Sorry for asking another question about visual snow and maybe you have already answered it. But, is visual snow something you had since a child or did you get it later on in your life?

I read there was a user on here that took part in the Minnesota trial which targets the thalamus. Both his tinnitus and visual snow were reduced or disappeared. So, sounds like you could be right.

Neurons misfiring/hyperactivity is definitely what causes mine. I also have visual snow and BFS. My whole body is basically misfiring and is out of sync. I never used headphones or had noise induced tinnitus. Just spontaneously came on one day after having visual snow.

Is there anyway FX-322 could help visual snow too? Every time my visual snow gets worse, my tinnitus follows the same pattern. Must be a connection there.

Hi, weird question. But. I have a new noise at the moment. If I plug my ears though. It completely goes away. I notice it also seems to respond to certain other sounds. The tinnitus that I have had long-term is constantly there and does not improve if I plug my ears. Just makes it feel much...

Just woke up and it is a lot better today. But, I can hear the click coming from my nose instead. Is this some kind of sinus pressure?

Definitely feels like a physical problem. I suffer from anxiety and muscle twitches. First time it has been this bad though. I live in the UK and my doctors is not open for appointments. All I can do is call them. Whole thing is very frustrating.

Hi, I woke up yesterday and my right ear is going crazy. It's like someone is constantly tapping a microphone 100 times a minute in my ear or a butterfly is in there flying around. I do not think it is normal tinnitus as this sound goes away if I put my finger in my ear (I can feel something...

Speaking from my own experience. The sound from that video is identical to my tinnitus and having it on a the lowest volume possible that still masks your tinnitus is ideal. Don't think it will work if you are hearing a different noise. But, I'm sure there are other sound therapies out there you...

Seeing as my tinnitus happened in mid 2017. I would buy a tonne of bitcoin as the price skyrocketed a few months later. The tinnitus itself does not bother me. So, I'd just tell myself not to panic.

I would play it from my phone. Usually put it on a nearby shelf at a low volume. Just enough to mask my tinnitus. There wasn't really a set pattern I would use. It was more of a case that I'd listen to it whenever I needed it to be honest. Whether that was night or day. Sometimes for 10 minutes...

Yes, no masking. No nothing. I'm just how I was before I had tinnitus. It's definitely still there. But, It's as if my brain has just shut out the noise.

Well, that's the sound of my tinnitus unfortunately :ROFL:. If it doesn't mask or sound similar to your own tinnitus. Then, It's probably not the right sound therapy for you to be honest.

Hi guys. Just wanted to share for you a success story as I know how terrified I was after the onset of tinnitus. You can check my history to see for yourself. I thought my life was pretty much over after all I could hear was loud hissing one night. I turned suicidal. I could not think straight...

Hi, guys. I have suffered from tinnitus for a year now. It was hard at first. But, have managed to cope with it and actually live a normal life again. Unfortunately, I was jogging the other day. Everything was fine until I heard a police siren go by. I did not think much of it. It was far away...

Hi, guys. I am actually doing really well. I have completely habutated to my original tinnitus. I do not even need any masking or aid to get to sleep anymore. Hopefully that continues for as long as possible! However I am having a slight problem with certain noises. I am hearing a distorted...

I have this really badly. My ears flutter and spasm all the time. It is usually a lot worse when I am focusing on it though or I'm having a anxious day.

It's definitely a brain issue. I have tinnitus, visual snow and BFS (benign fasciculation syndrome) all three are made worse from anxiety and stress. All three are guessed to be neurological in nature for a lot of cases. As soon as we can pin point the reason why and where our nerves are...

The study had the participants use the device for 30 minutes a day for four weeks. Once the treatments ended, though, the patients’ tinnitus returned within a week, on average. https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/health/experimental-treatment-could-help-reduce-constant-ringing-of-tinnitus-1.3746819

True. I have already habituated once. But, with two recent spikes. It's all came back with a vengence. The problem is. This new constant changing tinnitus is a lot harder to mask. So, It's staying on my mind a lot more than my old hissing sound.

