Hey, I've had something I think is caused by the same thing - it's an extremely weird feeling that I'm leaning to the right all the time (mostly it's when I'm walking) it's totally bizarre. I can walk in a straight line and I'm not falling over or even actually leaning when I walk but I have...

Have you tried moving your ear closer to the sound? hehehe sorry just kidding. Google it.

Fella have you seen this: Imagine that. Honestly I get what you're saying, it's incredibly frustrating to go from being perfectly healthy to suddenly getting a condition that totally f#cks up yur way of life. I'm suffering from 4 of them at the same time. Imagine having Tinnitus, random...

Oh yeah it's so annoying isn't it when people are just complaining about things which are absolutely nothing. The couple in the room below me were arguing a few days ago and she walked out on him (quite rightly in my opinion ;) and he was all oh this is soooo bad, my whole life is over. It...

Hey man, just seen this thread, probably way too old by now but you should be okay if you wear a good pair of noise cancelling headsets I think :)

Hey, You can get some reasonably cheap these days, David Clarke do some good ones. I'm not sure about oil filled but mine have gel filled pads and are quite comfortable for wearing for quite a long time. I just find that the white noise they generate when turned on is quite a good masker. Hope...

Hey Jon, sorry man didn't mean to be cruel, I'm just going through so many things right now as well as T that I'm being a lot less understanding than I would normally be. When I hear people complaining about somebody cutting them up in traffic or something I just want to say, do you have a...

I'm sorry, I really don't mean to be cruel - I wish you the best man I really do. You just need to recognize though that honestly if that's all you've got then you should consider yourself lucky. It might help if you think of it that way.

Bud I'm not trying to be cruel when I say this, but from last December when I was completely fine I am now battling pain hypersensitivity - pain like you wouldn't believe, some kind of weird problem I've now got moving my arms and legs properly after I took a Tylenol (paracetamol) of all things...

Well I was just about to come on here and say it's been really quiet the last 2 days, and I think that's because I stopped drinking coffee, but then for no reason a couple of hours ago it went back up again. What a weird thing it is. Even if it didn't help with a cure I would love to know just...

"Because severe tinnitus is very rare and only likely to occur in those who are already psychologically imbalanced, the issue of compensation is a questionable one, argues DR SYLVESTER FERNANDES." Oh man that is frickin hillarious. I've always thought I'd never wish T on anyone, but this guy...

Sometimes a single face palm just isn't enough! In my experience it certainly does help to try to stay calm, it gets noticeably worse if you get worked up. I think it's all related to the Central Nervous System somehow. I don't think you're only hearing it because of your emotions though. I...

Hi all, Just a tip that might help somebody. I have a set of aviation headsets that have noise cancelling built into them. Unfortunately these only cancel out noise coming from outside the ear, not inside - if I manage to invent a pair that do that rest assured I shall give them away for a...

Anybody else find that their T will suddenly go from being irritating but kind of bareable to suddenly increase in volume and pitch for no reason at all during the day. It's not that I suddenly started paying more attention to it, it just suddenly increased in volume. It just suddenly increases...

It could well go away completely. I got it back in January from using just standard run of the mill painkillers at the suggested intervals for about 4 days. It took about a month or so but it went to the point were it was so quiet I had to try to listen for it. Then just over a week a go I was...

Hey, That probably is a good sign. I woke up this morning and it was quite quiet. Then just a few minutes ago I kinda got frustrated at some pain I'm having in my thumb, like thinking to myself 'oh come on give me a break'!, and instantly the Tinnitus got louder. Bizzare I know! So maybe the...

Ah man, I feel your frustration! My tinnitus had pretty much gone away after a couple of months. (It was caused by taking a few ibuprofen, aspirin - and I now know paracetamol tablets). I had abit of pain last week and somebody persuaded me to try a paracetamol tablet. I thought it was just the...

Hi Linearb, Thanks I really hope you're right, I can't tell you how much I've been suffering these last few months. I've gone from being a quite fit super normal guy to suffering from a collection of the most bizarre things its possible to imagine. All I've done is taken a few painkillers and...

Hi, This is very interesting. My Tinnitus had basically subsided to the point were it was barely audible at all, then last night I had one Paracetamol / Tylenol tablet. My Tinnitus has now gone way back up to the point where it is really debilitating again. The reason I had the Paracetamol is...

