    Weak and Aching Neck — Would a Cervical Collar Help Me?

    Hello, I have some weird problem with my neck. I would say it started slowly a year ago when we entered lockdown and I was doing school from my bed and my table through my laptop. I think the continuous looking down made my neck broken. Now I feel like my neck is always hard, like your arm...

    Treatments for Cervical Spine (Neck) Induced Tinnitus

    Hi. I know that if you have tinnitus caused by cervical spine (neck region) issues, it probably won't go away on its own until you do something about it, and still it may take long time to get better. But I have a problem to find reliable material about treating neck tinnitus. There are only a...

    1) Can Tinnitus Cause Headaches? 2) Can Headaches Cause Tinnitus?

    Hi. I think that the majority of people consider headaches to be the result of stress and anxiety caused by tinnitus. Also doctors, when I mention headaches, tell me "I can give you something to calm your nerves down" or so. But what if the headaches are caused directly by tinnitus, not just...

    Oxygen Ion 3000 Therapy for Treating Tinnitus — My Review

    This is very unknown therapy, I didn't find much about it on the internet, especially about treating tinnitus with this. Yet one ENT in my proximity openly advertises this as a tinnitus treatment and has many people going there using this. I was also one of them, unfortunately. How it works...

    Prevalence of Idiopathic Tinnitus — How Often Is the Underlying Condition Really Found?

    When I read local health portals in my country, almost every portal/blog says that tinnitus is sometimes treated by finding the underlying medical condition, however, in majority of cases the underlying condition is never found, therefore the tinnitus is considered idiopathic and it is never...

    Can White Noise Generators / Maskers Cause Hearing Distortion? If So, What's the Mechanism?

    Hi. I have read from a few sources on the internet, including tinnitus masker manufacturers, about masking tinnitus. It has been stated that it is complicated to mask high-pitched or too loud tinnitus because the masker needs to be loud and the distortion is then too significant. Can anyone...

    How Does Sound Spread — What Effect Does Distance Have on Decibel (dB) Levels?

    Hi. I'm not a physics expert; I had only very basic acoustic physics high school. You can find brochures everywhere on the internet that show what decibel (dB) level is harmful to a human ear, or more precisely, how long can a human ear withstand a particular dB level before it can be damaged...

    What Would Change If You Knew What Will Happen 6-12 Months Since Your Tinnitus Onset?

    This question is for people who are already 6-12 months behind their tinnitus onset. If you had a time machine and would be able to travel to time of few days/weeks after your tinnitus onset, what would you say to your old self? Would it change the situation your old self is in?

    If My Tinnitus Doesn't Get Spikes from Loud Noise, Does It Mean It's Not Noise Induced?

    Hi. As I lurk through the forum, I notice many of you co-sufferers say that sometimes or everytime you are confronted with loud noise, you get a spike. And many of you also say your tinnitus was caused by acoustic trauma or it was noise induced. However, I noticed that my tinnitus doesn't have...

    How to Convince My Brother to Stop Using Headphones in Order to Protect His Hearing?

    Hi. I don't want to look like a hysterical kind of person but I am just trying to adapt to harsh reality. My tinnitus brutally worsened after I bought headphones and used them for one day on lowest volume. This is a fact. Ok, maybe it wasn't caused by headphones, but who knows? I haven't had...

    Culture Ignores Tinnitus

    In real life, Bart would get permanent bilateral tinnitus of at least 9 different tones, one cicadas, one crickets, hissing, TTTS, ear fullness, hearing loss, severe hyperacusis and dysacusis. Yet nothing happens in the cartoon. It is so pathetic that culture and general population acts like...

    Do I Have Otosclerosis? Or Am I Just Crazy?

    Hi, it is me again. This is week 7 of worst tinnitus in my life. I'm not improving, not a bit. I'm still trying to find the cause. I was going to physiotherapy, half of the sessions are behind me, with no change to tinnitus. I did not experience any noise trauma prior to my tinnitus onset. I...

    Can Tinnitus Change to a Better, More Tolerable Tone Over Time?

    I have multiple sounds along with some reactive tones. I'm 7 weeks in and none of the tones decreased by single bit, and I'm already trying to deal with the fact that it might stay there until a cure is found. It sucks but I feel that I'm able to tolerate majority of the sounds, again, till...

    Screeching and Whistling Caused by Fans and Car Tires

    Everytime a car passes by I hear a whistling sound. The same sound that I also hear when a fan is running. I also hear some high pitched sounds from computers and so on. Now. What the hell is this? I noticed these things just after I got a massive tinnitus increase. I'm 95% sure I didn't...

    YouTube Neck Stretching & Tapping for Tinnitus Relief: Valid or Snake Oil?

    Loud Tinnitus Started Just 2 Days After I Started Using Headphones on Lowest Volume

    Hi. I'm 19 year-old boy, who studies from home right now. Since I live with my family and I needed better focus to my classes, on 3rd March I finally decided to buy and started using over-head headphones. At first I was happy, but I didn't know this was the worst decision in my entire life...
