    "Feeling" of Ringing

    I think I've spent the passed 15 hours looking into how peoples lives are with hydrops and menieres and everything to prepare for the worst... Not even a joke. I've been at the point of anxiety where I feel like I'm about to vomit for each of those hours as well. Haven't been this panicked in...

    "Feeling" of Ringing

    My balance is as it always was which is pretty good considering the activities I do / did. I also don't have hearing loss and my tinnitus is still around the same as usual with a SLIGHT increase in the passed day which is again intermittent and most likely due to my anxiety going through the...

    "Feeling" of Ringing

    I will be seeing the ENT this week. The thing is worrying about nothing is my specialty :) Also how does one get checked for hydrops, as far as I'm aware it's diagnosis by elimination. I'm hoping it's due to inflammation, some benadryl helped a bit but not fully.

    "Feeling" of Ringing

    Talking about electricity actually kind of sparks (haha) an idea. It kind of feels like a very low voltage shock (kind of like when you lick a 9V) but in my ear canal minus the pain. It kind of feels a little tense and tickles but in an irritating way (kind of like the 9V) but absolutely no pain...

    "Feeling" of Ringing

    That's the weird part. So when I get spikes in tinnitus occasionally it's accompanied by a weird feeling for a few seconds, something that is almost like a tickle, maybe something vibrating the nerve. That's kind of the irritated feeling I'm getting right now. You could be completely right, and...

    "Feeling" of Ringing

    Thanks for the info. I looked into Hyperacusis but sound doesn't bother me really. Sounds are all normal, I get the occasional ear pain but I've had that long before this started. I tend to get inflammation in my ears and sinuses often due to my horrible allergies. As for the muscle, maybe not...

    "Feeling" of Ringing

    Oh and the feeling is worse while wearing my headset and hearing sound through my headset.

    "Feeling" of Ringing

    It's kind of weird because generally speaking I don't feel it when I have a spike. Occasionally I do thought however I'm currently not having a spike. :dunno:

    "Feeling" of Ringing

    Anymore insight to this? It's kind of giving me the feeling like when you're about to vomit and you squint your eyes. On top of that it feels like theres major ringing but is none. Just before in my right ear it sounded like someone kicked my ear drum for a split second however my tinnitus is...

    "Feeling" of Ringing

    Yeah kinda like that. Lately my headset has been irritating my ears too. Kind of like they're tired. It's not pain or anything just when I have my headset on I get sick of hearing music and things like my ears need to relax or something.

    "Feeling" of Ringing

    Anyone else ever get the feeling of tinnitus without the actual ringing? It's hard to explain. My tinnitus is pretty settled at a mild tone but I get an irritated feeling quite often. Kind of like when I get a spike I can almost feel the ringing, it's basically the same as when I get this...

    Questions About Tinnitus

    It was pretty damn loud, not enough to make me go off the deep end but loud enough I wanted to rip my ears off my head. Denial no, if I have this minor T the rest of my life I wouldn't mind it. Just the worry it brings about worsening and the aforementioned things. My anxiety is my biggest issue...

    Questions About Tinnitus

    Not sure. My results came back perfect, though I don't know what ranges I was tested at. The mild tinnitus I have is very strange. It seems to change in the weirdest ways in terms of sometimes rapidly changing ears, sometimes I can't tell if it's there or not and I'll hear it and then when I...

    Questions About Tinnitus

    Another odd thing, sometimes it rapidly changes ears. My left ear will be silent, right ringing then it'll switch every like 10 minutes. Woke up with what seems to be TMJ as I have crackling in my jaw, had this before. Doctor said I had a bit of TMJ a while back. This is only the 2nd time I've...

    Questions About Tinnitus

    Yeah that's what I'm trying right now, it works pretty well! That second part is interesting, makes sense because I guess the anxiety would bring it into your focus. Another thing I should add is sometimes I wake up and it's blaring for about an hour not sure why. This happens RARELY but in the...

    New to Tinnitus — Some Questions — Need Advice

    I can't really offer better advice than fishbone did however I can share my first run-in with tinnitus. When I first got my tinnitus it was relatively loud, high-pitched and intrusive. Mixing the tinnitus with my anxiety kind of scared me a LOT. It was up and down for the first roughly 2 weeks...

    Questions About Tinnitus

    So a bit of back story. I first got tinnitus after listening to loud music through my earphones a few years back. It was bad for 2-3 days then it went down and almost completely gone. After a few years it's extremely quiet. I only hear it when I have headphones in (with nothing playing), plugged...

    Tinnitus and Anxiety Medications

    That's was actually quite a good read. Your perspective on anxiety and depression is actually interesting and I feel like it's actually quite accurate. I definitely feel like my environment plays a HUGE factor in my anxiety. I basically live in chaos living in the city. Everything is messy...

    Tinnitus and Anxiety Medications

    I spoke to a therapist ONE time after going through a month long process (it wasn't a private therapist) and their times were insane. They wanted me to come in for each session around 7 AM and that was just not going to be possible. I did however speak with the psychiatrist and they recommended...

    Tinnitus and Anxiety Medications

    Are there any serious side effects if any at all? Also is there any risk of it increasing tinnitus? If you don't know off the top of your head that's fine, I'll look into some more but this sounds pretty promising. Lately hope has been a wishy washy thing. Every time I think I find a possible...

    Tinnitus and Anxiety Medications

    I'll take a look at all of this. That's actually really ineresting, a bit odd on the coffee bit. I definitely want to look into this more, sparked an interest in why that works. Fillings, I do indeed have fillings. How could I determine if that is the cause of the issue or maybe a contributing...

    Tinnitus and Anxiety Medications

    I'll look into this, thanks. Money isn't an issue with treatment, if it'll help then I'm more than willing to spend the money. I'll give the Inositol a go. Just to be sure, the anxiety isn't caused by the tinnitus it was pre-existing. This will still help in the same way, right?

    Tinnitus and Anxiety Medications

    I'm open to anything, actually I should have made it clear that I'm more open to natural remedies than I am with drugs. I'd love to hear anything you can recommend. Thanks.

    Tinnitus and Anxiety Medications

    I'm a 21 year old male. I've suffered from anxiety for the last ~3 years. It's become better and worse in a lot of aspects. I'm feeling the constant restlessness that I'd like to stop. I've been to several psychiatrists and have been told to go on SSRIs. Now here is the kicker, I also have a...
