Hello, I suffer the same ( sensitivity to noises but all day ). It is related to anxiety and extreme alert of our senses. My psychologist advised me to relax, unplugged my mind, exercise daily, stop stimulants and practice mindfulness. But it is not easy to manage, at least, in my case. I have...

Hello Tobii, how are you doing? Feeling better? Hope you are. In your case, the psychotic episode was due to PTSD or Bipolarity?

PeteJ, hang in there. You need to treat your underlying condition (depression, anxiety). I was in the same boat as you a couple of years ago. I received treatment from a good psychiatrist, he prescribed me Fluoxetine 20 mg. That improved my anxiety, sleep and mood, so I could cope better with...

@Mikejl46 and @seppl, hello there. I believe your problem (like mine) is related to anxiety and obsessive behaviour, and we tend to confuse our discomfort with tinnitus, we blame it for underlying issues. As I wrote before, yesterday I had a pretty heavy day... I was in panic most of the time...

Hi @Nics2drescue and @Adamwynn, How are you doing? I am in the same boat here. Have had tinnitus since 2013, sometimes it bothers me more (when anxious, stressed and start performing obsessive actions, like covering my ears, etc). Tinnitus is not the problem, but the underlying mood and...

@NatureHiker, how are you doing?

Hello linearb, have you read it? Does it helps with anxiety, tinnitus, etc? I am planning to buy it, just wanted to know your opinion. Thank you very much!

I respect your opinion and preference Lane, and when I say. "Ask the doctors..." it is because meds must be prescribed and supervised by a doctor. And I believe that a period of anxiety, obsessiveness and depression out of control, may lead to much more dangerous actions (like alcoholism...

I am in the same boat here. Hang in there, we will get through this. If you are going through hell... keep going. Ask the doctors for some meds that will help (anti-anxiety, antidepressants, or whatever they would recommend you to take). Best regards!

Thank you very much, Jason!

I have the same exact same problem, right now. I have had tinnitus since 2013. First it began on my left ear, very mild. Time went by, and I got another tinnitus sound on my right ear, like a hissing, mild too. Nowadays I feel like I have completely unhabituated. I was on Fluoxetine 20 mg for...

I know what you mean and I am sorry you are going through this. God bless you, mate! You will be better soon.

I am not afraid of suicide. I would feel frightened if there where no other option than suffering, suffering and suffering. In some cases, death is a way out. I respect the ones who coud not take it anymoer and took the decision based on finishing their own phisically existence. I do respect...

Hello dear partners, hope you are doing fine! I woke up today with this rare tone in my ear. More than a year ago I had it for a couple of weeks, but it faded away within days, after I started taking Fluoxetine 20mg prescribed by my psych. Now it is back. It sounds like the old dial up...

Hi there, yes... I have some form of PTSD when hearing loud or strange noises. For example, If I hear a vaccum cleaner or a high pressure washer from a neighbour, the acute sound of it would cause me anxiety and start covering my ears to see if the sound comes from the outside, or it is a new...

I suffer from T related to anxiety and stress.

San Juan - Argentina

Hello Michelle, sorry about that. What AD and anxiety-meds do you take? Some of them can be ototoxic God bless you!

This happens to me very often. My brain copy external sounds and play it over and over again. Like car alarms, or monotnous sounds. Sometimes, it is quite annoying. It seems so real that every time it happens, i doubt if the sounds is real or no. So i tap my fingers and notice that it is not...

I am sorry to hear that you are going through this. I have T since a few years and unfortunately, new noises keep popping. I have the " Hospital room" too. You are going to be just fine! God bless you

I am so glad that you are doing ok. You are a truly warrior. God bless you, it is a very nice story. I agree, in many cases like mine, worst than my T is my GAD. Thanks to a psych, who prescribed me fluoxetine, i am feeling much better, and resting properly.

Hello, i have serious anxiety issues too. I am on fluoxetine 20 mg every day, doing therapy, walking every day. I have good and bad days too. Moderation on alcohol/caffeine/cigars/beverages is a good thing to do. I will share with you a link of a ten hours relaxation song that helps me to...

Hello Andersson, i am sorry to hear that you are going through a relapse. I have anxiety issues also, they make T a very hard thing to deal with. I have tendencies to obsses with noises, tap my ears constantly, look for sounds, replie them in my mind - sort of speak -. I am on fluoxetine, 20 mg...

Exactly. I know what you mean. But this weird thing happens to me very often. It is a mix between OCD, GAD, MES, HALLU.... hahaha I am falling to pieces

Hello Dear people! Well I hear these repetitive sounds (part of melodies, sirens, particular noises, etc) in particular environments. For example, while driving, I hear this hummm noise playing over and over. I think it is a patron as a result of the sound from the tires, wind, engine, road...

I also hear phantom sounds. It is due to anxiety and obssessions. Our nervous system is on alert. I hear a couple of noises that plays over and aver in my mind. If i tap my fingers i do not listen to them. It is quite strange and sometimes, very annoying

Hello Natalie, god bless you!! You are so strong!! I admire you. How are you doing?

Hello friends!! I get the same hahaha It is quite annoying. It is an obssessive thought represented as this repetitive sound. When my anxiety rises or focusing on it, the sound plays over and over again. Since month i am experiencing this. My dr says that it is related to anxiety and obssession...

