I have slept with earplugs every night for the last twenty years. I have a big tub of foam earplugs that I keep handy. I cannot sleep if I hear any kind of ambient noise. I just think that over time, I've become hyper vigilant toward noise. If I hear anything, it pulls me out of sleep. Even...

I haven't had it for 50 years, that I know of (I'm 52), but I have had it as long as I can remember, so 40+ years. TBH, I have thought more about my tinnitus since getting onto this group, than I have in a long time. It has gotten worse over time and I'm starting to wonder if I'm suffering...

Since when do you have tinnitus? Ever since I can remember. At least 35 years. How loud is your tinnitus? I've never had a hearing test or tried to figure it out. Sometimes it is louder than others. Right now it's a high pitched whistle of multiple frequencies. The TV is on and I can hear...

Yea. I have an underlying high pitched whistle/hum, and it it surrounded by different pitched noises, all higher than the underlying sound.

I do not have a dog. I have Misophonia and one of my major annoyance triggers is dog barking. I don't like it when people have dogs that live outdoors because generally those are the dogs that annoyingly bark non-stop and generally owners just let them do it with no regard for those around...

Mine's primarily in my left ear. I sleep mostly on my right side, though I do flip around a bit.

Not even a little. I think that people convince themselves that stuff like that exists, and then the symptoms/side effect follow. The mind is a powerful thing. We view reality through the filter of our mind, and it seems likely that our beliefs can influence what we see, hear, and feel.

I have no idea, as I have had it ever since I can remember. If I had to guess, it was caused by my first concert (Rush, 1981). I remember being on the train headed home and barely being able to hear. Sounds were muffled and I felt like I had cotton in my ears. That's just a guess, though...

I've found this site fascinating and am really learning a lot about how people respond to this disorder. I was telling my wife about it and she told me that she has always had "ringing in her ears", ever since she can remember. I have whistling in mine, and whistling is something that is easy...

I've thought more about my tinnitus in the last couple of week since finding this site, than I have in the many years prior. Had it all of my life. It's gotten worse over the years for sure. I decided to try and research ways to make it better or at least quiet it to what it used to be, and...

I've been sleeping with foam earplugs for the last twenty years, give or take. I can't sleep if I'm able to hear any external noise, including my wife breathing. I can't sleep with sound machines or white noise generators (wife uses one). Part of it is because I've been using earplugs for...

I've been a vegetarian for 20 years. I am not a vegan. I eat dairy products. I am not sure if I could live without cheese. I will have to look into zinc supplements. I've tried B12 and had no luck. No luck with magnesium, either. I might not have tried them as long as I should have...

I don't remember a time when I didn't have it. Maybe I didn't have it when I was a little kid but don't remember much from that long ago. It's gotten worse over the years but often I don't notice it. It's been a background noise for so much of my life that I don't often notice it. It gets...

Hi, I just found this group. I have been a lifelong sufferer, or at least for as long as I can remember. I don't remember a time when I didn't at least have this a little bit. It's been getting louder, though, and I'm starting to look into it more. I have tinnitus, mostly in my left ear. I...
