As a main sound I have an high frequency hiss and a pure tone as well, it is a bit hard to distinguish which is the predominant one. In addition I have a low drone sound in one ear which fortunately is quite soft and I can hear only in silence

Hi @another sean :) I am not a real expert in photography but since I got a Nikon D3200 a couple of years back as a present I am learning a bit on my own on my free time. Living in Norway definitely helps with the landscapes hehehe. I am really attracted by sunset and night photography :)

Hi @DebInAustralia thanks a lot your sharing your experience! I actually went to the emergency room to get it removed properly because I was afraid of messing it up. They threw the tick right away without mentioning the possibility of getting it analysed. I am not that surprised anymore by the...

@fishbone @Nanny chocolate thanks for your words. I just had a call with my family doctor from Italy (I am italian although I live in Norway) which happen to suffer from T as well. He confirmed that I should stick to the antibiotic that I am taking it now and the spike I am experiencing is...

So two weeks ago I went camping and the day after I did some gardening the whole afternoon. I got bitten by a tick which I discover to have still on my body the next Monday, so potentially 3 days after it jumped on my body. After developing a skin rash compatible with Lyme disease, my GP put me...

I am replying to this old thread because I am currently taking Glutathione after an ENT prescribed me for my tinnitus. When I asked him what Glutathione was supposed to do he answered that it can be used to stabilise old acoustic traumas since at this point steroids would not have any effects...

Yes with earplugs it was fine, I did not notice any increase in T and I could enjoy the movie as 17Db did not attenuate sounds too much. That was my first time, I am planning to watch some more in some weeks as there is an international film festival in the city where I live. But I guess I'll...

I used to be part of a film club before T, so I decided to attend to an event where they were showing Blade Runner. Not a very loud movie but I kept my custom earplugs in (17db reduction)

In the beginning I did not, specially because T got much worse after being into a bar for some hours without ear protection. That was after a month from the initial T onset and at that time I did not have much knowledge about T... Then I lived some months in almost complete isolation, every...

Indoor concert. It started mild but a second moderate noise exposure made it worst (and gave me H as well) . It was really hard to cope with for the first months, specially because T used to fluctuate a lot in response to external noises. Lately it has been quite stable (apart from a really bad...

Hi @Christophe_85 I am a computer engineer so as @Kolisar I work mainly at my desk. Even though I work in a open space office, it is normally quiet. I actually find working one of the few "activities" that makes me forget about T for some time, since I tend to be really focused on the task I am...

Same here! As a dog person I absolutely loved it!

I got T from an indoor concert. Unfortunately at that time I knew nothing about ear damage and T so I did not wear any ear protection. I try to do a bit of exercise every day, also because I spend 8 hours a day sit at my job. I don't push it too hard and I found that swimming is the sport that...

Hi @Christophe_85 , I guess my T does not like the change of the normal sound environment around me. I live and work in a quiet and calm norwegian city following the same routine (work - exercise/swimming pool/hiking - home) and keeping the noise around me (and my stress level) quiet. I push...

In order to improve the mood of the forum an update on my situation... After a week of intense ear fullness and pain I woke up one morning with T volume cut down in the half. Not sure what happened, I just went back with my "healthy life" routine, taking vitamins and NAC. I also went to an ENT...

Hi! For the last 10 days I have been on holidays. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be helping me relaxing from tinnitus made it worse :( I had to take a long flight (and one back home of course) and thanks to the several suggestions I found on this forum I could minimise any side effect. I...

Hi @amymilly, I know exactly what are you going though. I have T since 2 and half month due to loud noise exposure. After an initial shock I had got to the point where T was really soft during the night and in the first 30 minutes after waking up. In the last week my T spiked 3 times with...

@Abs Thanks for your kind words :) When I went to the ENT he told me that my ear canal looked clean from wax. Anyway I need to go to my GP soon for other reasons and I will ask him to double check. I know I am not alone in this, and there are people of this this forum who are worst symptoms...

Hi! I have been reading this forum for the last month and a half and I though it was time to introduce myself. First of all, thanks for this forum. It is a daily source of knowledge on a topic so little known in medicine. I am Matteo, a 28 yo guy from Italy even tough now I've been living in...