Hey guys. Sorry for asking so many questions. You are probably tired of me by now. Just trying to piece everything together. Anyway, my tinnitus is normally a hiss and I've been getting a ringing recently too. But, lately the hiss has gotten very wild. Now it constantly changes from hiss to...

A&E aside. The NHS is the worst healthcare in any first world country if you have anything neurological or something not easily diagnosed. It's usually something like 3 months of bugging your gp to see a specialist, then another 3 months to actually see the specialist and then another 3 months...

What does it mean when you put your finger in your ear and you can feel something constantly vibrating and clicking as if your nerves/muscles are misfiring? In my case it never stops. Could that be the cause of my tinnitus?

This device will make them billions if they can pull it off. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Is it the currency of the future or just a ponzi scam? I have personally invested in one coin that I see big things coming from. Not too much. Just spare money here and there. Who knows. Maybe I'll be a millionaire one day lol. What do you guys think of crypto?

I do have a crackling noise coming from my ear when I chew. Maybe jaw related? I'll definitely look into going to a jaw specialist and buying a splint too. It's worth a shot. Unfortunately, I went to the cinema a lot last year and the year before. If my tinnitus is due to that. Then, I only have...

I can change my tinnitus when I clench my jaw. My hissing sound goes louder and more static.

I have been very stressed for the last year or so due to family. My health issues did not start with tinnitus. I was diagnosed with BFS first (Benign fasciulation syndrome). Another anxiety based illness. A few months later after that diagnosis. That's when the hissing came. I also went to the...

Hey guys. I have had tinnitus for about 9 months now. It has been a mild hiss in my right ear since that time. But, I woke up this morning and now I have a solid ringing noise on top of the hissing in the same ear. Seeing as It's been so long and I am getting worse. I have lost all hope and I...

Update: My spasms have calmed down a lot since I stopped focusing on them. I have had an ear MRI and Lyme disease test. Both came back normal. Although, there's still question marks over MS. I hope to have a brain and spine MRI some time this year. If that comes back normal, then, all my...

My left ear makes a huge thump/flutter whenever I talk or hear noise. It's actually much more unbearable than my tinnitus :(. My hope is that it's due to my anxiety and that it will die down. I also have BFS which probably explains why I have it.

I have tinnitus, Hyperacusis and visual snow. Visual snow is hands down the easiest to cope with. Although, I only have it mildly.

I'm really freaking out. Ever since last Friday. Everytime I hear a noise. My ear spasms. It feels like a flutter or someone beating on my eardrum. I had this before. But, it only occurred a few times a week with very select sounds. Now it is happening 24/7 with any sound. Even a door closing or...

Hey, I already have normal tinnitus. Thankfully I have learnt to cope with it and it no longer cause me any stress. The last couple of days though. My left ear keeps playing up. Everytime I talk or hear sound. It will flutter as if there's a moth in there. I did stupidly stay up until 6am the...

It will fade or you will learn to cope. I've had tinnitus for 6 months. Felt suicidal at the beginning. But, now my life feels like it was before tinnitus. You just have to stay strong and focus on the good things that you have. Definitely try find a good masking sound as well. If nights and...

Yes, I think It's like 80% of people with Visual snow also have tinnitus. Seeing as one of the main symptoms of Visual snow is floaters. I would definitely say there is a connection there.

I have had visual snow ever since I can remember. I also have BFS (benign fasciculation syndrome). Those two things are definitely related/linked to Tinnitus. Yet, according to every test and exam. I am in perfect health. It's so frustrating.

My eardrums also twitch with certain noises. As if there's a moth stuck in my ears. This started to happen just before the onset of the hissing tinnitus. We have the same noise in only one ear and similar twitches. Which is very interesting. Maybe we have the same unknown cause? I am currently...

I have the exact same sound. Like someone frying a egg in your brain or a burst pipe with steam coming out. Except that It's in my right ear. Had mine for about 6 months now. Mine has stayed at a relative stable volume. If It gets louder. It is usually due to me being stressed, anxious or ill...

