Hey, guys. I thought I'd give a little update on my tinnitus. It's still there but over the past week I completely forgot about it. I hadn't even noticed it until last night and that was the first time since last week I used a nature sound playlist to help me fall asleep. One of my children were...

My tinnitus seems to be back again but I haven't been as busy today as usual. It still seems to come and go in waves. Sometimes it is louder than other times and sometimes I can't hear it all. I ended up rescheduling my therapist appointment for next week because of the cost. I'm trying to stay...

Hahaha! That's actually a good place to start. my linen closet looks like a Bed, Bath and Beyond tornado went through it.

I'm definitely going to try. I don't have much to do today so I'm not sure if it will be as easy as yesterday. I'm going to try and keep some music playing in the house and find something to clean. lol

Another Update: Yesterday the tinnitus hardly bothered me.Not to say it wasn't there but it didn't seem to interfere with my day(I also didn't listen for it) I managed to keep my mind occupied with day-to-day stuff and I noticed that yoga really helped to calm my nerves. Even though I could...

This makes me feel a bit hopeful. I have been very cautious with the Ativan. I only take a quarter of one at a time because I know how addicting it can be. I also only take it when I'm desperate for some relaxation, i.e. at bedtime. But not daily. The only other meds I have taken are flonase...

Update: I am still experiencing tinnitus though, it isn't constant. It comes and goes but is mostly during the evening when I begin to hear the loud electrical-signal sounding noises. Sometimes they are loud, sometimes they are easily masked. My face is still tingly, too. Which leads me to...

Thank you, @fishbone

anndd it's back. Great.

Thank you for your response! I'm not sure if the caffeine has been affecting my tinnitus of if is affecting my anxiety and, in turn, my tinnitus. lol. I'd hate to cut out my morning coffee. :) So far this morning, I can't hear the high-pitched piercing screech. I'm hoping it stays this way but...

Hey @Tinker Bell Last night it seemed like another sound was introduced into the mix of the already there sound. Like a high-pitched screech similar to the ambient sound that running electronics would make or the noise from a dead silent room. If that makes sense? I'd gotten used to the...

Thank you! I'm already in therapy to try and cope with my anxiety. I haven't discussed the tinnitus yet though because it just started.

I don't think he's lying. He has worked construction since he was 16. It makes sense. Plus, I know when my husband is lying.

Update: Before I tucked myself into bed last night and after I had a mental breakdown to my husband (during which he told my he has had tinnitus for YEARS and never told me) I plugged in a small fan to drown out that dreaded noise. It worked. I was able to drift off to sleep. This morning I...

Thank you, @fishbone Honestly, I have a phobia of most medicines of any kind anyway. Except for the occasional tylenol. I guess most of the stress and anxiety has came from the appt cost and the thought that it could be something serious? I mean, the ringing is annoying but I feel like if I was...

Yeah. I have no other symptoms. You're probably right. I'm going to keep the appt for now and see how I feel in the morning. If it's gotten worse or I have new symptoms, I might just go ahead and try to go.

Honestly, I just listened for it again. It doesn't seem as loud as before. I'm hoping it will be gone by tomorrow and I can skip that expensive appointment. Part of me just wants to cancel altogether and tough it out on my own. I mean, is it really worth the 150$ to just be told to deal with it?

Thank you, @jjflyman that is very comforting. Also, I love the Doctor Who logo!

lol @Sam Bridge

Thanks, guys for your support and advice. I'm feeling a little better now. The ringing is still there but I've been trying to preoccupy myself and it's not as unnerving. I might try and do some yoga to relax. I emailed my doc about the anxiety. Hopefully she can call something in. Thanks again

Thank you! I'll look into it.

Thank you for your advice. My health anxiety tends to make me gravitate towards the worse case scenario even though I know, somewhere in the logical part of my brain, that it's not as bad as it seems. I'll be sure to read though those links! Thanks so much!

Thanks for your advice. I am not sure of the cause but I suspect that it is either related to seasonal allergies or it has something to do with the recurring infections? I did attend a heavy metal concert recently but that was over a week ago. I don't know if that would result in a ringing that...

Last night, I noticed a faint ringing in my left ear. At first, I thought the sound was emanating from the air vent but I soon realized that it was coming from within my own ear. Now, I'm familiar with an occasional ear ringage. You know, the ones that come out of nowhere and quickly subside...
