I don't even know if calling it "Anniversary" is a right term, but it is what it is. So, i got used to live with T cause i don't have a choice. I hear it everyday and when i go to sleep i feel sad that this crap is with me, but there is not much i can do. Distraction is the key, but true is no...

I want to get back to playing drums. I do have electronic drums set. I am not a professional drummer, I just do it as a hobby in addition to other stuff i like. It makes me happy and although I do have T i want to enjoy it if I can. My goal is to learn basic snare rudiments and beats. I am...

Exactly 1 year ago on July 13 I acquired tinnitus. Things did not change much. My tinnitus sounds the same and I did not experience any miracles. I wish it would go away, but that seems to be not happening. I must live with it and somehow enjoy my life. I know that the only way to do so is to...

Hello, Thx again for all the support. I hope you are doing well and happy again after the recent spike you experienced. This Friday it will be exact 1 year since my tinnitus started. Somehow I survived but I wish it would be gone. I am slowly realizing that this is for life. Over that one...

My wife just started to have some pain in the ear and fullness feeling. She was not exposed to any loud noise. It just started 2 days ago. Should she wait few more days or should she go to the doctor? Should she go to regular MD or ENT? I am scared and worried that something bad could happen...

Hello, Please only answer if you have had a high-frequency hearing test. I wonder how many people have tinnitus with no hearing loss, and how many people have tinnitus with hearing loss.

Have anyone had any success with meditation to get into so called state of silence? I started to practice meditating but tinnitus is always with me and does not shut off while I meditate. I believe that with meditation one could completely shut it off and enjoy the silence again.

Is it possible to further damage ones hearing with the audiogram test? For the audiogram in order to know the hearing levels the tones must be played loud enough to be heard. If one has lets say already 60db loss at specific frequency louder tones must be played to find that loss level. How low...

I have been putting cotton in my ears every day to protect againts all harsh sounds like mixers, trains, screams, cars etc. I noticed improvement in hearing and tinnitus being softer then before and much less reactive t. When I expose myself to the sounds again my left ear kind of hurts. This...

When I listen to the audio with lots of high HIHAT percussion I can hear it perfectly with the right ear, but not with left. When I listen only with left ear then exactly at the time when HIHAT percussion sound appears my ear starts to ring and makes fake sounds instead of me being able to hear...

Can you ever get rid of the first though in the morning: "T, Are you there?" After 7 months of dealing with T, every time I wake up I check if I might get lucky and T is gone. Once I realize it is still there the though comes to mind: "This will never go away, what a life" Next, I say: "T is...

Are there any cases where people would loose hearing and get tinnitus where audiogram would show loss at different frequencies and over time the hearing would comeback by itself and audiogram would get back to normal?

Dr. Nagler, Please forgive me if this is a question that was asked or is similar to what was discussed before, but I would love to hear your opinion on my own case. You support on this forum is enormous and your answers gives me hope. As I explained before I started to have tinnitus after...

So last Wednesday I woke up with terrible cold or flu. The worse part was that I had to travel that day. My nose was runny as hell and I lost gallons of water through it. When the flight was over I noticed that my right ear could not adjust to new preassure. It was clicking like hell. Left...

Before I got T I used to drum 2-3 times a week on my electronic drumming set. It is not as loud as real drums, but you hear a lot of tapping against the rubber drum together with the actually drum sounds over the headsets. I used to drum with the 80-90% volume set for the headsets. Now I am...

So 6 months went by and not much changed regarding the volume and pitch of the t. What I noticed is that I react to it better then before. I feel like i am in acceptence mode. What happended can not be undone unless I get lucky and some miracle happens. What helps me is relaxation and...

I had a company party today and i was the only one wearing the ear plugs. Music was loud. So with er20 it felt good and safe and much better then without the pługs. Yep, i was the weirdo with pligs but who cares.

Amazing, how fast time flies. So far nothing changed. T is the same pitch and volume. Additionally I developed another lower pitch T on the right ear. Slowly I am getting used to this new reality as there is nothing I can do about it. Reading stories on the forum helps a lot. Who knows maybe...

Today I saw neurologist for my weird tingling and pain behind the eye problem which started about the sometime when my T started. I am mostly concern with the pain behind the eye and I can say it bugs me more then tinnitus which I try to ignore. My neurologist ordered two ct scans: Ct...

