    Wow, do you mean the scalene muscle in the neck? I was checking some applications for neck muscles and started to massage the scalene muscle. The next day my 'airplane' tinnitus was gone. I have 3 tones and the biggest was gone.

    My Tinnitus Is Unbearable and Getting Worse

    I also can't mask my tinnitus (3 different tones). I use magnesium and 1 mg melatonin to sleep better. Besides that I have to accept it's there and that it's not a treat. Anxiety will increase tinnitus, but I can't say if that's the case with you. Also i'm experiencing better days with a diet...

    19-Year-Old, Recently Got Tinnitus. What Can I Take Early on to Help?

    Same here. All of my friends don't have tinnitus, only me (I do had tinnitus since I was 12, but that was so low). Some experience tinnitus the next day, but it disappears after a day or 2. Better avoid loud places and music. Give your ears rest. Reduce stress and eat healthy too. And yes try to...

    Stopped Eating Sugar, Dairy, Bread

    Hello Jkph75, Yeah your tinnitus sounds very similar, are you hearing the plane sound only in silent rooms or do you hear it all the time? Mine is only noticeable when there is not much background sound. BTW I don't mind if you read my other posts :) No not yet. But tomorrow I'm going to do a...

    Stopped Eating Sugar, Dairy, Bread

    I hope it's not sound related, but I have been going to clubs for 10 years. Every Friday and Saturday. After a night out my tinnitus would increase by 200% for a few hours and then it decreases. I also got a small dip in high tones. I tested this at the hospital. So I think it's also sound...

    Thanks for your suggestion. I'll remove salt from my diet and i'll let you know what happens. Removing salt was also on my bucket list. Not for tinnitus, but for overal health.

    Stopped Eating Sugar, Dairy, Bread

    I understand, it's horrible. My tinnitus is sometimes at max volume (10/10). I'm used to the spikes now. Now i'm back from work and I checked if my air plane tinnitus was still at 40%, but it's back at 100%. It was a weird experience. For the first time my head was not vibrating and the sound...

    Stopped Eating Sugar, Dairy, Bread

    Hey LoneRanger. I don't know the cause. I always had T since I was 12 and I never experienced loud music at that age. Years later I went to allot of bars, clubs and festivals. I'm thinking sound induced, but i'm also thinking it's related to inflammation. As a kid I always had ear problems.

    Stopped Eating Sugar, Dairy, Bread

    A week ago I stopped eating sugar, all dairy products, bread and white rice. I chose to remove sugar/bread/white rice from my diet, because I have a candida overgrowth problem and I want to lose weight. I stopped eating dairy products, because I have chronic urticaria (as a kid I had milk...

    Life is just messing with us. We are playing on hard mode. I also have what you describe (VS, contrast sensitivity).

    Symptoms of Meniere's Disease?

    I went to the doctor an hour ago and he was checking my eyes and my coordination. Coordination is fine, but my eyes aren't working together properly. He also gave me Betathistine for the vertigo. I have to go tomorrow to the my own doctor and let him check it out.

    Symptoms of Meniere's Disease?

    I don't want to be hypochondriac, but last week I was extremely dizzy. I was so tired and my whole world was spinning. It was hard for me to hold a conversation with someone else in the room, I just wanted to sleep. After 4 hours I could function again. A day or two later I removed some earwax...

    How Does One Cope w/out Support from Their Spouse or Loved Ones? Struggling Badly

My mother and sister both forget sometimes I got tinnitus whenever I bring this subject on topic. The only one that understands...

    Tinnitus That Changes 5 Times a Day

    What you are explaining about the left side supporting the right side, I have seen that with shoulder injuries allot. If someone has a weak right shoulder, the left will compensate for it in an exercise. So when the right shoulder is healed, the left shoulder starts hurting. I have seen this a...

    My tinnitus is high + static, but when I use it between 2500 hz and 8000 hz, the high pitch will disappear. What is left is the static sound, also loud, but much bearable and it does not hurt(that high pitch hurts). It always returns to its baseline. Anyone has similar experiences?

    You have many questions and I can't answer them. But from reading your story, I can hopefully give you some peace of mind. As stated in your two comments, your tinnitus comes and goes. Plus you are in the early stages. From lurking on this forum I learned that tinnitus that fluctuates or...

    If an Individual Has Tinnitus Does That Mean They Can't Get a Proper Sleep Anymore?

    If you're bothered by your tinnitus, yes your sleep is going to be affected. If you're less bothered by your tinnitus, your sleep will be less affected. So I presume the answer is no, having tinnitus does not mean you can't get a proper sleep anymore. I have bad nights and good nights of...

    Why Does Alcohol Make Tinnitus 5-10x Louder?

    The thing is they say it's chronic after six months. But what's chronic and is there any research around chronic tinnitus that shows evidence it's really chronic? I have zero knowledge about that topic and have a feeling thst science still can't prove 100% where that sound is coming from. Only a...

    Why Does Alcohol Make Tinnitus 5-10x Louder?

    I never thought like that. In the test I was focusing on beeps that were different than my tinnitus and so I could score really high. I had a very small dip at high frequency. I could have missed the beep due to the high pitched noise in my head. And if the tinnitus was gone, maybe I could hear...

    Why Does Alcohol Make Tinnitus 5-10x Louder?

    They also tested my hearing, and I had a bit of damage in the higher frequencies. I think around 7000/8000 hz. At what frequency did they measure your damage?

    Why Does Alcohol Make Tinnitus 5-10x Louder?

    Yes, I think it's mostly ear damage. I just have vague experiences that tells me it's not really ear damage. When I have a bad neck posture in bed, my tinnitus can go from 8/10 to a 10/10. Then for me it's so bad, I just want to cry, but the tears are not coming because I'm in a constant...

    Why Does Alcohol Make Tinnitus 5-10x Louder?

    Well, last time I checked it was bit a higher than normal, but the doctors said it was possible due to the panic attack that I was experiencing. In the past I had another check and they said I was pretty healthy. So I cannot give you a number, but I presume I had no bad values. I'm not sure...

    Why Does Alcohol Make Tinnitus 5-10x Louder?

    Well if I could do the sugar withdrawal for two weeks, yes then my addiction is lesser and it's easier to say no to sugary food. The thing is I can only do that for 3-4 days. Quitting cigarettes(9 years, 1,5 pack a day) and quitting Weed/Hasj was a more comfortable experience for me. My...

    Why Does Alcohol Make Tinnitus 5-10x Louder?

    Well you could try it again and monitor your tinnitus? I presume the damage to the ear or the tinnitus is not always related to exposure of loud sound, but maybe has other related factors like neck injury/stress/anxiety/depression etc. BTW I'm not that good at diets, I think i'm too addicted to...
