Hello jjflyman, how are you? I would like to thank you for the initial support you gave me here on TT. It was (and still is) super important.

Čau Jirko, there we go, another member from my country. :) I have read everything you had posted... And I must say I have been having similar T journey as you right now. @jjflyman posts were also super important for me - and actually kept me sane during first couple weeks (especially because...

Done. :)

This is a very important thread for me, I have been avoiding headphones since my second T onset, but I have to admit, I would like to be little bit more "normal" and not to be afraid of normal everyday situations (which is also using headphones once in while on low volume). @Michael Leigh , can...

Wow really? These are some crazy sound protection muffs. :) How loud the fire alarm can be in your work?

Stay strong my friend! Eustachian tube inflammation in combination with TMJ - maybe if the inflammation goes away, you will no longer hear the loud T...

I have actually found them really helpful. Just maybe for a new T sufferer, there a lot of them are aimed to habituation and not mentioning possible healing (spontaneously or by finding the reason for the T onset). And I still personally feel there is real chance that every type of the may T...

I do not have any particular help or cure, but I can say that one month is still a short time and T can also resolve itself spontaneously (you can go through success stories). This information kept my alive during my first onset and keep me half-alive during the relapse. And my ENT said: the...

Hello Sammy. I would suggest you to seek also for some psychiatric help as soon as possible for some basic evaluation (if you will feel down couple more days). A good doctor can decide whether you need some medication. I was able to "resist" without any AD-type medication for almost two months...

I have to disagree a little bit. It depends on each individual, a type of personality, a type of job...

Hello, how are you @Dorothy5271 ? I had some reaction to prednisone too, it caused some ups and downs...

Ok, sorry. My bet. :P

And Sandra, haven't you posted somewhere here on this forum also information that (almost) everybody has some T? Or am I mistaken?

Because it was so quiet that your brain can easily ignore it (and there was no emotional response to it). Our sounds are so loud that brain cannot ignore them. But my point is that it will be difficult to ignore the sound of T even if it gets better, because we have experienced this loud T. And...

Yep. But we have learned how to find the T now and it will be very difficult to forget it. And we can hear sounds that other people would totally ignore (do not hear).

Because silent room is probably not silent enough. :) This is really hard to explain, but I have this luxury of super nice laboratory. Let just put them there and see...

That is why I wanted to replicate it by myself.. Very similar results.

Well... results of The Heller and Bergman experiment and also result of my super small experiment show that majority (>90%) people can hear "something" in complete silence. But you could have been one of the minority or you did not have ability to hear the T.

Maybe I should really reconsider my research and move from saving our planet to tinnitus research. It would be definitely much more easier to get my research funded. :D It really seems that for most of the people there is some sound. I think I can little bit relate to this. I got my T first...

Maybe there is a reason not to come back on TT and write the success story. I wrote that my somatic T is gone-and in two days it is back. :P

I have just replied to your PM. I can pretty much relate to all you've posted here. It is such a shitty condition. I am still trying to fight with it, not admitting that it will stay the same like now. Have you seen some doctor because of the stupid thing called T?

Michael and Bill. I would be very interested in what the right procedure is.. I am for example using sound enrichment for sleeping, however if I knew, that sound of silence would help my T, I would rather listen to my T and have some hope...

We are all afraid. Don't get me wrong, I am super afraid right now. But you are really young and there is quite a strong possibility that medication is the reason, so you really have very high chance to complete recovery. But very important thing is to remember, that most of the people can hear...

This is something (static buzz), which 9 out 10 people has stated they hear in the anechoic chamber during my experiment last month. You are very young, there is always higher chance of T fading in case of young people (mine faded to 10% when I was 16 - and I have never thought about since -...

@jjflyman , as I said numerous times before, your posts are one of the most important for me on this forum. I have sometimes problem to believe in fading, I am still waiting for some first real improvement of my right-ear super annoying T. Hopefully it will be soon, so I could be little bit more...

It is going to be 3 months from the onset. It has been a crazy ride, somatic T is usually gone, but my right ear is giving me tough times.

That would be an interesting survey, but as I said, my research is completely different so I cannot spend so much time on this. Today, I have really really bad day. I am completely tired and I want some relief. :(

I did and I wanted to see by myself in a smaller scale. :) It is funny, that I would maybe get more reads and citations, if I made this kind of research, than with my "normal" research. :D

I will post what I have already posted in "my" thread: Since there is an anechoic chamber in our laboratory, I have made a small sample test with my colleagues (young researchers age < 35). Test sample was 10 people, 2 of them knew about their T, 8 persons stated that they are T free. Each of...

