I found my old records and it was actually 1978 when I was in the explosion. I never really thought about it since then. My T has been pretty stable and as I mentioned, I think that "spikes" are when we re-focus on the T. I was 16 when it happened. To be honest, I think my brains got a pretty...

40+ years here. Two tones, 12.6 and 14Khz in both ears. Product of an explosion in 1978 that left me deaf for 3 days. I look at it this way.... I got back what I got back and it is what it is. Learning to hear "around the sound" was key for me. There isn't a moment the T is not there regardless...

I've had that same ability since I can remember. It doesn't affect my T though. It does come in handy when searching for specific sounds in the machinery at work. I could hear the sound of a bearing going bad in a conveyor system that nobody else could. They all thought I was crazy until I...

I have to agree with Glynis. I carry the cheap disposable foam plugs for high volume situations and always use hard shell protectors for lawn work or anywhere I expect excessive noise. You can download an app on your phone to provide you with a decible reading. Around 85 and above, you'll see...

You guys may have just hit on something. I work as an Engineering Technician for a company that builds high volume Rx dispensing equipment. A major part of what I do is assessing failed dispensers, testing new designs, ect.. Oddly enough, we see a lot of Amlodipine, Lisinopril, Atenolol, and a...

Background noise seems to make mine worse. A day spent in the lab at work with equipment running is about 70-75Db, but on leaving the lab it seems to be worse even though I'm in a similarly noisy area. Maybe its the change in the frequency mix of the noise? A mix of cooling fans, air...

While setting up a test stand at work the other day, I leaned over the top of a computer monitor to to access the cables on the back of the computer the monitor was on. As I leaned over and looked down, the two-tone tinnitus I've had for 30ish years went silent. Completely silent. I'm hoping...

I believe the premise of these is that they use two microphones, one on the ear buds and one on your smartphone. A sound "heard" on your smartphone can be selectively identified with the processor and electronically cancelled through the earphones. The microphone on the buds is for...

Mine does keep me awake and my "sleep" is more like passing out from exhaustion. If I'm lucky I get maybe 5 hours but usually it's only 3 or 4 hours of broken sleep. I'm intrugued by this whole concept because I don't usually dream (or remember anyway) so my life is full on T.

@AnxiousJon - BP and tinnitus have coexisted for years.... Ever since I blew up a cannon I had my arms around. Without a doubt, the loudest sound that ever came from my parents yard and I was essentially deaf for a few days, but hearing came back with the new addition of a 16K solid, consistent...

BP is typically a little on the low side. I donate blood regularly and I'm usually 110/70 @70ish depending on the time I had to rest before getting taken to the screening area.

..and I have Tinnitus. I've been lurking here a bit for a while and scouring the internet for a plausible treatment for my T. Mine was a result of a very large explosion I was literally in at around age 19, and I've dealt with ringing ever since. 25+ years later I'm either getting more sensitive...

- What?

Just make it stop
