For the last month I have been plagued by something new. Some sounds produce a ring like after tone which had developed after being exposed to a very loud environment. I have also gotten a new tinnitus sound, a electrical crickety echo kind of sound and of course this sound is made louder by...

Ok, my last post was a panic induced pent up post. My feelings and life are nowhere near as grim. Look what I have is the following, my general hyperacusis-when car breaks hurt like hell has gone down. My original undertones -pc undertones are 90% gone. I think what I have is more of a reactive...

I have been given a combination drug which is Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, can this make tinnitus worse? Last time I took amoxicillin my left ear spiked for about 2 days after I stopped taking it but after that it went away easy enough. I'm afraid of a spike as after recently getting a mild form...

After accumulating this little piece of work bonus, life has once more gone down on the quality scale. After asking around the forum and not getting any real information I was wondering if you had anything to share with me about the subject. It appeared after some people yelled next to my ears...

You know now I finally get why my tinnitus is taking it's sweet time with the healing. The God damn class room noises. Today after having to sit through some stupid idiots yelling out loud cause it's the only way anyone will ever listen to them seeing as how they're dumb enough to be failing the...

So after having some people yell very loudly next to me I got myself some hearing distortion where some sounds caused a sickly hard part of the sponge rubbing on metal sound that really bothers me most of the time. Then in all my NOT THINKING I DIDN'T WEAR EARPLUGS WHEN DRYING MY F**KING HAIR...

So the last couple of days were very loud for me. 1st there was a basketball game where people at times yelled very close to my ear 2nd was a football game where the ball hit some metal wires and it was loud as hell (knew something would happen after that one) So after these two I started...

So I had a loud event where people yelled quite close to me for a few moments. After that I've gotten some form of hearing distortion. Say I run my foot through my shag carpet I hear the normal sounds but I also hear this somewhat distorted undertone, same goes for some sounds in the distance...

3 days ago I went to a friends house, we laughed quite loudly and I thought to myself how this will most likely spike my Tinnitus and so it did. The spike was weird took a nights sleep to manifest, I firstly noticed a spike in the ear that absorbed the laughing if you will, so this got me...

I just wanted to ask, is it true that if you have Tinnitus your cells degenerate so you lose your hearing. For instance my hearing is normal now but in 5 years due to Tinnitus it gets a lot worse, I don't mean the common progressive hearing loss where I can't hear 18 000 Hz anymore I mean real...

Ok so along with my Tinnitus I have this thing. Basically, I hear undertones in mostly electrical stuff, my PC produces some high pitched windy eeee, also it is generally louder than it was pre Tinnitus. I've also been getting more undertones as I get in loud situations. Example: Friends come...

Hi everyone, haven't been posting in a while since yesterday. I've mostly come to terms with my Tinnitus, mostly not habituated yet. Yesterday I had some weird pressure change thing that made my ear reactive as hell for bout half an hour, was worried it was an infection. It went away soon...

I felt a pressure in my ear, after that the pressure is subsiding but now I have some reactivity in my ear. Now I know you don't believe in reactive Tinnitus but every time I take the chips bag next to me and make sounds with it, when I stop I hear a ring stopping with it as well. I'm afraid if...

My left ear has pressure, it's spiked a little, but the most horrible thing is now all sound make a faint ringing noise like extreme reactive Tinnitus. WHAT IS THIS, when I take the chips bag and move it around it makes my left ear ring, everything makes it ring, my own voice, the voice of my...

I have finally figured out why my new sound sensitivity I think came along. It seems every time I have friends over and they get really loud it seems to agitate my audio nerve and therefore I get some new sensitivity. Now I'm not panicking because I believe that once I let it go, stop the...

Hello everyone, hope your having a good day. About 2 months ago I smoked some weed and ever since that day my PC's sound has been 2 times louder which is annoying. Don't know if it was the THC or my friends yelling in my room a couple of times but hey it's Tinnitus an annoying condition that our...

I have read somewhere that THC can cause sounds to be perceived louder as it enhances the sensations and senses. I'm not sure if it can make it last this long though. A month ago I smoked some weed and ever since then my standard PC noise has been 2-3 times louder I'm hoping it's the THC since...

How does ear recruitment work exactly. I thought about it and I got scared that my upgraded sound sensitivity is maybe ear recruitment. Basically 2 things happened on the day it got worse 1.) Smoked weed for the first time 2.) Friends came over and one of them shouted 2-3 times loudly for a...

I smoked a moderate amount of weed in the period of a week some 30 days ago. It was the first time I had smoked weed, I took a lot of deep hits and smoked probably 4-5 fat joints. After that some sounds are louder, I've read somewhere that THC can cause your perception of noise to change since...

I have sound sensitivity whereas I hear "undertones" if you will, it has gotten better since the beginning of my T mid august but unfortunately its still there along with my Tinnitus. So two weeks ago I smoked some weed, don't know why I probably wanted to see what all the fuss was about...

Anyone maybe try sensory deprivation tanks? It's supposed to make the brain really really chill. Maybe help with tinnitus?

Ok so we've established that my Tinnitus is A:Probably temporary B:Mild C:No reason for me to be worried. That's all fine and dandy but I can't help but get agitated at times by my "Sound Sensitivity". It's weird and I have no idea what is causing it or what it even is. Can't be ear recruitment...

Read your post and I'm really feeling good about mine resolving now, less stress and all that, I guess what bothers me isn't the sound rather that it instils a sense of dread and hopelessness because it scared me so much in the beginning. Anyway what are these protocols? are they perhaps what...

