    Are There Any Remote Jobs That Don't Require Audio (Phone or Video Calls)?

    I work as a bagger at a grocery store. It's been very very stressful because of severe reactive tinnitus. Where we collect all the carts in the parking lot, I have my hearing aid turned off almost every time. I have to go out there for 30 minutes which is 3 or 4 times a day. I was able to keep...

    Why Do I Keep Hearing Tinnitus in My Dreams?

    I see most people don't hear tinnitus in dreams and I'm wondering why I'm having dreams of hearing it in dreams. Even people who say their tinnitus is severe and unmaskable say they never hear it in dreams. I have had my severe intrusive reactive tinnitus for almost 2 years and I hear it all...

    Ear Lets Out a Loudish Squeal Lasting 2 Seconds When Listening to Music? Is This Hyperacusis?

    Is this a part of hypercusis? Music already sounds a bit distorted to me but when I try to listen to music after resting my ears for a bit, suddenly a loudish squeal about 2 seconds long appears during the music and goes away, sometimes I get a loud beep instead of the squeal. I get it...

    Any Others with Reactive Tinnitus / Hyperacusis Watch Movies on Mute?

    I'm thinking of watching a movie tonight but it's going to be on silent so I'm just going to have subtitles on and read while I watch it with no sound on because my tinnitus is really reactive and competes with voices on TV so it's too distracting to watch with sound. It might not be as...

    Thanksgiving & Christmas: How Do Severe Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Sufferers Cope?

    Anyone Else Have More Than Just One Reactive Tinnitus Sound?

    I have multiple reactive tinnitus sounds that I hear everywhere and it can range from 3 to 5 tones. I feel like such an extreme case since most people talk only about having one reactive sound like a hiss or something. I've got beeps and whistles and hums that I can't mask. I'd like to hear...

    Why Are Older People More Likely to Have Severe Tinnitus Than Young Folks?

    I noticed more older people in their 40s and 50s get severe intrusive tinnitus while younger folks in their 20s like me have super mild barely audible tinnitus or no tinnitus. The young folks talk about how they have to spend a few minutes in a super quiet room plugging their years really...

    Tinnitus So Intrusive It's Hard to Follow Conversations?

    I have tinnitus so intrusive, it will literally ring with every word spoken to me, so it's that bad. It's been a year with this living nightmare and I'm so devastated. It's hard to watch TV or talk to someone. Anyone else have this? If so, how do you deal with it? I'm only 24 and before...

    Why Do Some People’s Reactive Tinnitus Go Away After a Few Months?

    I’ve had horrible reactive tinnitus for 11 months now but at the beginning it reacted to things like fans and cars going by and music but now it reacts to voices and even whispering... and it’s been reacting to voices for 7 months now. I’m at a loss. I was born with severe to profound hearing...
