I wish I knew why the pitch changes. I’m sitting here at work and it gets louder and then it goes back to the usual range. Then it stops completely for seconds and then comes back to usual range. What’s weird is there are days that he pitch stays the same all day long and then there are days...

Thank you Bishop, love your positive attitude . The reality is most us here on this forum have at some point or another fine through the first initial reactions to the onset of T. The support we have for each other here is like no other. This success stories on this forum helped me...

Michael, True, I didn’t leave my home and didn’t want to leave my Home at onset. I wasn’t eating only drinking water. I lost 20lbs in two months, I seriously was making plans for my husband so he would be prepared to live without me because I seriously felt like I was going to die from the...

No I don’t take anything to sleep, I haven’t taken a Xanax in 2 years . I only took it in the beginning

Bishop, I can so relate to what the Dr said to you . I too heard those same words, it’s Tinnitus there is no cure you are going to have to learn to live with it. There was no compassion whatsoever. Glad you too are able to share positive words with others.

Bishop, Thanks for your post, Reading it makes me think of all the similiar thoughts I was having. I completing agree your attitude has lots to do with it, you are much stronger than I. There is no way I could have done it without being on Meds and my faith. I was definitely at my lowest...

Scared111, Thank you , My sleep now is normal I can sleep 8 hrs no problem, I’m the beginning I had no sleep it seems that all I could do was think about the Tinnitus. It was a viscous circle, I honestly felt more relaxed at night and I hated mornings. Mornings at the time meant I would have...

It’s been 2 years and 3 months since that terrible day that I lost my hearing suddenly in my left ear. Although I can relate to so many of these stories being posted I have to say I am in a better place. I am not going to lie and say it was easy because it was far from that but I do want to...

That was very sweet Madi, prayers for you as well. It sounds like you were raised with good morals and you have compassion for others too. Hugs to you .

Awesome pics ! Live in the moment -that's my motto , looks like you are doing the same .

Natalie, Great post, you know all the things you mentioned every bit of detail (except pregnancy and the Hypercusis) are all the things I went through and I find that all those things are common with people that develop T. I went to my ob/gyn last week and was telling her about my T abd she...

7 months to the day, and doing great ! I went through hell for 2 months i had a nervous breakdown but I finally said enough, accept and move on . So here I am I am happy and living my life I'm not consumed in my own world of misery. I have a son graduating high school and I'm excited that I am...

Thank you for sharing, all the things you've went through sound so familiar. I'm glad you are in a better place.

Absolutely ! Stress a s focusing on sound make it worse

I love reading of your comments, I guess I'm not alone. It's amazing how are experiences are similiar but different too. This T is really challenging because there are so many variations of what caused it. This forum is great and I can't agree more with @Boy Helios about staying off the...

@object16 i too had tinnitus from 2003 but oct 2015 suddenly got worse and much louder. I know it takes some time to habitate to sound and now there is a new sound. My advice is try not to panic the more stress the louder the tinnitus becomes. Get some rest if possible and let's hope that...

Thank you, well I will take any break in the sound as a good thing. I have pretty much habitated to it and for that reason when it does stop even for a few seconds it gets my attention. I do continue to pray that one day they will find a cure, no one understands it because it's not a physical...

I have had tinnitus since 10.18.15, it is constant for the most part. I have noticed in the last couple of months sometimes it stops suddenly for a few seconds and resumes. When it stops it's very noticable because my brain wonders what happened but it only last for a couple of seconds. On...

@Bryanpen this is the best place to share your feelings on what is going on. For the most part we have all been where you are, the fear, panic, anxiety and dark thoughts. I woke up on 10/18/15 completely dead in my left ear with vertigo and roaring T. Yes I had those feelings and ended up...

As crazy as it sounds the T changes pitch and sometimes it stops for seconds and when it does it immediately gets my attention it's like if it wasn't there I would think something was wrong bcause I'm used to the sound now.

@Grecks Listen I too had a tinnitus event in 2003 yes I went through all the anxiety, depression but guess what like you i habitated to it . But fast forward to Oct 2015. I woke up with vertigo with complete hearing loss and ringing and hissing so loud in my left ear I could hear the T over...

@Charron Well I promise very soon the good days will outnumber the bad, remember baby steps . I was so happy to see your update and you giving others hope. ️️Hugs from Texas , Take care

@Charron so happy to see this I thought the day would never come for you. I told you it will get better

@Fangen Thank you for your story I can relate to everthing you said. My T happened Oct 18, 2015 and like you a pre planned vac week at thanksgiving and prior to T I looked forward to time off but after T I was terrified as to what I would do for a week. I ended up going out of town to see my...

In 2003 I went to the cinema with my son it was an Action movie which was very loud. My ears were ringing I just thought it would go away but the next day I woke up and were still ringing. Long story short after many dr appts, test etc I was diagnosed with high frequency hearing loss. I...

Oh in no way is T a cool hip friend it's an unwelcome pest. Like most people I get tired of typing the word.

Hi @JasonP yes I have thought about it but the ENT suggested I wait at least a year before getting one. The reason is due to my SSHL my hearing can improve, so after a year we should know how much hearing I have regained and then try hearing aid then. I have regained quite a bit of my hearing...

@Charron that is wonderful news, it's baby steps. Your attitude plays a big role in overcoming this. Stay away from negative thoughts , wake up each day and fill your mind with "I'm not letting this beat me" And remember It's ok to have a bad day but very soon you will have more good than bad...

@SarahCuda did this vertigo accompany any hearing loss? Do you have the vertigo all the time or notice more when laying on side of ear that has T or laying Down on your back ?

No Jae no history of SSHL. Now what I did have a history of is in 2003 I went to the movies and woke up the next day with ringing in my left ear , after having hearing test was told it was some high frequency hearing loss which resulted in T but although at the time I could still hear okay...

Thank you Natalie I made a promise and asked God that if he could help me get out of the pit I was in i wanted to be a support system for those feeling hopeless. I ask anyone that is struggling to contact me either through this forum or my email at irenewhalen@hotmail.com and I want to give hope...

Charron, I have been there . Please read my post I just listed on the introduce yourself forum. I know everything your feeling, I too could not eat or sleep and I lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks. I am not suggesting you do this because your T may go away but I myself did get on anxiety meds and...

Hello my name is Irene Whalen, I am new member to this forum, I posted my story on wrong forum instead of here. I joined this site some time ago but really was hesitant to post until I was ready to give people hope, today is the day. On 10/17/15 I had a choking incident about 4 pm which...

@Lorac what I did not include in my original post is that in 2003 I went to a theater and ended up with what at the time I thought was very loud T in the same left ear from slight high frequency hearing loss. That episode I went thru the depression, anxiety and although I still had most of my...

I joined this site some time ago but really was hesitant to post until I was ready to give people hope, today is the day. On 10/17/15 I had a choking incident about 4 pm which required my husband to do the Heimlich maneuver or however you spell it. Two hours later I was speaking to my mom...