Interesting. I used to be a hardcore E-cig smoker when I got my tinnitus. I also prefered PG over VG. Makes you think... Would the damage it causes be shown on a MRI?

I have been on Betahistine before. It worked wonders for my dizziness/off balance spells. Thay would completely clear up after a day as long as I kept taking it. I felt I had a spike in the volume of my tinnitus though. So, I stopped taking it. But, maybe that was a coincidence. Didn't feel like...

Thanks guys. The worst thing about tinnitus is dealing with the anxiety associated with it. I am contantly listening out for sounds. Making sure It's not in my head etc. I can only hear my normal tinnitus at the moment though. So, fingers crossed.

I had problems before tinnitus. Which leads me to believe it is all connected. However, I did watch Dunkirk at the cinema not long before I heard ringing and then I got a ear infection three months after that. I am clueless as to the cause to be honest.

Hey, sorry about creating two threads in a row. I have a MRI tomorrow. The letter says that it will be a MRI on my inner ear. I was just wondering if that scan usually includes Brain? I have quite a few neurological problems. Along with tinnitus. Would be nice to rule out MS.

Hey. I've had tinnitus for about 6 months. Not much has changed since getting it. A few spikes here and there. Along with times where it has been quiet. I can mostly cope fine. But, today. I was on a bus and my girlfriend slammed the window shut right next to me. It was super loud. I have been...

Funny enough. I actually got my tinnitus not long after watching Dunkirk at the cinema. Hmmm

Is this the first time you have had a MRI in the 9 years you've had tinnitus? I am having one in a couple of weeks. Not sure what will happen.

Anyone know what I am talking about and if there's any good maskers for this sound?

I know how you feel. Mine has also spiked recently. Feel like I have to learn to cope all over again :(

But, if I block my ears. I can not hear it? This is the weirdest tinnitus ever.

I have given up everything. I have got used to the idea that I will never enjoy life like most normal people and I am only 26.

Ok, so very recently. I can hear what appears to be some sort of engine or generator in the distance. I keep looking out my window to see if there's something there. It's super loud though and it's actually making my head feel like It's vibrating. I already had a high pitched hiss. But, this...

I was dizzy for about 2 months after a cold in November. My doctor said it was labyrinthitis and gave me naproxin and behistamine. My tinnitus was already there before those medications. Although one of them could of made it worse. I also have constant muscle twitches around my body. Including...

Yes, I have had my ears checked. No signs of wax or infection. I don't even have hearing loss. Just came overnight and never left. I wish I could keep calm. But, If I get used to this sound. I'll probably get a third noise. Feel like I am fighting a losing battle.

So, since around October last year I have had a hiss in my ear. It was very difficult to cope with it at first. But, I eventually did and my life was sort of getting back on track. The noise was still there. But, It only really became a issue at night. Fast forward to the last weekend and I am...

I hear it in my head and right ear all day. Strangely enough. My left ear has been completely fine from the start of all this. I should mention that I also have muscle problems and I can feel my muscles clicking and popping in my ears. It's almost like Morse code 24/7. Not sure if the two are...

I've only had tinnitus for about 3 months and in that time it has gone from a low hiss that I only hear when trying to get to sleep to a mild hiss that I hear any time it is quiet and I need to use background noise to get to sleep. Now recently. That mild hiss has turned very intrusive. It...

Hi, I didn't get tinnitus through being old or listening to loud music (never been to a concert in my life). I have no idea what caused it. But, It is completely in one ear. It makes a high pitch hissing sound. I've had it for a few months. The same ear will not stop crackling when I move my...

Sorry. I should have gone into a bit more detail. I meant that I was getting a lot of bug bites just before all my symptoms came about. I live next to a woodland area. Which I walk my dog through daily. Thank you for the suggestion of IgeneX. I can have the test done for £320. Which isn't too...

I'll look into that. Thank you. I am almost 90% sure my problems are all neurological though. But, I am open to trying anything at this point. I did have a few bite marks before my first symptom and I live in the British countryside. Is Lyme disease a possibility?
