Thank you so much xx

Hey :) I have had my teeth cleaned but other that that haven't needed any dental treatments (touch wood!) I'm sorry you are experiencing a spike, it's always sooo frustrating when you are doing really well and then a spike happens. I know it's soo hard but try not to monitor the spike as I've...

Hey Johan My quality of life is really good these days and I would say it's now the same as before tinnitus although I have had to make some changes such as no concerts or listening to music with headphones which really sucks as those were things I really enjoyed before tinnitus. I also avoid...

Hi Tinnitus Talk Friends! It's certainly been a while and I hope you are all doing well. I'm about to go to bed and suddenly felt compelled to give an update on how I'm going. What prompted this is I actually have a sinus infection which has made my tinnitus considerably worse. I can say...

Heya, I recently had a gynecological surgery and now I have a developed a BV (naturally) Surgeon wants to start me on antibiotics ASAP and I'm just wondering what is my safest option? Thanks heaps.

Hey guys Just wanted to share that this happened to me AGAIN today after an operation. This time it lasted about 5 hours. Sadly not permanent but it's pretty amazing when it happens.

Hi @Digital Doc I thought about your question more and I think a pretty significant moment for me was meeting this guy, I think about him every now and then. He gave me a lot of hope. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/success-story-from-man-that-fixed-my-car.33813/

I should probably add that I'm still very paranoid about noise and won't go out anywhere that may be loud. Although I'm more relaxed about the tinnitus my fear of loud noise is still very much there.

I have three different tones, the first one is permanent, I've had it from the start. It's a very loud static noise. The 2nd one hangs around 90% of the time but did go away for a few months at the start of the year so I'm not sure if it's going to be permanent. It's a soft "eeeee" I have...

I have no advice, I wish I did! I have struggled immensely (if you go through my history you will see how bad it got). Around one year ago I was ready to end my life because of my tinnitus, it was just so bloody exhausting. I guess I got used to it? I'm sure if I have a spike I won't be so...

You're right, I apologise for that statement it was very insensitive.

For the last 2.5 years I've had a fan on full blast EVERY night to help block out my tinnitus so I can sleep, I even take the fan on holidays. Last night I forgot to turn it on and was perfectly fine. I didn't bother turning it on tonight, I genuinely don't give a shit anymore. My tinnitus is...

Eugh you're probably right, she could have at least said a younger age...

Just heard a random success story from my audiologist when I was getting new custom ear plug moulds done. She had a client who suffered with tinnitus for most of her adult life and it stopped when she turned 80. She literally woke up one morning and the ringing stopped and never came back. I...

Same, I was really scared tbh.

Hey just wanted to update in case someone is in a similar situation, the spike went away about 2 weeks after I recovered from the flu. Perhaps still a tiny bit louder but for the most part it's much better.

Hey guys, I'm recovering from the flu and have had a huugeeee spike that has sent me into a bit of a downward spiral. The rational part of my brain knows this spike will likely go away when I'm fully recovered but I'm still absolutely terrified it won't. I think I just need someone to tell me...

Missing my friends in here, life is a bit frantic at the moment. Hope you are all well xxx

I've learnt that I REALLY REALLY love silence. Damn I miss it :cry:

@Hannes Alm did your tinnitus spike afterwards?

I have found this to be very helpful

Doing the same "click the box with a bike" captcha over and over is sending me a little loopy

Oh boy the memes coming out of this thread are absolutely hilarious. I've genuinely loled so many times. :LOL:

Thanks for sharing @magiccat. That's crazy that your relatives hearing came back after 6 years! Did he ever find out why he lost it?

Genuine lol

I wish you could post pics in the comments under profile posts.

Oh my gosh don't even get me started on ENT's :LOL: I went to three all up and found them to be extremely abrasive and dismissive. To be fair I was fairly hysterical when I saw the first one so I can understand why he didn't want to deal with me. Of course I'm sure there are some really great...

Amen to that (y)

I wonder if there is a group of people in another forum getting each other to vote. They have made a dangerous enemy! TT folk want a cure.

Reminds me of this awful story https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5130135/Girl-14-suffers-condition-turns-sound-pain.html

Hey Zug I read this comment ages and purchased the book. Just finished it and wow what an amazing book. 10/10 Highly recommend.

Maybe I'm a bit of a killjoy but I hate April fools and rarely find pranks funny. 95% of the time I cringe when companies do something.

Wow that is interesting.

Omg I would actually die.

Would you endure 4 hrs of super loud tinnitus per day if the rest of the day was completely silent.

Oh gosh I'm so naive, I believe everyone in here.

At the start of this year I signed up to one of those 12 week challenges at the gym to get in shape for my wedding. During the challenge I met a girl who was also trying to lose weight for her wedding. She was pretty nice and we bonded over wedding stuff. During the challenge we often messaged...

Yes this 100%. I was full of self loathing for a while after developing my tinnitus, always going over all the things I did wrong and hating myself for screwing my ears. I don't think about it now, I'm over it.

@Jazzer I'm certainly not trying to argue with you and I completely get what you are saying but I genuinely do believe it was super loud for him. He seemed like a pretty practical guy and was very matter of fact when talking about it. When he recalled how hard sleeping was he was grimacing. I...

I feel like mine is actually so awful I shouldn't share it... but I will. This was many years ago when I was in my early 20s. I started seeing a guy from work (terrible idea I know) he was so lovely and extremely funny. He told me he wanted to wait a while for any physical stuff because he was...

Apparently I'm a type 4w5.
