    Re-Habituation

    Due to my recent circumstances, I've been wondering - when you get tinnitus first time round, you eventually get used to the sound and (at least in my case) it gets to the point where you can barely even hear it, or if you can it doesn't really effect you too badly. What if you get an increase...

    Tinnitus Increase Since the Beginning of the Week

    I've had tinnitus for about two years now and until recently I've pretty much gotten used to it. That is until a few of days ago - on Monday I woke up to find that in one ear my tinnitus had gotten a lot louder. I've tried all my tricks like popping my ears, rubbing around the ear, temples or...

    Movie Date Concerns

    I'm going on a date with someone to see Mockingjay at the cinema at some point next week and I'm wondering whether I should take my ear plugs (they're some of those e22 things that djs wear). Or will I be okay without them? Because in my experience, the Hunger Games movies arent especially loud...

    Relationships and Tinnitus

    I'm worried about getting into a relationship with someone. It sounds silly, but it feels like if I do get together with someone, they'll have to deal with it as much as I do - worst of all be turned off by it. It's not like it really need any managing, but still, the feeling's there, I'm...

    Tinnitus Makes Me Feel Like I Can't Do Anything

    Since I got T I've been too scared to get out and DO stuff. I'm not talking about clubbing - that kinda goes off the table when you get it. I mean life stuff like learning to drive and Uni. For instance, I recently heard about a Zombie experience going on in my local town. I really want to go...

    Nervous About Learning to Drive

    I keep wanting to take up learning to drive with some lessons I got for my birthday (last Winter) and before I got T, iwas planning to get to them, but now, I'm cautious about using them in case they make it worse.... Anybody here have any trouble with driving with T? If so, how do you manage...

    Possible ETD - Any Tips?

    After having it for around 6 months, my T had finally quietened down to thepoint where I didn't entirely mind it. A couple of days ago, however, I caught a bad cold which suddenly caused my ear to feel blocked and the T to become louder. Shortly after getting the cold (at about 3 o'clock in...

    Only Had It Months, but Still...

    I got T after a night at my pub's disco in April 2014. Sounds obvious, but I'm not exactly certain how I got it, because the morning after, not only did I have the Noise, but also a very block-y cold. I waited a few days, and it didn't go away. I suppose, beforehand, I did overdo my ears a bit...
