My tinnitus is constantly worsened by vibrations, driving, walking, anything that makes my inner ear vibrate, I don't understand how but hopefully this can help me too.

God, I'd hate a desk job but I have not got much choice, tinnitus has truly robbed me my life.

It seems that whatever job I take, after time my tinnitus is made worse by what I do, I drive at the moment and have been putting up with the progressively worsening tinnitus in one ear caused by the vibrations and a new hum has started in my other ear and is getting worse after every shift...

Apparently aspartic acid and phenylalanine are ingredients of an artificial sweetener called aspartame (these two ingredients are in mutant mass). Then I read this and similar finds.... "Of the artificial sweeteners, Aspartame is among the worst. It damages insulin sensitivity more than...

Thank you for your help guys, I have posted a link to the ingredients in my original post which I can see so not sure why some are asking me about ingredients lol, it says Mutant Mass in the picture too. I will stop drinking it for a few days and see what happens.

I started drinking protein shakes and they contain a lot of amino acids, my tinnitus started ringing more after drinking it but it might be a coincidence as my tinnitus goes from bad to worse to bad weekly. I take 2 scoops in one drink daily.

Survival and just existing.

My right ear is very sensitive to vibration, if I wear earplugs and walk I can hear my tinnitus vibrating in my ear with every step... the tinnitus shudders every time my heel hits the floor. I drive for a job and on top of my usual high pitched tinnitus another lower frequency tone has...

I really want to do this but it jsut looks like stress trying to figure out how to do it. Shame.

I found one link to a forum where somebody bought Ultimate HGH supplement which obviously is a supplement and not the real thing but he says it helped reduce his tinnitus by a third.

I have been drinking a new protein drink for the past week which includes a long list of amino acids and including 3 branch chained amino acids which apparently can mess with the neurotransmitters in the brain I have read. I am quick to blame it on the vibrations from work as that's what causes...

I hope this is the case but this is the first time ever in my left ear so it's worrying, I hope it is temporary.

My right ear is always the bad ear that gets worse, always hearing the tinnitus in the right side of the head too but the other night a new lower tone in my left ear started up. It went away mostly after a night's sleep but after work the day after it came back and after sleeping it's still...

I used to get spikes in the form of an extremely high frequency hiss over everything when I took antihistamines in the past, the same spike I would get from stress or when I took citalopram, I use antihistamine cream now but luckily I dont have the skin issue as bad as I did before.

I hope it does, each days getting more difficult, thank you for your response I found it helped.

Three weeks ago I took just one co-codamol tablet and I woke with really loud hissing and a major increase in my baseline tinnitus noise including a louder ring at a slightly lower frequency than the usual higher frequency, it's still there now. Sometimes it fades but not very often. I hate my...

My tinnitus was nearly always effected negatively by antidepressants, even Valium makes it worse, melatonin has either at least no effect or tones down some spikes, it definately makes me sleep easier and I have visual dreams every night on it which is cool :)

Just start to sit more up right with your head and neck in the propper position, don't slouch. I have bad forward neck posture and I can tell as the back of my neck has started to hurt this year, if I purposely position my head back and chin tucked in my higher pitched hissing tinnitus that I...

My vision is fine touch woood, funny how I seem to be one of about a hand full of cases, if that, on reported on the interenet who gets tinnitus from such trivial external attributes. My main tinnitus noise is ringing a lot more than usual today too, I might just attempt for disability as what...

I don't think this job will last too long, it just seems that walking or driving seems to cause new tinnitus noises to start on top of my already pre existing horrific tinnitus noise that seem to appear after a week of walking around in a job or driving (vibrations) I just want a normal and...

Ignore my last post. Pointless as I should of guessed.

Bit of a stupid question as most people seem to have no luck with any medication long term but I'm suicidal so thought I'd ask, still waiting for some useless ******* company to deliver melatonin as that used to take the high pitched hissing edge off.

I am in a similar boat to Paulmanlike, my tinnitus has only gotten progressively worse and worse since a year ago and I don't know if I will cope for much longer either. I feel bad for people who have to stay alive so their families are not upset as that's the boat I'm in.

No, I will look it up, feeling a bit better today now I am doign the job I was employed to do and the rininging has subsided a bit, I panicked, sorry.

So the low pitched ringing noises which gets louder from vibrations in my body when walking is back again already, getting louder already, thanks to being put on a job that is different to the one I'm supposed to do I have to walk around all the time. I don't know why I not he trying, I'm...

Well I just need to knuckle down and get my own place so in time I can please myself with how much I want to work without having to worry about rent for ever. That's my theory/plan anyway.

Thank you! It isnt a noise issue, for some reason, something in my right ear vibrates a lot like something is more loose in there so walking and driving causes this and in turn I get the low pitched ringing on top of my usual horrible noise.

After a few months of being unemployed after being fired from my job for taking some time off with anxiety (with a doctors note) due to my tinnitus, I finally landed a job, a lot better pay, unfortunately, the lower ringing has come back too, I think it is due to starting to walk more again and...

I have all those issues which you mentioned... OCD, Perfectionism and the control issues are hand in hand with those two things, in fact all three are tied together.

To me it just seems like another thing to fob us off with because they can't find an actual cure or treatment. I mean, the tinnitus is what is causing me to be unhappy, depressed and suicidal at times, nothing else, I am not mentally ill, if I am it is due to the tinnitus nothing much else. I...

