. I work a 9-5. Work is manageable, but as soon as I get home and step foot in my house, it's all downhill. For some reason my ears feel even more clogged...

Not sure if it is hyperacusis or not, as my ears were pretty sensitive before I developed my tinnitus, but it has gotten a bit worse. I can’t say I feel a sharp pain with noises, but a bit of discomfort. It could also be just my anxiety as I’ve gone through quite a bit of stress these last few...

Those of you that were able to habituate, how long did it take you before you felt comfortable going out with friends again? I am already feeling like my entire social life is withering away as I am worried about being in loud settings. I had to leave a dinner with coworkers because the music...

Hello everyone, I was very hesitant to be posting here as I am 3 weeks into this thing and am doing my best to habituate, but after lurking for these last few days decided to bite the bullet so here I am. I want to keep this as brief as possible, but I have a feeling it will get lengthy Age...