This is some crazy ride. First month after my acoustic trauma I experienced very somatic T. After the prednisone infusions during week 3 after the onset, my T changed from mild/moderate to moderate/loud. It stayed like this for 4 days. Two weeks after the prednisone, somatic T became to fade...

Please do not worry too much, since you are very new to the T. I am no doctor, but the negative effect of the medication can leave after some time when the body get rid of the active substance. And I do feel selfish too, so we are in this together. But when you remain positive, you will speed...

I can imagine the infection in combination with the T is not a perfect situation, but it is just a matter of time. :) If you can already say that you can get used to the ringing, then it will fade away. It is also good to remember that almost everybody has a little bit of ringing, just they...

@Bill Bauer : I think the protection you mention in your posts is very important. I am just not sure about the protection against milder noises. Concerning this issue, I personally think that each person is different and the cause for the T was also different. I protect myself from noises whose...

With T, it is almost not possible to predict if it will fade completely. But in your case (sinus infection), the chance is suuuuuper high. The mental side is very important, as Chris said, try to stay busy, have fun, do not think about the T. And one day, you will find there is no T anymore. As...

I am fighting, but last couple weeks are not good. I am trying to believe you and @jjflyman that it will fade away to the point that I do not hear the T. But I have a lot of troubles to adapt to my "reactive" tinnitus, I hear normal noises differently in left and right ear, this is really...

Bill, you always try to make people feel positive, thanks. How are you actually? Any change of your T?

Hello. First, congratulation to your T leaving you after some time. Can I ask you? Was it relief for you back then? I am now on my second onset of T and it has been really really difficult. But I made it to myself, stupidly so. But I know what made it and I know what to avoid in the future...

So guys,how are you doing?

Hello. This is a question for all the tinnitus sufferers. I have tried to find my tinnitus frequency (one of two), which is actually super high pitched 16 kHz. As I said, I am able to alter T by moving my head into different position. However, I am also to cancel the sound from speakers...

Little bit of update. I am struggling mightily, my mood changes a lot every day, every hour. Prednisone in the hospital didn't help with the anxiety at all. Yesterday I went to seek a psychological help in the hospital. However, first response was to calm down, that this is a normal T reaction...

I don't want to tell you you will be 100% fine, but please try to not get worried about it if it is this mild. :) But when it is finally ok, don't forget post your success.

That is hard to say. Depends on level of your healing I would say. And just be protective.

Festival. With ear plugs. But I felt bad being there even with them, but I stayed... That was my fault..

That is very similar to mine first. First calm yourself. That is the most important with mild T (also with T in general, but I am totally struggling). Back then I actually realised that a lot of people has tinnitus to some point, but their mind is totally ignoring it. And if it not intrusive...

I have to admit that I don't know. I suspect gradual fade... And some habituation maybe also... I tried to find some old reports, but it was 12-13 years ago...

Ben both me and you we are in acute stage. In this very moment I am trying to be as positive as possible (since it is evening and rough time will be in couple hours). Acute means we have high chance, right? Right? Timing for me: dealing with bad health problems, after three years first...

You are very young, give it some time! How severe your T is? Do you hear it while listening to TV or so? Mine "young one" was mild, but I was able to hear it a lot in night. And then it resolved. And now this stupid mistake. Dammit.

Mine went away when I was 16 after loud noise exposure. Just FIY. But took some time. I have second occurrence now and it is worse then ever. So, if it goes away, be superprotective the rest of your life..

So, three day update after Prednisone... It is much much worse. :( I am considering going to seek for psychological help. Please please, I can't cope with this. I was so happy one month ago...

Sinus, muscles, stress. That would be my ordering in the beginning, if I were you. And the brain perceptiveness of course. What is happening to me right now that after loud music exposure, I am able to recognise tinnitus much better, for example my neck muscle position changes the volume (and is...

Today I went to see a doctor in "my second country", because I work in two EU states. This was really different approach in hospital. I got prescribed 3 day cortisone infusions, started today. I must admit, I am struggling. I have had quite a bad health problems for three years, however they...

Sadly, I am the evidence. My second onset was after loud music, but I was very protective and had ear plugs and also stayed far from the podium (actually with small kids around - not my kids I mean :D )...

Hello all. No doctor prescribed me Prednison, but my mum has at home Medrol. What is the usual dosage after acoustic trauma? Should I try it?
