Yes my hearing loss is negligible, however what worries me is the acute decrease in hearing by 1khz in the left ear. App may be inaccurate to measure exact frequency, however should be accurate enough to show difference between left and right. I have tested with several other frequency tools...

Thanks for the info and support. The dental work was a tooth inplant, on the right upper side. Major work however did not involve any loud drilling. No inflamation as far as I am aware of. Wondered if it could be Corona, however I have no symptoms. TMJ; yes could be the reason for increased...

Hi all. Two and a half years in, got tinnitus after shooting range incident and/or stress, exact cause unknown. Slight hearing loss both sides, 20 dB at 8 kHz in right ear, 25 dB at 8 kHz in left ear. Could hear both sides up to 10500 Hz, in mobile app. Could hear cicadas both ears. Happy with...

Many thanks for the positive post Dmitriy. When did you notice it started to fade? Also I wonder how old you are? At a younger age it seems it can get better more quickly than when one is older.

I've been riding motorbikes for some 40 years now (not Harleys). The loud pipes are a Harley tribal thing. The original quiet mufflers are thrown in the bin and they fit some nasty low-quality open systems instead. They think it's cool and antisocial, and they love to pretend to be antisocial...

Today I had a chat with a co-worker, and he told me that he had T some 3-4 years back, and that it went away. I have worked with him for quite some years and didn't have a clue. I remember he was away from work for some months, but didn't know why. He said it was induced by medication, and that...

Hi all. I see that this guy has put out a lot of YouTube videos lately, where he claims that he has a recipe for making tinnitus better or to cure it. Not a lot of substance in his videos nor on his website, however it seems to consist mainly of fasting and diets. He claims he has 'cured' some...

Hi all. I see often that people here refer to their tinnitus as 'level 2', or 5, or 9. I find it difficult to relate to. Zero is obvious, but what is a 1, and what is a 10 then? How do I tell what level my tinnitus is, if someone should ask?

Whenever I use my headphones it's always on low volume.

I read on this forum that some people advise against using headphones, even at low volume. I cannot understand why. If the volume is low, how could it be a problem? I work in a noisy office environment and have to use headphones to be able to concentrate. Also I use them for masking my tinnitus.

Hi all fellow TT members. I went to southern Italy for two weeks, and boy was that a relief :). I got some time off work, and there are a lot more noises outdoors in Italy than up here in northern Europe. The sounds of the sea and the cicadas were very soothing, to the point that I almost could...

Could it be the noise cancelling headphones are more quiet than ordinary ones, and that some people notice a T that was there previously but was masked by background noise?

I have been using the Quies Natural Earplugs for 20+ years. They offer up to 27db protection and do not expand and hurt inside the ear canal like foam plugs do.

Take care of your teeth as well. In the Victorian era decaying teeth was a major health risk. I read somewhere that at was considered the #3 cause of death in that period. Dental infections can go unnoticed and can spread to other parts of the body. Dental work could also cause or worsen...

Back to topic: Take care of your lungs. They have the largest surface area of your body. Don't breathe in quartz dust, road pollution, tobacco or weed smoke, gasoline vapours, thinners, metal dust from grinding. Gasoline and thinners are cancerogens. Road dust, if it is fine enough, will enter...

I seem to have the same thing. When I listen to static noise (white/purple/pink) there is a high-pitched zinging on top. It usually goes down when the static noise stops. Sound level does not matter, it is always on top. Also background noise triggers it, wheel/engine noise when I drive my car...

I tried four chiropractor sessions for my jaw and neck. Quit because I felt no improvement,

Hi all. I have been trying a 10 kHz notched white sound track on YouTube the last two weeks. My tinnitus is around 10 kHz. I have been listening using headphones some hours every day at work, and iPhone speaker during the night, at low volumes. Haven't noticed any improvement (yet), however my...

I have tried chiropractor treatment, accupuncture and massage. Nothing alleviates this sizzling / electric sound. It spikes off car engine noise, fans, background street noise, and I can hear the zinging on top of the background noise. Mostly it goes down when the offending noise is reduced...

Yes, I have this every time I drive my car. It's a sizzling sound around 10khz. Very annoying.

Yes, exactly. It's a socially debilitating condition. You want to avoid places where people eat. Problem is when your parents/siblings/partner/kids make these noises. You can neither run away nor punch them, so you just suffer. I have had misophonia some 40+ years, long before my T.

Smacking and eating noises. Drives me crazy. Had it since I was a small kid.

Nice :). I'm a real life hunter as well, so I know the feeling.

Hi all. Are there any hunters here? I play a fantastic hunting game that came out recently; http://callofthewild.thehunter.com/en/ TheHunter - Call of the wild. The scenery is beautiful, and the sound of the nature and animals are soothing. Very easy to get immersed into this one, and forget...

Yes I went skiing :). Three mornings in a row now. Really lovely outside.

Hi all. Crispy -17c outside today, the third day in a row. I went skiing early in the morning. The sound of skis on snow is very soothing :).

Many thanks all, I'm really touched by your support. What a great forum :).

Many many thanks for the support Jason37. Really appreciated. Yes, mine is intermittent as yours. I also have ups and downs, a couple very, very low. Yesterday I really thought I was not going to survive this. Today I'm better. Trying to accept it, reconcile myself with the accident. Seems to...

Thanks for the support guys, really appreciated. Sorry for the rant, I am really low now. Never been so low. I'll go skiing now, I promise. Have to work up some endorphines. I think now it happened at the shooting range, my hearing protector wasn't fitted properly. I didn't notice anything...

Hi fellow sufferers. I know you all need support, and I wish I could give you some. That I one day could post in the Success Stories, perhaps give some of you hope. But I'm sorry I cannot offer you some, only this negativeness. But I have no one else to talk to. Five weeks in now, and it's...

Thanks for the support billie48, I clutch at every straw now. Ento

Hi all. I am new to this forum. Been lurking for a short while. Excuse my English, I'm from Central Europe, and English is not my mother language. I'm not a guy that often asks for help or advice, but now I do. First a little background. I'm in my mid-fifties, good health, quite fit, enjoy (or...
