After reading all these comments I think I’m much better off without this site and the people on it. I’ll be making this journey myself. Good luck everyone.

I know you guys are saying this doctor is stupid and I understand your reactions but he is literally the world's leading expert so I wouldn’t be so quick as to dismiss his knowledge.

So, I’ve just come from Harley Street in London, having just had an appointment with the UK's and probably the world’s leading ENT Doctor. And he told me that tinnitus volume as long as there is no current infection is always at 20 dB and the perceived loudness is always related to emotional...

You guys are getting caught up in a train of thought thinking that tinnitus is the only issue in the world. Every relationship has compromises because of the other person e.g no long hikes if you’re asthmatic etc. You guys have to think that everyone else has issues too, and, although it may be...

I know this is an old thread, but I’m in the same boat! Fully habituated, period of stress with my girlfriend and now I can only focus on my tinnitus. I'm 100% certain it’s just due to my now stressed state of mind and I’m taking steps to be a bit more independent as I’ve been spending a lot of...

Cheyennes: I’ve been prescribed some Anamys corticosteroid nasal spray and advised to take Sudafed for 6 weeks in conjunctions with this to see if it’s allergen based. As for the TMJ I’m making sure I keep my jaw relaxed and I’ve been fitted for a night guard to stop me from grinding my teeth...

Contrast: if it has caused permanent damage then I guess I’ll have to live with that, I’ve never had my hearing tested above 8khz but on those YouTube tests I can hear up to 18khz so I think I’m ok Dpdx, maybe go to your doctor and ask them to have a look in your ears? And ask them about ETD...

Contrast, I have had multiple hearing tests done, one which was a week after exposure showed damage at 8kHz but then one 2 months after showed no damage and my hearing was classified as exceptional in both ears.

Contrast, Yes I attended a concert where I stood too close to the speakers exactly a year ago to this day. That most likely caused it but there is a possibility that fluid in my ear may be amplifying it somewhat

So I got tinnitus from a concert a year ago, been pretty stable apart from recently due to stress. However, I’ve always thought my tinnitus was from noise trauma, I’ve incurred no NIHL, and I’ve also got a clicky jaw and my ears crack when I swallow. Went to the doctors and it turns out I have...

So my tinnitus started almost a year ago, it’s gotten to the point where I wouldn’t classify myself as having it anymore. But recently due to stress with my girlfriend I’ve been feeling incredibly anxious, this has inevitably caused me to be anxious about my tinnitus. I keep hearing or think I...

Agrajag, I’m planning on wearing in ears as well as over ear headphones!

So I got tinnitus in October of 2017, I’ve been super careful and it’s gone completely now (well 99.9% or at least to the pint where I may as well not have it), or I can only hear it in complete silence, even if I plug my ears outside I can’t really hear it. My girlfriend like me isn’t into...

Hi New Guy! Yeah of course! It was a music concert where i stood very close to the front about 6ft from the speakers for about 2 hours

I got Noise induced Tinnitus almost a year ago (11/10/17). Since then it's gotten to the point where I cannot hear it unless I’m in complete silence, and even then I think now I’m just listening for things. I’d say I’m 99.9% there, not total silence but close enough (touch wood). For those...

I thought how could I live with it etc etc, but I can honestly say it doesn’t affect me anymore. It took some getting used to but I living an amazing life and I’m genuinely happy. I’m not More or less happy than I was before and I only here mine when I’m alone or sleeping (touchwood) so to me...

so, long story short I got noise induced tinnitus in October. Took about a month for me to come to terms with it and since about December I’ve been back to normal and living an amazing life! Never gets me down anymore and I’m super positive about it all! Hooray! Tonight though something odd...

Amen. This is exactly how I feel. You can let it destroy you or make you note determined to be a success and not let it stop you. Sure I have my bad days and weeks but I won't let it stop me from fulfilling my goals

I'm sure you'll be fine! Its only been a few days! Try not to focus on it, I see it like your nose, you can always see the end of your nose no matter what so your brain filters it out. Try not to focus on it because youll find if you keep paying attention to it you'll keep hearing it. Best of...

Hey guys, I got noise induced tinnitus on the 11th October this year, at first it was really hard to deal with and I had the usual 2 weeks of sitting in bed crying and doing nothing. Eventually though it started improving and got to the point a week ago where I put my ear to the pillow and...

Hey guys :) so my story is as follows, I went to a club last Tuesday (09/10) and then a concert the day after and stood around 6ft from the speakers (also it wasn't a particularly loud concert) (10/10) after which my ears started ringing a lot. It was very loud and I could hear it over speech...