Yeah, maybe for the lucky ones, like myself, up until last year, then it became continuaously worse and worse until I am at the stage where I don't feel happy to do much of anything for more than one day, maybe two at a push a week, it just drains me.

I was always a worrier, I also suffer with OCD, I am anxious when I go out too, I inittialy went through the usual phase with the onset of tinnitus years ago and it got better but over the yearsonly worse again and a bit more and a bit more and so on but I always habituated but since last year...

I don't think it would help my condition to work there, wearing earplugs all day won't help at all for a few reasons. I should really be on disability as I am not in any fit state to work, but the procedure is so long and it causes even more stress down the line, I thought I would take this...

I don't have any children either, I am a mess, why would I want the added stress of raising a child? not to mention it wouldn't be fair on them if I was at constant anxiety and/or depression, I can barely survive most days as it is now :rolleyes:.

Thank you Glynis, I rent but I have money to last a couple more months, not a lot but enough, I don't think this is the job for me, I just don't know what the point of living is, if all I do is just about get by and survive to be unhappy and anxious. I decided to explain to the person who dealt...

Hi, I recently was made unemployed, I was really excited and in a good mood despite my tinnitus ruining most of my happiness and the will to wake up most days, the reason of my good mood was because I finally found a job for good money. I had plans in my head to easily save a deposit in under...

I have been prescibed mirtazapine but I have read so much negative feedback on weight gain with a handful of people in comparison who didnt gain weight on it, how do you gain weight on it even if you don't over eat?

I went, watched Fast 8, unsurprisingly epic for action and didn't dissapoint, tinnitus has changed a bit, only the smallest bit though, I can tel it has been aggravated, or it might just be my anxiety, I do have reactive T and H, hopefully it calms soon. The sound levels with earplugs in felt...

To be honest, I am not sure I want to sit there listening to my tinnitus with earplugs in with how bad it is right now, I might give it a miss.

I am going to watch an action movie, despite my tinnitus being the worse it has ever been :( I will be wearing 28 dB reduction earplugs, I used to wear them in the cinema years ago and I remember feeling comfortable of the sound with them in and I even couldn't hear the talking too well as the...

Can't see my Country on there ;)

I have tried Citalopram, Paxil and Amitriptyline, Citalopram spiked my tinntitus, Paxil didn't but they discontinued it in the UK due to issues with coming off of them, Amitriptyline may have spiked, I do want to try Xanax which I will ask for next time and ask about Mirtazapine, how does...

No, not that time, I will try a different doctor. They aren't very knowledgable about medication are they?

I'll keep trying, thank you for that information. funny how they love to hand out antidepressants and benzos like candy though.

Thanks :LOL:, anyway, the Doctor said she wouldn't prescribe me Quetiapine (which was the tablet I took that my Ex girlfriend had) as I am not bipolar even though I told her it made my anxiety go away the day after taking one tablet, waste of a trip as Pramipexole isn't available in the United...

Well that's what got me thinking about oxytocin as I am single and don't really do that too often. Saying that, I was wrong, the tinnitus went quiet after a mixture of valium and melatonin I took one night, it spiked up again as soon as I began driving as I was getting close to the motorway...

I was going to ask for pramipexole after reading this.. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tinnitus-control-by-dopamine-agonist-pramipexole-in-presbycusis-patients.84/ but I heard that it was only temporary, I still may give it a go as my doctor thinks that I have over active neurons firing...

Sorry, it was audiology not an ENT, but yes this was their answer.

I was referred to an ENT with more interest than most in tinnitus, according to my GP, this was through the NHS, it was the usual talk about how to cope and how to reduce stress and anxiety and they said that I should get counselling. But if I didn't have tinnitus I wouldn't be like this in the...

I have been taking valium on and off for a while but only half of a 2mg tablet a night. I am not sure if it is helping to be honest, I want something for anxiety but I don't want to take anti depressants after readingg all of the horror stories.

Hmmm, maybe, I will ask my Mum to ask him.

My mum told me today that somebody she knows is paying £2000 for an implant which will help their tinnitus, not on the NHS but I can't think what it would be?

Hi, what kind of dental work did you have done that induced the tinnitus?

I must admit, I spent one evening with my ex girlfriend and when I lied in bed, my tinnitus was at a minimum, I had been off of work for a couple of weeks but it was the first night the new low hum noise disappeared, came back two days later after driving but still. That evevining my tinnitus...

I am in the same boat as you now but I haven't cried for a while and I don't know why. My tinnitus was always tolerable but has got a lot worse in the last few months, I used to get that high pitched hissing as a reaction to certain medication and it would last a few days or a few weeks but I've...

I can't think why else my tinnitus would get progressively worse over all. My tinnitus has gone from easy to live with to impossible to live with within only a few months, it started after a tooth extraction and now I can't drive much or walk much without a newly introduced humming noise in my...

@bill 112 and that tells them! :D

You mean the ones with the cans of compressed air attached to them? If so then I would take awild guess at not under 90 decibels, I would also tell you off for not wearing earplugs at a party when you already have tinnitus but we all learn including me! ;) If it was short blast and your spike...

I am aware that it is definitely recognised by the DWP as a disability but I am also aware of how they treat people.
