    TMJ Tinnitus — From 7 to Occasional Days of 1

    I think I have TMJ tinnitus too. I hear a click when I run and sometimes walk and when I clench down on my teeth the T increases. Should I see another ENT? The last one say my hearing was perfect but just told me how to mask the T. I don't have a diagnosis. How can I know If I have TMJ...

    Ketamine Relieves Depression by Restoring Brain Connections

    Hahahaha I love that line. It is good to hear that it really isn't as big of a deal as I thought wearing earplugs in public was. Yeah most people neglect their hearing health until they have a problem. I used to listen to loud music through ear buds but have stopped. I'll be careful and I am...

    Ketamine Relieves Depression by Restoring Brain Connections

    Thank man! Do you go to clubs at all even with earplugs? Because even with earplugs at nightclubs sometimes get to 115db so its still risky and people with earplugs can still have a temporary threshold shift. Also, what have you done to cope with it are you not afraid of loud noises at all or...

    Ketamine Relieves Depression by Restoring Brain Connections

    My Tinnitus is pretty mild Id say 2.5/10. Its been a while though. I haven't gone out or done anything with friends in along time. I just want this to go away, but it might not apparently. I'm not depressed anymore but my social life has gone away completely since having it. I'm afraid of loud...

    Ketamine Relieves Depression by Restoring Brain Connections

    I see that AM-101 has been having success. It is not cleared and cannot be reached or taken at this time which leaves the person with the 3 month window (me) screwed. I don't care if it will be cleared in a year or 2 I need it now. It will only help with the onset of T as soon as possible. While...

    Undiagnosed Cause March 2nd

    @Ed209 I've read that hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps T in the early stages. https://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-for-tinnitus/ I have an appointment set up for that. Yeah, it seem to be more in my head than ears. Until it goes away, Im not going out as much...

    Undiagnosed Cause March 2nd

    I used to listen to music at high volume using earphones. I only went to one party in a long time, no clubs. I do have allergies but I've been taking Flonase. The one exposure of super loud music caused my right ear to feel fullness for 2 weeks on Janruary 2nd. But I didn't have T after...

    Perfect Hearing, Why Do I Have Tinnitus?

    @Michael Leigh The was present very soft at night after but on March 2nd it became very present. I am really careful about my hearing and don't wear earbuds anymore. So in the 3 month window is usually wear I find out if it'll go away or stay?

    Undiagnosed Cause March 2nd

    Perfect audiology test. Perfect ABR test (Auditory Brain Response test). So I have no hearing loss or hidden hearing loss. Could I have had a quick week long infection that caused tinnitus? Saw an ENT a week after the T started no signs of infection. TTTS? I have a clicking sound when I run...

    Perfect Hearing, Why Do I Have Tinnitus?

    Is it possible I had an ear infection and didn't know it, but saw an ENT a week later and no infection? Is it possible that that could have caused the T?

    Got Tinnitus on My Birthday + Questions! Please Answer If Possible

    @LukeYoung @TheTinnitusTony How do we have T we are all so young?? School never educated me on loud music and what not. Now I've read so much I know just about as much as an ENT. Mine started up recently too since March 2nd and I don't know why.

    Got Tinnitus on My Birthday + Questions! Please Answer If Possible

    @TheTinnitusTony I think you and me are very similar. An acocustic trauma on Janriary second made my ear lose hearing for two weeks. Now I'm taking prednisone like you. I have T and I'm dreaming out just like you it started out a on March 2nd. I'm 18 and your just like me. Hopefully it goes...

    Perfect Hearing, Why Do I Have Tinnitus?

    I took a Audiotory brain stem response Test (ABR) and I passed that. And I think that looks for hidden hearing loss. The audiologists said that hearing loss occurs in the hair cells first even though I told them it does damage to the Audiotory synapses first. People who have hidden hearing...

    Perfect Hearing, Why Do I Have Tinnitus?

    Took another audiology test. Perfect hearing, no surprise. Nothing but 5 decibels and above. The ENT can't explain why I'm having T. It's more of a hissing on the left side of my head. Sometimes it can ring. I don't know what to do anymore. I know it's recent but I feel like something could be...

    A Living Nightmare... The Never Ending Scream in My Head.

    @ManApart I'm going to try hyperbaric oxygen therapy and see if it helps. They say after a acute noise exposure the hair cells don't get as much oxygen as they used to. This increases it big time. It's supposed to be used within 3 months of the onset of Tinnitus. This article also mentions...

    Tinnitus Concerns and Questions

    Thanks @GregCA ! One more question do you ever hear total silence for like a few minutes before the T comes back? Because this happens to me.

    Tinnitus Concerns and Questions

    I'm new to T it's been about 3 weeks in my left ear that didn't really bother me. But as of 2 days ago it's louder. It feels like it's coming from my head not my ear. Sometimes I can barley hear it. Why does the T go from different spots in my head? Sometimes it'll be on the right side, then...

    Anxious Newbie

    I listened to rediculously loud music on Janriary second. I had ear fullness in my right ear for 2 weeks. I went to 4 ENT and my hearing returned. I have normal hearing. It seems like I had very slight Tinitus in my left ear though hissing like you. Recently, my T got louder and it seems to be...

    My Story So Far :(

    Hi @Allie The last 3 weeks I've had Tinnitus like you. It wasn't loud when I went to sleep and only seemed to be on my left ear. 2 days ago it became louder. It became a ringing tone and it drove me crazy. I'm a Senior in high school, ad am supposed to graduate this year so I can go to...

    @Kibakiru Your right, moving on is really the only way to go. It's just sad at the moment. Reading how people like you aren't bothered by it really inspires me. I think I want to try to get out of the house Tommorow and do something. Maybe I'll run the track at my gym. That's always a good...

    What's the Point?

    As far as T is concerned yeah I don't know mine just started. Sometimes it gets louder other times it's quiet. How loud is the T on a scale of 1-10? I mean the doctor said give it 6 months so maybe just wait. It's true T might not go away or it might. You and me are young so if anyone can get...

    What's the Point?

    I feel you man. I'm having the same thoughts. I'm a senior in high school and T hit me recently. 15khz doesn't mean shit. We only need to hear between 250khz -8000khz. That's everything we hear on a daily basis. I hear up to 15khz too but I have good hearing. How do you think you got T? Is your...

    Hey @Jenni8619 Im knew to this forum to. I created my account today. My T as of yesterday became more apparent and bothersome.

    Hi Ren! @Kibakiru I read your whole story it made me cry a little to be honest. You and me are so young. We have our whole lives in front of us, but this Tinitus managed to snag us while we were so young. Literally the whole day I've been looking up things about it. This is so unfair. Like you I...

    A Living Nightmare... The Never Ending Scream in My Head.

    I'm 18, and my tinnitus has been going on since January. I recently noticed it more as of yesterday. I have normal hearing so it's a mystery. It seems to me that Tinitus is the worst thing known to man. I personally rather have cancer than this. I'm in the same boat as you @ManApart . I'm...

    It's probably around 105 decibels. I too avoid loud noises.
