Sorry, a bit of a late post, Yes, my Tinnitus has gotta a lot better, I had a spike for a few days last week, but otherwise, it's fine.

Hey everyone, Just checking in bimonthly to give you a heads up. Had Tinnitus for about 4 months now. Looks like it's going to be a thing I just have now. Whatever, it fluctuates all day long from super loud to super quiet, I pay it no real mind for most of the day. I still go out, I even went...

I've had T in my right ear, but now after the flu I have a really loud high pitch in my left ear, my right ear is a little louder as well. I really hope this is just some kind of spike. I'm taking your word for it, but it's causing me so much distress. I think it woke me up in the middle of the...

I got the flu last week, it completely blocked my Eustachian tubes making me have to perform the valsalva maneuver a few times to level out my ears. Before I got the flu my tinnitus was so low it was barely noticeable now it's roaring loud. Will it go back down or is it stuck like this...

I got the flu and the doctor prescribed me Benzonatate for my coughing and congestion but I keep remembering something about Benzonatate being ototoxic and bad for tinnitus sufferers. Am I wrong?

It could take years, you've had it for quite awhile. Have you habituated at all to the sound?

The guy that cut my hair trimmed my ear hair and put the trimmer right on my ear lobe. I didn't know he was going to do that. It was super loud but I just dealt with it as it only lasted maybe 10-15 seconds. After a few hours my tinnitus is definitely spiked and feels super intrusive, I can't...

T is caused from any number of reasons. You could have acoustic trauma or you could have jaw problems, there's no real way to diagnose via the forums, you need to talk to a doctor, preferably a GD and have them refer you to different specialists. The initial onset of T sucks, you have no...

Hello everyone, I'm 4 days away from my 2 month anniversary with T and I just want to say that it's reduced in volume by about 75%, it's not no longer an issue. I constantly push my brain to not focus on it to make sure it can't get louder or ruin my habituation. It is getting harder to login...

It's such a bummer to see that using headphones with T is so controversial. When I ski I would always put some earphones in so I could listen while I went down the mountain. I guess I won't be able to listen to music during my favorite hobby anymore :(

I'm starting to transition into the "fuck it" mind space with the tinnitus, I just felt the weight dropping was super loud in my gym because it's so crowded, but yeah these new sounds give me anxiety. Still I can't shake the feeling that my ear feels different after finally getting back to the...

I tried to wear some ear plugs while I was at the gym because I was afraid the clashing of the dumb bells was going to hurt my ears. However, after working out twice I now have these two low frequency tones that feel like they are fighting over who should be playing every waking second. I can't...

I have intermittent tinnitus as well, I go long stretches of the day where I can't hear it, I've even laid down in bed and gone, "whoa, where's the ringing?!" even when thinking about it, it's gone, but once I start thinking about it, I usually start to hear it in about 30-40 seconds.

I'm at somewhat of a crossroads. I had been planning to move out of Florida for about 3 months now. I was going to move to the Boulder area, I don't know know anyone remotely close to that part of the country but it feels like a place I want to live, I love the mountains/skiing/hiking. Then I...

What up I woke up one day with T in my right ear (10/12/2017). It's a high pitched ring, but here the positive part, within only a month I feel like I'm starting to habituate and the sound is starting to soften. Before, almost nothing could mask it and now suddenly I have to "search" for the...

Hey what up fellow Floridian. There's lots of jobs I would say are pretty quiet, when I was at radio shack, is was pretty quiet, so maybe a wireless retailer, and other small stores, I'd avoid working at places like walmart or target because they get loud. Perhaps the government buildings need...

Does anyone else also have random times where the T will get super loud for maybe 10-20 seconds and then go back to it's normal volume?

You're all starting to make me think it might actually be TMJ but I'll make sure to get a Primary Care Doctor as I find these specialists will only diagnose you if it falls within the realm of their expertise. Mine can vary wildly, it's a high pitched tone that can be loud for an hour or so and...

I understand I have tinnitus now, I understand it's permanent, but why do I feel this pressure or pain in my ears? Specifically the one with tinnitus in it? Literally no doctor even cares to look at my ear they just say, oh you have tinnitus, that sucks, join a support group. Yeah well my ear...

Hey man, I also have sensitive hearing in my ears, washing my dishes can be pretty rough on my ear if I'm not super careful. I wear headphones now just to block out a lot of the noise. @jer which doctor should I go to, to get the prednisone? I feel like none of my doctors are prescribing me...

Yeah I saw that and I'm hoping I get to be one of the lucky ones, but I'm still going to try and adjust to this new sound as if it's permanent. My T today is pretty low but I hear that's how it works, you have good days and bad days. I'm currently taking Zinc, Magnesium, Ginkgo, and an...

I just got Tinnitus randomly last week. The first week is without a doubt the worst as it's such a shift from what you're used to, this second week has been slightly better but I'm sure it will take me a long time to habituate. Even if they tell you it's tinnitus go see an ENT to rule out...

I'm not sure if my loud headphone music caused my tinnitus or stress. I broke up with my live in GF of 4 years in June and the break up is still effecting me. I broke up with my rebound so now I don't really have anyone to hang out with, I'm far from my family, etc. I'm in software and it's a...

> How do you know that to be the case?

I've been to maybe 2-3 handful of clubs or raves, my ears would ring but it would usually stop and I'd be able to enjoy peace and quiet whenever I wanted. Then one day, about a week before posting this I woke up with this prominent ringing in my right ear. I hadn't been to a rave or club in...
