I also have stress induced tinnitus, and mine tends to go away when I'm out with folks enjoying myself. It also seems to fade for months/years after the periods of stress pass.

Michael, I'm a little unsure and admittedly uneasy why you're challenging me on the point about noise. I just came back here as I'm struggling and looking for advice on how to manage a relapse given a pattern of relapses that are not following noise-related events, hoping to find other people...

Thanks Michael. I am unsure of the cause. I have been to multiple ENTs that have run hearing tests which have indicated my hearing is fine, with no dips. I did have two bouts of hyperacusis; first when I got it in 2011, and again when I posted in 2015. Both went away with time. The therapists I...

Hi -- I am having another relapse and could use support. I have posted here in the past, but have been away for years at times. I first got tinnitus in 2011, and habituated (or disappeared?) after about 6 months. The same thing happened in 2017, and again in 2019, each time taking about six...

Just curious if anyone else has this. Now on month 4, and still no signs of stopping. Back in September, I developed a new noise in my right ear; a lower pitched almost beeping like sound that runs 24/7 and is the first "intrusive" noise I've developed since coming down with a bilateral...

Going with no on this one.

Thanks :) I'm scheduled to see someone at New York Otology in late January (barring something miraculous occurring before then; not holding my breath).

If you've found anyone in the NYC area that you'd considered "good" please let me know. I've had awful luck with NY Eye and Ear. Really had no need for a specialist that kept me waiting for four hours to spend 30 seconds looking inside my ears and going "well, looks good to me. so you've got...

Cool, and thanks. I just crossed the three-month mark with this, and it does seem to be getting worse and not better.

Thanks linearb. Did it resolve for you in time? Also notice if humming, same deal -- hear myself what sounds normally in my left ear, but the weird pressure sensation in my right. Really hope there's something to make this stop because I'm going literally crazy. It seems worse today than it's...

Figured I'd post again. I'm really not in a good place. I'm also not totally sure if this is a "fullness" sensation, but maybe it is. Whatever it is has become incredibly worse the past few days. All over the internet, I read of people talking about hearing their own voice like an echo, but...

Is there anything that proves this one way or another? I've slept with earplugs for 10 years (I live in NYC, and can't sleep when there's anything from construction to street noise to the sound of upstairs neighbors stomping around at 2am) and I came down with mild tinnitus four years ago and...

Thanks! I'm not sure, and I see TMJ mentioned on here a lot. I can make the right side of my jaw "click" from time to time (just did, in fact). I don't think I grind my teeth though, but I'm in all honesty, I haven't been the best patient when it's come to dental hygiene, and that's only been...

I posted a few months back that I came down with new tinnitus sounds in my right ear, after habituating / managing what must have been a more mild (and constant) high pitched tinnitus. Those sounds, like intermittent loud zapping, sort of like a dial-up modem connecting to the internet, sadly...

Go. Wear earplugs, but go. Live your life.

I find the costs of these devices beyond outrageous; practically gouging even. I remember ponying up $2k for wearable devices for TRT and was just disgusted at the reality of being presented with effectively tiny white noise headphones that really shouldn't cost more than a few dollars to make.

Being tired, stressed, did I mention being tired and stressed? I was told by a doctor (yeah, take it with a grain of salt) that being tired and stressed caused by recent spike. A lot of people have said that additional noise will do it, so I assume that's also true, but the overwhelming majority...

Hey everyone. I could really use a little support here. The new noise hasn't gone down (to my knowledge); and it's to the point where it's really just driving me insane. This is the first weekend where I didn't leave the apartment, and I'm really starting to dread getting up to go to work. I...

Look, as I mentioned, I'm going through a not so hot time myself; my tinnitus has been spiking really bad for the past six weeks (in one ear in particular) and it's been a very depressing time. I also know that I'll get over this in time because ultimately it's just an annoying noise, and...

I think you should live your life and be happy. If that means DJ'ing, do it. Take the necessary precautionary steps, but you'll ultimately be happier living than being upset about watching life pass you by. (needless to say, these are words I'm trying to convince myself to live by since a recent...

Have to admit that today has been a pretty bad day. I'm not sure if anyone else experiences this, but the killer right now is whenever I'm talking, there's an awkward sense of my right ear feeling plugged, like I can't hear myself as well in my right ear. This might be the "fullness" people talk...

Welp, no ear infection, but I'm being referred to an ENT. What was a little concerning is my blood pressure is pretty high. I'm in good shape, but I'm definitely not sleeping, super anxious, super stressed. Wonder if that can bring on a spike?

I decided, why not at least rule out an ear infection. I'm getting checked out tomorrow to see if the doc can find anything more going on. It's weird; was awful this morning, but it's been relatively calm the past few hours. Bleh.

Thanks guys. I think a trip to the ENT might be worthwhile, albeit last time I went down this road I just got lots of "sorry sir, not much we can do about it lulz" kinds of looks. This morning, it was particularly strange while in a meeting, something inside my right ear just kept feeling like...

Didn't think I'd be back on here since I thought I was finally over this junk, but here goes -- First came down with tinnitus out of the blue in 2011. I'll attribute it to a lifetime of playing music, going to shows (albeit with earplugs), and, well, the onset happened after two ear infections...