I'm sorry for posting so soon again, now don't worry I'm not in panic mode or anything like that I'm not going to start posting 10 times a day. I just figured out that while this site is great it does induce a fear of Tinnitus a bit, what with all the people who have it increasing and people...

I'm not sure about Reactive T, I'm pretty sure I don't have anything of the sorts. I most probably have some sound sensitivity, everyone seems to have had it in the beginning of their T, but I'm a bit worried if it might be Ear Recruitment as that won't go away unlike the sound sensitivity. Now...

Well is there? I probably have Tinnitus beginning sound sensitivity, it seems almost everyone had it in the beginning, some have it still. But I'm worried if it might be ear recruitment, but then again that would be illogical as it's not baseline same as always rather my sound sensitivity...

So I've been trying to be positive about this bullshit of a condition, and mostly I think I have been doing a good job at it, well the best job I can do after only 2 months. But I still have bad days and this is one of them, so I'm about to rant a bit. First of all while life can be great and...

Well where to being, I got Tinnitus as a result of going to a gig where due to my horrible luck the vocalist of a band that was supposed to play didn't show up thus leaving us with the bad, high pitched voice of their deluded base player. After he let out a really bad shrieking scream my ears...

Why is it that in school we get scare tactics about drugs and teeth and sex but nothing about Tinnitus. In school we had a drug awareness thing where there was a picture of a fireball and they said some dude smoked weed and jumped out of the building cause he thought the fireball was chasing...

Here I am posting again, since I got my Tinnitus back in mid august it has dropped significantly, going so far as to since yesterday I can barely hear it in a quiet room, even when wearing my headphones that sort of cancel noise it's faint. This has made me believe even more that mine is...

Don't get me wrong I'm not going to take a pistol and fire it next to my ears LOL. I was just wondering what do you think happens? I have read a couple of stories where people had Tinnitus and then the experienced a sudden loud noise dog bark,gunshot or something like that and it went away. Any...

So I have posted a lot of times that some electric appliances produce noises I didn't hear before. Today I had the idea of using my TV along with my headphones as a way of blocking out the noise of ringing my PC now produces. It lasted for a while but, I still knew it was there and after a...

So I don't have reactive Tinnitus, what I have is Ear Recruitment. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I wanted to ask is Ear Recruitment permanent or can it go away? Also does this lessen the chance of my Tinnitus going away? is it possible that the Tinnitus will go but the ear...

Well I know what I have. Ear recruitment. Yep, ain't life grand sometimes you spend your entire life around PC's learning them and then you get a condition that makes your ears ring around them. I have Sensorineural Hearing Loss and with that came ear recruitment. Don't know what this means for me.

So the Tinnitus is generally going down. It rises at times because of the somewhat loud class room but it settles down easy enough. While I am somewhat more open to the idea that my Tinnitus has a good chance of doing, I am annoyed from time to time even worried from the Reactive part of it. I...

This has started to happen recently. My Tinnitus gets worse for instance now, then I go to sleep and it gets better. Then sometime during the day it gets worse. Then it gets better. When I don't listen for it and am doing something else I can barely hear it. But if I stop and listen to it my...

Feeling down and angry about my Tinnitus so I'm going to rant and let some of that out. Ok first of all I can't express how angry I am at the media, nobody takes Tinnitus seriously they just think what's the worse that can happen from having a little ring in your ears. I am angry that I was...

I don't know what the hell is wrong with my brain/ears. I got Tinnitus sure but I've gotten use to that as it has gone down to air sound levels and I am no longer bothered by it. What I am bothered by is the fact that whenever I spend a lot of time around some electrical appliance, be it my PC...

I have found out that basically every time I spend some time in a not loud but a place with a lot of sounds my Tinnitus gets better. Just came back from a friends, the Tinnitus is the lowers it's been, and also the I am less bothered by some noises. Does anyone else have this? I think the more I...

So some people like me have their Tinnitus react to sounds that are around the frequency of their Tinnitus. Why is that? I remember when I got Tinnitus my PC didn't make my ears ring until 5 days later. Now in school after having listened to the same projection PC for 4 weeks it makes my ears...

I've had a lot of friends who have had Tinnitus for a few days due to them being at loud concerts what I'm wondering is, how come theirs goes away in a couple of days while mine is taking its sweet time. Also got a friend who had noise induced Tinnitus for 2 months. His Tinnitus was practically...

I don't know what to think of my ears any more. I must say this Tinnitus thing is some right bullsh*it. So the Tinnitus is still going down, it's changed to an air sound, If I stand in complete silence I start to feel pressure in my ears and instead of an air sound I hear a ring in the left ear...

Got Tinnitus a month ago, the Tinnitus has come down a lot it went from a ring to air sounds which is great. I think I might have hyperacusis, the sound my PC produces or the TV or squealing car brakes seem louder than usual. The doctors say It could just be stress, my brain being wired from all...

A month ago I contracted Tinnitus from a loud gig, It was the first time it had happened and it took me to a really bad place, I was constantly stressed,angry,depressed I wasn't eating at times I was suicidal. 3 weeks later I got better, started eating, started being happy again. And now I'm at...

Hello,my name is Ilija. 16th of August was a really bad day for me as that is the day I decided to go to only the 2nd gig in my life. The 1st gig was quite loud,but I didn't experience any ringing only stuffiness in ears which resolved rather quickly. The 2nd time there was this singer who...

Hi my name is Ilija,I'm new to the forum. 3 weeks ago I went to the 2nd gig of my life,I had the usual symptoms stuffed ears and temporary noise induced hearing loss,but I noticed something else,something I never experienced in my entire life a ring in my ears.I thought it would go away in a...
