I do not have TTTS but yes, the Hyperacusis is still present. I do hear much louder from my left ear. I lower the volume at my headset at the left side and I always have earplugs with me. And if I go to a bar or live concert I always put it on my left ear, cause otherwise it may be too loud in...

Yes, at the first 3-4 weeks I started to have a lot of anxiety and cry spells. I was close to depression. The first thing that helped me, was finding this forum. I talked with some people around here and saw they had managed to live a happy life despite this problem, and this gave me courage...

A loud sound effect (gunshot) at a theatrical play. The whole play was quite low on volume and suddenly from a speaker the gun shot came and it was very loud. Many people closed their ears the same time with me. But I guess I was already sensitive and the trauma was caused. My sister was with me...

Dear @Markku I do remember our talk that first day I joined the forum, and you cannot imagine how much it had helped me... The whole forum and you in particular... Feeling that there are people who understand and are there for you to chat is a great help! For me it was the first step to stop...

3 Years of Tinnitus Today is exactly 3 years from the day my tinnitus started... I saw the Facebook Anniversary post of a check-in at the theater I attended and where a loud sound effect (gun shot) caused me this issue... It reminded me that sometimes, a simple decision like going or not at a...

I only have one bedroom but I could go to the living room instead to sleep, but the sound is also noticeable there. Lower but still noticeable so it does not solve so much the problem :( I will ask them to turn it on a little earlier at the time I am still awake and I can listen to music or see...

Thank you both for your replies! @linearb : I will try to see if we can work on this with my neighbor, I hope I find someone willing to help and solve the issue, at least make it more manageble. I can also propose to use it before nighttime if possible when I can still have the tv on and cover...

Done! Most times, I feel like the real supporters are zero. Yeap, other family members know the issue, so you can say 1-2 supporters, and you may talk with them (maybe at the start only) and for the basics from time to time, but most times you may feel alone on this. :(

Hello! Just needed to share some of my newly developed issues with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis. I suffer from T for 1 + 1/2 year now, after a sound trauma. It is at quite low levels, so I listen to it during calm and silence hours. Lately, I realized I hear more from the same ear, so I have...

I hope it will help you and offer a slight relief! It is a quite difficult position, so you may need to make some extra stretching before to warm up a little bit and make it in a nice way without the danger to hurt the neck. I tried some others before that, so it may be the whole exercise cycle...

I just wanted to share this yoga posture that I recently found out: I have T for1 1/2 year now, it is quite low and I only listen to it during nighttime and silence moments. The last 2 months though it was a lot louder without any obvious reason. I tried this yoga exercise (I started with some...

Dear Rani, I hope your Tinnitus to gradually fade; it is still early and chances are with your side to completely disappear. Keep strong and be sure you are not alone. This forum has helped me and many others to accept this issue and try to stay positive. You are not alone and unsupported. Yes...

Exactly what I also understand.. whanever I pay attention or start to talk for my problem it is always louder :( when I have happy activities I don't hear it that much or simply I ignore it.. I see brain parts as muscles and the one we focus on it becomes stronger .. So we sould try to train...

I found this talk at TEDx today and found interesting the way that tinnitus is so much affected by feelings... You may have a look:

Exactly the same for me.. T is louder I think but it makes me feel somehow happier - and this counts too in life :) It is a spice and ha sorry several positive effects: https://www.greeksaffron.co.uk/health/

I also find it to be louder; I drink the milk at night and so after a while -when in bed like now, I hear it louder .. But it may be because I focus on it to see if it is quieter.. but it is not ... :(

I wish I had some answers :( I am also curious.. I tend to try things and I am afraid I may make it worse in the end ... (n) happy though you had at least these days of calm!

So far I can not see a decrease at T levels - to be honest I hear it louder as I tend to focus on it to see if it is quiter or louder and as you all know when you focus it is usually louder.. BUT this thing with saffron made me psychologically better and these days I feel happier.. So I feel...

Saffron is quite popular in Greek kitchen and Greece also produces it.. it is still expensive here but not that much.. And there are several teas or hot drinks with saffron already in the market - ready to be consumed in correct dosages- though there is not any ready pack with milk.. If this...

:thankyousign: Merry Christmas to all and many thanks for all the support and comfort this forum give us!

Wish you be better soon, my thoughts are with you!

Luckily I did not notice any spikes.. the flight was short and before boarding I used decongestant spray and I was also chewing a gum in order to keep air coming via my mouth and nose.. I chose seats at front also.. So I guess these worked and kept T at usual level.. Thank you so much for asking...

Oh it's so saaad to hear that it can indeed get worse :(

Mine gets worse lately I think, and I don't know why :/ I try to find what combinations made it worse but not sure.. I am afraid it will get worse and worse :( good luck to both of us to have it stabilized to a low level ..

Thank you all for the great advices at this thread; I have my first flight tomorrow - after T joined my life :) I am worried and thought to wear ear plugs; but I think the best way is to use a decongestant spray as I always suffer from blocked nose :( it is only 1h flight so fingers crossed T...

I am sorry to hear you still feel that bad :( I really wish the best for you and soon get relief and T be less noisy and disturbing.. I am sure that if you stay positive things will go better and enjoy your life no matter of this annoying problem we all face :(

I know it's been a while since your last post and I really hope you feel already better! I think almost all of us here had the same phase of depression.. With the same questions 'why to me?' 'how happened?' 'there is no cure ?!?!'.. My T was caused by the gun shot effects at a theatrical...

So sorry to hear you suffere that much.. :( I only suffer at nights at one ear only and at first I started to feel depressed too as I was feeling the rest (family friends) could not understand me anymore and feel my anxiety.. This forum helped me not to feel alone and saw many positive and...

Great initiative! Especially for those that experience it first time and search for details.. It's nice to have them all gathered in one forum.. I don't have much experience but will try to contribute :) many wishes for the new guide!!

Happy you are free now :)

I am happy to be part of this community now, I feel less alone, though I felt sad seeing so many people suffering from T, even more than me.. Thank you once again for your warm message, many wishes for health and overall happiness, Christina from Greece

I went to an otolaryngologist and he gave me steroids for 10days to see if the trauma will get better, but did not help.. What vitamins are better to take to ake it better? He didn't tell me anything for this. He told me to go in a month again to make a hearing test and see if my hearing is...

Dear Eduardo, thank you so much for your supporting messag! It means a lot,, I hope you current crisis to end soon and go back to normal :) I am trying to stay positive and ignore it. I am lucky to hear it only at silent rooms and at night; not during the day. The city noises cover it up..
