    Commuting (by Train) with Tinnitus — How to Avoid Spikes?

    You can try wearing earplugs instead, get a pair that you can re-use every time you travel. Works pretty good for me at least.

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Long-Lasting Everyday Home-Practiced Experiences

    I asked Anne Harila at Laserklinikken once when my T got really crazy from LLLT and she told me to stop. But it would be great to see what other professionals working with LLLT and T would say about this.

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Long-Lasting Everyday Home-Practiced Experiences

    What do you guys do if the T gets much louder during treatment? Normally my T might fluctuate a bit during treatment and afterwards but never with the intensity as it's at now from my last 3 treatments as a wrote about above. I have a suspicion that the healing is moving into the most damaged...

    Is Tinnitus the Only Condition for Which People Blame Themselves?

    I guess It's all different from person to person. I've also heard of other people that have T and does not use any protection. It must be that for some people the noise does not change for some reason. It might also be related to H like some people say, I've never met another person that also...

    Those Who Wear Earmuffs Everyday

    I would say that traveling with public transit is loud, I personally use in ear plugs when going to work and going around the city because of all the intense sounds. But I can see what other people are saying regarding the ears becoming more sensitive and there might be something to that.

    This Is Ridiculous... Tinnitus Back but Not Because of Noise

    That sounds like a pain, from my own experience noise induced tinnitus can be such a shape shifter, at least in my own experience. During my time with tinnitus I’ve done some flying and even gone to a concert and many parties and pubs without any change to my T or H but then something simple...

    Is Tinnitus the Only Condition for Which People Blame Themselves?

    I've though about this too, maybe it's because of the crippling nature of hearing related issues like T and H that there isn't anyone with these conditions that has the power to put a light on this issue and get some kind of meaningful funding. Reading that the American Tinnitus Association has...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Long-Lasting Everyday Home-Practiced Experiences

    I do have T and H due to load noise but my hearing is still good, the hearing tests only show a minor dip at the higher frequencies. I’m guessing the most damage is somewhere in the frequencies that they do not test for where I live. I do have a mean tinnitus tough so that’s the only thing I...

    Doing Well, Then Suddenly the Tone Goes Up and Ear Feels Full. Can Wax/Fluid Really Change Things?

    From my own experience noise induced tinnitus is very weird at times and can flare up when you least expect it. I do not have any experience with issues related to wax or fluid buildup so I have no idea if this could be the problem. I wish you the best and hope your T gets better soon!
