    Everything Is Much Louder Now

    I have had Tinnitus for a couple months now, and now things that didn't use to sound loud, sound really loud. People talking, the subway, it kind of "hurts" now in a way.... Like I still have the ringing but also things just seem really loud. Does anyone else have this feeling? What do you suggest?

    Is Tinnitus Killing My Career? Suggestions...?

    Guys I am having trouble being motivated. For school I have to do tons of Mixing which requires head phones, but when I do the T is louder even if I mix at a low volume.... so I don't want to do my homework, listen to music or talk to any of my friends. How is music supposed to be my career if...

    Opinion: In-Ear Monitor vs. Ear Plug/Prices?

    Hey Guys! So my school is doing a discount where people are coming to make custom mold ear plugs: "The regular price of Earplugs is 175€ (£135) but you will receive 15% discount making them 148.75€ (£114.75). This will be taken in £ sterling so my change marginally depending on exchange rates...

    Need Advice, Have a Cold

    I don't know, I have the flu now too and it has made my ringing worse. I think we will be fine once we get better tho, I would see no reason why it would stay loud after the flu. Drink lots of OJ sandra and I hope you get better soon!!! :)

    I Just Want to Lie on My Side

    Idk if my Tinitus is making me depressed, so my body is just giving up? But I am so sick. Now it is 5:30am. I know it is not my body's fault, but I can't help just being really mad at it. Why is it doing this to me....?

    I Just Want to Lie on My Side

    Also guys I am sick, my T is loud and I can't sleep it is 4am here. Uh I have class tomorrow.... maybe I will not go? But I don't want to fall behind. WHY I GET T AND SICK DURING THE LAST SEMESTER OF GRAD SCHOOL WHY. I think maybe it is a funny joke from the Tinitus Gods?

    Door Slammed Next to Me — Can It Cause Permanent Damage?

    @valeri I've only had T for a month so I am not sure, but from what I read it is a temporary spike and it will go down again. Sometimes when I am mixing for a while I take my headphones off and it is louder, then in a couple days it is softer again. <3 <3 <3

    Thanks for all of your comments guys :) @Carlos yes I am absolutely taking more precautions to protect my ears. I use to only wear ear plugs when I played music or went to parties, but now I keep some in my wallet and all of my bags so I am ready for where ever I may go. It is tricky because I...

    I Can't Sleep, Just Cry — 3:30am

    Thank you for all of the help @Vincent777 ! Today I went back to the Dr. to get my MRI results. She said everything is good and gave me a hearing test and said I have not lost any hearing so she gave me "Audiovit" pills to take for a month. She said they help regulate the blood flow to my ears...

    Music Composition for Masking Tinnitus?

    Bahahahaha! That is true haha. But no I was thinking along the line of creating like relaxing music that has the same frequencies as Ts so it masks them. Like making music to fall asleep to.

    Earwax Confusion, Can Anybody Help Me?

    @Kay86 Hey now, hey now please relax. Have you tried talking to your family? I know how it feels to just want to distance yourself from everyone.

    I Can't Sleep, Just Cry — 3:30am

    Man MRI's are weird. They are just so loud like jesus. It was super weird. Like a muted jack hammer. Anyway I should get the results next week. I'm sure he will just say tough luck. It is weird tho that I could hear all of the frequencies in the test. Because I thought Tinnitus was your brain...

    I Can't Sleep, Just Cry — 3:30am

    Yeah that is true. It is actually "Ms. Anxious person" but thank you lol Yes I took the hearing test where they beep all the frequencies at you and the Dr. said everything is normal I could hear them all. So I have an MRI tomorrow. Man I just want some quiet. Some silence again would be fun.

    I Can't Sleep, Just Cry — 3:30am

    Thanks Cristian, I did that massage and slept a little better. I went to the Dr. again and he did a test and said my hearing is normal, scheduled me for an MRI Thursday. But to be honest I think I'm just gonna give up and accept that it will never go away. It's funny, I spent all this time...

    Yeah Christian I feel yeah, it's woken me up every night since it started.

    I Can't Sleep, Just Cry — 3:30am

    Thanks for all of the info guys. Yes I realize it is probably not good to rely on drugs to fall asleep, but right now I would take anything I am so desperate for some relief. I am in Spain now so maybe I will go to a pharmacist and see if they have something because I cannot wait until I see the...

    I Can't Sleep, Just Cry — 3:30am

    Thanks for all of your posts you guys. Yes I think when I see the Dr. next week I will ask him about medication for sleeping/anxiety. Hopefully it will get quieter or go away.... I just want to sleep. Why do our brains do this... you would think the body would be smart enough to just let us lose...

    I Can't Sleep, Just Cry — 3:30am

    Well I know my ears have only been ringing for a week, but I am just a crazy mess right now. I am already a super anxious person and have insomnia, so this is just the icing on the cake. It's 3am here so I'm just thinking that typing about it might exhausted me enough to get back to sleep...
