    Petition (Closed): We Need a Cure for Tinnitus

    I saw this a little late, it's already closed but thanks for coming up with such an initiative! Maybe we can go for something similar in other countries, too. I live in Turkey and there are almost eighty million people here but the number of people who are both tinnitus sufferers and are...

    What Might Cause Ear Fluttering / Contracting? I'm Not Sure?

    I don't think fluttering is only due to anxiety/psychological reasons. When my ears fluttered, I wasn't excited at all. I didn't fear any sound at all. I was talking on the phone and it was quite an enjoyable phone call. I totally wanted to hear the person on the phone. But the sound came and...

    What Might Cause Ear Fluttering / Contracting? I'm Not Sure?

    Hmm, one more thing: I feel a flutter sometimes when I put my head on the pillow. I feel it more when I squize my jaw! :wideyed: I thought maybe it's because of a machine that's working inside of my building or something but now I think it comes from my own ear/head!

    What Might Cause Ear Fluttering / Contracting? I'm Not Sure?

    Haha, I laughed at this, I don't know if I should be sorry >.< I studied physiology also, and have a rough idea how much of a silly machine our bodies are. It makes me laugh how part of us got broken and is now making weird things :giggle:...I think it's the same with me, though. If I'm at a...

    I'm a Mess :(

    Hang in there, I'm a mess, too. We have a story in Turkey: One man fell from a horse. People tried to call him a doctor. He stopped them and said "Also bring me someone who fell from a horse previously!"...My point is, I can get you. T is suffocating sometimes. Yoga class sounds good! I think...

    What Might Cause Ear Fluttering / Contracting? I'm Not Sure?

    Something similar (or the same, I'm not sure) happened to me when I put my mobile on speaker mode and the person I was talking to sounded really loud. It began fluttering inside my ears, I guess I can describe it like that. It was like a machine working rythmically and fast. I freaked out! I...

    Ohh, I like girl who leapt through time! :) Didn't know summer wars is by the same guy. *watchlist* Hmm, I like lots of stuff because I watch also series and I watch all genres. I have a special love for sci-fi, like Ghost in the Shell for TV. And I might have watched everything labeled josei...

    Tinnitus and Computers

    Actually we didn't go because I was prescribed an MRA and a doppler. But the nature is amazing there :) There are mountains, olive trees and great beaches. One of my fave places on earth. I agree that posture can be a culprid btw. Everyone spends hours and hours sitting in the same position.

    Tinnitus and Computers

    But I remember reading an established professor from Europe saying people were coming to him with rashes on their face and he came to the conclusion that the rashes were from spending too much time in front of old-type computer screens. These people were employees from call centres etc. who had...

    Low-Cholesterol Diet and Antilipid Therapy in Managing Tinnitus and Hearing Loss

    Diet is indeed a challenge but if it means the T might get less, it might be worth it (plus the added health benefits). Or maybe the key is sports? "Regular participation in physical activity as well as a single exercise session can positively alter cholesterol metabolism (Durstine & Haskell...

    Low-Cholesterol Diet and Antilipid Therapy in Managing Tinnitus and Hearing Loss

    I don't know if anyone posted this study before. The link between blood lipids and tinnitus is important. I developed tinnitus while I was on a very low carb (and low calorie) diet, which rises your blood lipid levels. Be careful about your cholesterol, folks! Low-Cholesterol Diet and Antilipid...

    Tinnitus and Computers

    When my folks said "Let's go to the summerhouse!" in February, I said no way but now...Maybe it's a good idea to leave my laptop at home and go no-tech at a quiet place!...Just that I'm scared I'll go crazy. My work is on my laptop, part of my hobbies are, I communicate to my bf through it...

    What Hobbies Do You Have? (and Does Tinnitus Interfere?)

    I'm also scared of going to the movies! What to do? We can't postpone it forever...I thought of wearing the right side of my earphone when I go to the theatre since my T is on the right side.

    What Hobbies Do You Have? (and Does Tinnitus Interfere?)

    I write, I compose, I'm into digital arts, and I love doing anything involving the sea: Swim, dive, boat trips, walk on the beach...I plan to write a story about tinnitus. I think it can be a good way to get people to know about our problem. About composing, I'm dead scared tinnitus will take...

    Sleep Acts as Off/On Switch for Tinnitus

    I've had some cicada singing sounds in my right ear for as long as I can remember. Sometimes, when I just woke up in the mornings, I would feel something I could only describe as "I think I'm dead." I didn't think on what that was till my tinnitus changed character and became a nightmare two...

    How Does Your Life Partner React to Your Tinnitus?

    My boyfriend is sorry but calm about it. We have a long distance relationship right now, so he doesn't live with me 24/7, though...Tinnitus created a huge sleeping problem for me. I already had sleeping problems though, so he's used it...I don't use white noise right now. When I tell my bf a...

    I see. Happy that you're better :) You know, I've taken Physiology courses and saw that everything that goes wrong in a body is actually quite simple to understand. Just research has to be done. Hope the reasons for our troubles are found soon :)

    Hello :) I want to ask something, hope it doesn't make you sad. I saw some of your posts by chance and, were you eating enough when your T started? My T started while I was on a very strict diet, trying to get rid of my insomnia by creating sensitivity to insulin. I began to sleep but I was...

    People Who Are Tinnitus Sufferers, But Without Hearing Loss!

    1. It started one late night when I closed the laptop and got up to go to bed. I wasn't especially depressed or anything but I was on a strict diet which I'll probably regret for the rest of my life. I was around 47 kgs and I felt weak. 2. As a kid I had a middle ear infection. But the right...

    Fluctuating (Reactive) Tinnitus Questions

    I wanna ask something after seeing "reactive tinnitus". Apart from my normal T sounds, I hear a beep whenever there's an outside sound or when I make a move. Part of my T reacts directly to sound. Like a door gets shut, it goes "beep". I breathe deeply or move my arm, it goes beep. I click the...

    Collective Mass Suicide

    I have another idea. I'm good with writing. Why don't we write a story about tinnitus? Or if there are more talented people amoung us, why not a movie/book about it? Making people aware comes in many forms. It can be fun, too.

    Aww, thanks for the hug. It was probably random but I can use all the support I'm given :) Tinnitus is hard to deal with, especially when you don't know what causes it.
