    I Don't Understand My Tinnitus

    I went to an outdoor festival with my college for 3 days. I wore earplugs, and I was standing far away from the speakers. The music was loud, and my earplugs didn't even work properly. I don't understand why I didn't get a spike as I expected. I can listen to music at any volume, and it doesn't...

    I Think My Tinnitus Is Fading!

    I have mild T (please don't judge!) so I don't know if this will help at all, but I'm so happy right now. My T has been barely noticeable for the past two weeks, and I've even woken up in (almost) silence! My trick was that I stopped caring about it - literally. I stopped looking for it because...

    Tinnitus Got Louder ;(

    I've been living with mild tinnitus for about 7 months now, but yesterday I came up with a pretty stupid idea. I wanted to test how much noise my ears could handle before I eventually would get a spike or something, so I decided to listen to music at the same volume I used to the whole day. It...

    Is This Normal? My Tinnitus Changes Volumes at Odd Times

    My tinnitus changes volume at odd times. It mostly gets louder when I go to bed, and when I manage to relax then it goes back to normal again. I think I might be habituated to it because I already know when my T changes in volume. And it's quite in the morning but gets louder during the day. I'm...

    Tinnitus and Sleep Meds

    I've had insomnia since early childhood (I'm 20 now), and my doctor gave me some pills that should help me fall asleep. However, I'm still concerned about my T and I'm afraid the pills may make it worse. If sleep pills can cause T to get worse then I'd rather live with insomnia than a very loud...

    Earwax Removal? Did It Help?

    I finally got the nerve to talk to my mother about T. She was worried but as I expected, she would support me and take me to the doctor after the holidays. But I'm so scared. I fear that earwax removal will make my T worse, as it already is in my left ear :( I can't sleep anymore. It's fine...

    Tinnitus Accepted

    I've been struggling with tinnitus in 5 months now. I have screamed. I have cried. I have lost lots of sleep. But now I have come to the conclusion that it is pointless to freak out because I know I have to live with this the rest of my life. Besides that I'm born with autism and a heart defect...

    Possible Hearing Loss?

    I did a hearing test on YouTube but I could only hear between 10- 12000 hz. Almost everyone in the comments section could hear around 17000 hz. So the question is: Could this be a possible hearing loss? I'm really concerned about it.

    Tinnitus Didn't Get Worse After Going to Festival

    For a few days ago I went to a festival with my college (I had no other choice but going) and I was standing as far from the stage as possible. I also used earplugs and they didn't even work properly. The music was loud but oddly enough it didn't affect my T. Why is that? I don't really get it.

    Tinnitus Got Worse After Drinking Coca-Cola?

    Sorry for posting so many threads, but I think my T has gotten worse after I drank some cola. When I finished drinking I noticed that my T was louder than before. Now I can even hear it when I'm outside which I couldn't before. It sounds like many high pitched beeps that come randomly. And it is...

    Is There a Chance My Tinnitus Will Go Away or Am I Just Hoping?

    I have had T since February and I had trouble sleeping because of a very loud high pitched T in both ears. Besides, I don't really hear my T when I'm in loud environments. Most every day sounds mask it. But, yesterday I went out for a long walk with my family because I was bored. Normally I...

    Don't Think I Can Survive This...

    Hi! As you can see, I am new to this site and new to T as well. I don't know if this is the right place to talk about this but I really need some advice. I have had a horrible ringing in both ears since February and I thought, like many others, that it just would go away by itself.. However...
