I have tried several notching/masking apps to use on my phone with my earbuds. Every one of the apps I've used allows you to pick specific frequencies (e.g. 7,250 Hz, etc). I need an app that allows you to notch an entire range of frequencies. For example, notching from 5,000Hz to 7,000 Hz...

I'm a lifelong tinnitus sufferer in both ears (head). I'm 51 years old and male. My ringing is comprised of a range of frequencies that have made masking impossible; my ringing is probably composed of hundreds of frequencies. As of this weekend and for no apparent reason, the "ringing" volume...

I'm interested to know how many members of the forum have had T all of their lives like I have or have had it for many decades. Please reply to this thread if you've had T all of your life. I would be interested in sharing T experiences with others who have had T "forever". Thanks. Chris

I've seen a tinnitus "spike" defined here as a temporary or permanent increase in ringing over a current level. I get those too and are usually induced by loud environments and as such, I'm very protective of my hearing (hyperacusis adds to that as well for me). Do any of you have a much more...

I have both T and H. I have had T since early childhood and probably H since then, but my H has gotten worse through the years. I know many others on the forum have both T and H. I'm curious how many have one, the other or both. Chris

Hello All: I have had Tinnitus for as long as I can remember so I've never known life without it. An audiologist confirmed my Tinnitus and also Hyperacusis and during my appointment told me something that was a revelation to me and I feel explains much of how my personality was formed. The...

I have had tinnitus all my life with the ringing being a constant tone at approx 1750hz. I also suffer from Hyperacusis which affects me to a greater degree under stress. When I go to a movie, which is rare, I always wear ear plugs. I did see an audiologist about a year ago and my tinnitus...

I've had lifelong T and H. My hearing is very good/hyper sensitive even with the continuous ringing of T. My biggest issue has always been that my brain seems to want to focus on all sounds equally. Is there a disorder which identifies such an issue? Examples: If I'm listening to someone in...

Hello Dr. Hubbard: Thank you for your willingness to devote time to helping others in this way. I've had both tinnitus and hyperacusis, I will assume, since birth both conditions recently confirmed by an audiologist during a full hearing eval. I understand a treatment for hyperacusis is...

Hello All: My name is Chris and I've had tinnitus since childhood; I would assume since birth, but oddly I can't remember back that far.:) I also have hyperacusis. Both were confirmed by an audiologist about six months ago. Otherwise, my hearing is in the normal range with one ear being...
