:( You where one of the members who's opinion I trusted

All your information is fine, but still its not what your saying. Your saying thats 'all' people will. But like I said, I know people who did not habituated, so saying that everyone will is false. I don't know why you say you don't want to post here anymore, but thnx for posting.

Nice to see all the replies. First off, I did not meant to make a distinction between the truth and being positive. Like I said, sometimes its both. But, the goal is different. With one you try to change the emotional State, with the other you try to give an objective picture of what we know...

Sorry for your loss. You should def bring your earplugs. Organs can be really loud if they are big. Sometimes they hit the huge bel, that can get really loud to. I have temporary work at funerals so ive been to a loottt

Custom 33 db plugs are better I think. The musicians only go to like 25.

What kind of spasms doe you have? I seem to have some of the problems you have. Did you also have Sharp sensations in your arms and feet?

The Youth likes extreme things. Our culture sees youth culture as the leading culture. Thats why we need to buy good clothes (even if your older) and you buy creames to look younger. Everybody want to be young. A lot of times churches or other places try to follow this culture as well.

For me its also been half a year. Time goes fast I guess. Never ever expected to get this condition, and still cant believe how weird unexpecting life can be. Mostly I can live with it and am not bothered by is. But sometimes I still panic a little. Also hope that there may be a cure one day : )

Do you teach in a high school? Because a lot of teschers also get T because of the loud noise in the classroom. I also got a degree in education, but i'm not going to teach without protection. Those kids can scream!

Why is this topic removed from the support forum? This topic was created to think about the best way to support people. How can this not be relevant? When I said a moderator could edit my post, what I was trying to say was remove the part about the woman.

Your right, i'm sorry I used that story to make my post. I would get it out, but I cant anymore. A mod can edit my post. Now Lets forget about that and go back to the issue, or else it will get attention. I am a type of guy who wants to hear the truth. When I got tinnitus I wanted to hear the...

Difference between elacin custom music and ACS pro 17 I was looking into custom earplugs, and most are pretty simular. Anyone experience with ACS? In was wondering what the difference is between these earplugs. From pictures it looks like the ACS ones are smaller and draw less attention. How...

Mine is also louder, but its temporary

I agree! When I had it, a ot of people it me it would go away. There is nothing wrong with being positive, but how do you know? Same thing with other subjects. I think people should hear the truth first. I think that positivity without the truth will do damage. The truth is more important...

My mom went to some loud events lately. She know how I hate my tinnitus, and she knows life becomes harder. But when ahe goes, she does not care. She does not use ear protection. People don't realise how bad it is till you have it.

This has been on my mind for some time now. As we all know, tinnitus is not just a sound, but the reaction to this sound. The very core of the problem our psychological responce to the sound. We cant remove the sound, but we can manage our responce. By being positive about life, we can manage...

People should not be scared or surprised with this. Every disease had people who give up. I remember reading people with severe acne commiting suïcide. Acne is really common to.

Nu custom made. Sillicon I think.

I bought two kinds of expensive plugs: 33 db (130 euro) and the elacin mucisians 15 db. (160 euro). Now i'm protected for the next couple of years for almost every situation :D

Neenie, when is the concert? I'm curious if your going and what your experience will be. @Sean, I think my level is still higher, but i'm used to it already. It may went down a little bit. To bad the earasers suck :(

I went from a hiss to a tone. Still changes from time to time.

I used nasonex, did not make tinnitus worse

No it did not. So I have learned a lot from this, i'm not going to take these risks again. I will just accept I will never go to a concert again. It sucks, but this is life. Just have to enjoy the other things more then :) How are you? Did you stop using the earasers earplugs?

Exactly. Its all pretty simple: With high volume in sound, there is a high risk of increasing tinnitus. Concerts have extremely high volume, so concerts are high risk. We know earplugs protect somewhat, but we also hear enough stories of people who protected their ears and still the t...

Sorry I don't like this comment. You only live once and thats why she should go? How about you only live once so you need to protect your hearing? It can go both ways.. If her tinnitus becomes even worse, she can not get that back either. So just saying someone should go because you only live...

Cured, I don't know. But I know 2 cases were the t just stopped all of a sudden. One was after 5 years, the other was also after a couple of years.

I thought the bone structure also produces sound, thats one of the reasons why earplugs don't go over 33 db. Because they cant promise more protection. Making desicions with tinnitus has nothing to do with 'kicking its ass'. You need to calculate what the risk is and what the reward is, but no...

I would not risk it. I know sucks but just being honest Edit: Just wanted to add something. Concerts can get reallyy loud. Earplugs only prevent sound trough air, not the sound that is being generated by bone structure. I don't think you can protect yourself enough for this.

Thans everyone for the kind words! My spike is not gone yet, but I feel better. I thought I didn't need to come here anymore, but the support here is really nice :) i'm going to buy custom made plugs with a minimum of 30 db for these kinds of things. I do need two, because in softer situations I...

