    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    I was not exposed to any loud sounds, just a constant, dead air type sounds from a bluetooth headset. Which I've been told by professionals has never caused tinnitus and probably can't cause it. Its all bullshit, our understanding of tinnitus is nothing, its guesswork. All of it.

    yeah a little, just getting used to it now. Tinnitus always makes you feel 'ill' somehow, it taints everything. Awful

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    didn't have the MRI, sounded like a pneumatic drill which i was concerned would make my tinnitus worse. So yeah i chickened.I have had lots of chats, consults and things and it got me…. nowhere. Things just happened on their own, nothing cured it, nor is there a cure that I'm aware of. Whats...

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    saw an ENT and pretty much told that its a permanent thing and that its not anything explainable like bacteria, virus, exposure to noise, TMJ or anything else. It will get quieter over time and there are maskers and therapy, but that is it really. She did a swab test just to see its not...

    Tinnitus and Computers

    Tinnitus was so loud at home after using my computer, went to my girlfriends and it's now much quieter really lovely. WHY? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? What the f*ck!? Do I need a new chair? A new pc? She also massaged my neck and it went away a little, lots actually! Why?

    Tinnitus and Computers

    Im putting a new thread here because i feel I'm closer to figuring out what either caused my tinnitus or is at the very least making it much, much worse, or even it being something more than just tinnitus…. I got tinnitus a few weeks ago, started quiet then got super loud. With the sound i...

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    Things are strange here, very strange. I stayed with my girlfriend at her house for the Christmas period, the day before though the Tinnitus was very quiet for some reason, all day and night. I stayed there and it pretty much went away nearly 100%, for 3 days! came home to my room again, the...

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    I didn't rely on just one doctor, i relied on 6 separate ones! It just doesn't seem 'real' this, it seems so minor a condition? yet it baffles the pro's! that is the single most painful thing about all of this! i feel like I've gone back 100 years, back to a time when medicine was archaic and...

    with mine it doesn't matter what you eat at all, junk, good food, it just starts quiet then gets louder, its inevitable. I recently came of herbalife, wonder if its something to do with that>

    and now its feeling quiet again (morning still here) and doesn't feel blocked.

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    I asked about it being tmj with my doc and she said its doubtful its that at all. I was referred to an ENT specialist not a tmj specialist, also don't forget that this all started by the use of a device that was in my ears emitting a hiss, loud or not that hiss is still here today, lets face it...

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    Only somatic tinnitus gets louder, mine is almost gone in the morning but by bed time it's louder than you could possibly conceive. I will not get any help and it won't get better, not from what I've read in the forums here.

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    Is there a form of tinnitus that gets louder when you're doing any physical activity? When my heart beats faster my tinnitus is twice as bad, it means I can't do any physical exercise at all. Or anything at all other than sitting!

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    I do not have meniers, the ENT would know as he was a specialist in that condition.What is hydrous cochlea and what is betahistine? can it be taken even if i don't have it? willing to try anything at this stage. Ime even resorting to herbal remedies here, using B12 complex's and all sorts of...

    Just to add this as well, occasionally I've been getting vertigo feelings and dizziness with this tinnitus, sometimes as a result of the sound being so very loud that it feels like its damaging me somehow and other times i just feel feint for particular reason. When i DO feel faint or vertigo...

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    Google somatic tinnitus and it comes up, even on this very forum too. I also experience neck issues, pinched nerves etc but tens can either make it worse or cure it totally, poor success rates though.

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    No? I've not seen another one since it was suggested it was somatic ? No doc has diagnosed me , at least not properly.

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    yes it does seem like that, but i disagree with you using the word treatment as there isn't any, that TENS treatment is awfully risky as if mine got ANY worse i do not know what i would do.

    My (Unusual) Tinnitus Story

    Also my tinnitus is much louder when I'm active, even just walking or putting a coat on? Twice as loud! Then when I stop it reduces in volume. This is just isn't normal tinnitus

    Its always quiet in the morning then gets louder…. ENT recommends i use a hearing aid with a special frequency to stop the noise but will be very costly.

    Cool, is that a permanent thing? again because i won't be able to work at all anymore if it is! My only solution is to have earphones on all day/night every day/night with rain sounds on it full blast. I also experience it worse when i grind my teeth or my jaw hurts….. mainly when lying down...

    Its cause for concern if it shifts ears arrantly, it should always be balanced.

I ALWAYS grind my teeth...

    UPDATE: visited my dentist this morning and has performed an X-ray as well as listening to my symptoms. What showed up on the X-Ray is an Impacted wisdom tooth, he even thought that the saliva gland(s) may have been infected as well. He believes it is this that is caused the tinnitus (sort of...

    also i want to state that the tinnitus has definitely shifted from my left ear to my right, its pretty much gone in my left and is now excruciatingly loud in my right (which for the last 2 weeks of having it was ALWAYS in the left ear) my left ear feels almost normal!WTF