In my opinion, it is pretty easy to say " Live, enjoy, laugh, run, fly... and other things related... Or, do not feel pitty or anxious, or whatever... live in the present... enjoy the sun... But when you are suffering, scared, anxious... things are much harder. If ones brain is not working...

Yes i am sleeping better Florida. between 7 and 8 hours a day. Before i had fluoxetine, i was taking sertraline. The good thing about sertraline was that i could stay in a very calm state, but had stomach issues and other secondary effects. So, my dr changed it for fluoxetine. I do grind teeth...

Hello Florida, it did not. Fluoxetine is listed as non-ototoxic in the spanish forum www.acufenos.org. On the contrary i started taking it because another T in my right ear ( healthy one ) came out of nowhere. So i felt pretty anxious, devastated and scared. But the T itself did not was my worse...

Dexibuprofen is not ototoxic and it is quite good for pain. Powerful than paracetamol, and milder for your liver. God bless you

I admire you glynis. God bless you!!!

I am sorry to hear that you are going through this situation. Give it a little time and you will be much better. At the beginning, i felt the same. I was devastated, sad, anxious and hopeless. A huge hug for you! God bless you!

Hello boys and girls!! I am an obsessive person since always and very anxious too, i have GAD. I constantly do the same. While sitting in my car, block my ears to see how my T are, level, tone and look for any change. That behaviour is harmful, beacuse feeds our obsessiveness and anxiety. At...

Mild, moderate or severe.... Does not matter. We have to support everyone who needs it. " Modern science has not yet produced a calming medicine as effective as a few kind words " - Sigmund Freud God bless you all!!!

Hi Tom, I notice we have the same medicine! HAHAHAHA Every night, I have 2 glasses of excellent argentinian red wine, and then for dessert, a shot of scocht with two ices and a couple of cigars. My T vanishes and my mind gets chill. It is a lovely state. Not drunk, but relaxed.

Having a glass or two of red wine daily, is not harmful at all. On the contrary, it is good for heart, blood, depression, colesterol and triglicerids. Measure is the key. After having a couple of drinks without being drunk of course, i feel much better, my brains chills and my T vanish. It...

Excess of everything is harmful. Even water.

Hello buddies! Alcohol helps me a lot. I have a glass or two of red wine every night while cooking and having dinner. I smoke tobbaco too. Four cigarrettes. Play some relaxing music or natural sounds at low volume. An for dessert, i gave my self a little shof ot scotch whiskey with two ices...

I am on fluoxetine 20 mg every morning since october. It has helped a lot. I feel better and less anxious. I have OCD ( Pure ) and GAD. I am sleeping better, feeling better and doing exercise very day. My pschyatrist adviced me to take fluoxetine and that it won´t worsen my T. I was suffering...

I can live with it for the rest of my life and not hearing silence anymore, the only thing i wish and i pray for, is that my T does not get worse. God bless you all! My best wishes for you

Many people become skpetical of everything. Accupunture, homepathic, meditation, therapy, hope and finally... of their own strength. Not just skeptical, but rude and impolite too. For them, T has alredy won the battle.

Hello Sara! How are you doing? I habe veen where you are. I have good and bad days. Your worse enemy right now is anxiety, that is why you get obsessed with noises, i am sure you are imaging-creating some of them. When i have bad days, and i am stressed, noises keep coming into my head...

Dear Michael, thank you very much for the info. I didn´t know that running was harmful. How are you doing? Coping with your T? God bless you!

Hello Beste, how are you doing? The same thing happened to me last night. I have a new T in my right ear. It sucks. There is no peace!

Hello everybody, last night I had a couple of beers in a pub. According to my soundmeter, 76 db for an hour and a half. I went back home and noticed this new T in my right ear, if I block my ears or in a quiet room I can hear it. In my left ear I have one too, it appeared 4 years ago. I...

Hello friends! Well... the issue is that i have had tinnitus for about four years now, and since a couple of months ago, i noticed that like 5 or 6 times a day my T spikes for 30 seconds, and then get back to normal intensity. Does anyone knows the reason ? Does it means that my T is worsening...

Andersson, how are you doing?

I have an issue about imaging sounds ( any kind of sound ). If I take a walk around the city, and hear an alarm, after many blocks whan i´m sure i shouldn´t listen it, it rings in my mind ( not loud of course ). That is an example of hundreds hahaha... It is a mix of anxiety, obsessiveness...

Hello Jasonp, my appointment with the doctor is this week. I will keep you informed with what happens. I took fish oil pills for months, but i did not experienced any result. I was hoppeful that omega 3 would have had a positive effect, sadly it didn't. I know things will change for good. I...

Thank you very much MrBonk, for sahring your experience with me. I totally agree with you. I have to learn how to deal with GAD. Days ago, i started with pain on my jaw in both sides. Right now, i am so concerned about it, that i completely forgot my Tinnitus... I am Hypochondriac too...

JasonP, thank you very much for your comment. I will never loose hope. Time and the help from a good doctor, will fade this behaviour away. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist. I keep you informed. It is sad that you had suffered, but it is good to know that i am not crazy or alone. Human...