Hello Dr Nagler, I got to the point when I started to accepting my Tinnitus and I am just trying to live my life. Yes, I can hear it but I do my best to ignore it. I do have some stiff neck and tooth problems, but I I hope once my neck is stabilized through the the PT, all the sensations I am...

So my t was high frequency and mostly I would feel in in both ears but many times it would be more on the left side. I kind of got used to it and was able to sleep and do stuff hoping it would go away one day. But that was not enough. I got my reward for trying to figure out my t. Extras...

Assuming one does not have any haircell loss , I cannot stop wondering what T really is and why it manifests. What if all is by design and it is just there to tell you: "Houston, we got a problem, something is broken". Therefore habituation completed does not deal with the root cause of the...

I do regular epson baths to relax more to cope with t. Yesterday during the bath I put my ears under water. What i noticed later is that most of the ringing is on the left side and it got worse. I could not sleep again and woke up exausted again. Man I hate this t. Could water do anything...

Hello, I am not sure if this is related but since I started to have problems with ringing I also started to have issues with my neck being tense. Together with the tension I get weird sensations around my eye socket (tingling or eye twitching), tender to touch under the eye, I feel the tooth...

So I had few glasses of wine and was watching some tv show. After I finished the show I realized t was gone. I went to the bathroom and did not know what to think of while taking care of stuff. Don't bring it. It's gone. Thing about everything but t. So I do while I write it. I put music on...

Hello, First of all I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support. Having somebody as knowledgeable as You are in the T matter is a blessing. It has been four moths since my T started. (july 13th) I went to see ENT two weeks after T happened and I had below tests done...

To make sure I tried everything i stopped drinking coffee and wine. Things I love so much. I will continue doing so for 1 month so see if this affects my T. So far after 1.5 week I cannot tell any difference. Does coffee or wine spike your T?

Can you describe how does the silence feels or used to fell to you? What is it? Does it exist?

I just found out that my friend had T since he was 20 years old. He never said anything. Amazing. Now is is 44. He told me that to treat it he needs to be in complete silence at least 1 day a week. Like a sound chamber or something like that. Now sure where he got this idea from. He said...

So I have been reading a lot and I am seeing patterns when the H develops. It seems like all those people who get T initially get really stressed but they slowly get used to their new reality and try things to fix their T or make it better. What is interesting that after few weeks H shows up...

I mostly have T only but yesterday it spiked and my tension in neck was also more intense. I noticed something weird, I started to hear my ear breathing. (only one on the side with more tension) Changing a position finally settle it and it went away. It was not synced with the heartbeat. I...

Guys, something that has been bugging me since my T started. I had the root canal and crown work done on my tooth 4 months ago. For me the crown feels high and continues to bug me. I continue to go to dentist to have it adjusted and every time we feel like its ok, the tooth moves again and...

Amazing, I cannot believe I survived 3 months with that thing. I want to thank you all for support. Initially I though to just ignore the forums but I cannot. Reading all stories helps me a lot and learning more about T just makes things better for me. I would like to summarize my experience so...

There is an app for iphone called tinnitus meassure. It allows you to play specific frequency sound so you can compare it to your T. I am not a fan of playing these sounds as I am afraid it might affect the t but I tried few times. I noticed something weird. My t is high frequency so when I...

I love music and I continue to listen to it at low levels 70-75DB max. Is it still ok to do so? Can specific sounds affect your T even at low levels? My T is high pitch but I love high tones a lot. As of today I still can hear the difference between a 0-16000hz and 0-22000hz bandwidth. For me...

"You can always see your nose but your mind just ignores it." What if you apply same to T?

I am on vacation hanging out on the beach and doing nothing. What I noticed is that when I am outside I don't hear any tinnitus. When I go under water I don't hear it. (should not it be very noticeable) When I listen to music over headsets I don't hear it. I feel so great. But, the first thing...

So its been 6 weeks since my tinnitus started. There are bad and good days. I spend a lot of time reading about it and educating myself as much as i can. Understanding what is going on makes me feel better. I am still bothered by the fact that it happened and i still don't know why? Was it...

I wonder if everyone who notices tinnitus for the first time starts to be sensitive to sounds? For me it all started three weeks ago (6/13) and since then I started to become sensitive to sounds like running water, sounds of the keyboard I type on, squeezing brakes. All seems to be loud and...

Hello everyone, In recent months many things happen in my life so it makes for me harder to figure out why i do have a ringing in my ears. In the April i attended the audio show where you go from room to room and listen to different speakers. After the show I did not have any problems. Not...