Ok so I have tinnitus since november/december. The first nights where horrible but I recovered. Everything was going fine and I was happy again, until last night. Last night I went to a party. The location was not very loud at the beginning. I was having my earplugs in, they protect like 15db...

Hello there! I might start with a martial art. I feel i want to be able to protect my family and friends. I also like the training. But, I scared a blow on the head will make tinnitus worse. Can someone comment on this statement? Is there someone here with experience in martial arts and...

I think it would be Nice to give an update. Actually, i'm doing better again :) the situation socially is getting better. I think I made the right desicions. I have a different job now wich I like more. And on top of all, I don't care about my tinnitus anymore. Ive seen life in such a...

Somehow people here make a distinction between loud sounds and everyday sounds while one doesnt rule the other out. Everyday or not, when a sound is to loud you have to protect your ears. I was in the bus once and the noise was sometimes getting to 100 db. Thats everyday noise thats bad for...

I don't understand the whole 'no hearing loss' thing. My docter said my hearing was better then most of my age. But everyone has hearing loss! Even if you just have a little bit, it could cause tinnitus. So: - no one has no hearing loss - because everyone had hearing loss the cause can always...

Thnx for sharing!

The pants analogy is not really accurate. You can strive for it to be like a pants, but it can never be one because a pants doesnt actively annoy you. So you will always fail in that matter, and no one will be truly habituated. I agree with magpie.

Just some ideas and questions I had. When I read here on TT (and yes, i'm pretty new) I read a lot about habituation. It looks like there are a lot of opinions about it, but we all someone say the same. Now, before I went here I never heard about this word in relation to an illness or...

I think it has been proven by now that tinnitus is not something we make up, but it is really in the brain. I think the keyword here is focus. Even though we have biological needs, our will and consiousness have an effect on our judgement. So by focussing on your yawning, you change the...

Also got mine after using Apple earplugs... Men

Wow, surprised. I got the results of my hearing test. There was a small difference between my ears but that was because of a little bit of flued in my ear. This Isnt the ear with tinnitus. So I asked him: is my hearing ok? These are the words of my docter: your hearing Isnt ok, its perfect. It...

Maybe I already told it here once, but one of my greatest examples is Nick Vuijcic, he was born with no arms and legs. He is now a worldwide speaker, married and has a child. A lot of his lectures are about hope, even when when the obstacles are huge. Maybe you should watch some of his video's.

Me 2! People just don't understand how it feels like to have T. Really glad I found this forum!

Thats funny, had the same thing. A friend of mine had it. Thought to myself: thank goodness I don't have that. Year later I also have it.

@ ladydi, yes I will ask that I did the hearing test today and unfortunatly I already know there is hearing damage. One ear I heard things really better then the other ear. The strange thing is that my bad ear is nit the side I have my tinnitus. I will have to wait for the results, but they...

Man, they are supposed to be specialists. It was also a pretty young docter. If they don't know it then I guess this place is the best help I can get. I will ask him some critical questions about this. It might still be possible that it will go away within 6 months I think? We will see.

I'm getting a test for hearing loss. He said: If its due to hearing loss it might be permanent. If its not hearing loss in almost all cases its going away on its own (and there is no other medical reason ofcourse) Yet, I thought atleast some people here don't have any hearing damage yet is...

It funny because when there was complete silence late at night, I would often put the tv on so that there was 'sound in the background'. Its not the silence we want, its the possibility. Also, a lot of people report that sometimes there are moments of silence. So just look forward when it...

Just try to think that silence is overrated. Silence can me disturbing too.

Its also worse when I wake up and gradually gets les in couple of minutes.

Thank you for the responces. @mick1987, yes I should priorize my life, but it order to do that you need to be thinking straight, and thats hard now. Getting a job is nr1. But wrighting letters for jobs takes mental energy and I have so little of that. @Danny I really don't want to live with...

Thank you so much for your responces! It really means a lot to me.. Just someone to acknowlege that this is really difficult helps me so much. Thank you!! So many life changing events at once, I just don't know how to handle this. Finding a job, dealing with tinnitus, getting over the hardest...

Men, why now? I have so many shit going on and this is not helpen. I went from college (social study) to factorywork (with I find depressing work, no human contact). Girlfriend and I broke up, we where planning to get married. Had to cut off 'best friend' because of toxic friendshi(t)p. So...

Thats amazing. I can imagine this alone is hope for others. It can go away, even if only for hours :)

Muscle spasms (twitching fingers, arms and legs tingling sensation every day) and irritable bowel syndrome. My doctor said most likely caused by stress. I'm really a stresser.

Men... That really impacts my life... :(Its so stupid that I have to be aware of this. So louder then a vacune cleaner is your standard? I will try to apply this.

How about traffic? And crowded places? I'm sorry i'm trying to figure out when I should and should not protect my ears.

Yeah I think even when its getting lower, you should always get those earplugs in.

Picks up where it left off? Did it het less and worse again?

One and a half weeks ago. Did not get any less :( try not to focus on it.

I know someone who had islt had gone away after 5 years after a club. Its really weird.
