A bit of a spike from a wedding I attended, I was doing so well. Pray that I can get back to my normal in the next few days

Not sure if it’s just a good day but I’ve been at a 1/10 for T all day :)

I've checked out the posts I could find in here but I was searching for something more specific I guess. I know it's a hard ask since everyone is different. Thank you for letting me know about your experience!

just a bump

Hi everyone. I've been struggling with acoustic trauma induced tinnitus now for almost 3 years and I'm at a point where it's pretty livable for me. My doctor prescribed Bupropion XL tablets at 150 mg for my ADHD and depression symptoms. I'm looking into side effects and one would be ringing in...

I passed my 2 year mark a month back, still have T. Doesn’t rule my life anymore, will never stop missing headphones haha

Going in a for a hearing test but the virus chaos stopped my appointment :’( Good time to stay away from noise tho

I like leaving myself personal updates here. Doing ok, no longer get ear pain, just low T

I really miss headphones :(

Hello TT, hope everyone is doing ok. Take care of yourselves.

having less random pains when exposed to too much loud noise. Still have earplugs but it’s nice to not have to suffer if Im not fast enough.

Hello, checking in again. Ive been having a problem where 1 ear canal feels hot & hurts sometimes. Normally it’s on days when T is louder

Pretty shitty of T to get louder when you’re stressed, bc of course it would. thanks T

I want to say I can only hear the T now in a quiet room! Knock on wood but the improvement feels so good

Anniversary with T was yesterday. I tried to do something fun instead of thinking about it. Hopefully by next May 19th it’ll be a whisper

My job’s new office has an air system that’s louder than my T, it’s the little things lol

Doing alright lately, quieter. almost time for my first tinnitus anniversary :’T

Playing video games is one of the only ways I can fully ignore the tinnitus. It takes almost my full attention and it’s kind of soothing.

Small update: some days I don’t notice it, some days I hyper-focus on it. Finally can fall asleep without a noise in the bg to distract me

Happy New Years y’all, take care of yourselves please

It’s only been 6 months by now but I’m still chugging along ok, hope for the best in all of y’all

Spike?? Ok T I thought we were chill

Now four months in, pissed I have this in the first place but what can ya do

Finally feeling ok

Tinnitus has become quiet hissing/crackling in the past week. Hopefully some sort of hurdle has been reached

I think I’m doing ok habituating, I come on here less but still check in on some of you :)

Was accustomed to a certain low hissing but randomly got a new ringing noise. Noooot happy about it.

I will say that about two days later it has quieted down to its normal hissing. I even took multiple flights between these two days (with ear plugs) and nothing changed. I’m sure this was just some extreme anxiety situation but being only one month into this tinnitus thing every noise feels...

@Davey126 That's pretty comforting to hear. My anxiety is definitely ramped up so hopefully it’s mostly that right now. I’ll see how it is in the morning. And yes... time to bring my earplugs in my car.

@attheedgeofscience I feel you and my fault and all that but not helpful after the fact.

So I ran into a huge hurdle today where my car got stuck on the side of a busy road and I was outside fixing it so I could make it home. There was a ton of noise and honking at me (I’m already having trouble as you can see thanks) After about 15 minutes I was able to get back into my car and...

Decreasing in volume, ear fullness sticking around

Your T experience sounds very similar to mine minus the hearing loss. Mine was so loud in the beginning that looking back after my first month I notice it’s so quiet that I can only hear it in a quiet room. While it is a possibility that T can stick new people shouldn’t completely give up hope...

How you doin bud?

Congrats! I hope the trend continues and you can have your deserved break

Well nothing really bad happened, too nervous to listen loudly

Tinnitus is pretty quiet today, almost tempted to throw on the headphones

Got a message that the work fire alarm went off, glad I worked from home today lol

Boy I miss caffeine

TMJ is strange (I have it yay) you can have the popping symptoms and not have it be a problem for you. There’s a good chance the muscles around your ear are inflamed due to the infection/irritation and might need some calming down with a few an anti inflammatory meds. TMJ is due to said joint...

I feel I’m hearing a new sound, not as high pitched as before

Thanks guys for the welcome, Fish I understand why you say that about measuring time but I really do it decreases in volume a bit. It’s louder than my fridge rn I’ve noticed the stress makes it louder though that’s hard to avoid atm Staying away from loud is easy for me, avoiding caffeine is...

Hello @Bill Bauer it’s actually been only the 2 weeks. After the initial dip in volume I haven’t noticed a change unless I try my hardest to not let it bother me. I don’t listen to music very loud, I’ve been avoiding headphones for now after reading some stories here. So my speakers are...

I’ve been lurking around on this site for the past few days and I felt it would be some comfort to at least introduce myself and accept this part of my life now. The ringing in both my ears was noticed dirrectly after a concert, it was my second ever so I was pretty pissed when I realized...
