@Robm21 I have exactly the same kind of T since 2.5 months. I hear loud high pitched sound (at least 5-10x times my baseline T) everytime someone's opening a door, drops something, someone sneezes). I also lasts usually less than a second. I had mild T for long time and 2.5months ago I had...

I'm thinking about trying DIY neuromodulation. I had some limited success listening to tones, which sometimes quietens a bit my baseline T for short time (unfortunately I haven't observed change to my reactive part of T, which is the most annoying thing). My question is if officially...

Thank you all for further replies: @Karl28 - do you have reactive T to sound as well? did it get better or just stayed? what was the reason for worsening T in 2015? @eric peterson - thanks for warm words. The biggest problem I have that my T is reactive produces loud after-sound after hearing...

I have something similar since 2 months ago, but my T reacts to noises, especially higher-pitched I think. I don't have "wind blowing" sounds, instead I hear a very highly pitched sound for a very brief amount of time (at least 5x louder than baseline T). Sorry I can't help. I'm just another...

Now when I'm in the darkness and feel like my old life is in some way finished, I found last words of Steve Jobs' really profound and powerful. I thought I will share. Steve jobs’ Last Words - I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of...

Thank you both for your warm and encouraging answers @billie48 - I always appreciate people believing in God. It seems it gives them so much strength. When it comes to me I've been agnostic most of my life and it's unlikely to change. Nonetheless if someone is hit by such a life alerting...

Hi All fellow TT members, A word of warning: This is a little sad, self pitying story about my life, attempts to make my life better, how recent tinnitus shattered my life and how I'm attempting to find a light in the darkness. If you're in a happy mood, probably better not to read my bullocks...

Hello, I'm planning to try home made neuromodulation based on this link: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/acoustic-cr%C2%AE-neuromodulation-do-it-yourself-guide.1469/ I don't give myself much hope as my tinnitus is now reactive, but I want to try after I've noticed my tinnitus sometimes...

No worse and no improvement on my end. I think mine doesn't react to stress as is the same most of the time now. Tomorrow I will go to another ENT. Probably waste of money though. I wonder if it's possible there's something wrong with eustachian tube. Something mechanical causing reactive...

Noisebox - it is true that sometimes sounds seem to be louder as I pay more attention, however I don't feel pain when hearing noises. When I'm outside when I hear traffic, my tinnitus is usually masked and I'm not bothered by noise, sirens any more than usual. Also, my T is not noise induced...

Thanks Nucleo for your suggestion. I will have a look what diplacusis is. I went to GP and privately to ENT. Both were useless and didn't do anything apart from looking at my eardrums. I still don't know how all that happened. I just woke up with sinuses filled up and now my life has changed

Valeri, thanks for your reply. I really hope both of our reactive t. will get better. Have you noticed any changes in reactive t? Better/worse or just the same? Mine started a month later than yours.

Hi All, I got a mild tinnitus after a bad flu 11y ago. 6 weeks ago I woke with with my sinuses filled up and new trouble started. Tinnitus got louder. After 6 weeks it seems it got a bit better, however the biggest problem is my new tinnitus (which I had since 6 weeks ago, but now I just...

hiya, i want to confirm that this method gives me some hope. it seems to work, especially advanced method 7 (at least for some time) what i do i use sinugator (netty pot with batteries), tilt my head to the left, then do valsalva manuveur until i hear crackling water in my left ear. as...

thank you both Glynis and Sgguy46 for your reply. this problem persist practically from the beginning of my unfortunate cold. as it feels my tinnitus is more manageable than 5 weeks ago (or at least i fool mysleft it does), the 'white noise echo' amplification becomes an increasingly bigger...

Hi All, I have a mild tinnitus for 11 years after a bad flu. I got used to it and mostly I could hear it only in silence. 5 weeks ago I had a strange cold. I woke up with my sinuses filled up with mucus, but no other cold symptoms. It made my T more noticeable in left ear to the level I...

Thank you Noisebox for your advice. I indeed might have used a steroid spray not as I should. I wonder if this might be the reason why my ears still feel with pressure and my worse tinnitus isn't getting much better, even though it's already over a month since I woke up with full sinuses (which...

Mayo, why are you doomed? Is you tinnitus a consequence of a flu as well?

How can I get tympanometry? In the UK, both GPs and ENTs take a piss and don't give you any valuable advice.

Hello Glynis, Many thanks for your reply. I went to GP two weeks ago. Ears looked good. He gave me a steroid to inhale. It didn't help. I also go a few times a week to a steam room. No difference :(. I had sinuses clogged before, but my tinnitus was never as bad and persistent as now :(

Hello fellow sufferers, I had a mild tinnitus for over 11 years. It started after a bad flu with my sinuses heavily congested. I woke up with a buzzing and it stayed with me since then. It wasn't bad, I could hear it only in silence and I get used to it pretty quickly. Life was still good. A...
