    The Positivity Thread

    My T has been sounding like a soft hum of crickets instead of loud ringing for a while now and I'm very thankful for that. T is probably half the loudness as it was a month or so ago. I hope my daily jogging and eating more healthily has been paying off. Whenever I hear it, it doesn't bother me...

    From Consistent Ringing to Fizzing/Changing Pitch Crickets

    Thanks for that, I really hope it'll be gone at some point. I'm thankful at least I could still fall asleep at night because my T isn't too severe.. Let's hope it can only get better when my exams are over. That's exactly the same with me that each side is never really at the same volume/pitch...

    From Consistent Ringing to Fizzing/Changing Pitch Crickets

    Hi guys, I hope you guys are enjoying your Sunday so far :) So my T started 2 weeks ago when I woke up suddenly hearing consistent high-pitched ringing in my ear. Went to the ENT a few days in which he said it is most likely stress induced due to current exam periods. I have been keeping active...

    Stress Induced Tinnitus — Gone!

    I recently got stress-induced T as well, also because of uni stress. After a visit with ENT, I took a week where I really relaxed (as a result not getting as much work as I want to) and found that my T became quieter than it first was. Sadly this week I have a huge end-of-semester project...

    Just Recently Got Tinnitus

    I'm 26 and also just got my T 4 days ago. Also went to ENT today, coming back with no problem with hearing test and possible cause is due to stress from uni. My ENT said T should fade away when I relax more and when the exam period is over. Like others, I also believe you have a good chance your...

    Very Recent but Already Worried

    I went to see my ENT today and no, he didn't do any 'procedures' except for cleaning my ears (which was full of earwax - thus making it seem like T is louder than one ear - now it sounds equal on both) and checking my hearing (which appears perfect). He said it is most likely due to stress for...

    Thanks so much for the words of encouragement! :) I went to see my ENT today and he said the exact same thing as you. Well, other than now realizing the T is on both sides instead of terrifying one-sided (after my ear is free from earwax lol..), I'm now coping much better than a few days ago...

    I hope so. Although this morning I woke up feeling the Tinnitus is not as bad as yesterday. But worryingly, I can hear on the right side of my ear (the side that yesterday I also hear more ringing on) somewhat less than my left . I can tell just by hearing my own voice. Like it's a bit more...

    I also really hope that it's be nothing serious and that it'll fade over time. The alarm clock is seriously not loud. I used the decibel meter app on the phone to quickly check how loud it was.. it was just slightly above 82-85 dB and I immediately turned it off after 3-4 seconds or so.. which I...

    I'm definitely trying to stay calm and getting on with my day as normal as I can (even though I didn't get much sleep last night because I can hear it so clearly, especially on my right ear). Yes, definitely no headphones til then! I will be seeing my local ENT this week and fingers crossed it's...

    Hi everyone, A little background: I'm a 26 year-old avid music listener and always have my bluetooth headphones (on-ear) with me, whether it's listening while walking, on the train, at uni while working, etc. But I'm not the type to listen to loud music at all (mostly classical, jazz, show...