Hi Ed, I'm absolutely sure it was the Paracetamol unfortunately, the Tinnitus has been so quiet for about 2 months that I could basically only hear it in a quiet room if I really tried to. I took one paracetamol / Tylenol tablet and within 10 minutes the volume and pitch increased to the point...

Hi bill, Thanks, I really hope you're right. It was basically completely gone and now I can here it squealing away again in the background. Sheesh I'd forgotten just how irrititating and debilitating it is. I actually heard the thing increase in volume about 10 minutes after I'd taken the...

Dang, my tinnitus had lowered to the point where I could hardly hear it at all, then I took one Paracetamol Tablet yesterday and now it's come back again! Has anybody had this? Please tell me it goes away again!

Yeah I also had this after I had a CT scan a while back, every time I would fall asleep there would be an electric shock type thing and I would wake up straight away. Only happened on the first night though. Don't know if you've had a CT scan and it's related.

Hey, I don't know if there really is all that much radiation from a brain scan. I talked to the guy operating the machine about it before hand, and he showed me a chart showing that a brain scan is only a maximum of 5 times the radiation from a normal x-ray. I think the big radiation comes from...

Hey Glynis, Good on you for not letting it stop you from what you want to do :)

Hey, Thanks for your replies! It's a tricky one isn't it whether to just try to ignore it and push on with what you want to do, or whether to make concessions for it and let it effect your life even more than it already does. I guess realistically as long as your working environment is below...

Hey, So I did the CT scan on Thursday. The good news is that it's really quite, just a few bleeps and that's it. The bad news is that it's kind of left me feeling really whacked out, sort of like the feeling you get when you've maybe had a couple of night nurse and you wake up the next morning...

Hi Bobby B, I used to work around aircraft. It can be quite noisy unfortunately when aircraft are taxying past, or just in general. I could wear earplugs / ear defenders but I couldn't really wear them all the time and the chances of accidently being subjected to quite high noise levels are...

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a tricky situation now were I was in-between jobs when I got this Tinnitus and the job that I used to do can be quite a noisy environment. So the problem I've got now is I'm having to face the reality of trying to find somewhere quite to work / or maybe something...

Hey Kerryt, I know exactly where you're coming from! You're not alone in having lots of different noises going on at the same time. It makes it even more difficult to try to habituate yourself doesn't it because the goal posts keep moving and just when you think you're getting a grip of it...

Wow yeah that does look kinda freaky. With the cover on it looks so much more friendly! Do you have any idea how long a CT scan takes? It sounds reasonably quiet but I wouldn't want to be in it for more than a few minutes!

Hi, Thanks for that. I'll take some earplugs with me. I've been wondering whether to do it or not as I doubt a CT scan would be able to show if there was any different/increased neural activity in the part of the brain that causes T. I guess I'll do it though just to rule anything else out...

Hey all, I'm going for a CT Scan tomorrow. I'm sure this T I've got has been caused by my nervous system being totally out of sync for the last month. Was just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible for whatever is causing this (increased neuron activity or whatever it is) to show up on...

Hi billie, Thanks for the information, it's really appreciated! I was also wondering if you know if there is a support group of people who meet up to help each other with this? I'm not sure that such a thing exists? Thanks Phil

Hi Bryan, Ha no problem I totally understand, believe me I know it's good to know that there are other people who have gone through / are going through this condition, it makes you feel not so alone. I think that's something that makes this thing even worse is that other people can't see the...

Hey ampumpkin, I've noticed you live in Montreal, I'm soon going to be moving to Montreal or Vancouver and was wondering if there's any groups in Montreal (english speaking) that meet up to help each other with this problem? I've had it for about 2 weeks now and it would be great to meet up...

Hi Bryan, Just read your story and wanted to say I fully understand what you're going through. I have had this thing in my head now for about 2 weeks and it's extremely difficult to cope with when it's a 24/7 thing and the noise is so horrible. The noise that I'm hearing most of the time is in...

Hi all, I've decided I really need to write something here because I've been trying to deal with this by myself and it's getting me nowhere. So what happened to me: It's a bit of a long story and even as I write it it sounds absolutely bizarre! I'll shorten it down as best I can - Nearly a...
