I have a high pitch tone in my right ear, and occasionally, especially in the morning but lately at night too, I hear a low grumbling sound and I cannot hear the frequency externally generated from my noise masking speaker. At first, the low pitch sound scared me, but now I'm wondering if it is...

I'm not sure what you mean by "ear fullness" but I think I might have that. Feels like my ears are stuffed or something? In the morning I can barely hear the faint masking sound that I had on all night. I really should give ear plugs a try.

I had a dream last night where I thought my tinnitus went away and I was walking around in silence. Now that I'm awake I can't imagine silence. The brain is weird. Incidentally, it was also the first time I took this new supplement to help me sleep... Magnesium with bentonite, hyssop, and...

Don't the 1% control the whole world? In the U.S. Henry Ford created the 40 hour work week and nobody seems to think that should be reduced 100 years later.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm thinking it's proximity. My acoustic trauma was being within 10 inches of a power saw and other power tools that could be heard a mile away. So even though a concert is loud, normally people do not have their ears within 10 inches of the source of the...

My wife also can't sleep without ear plugs. I think she has hyperacusis. She said when she was a teenager she'd stand next to speakers at concerts intentionally in order to hear her ears ringing the next day... but she doesn't have T, just sensitivity to sounds now. Makes me wonder if it...

Last week I was feeling really bad. Not only the tinnitus, but basically because I've accomplished very little of what I wanted in life. The tinnitus is just like the final straw. But, then I remembered some advice given below regarding Gratitude. Remembering to feel gratitude for the things...

I use the Alexa speaker. I have a Sound Oasis too but find the Alexa easier to use with voice control (need to make sure it's on loop mode). I have trouble finding the right buttons on the Sound Oasis at night. Rarely I'll use both at the same time if there's more than one thing I want to...

I'm surprised how few people voted ALWAYS. I always play "Blue Noise by White Noise from Spotify" on my Alexa speaker. It masks it perfectly, but I might give ear plugs a try. I would think it would make things worse but who knows. I remember the first couple days after my injury that I did...

I think Warren should win. It seemed odd that Warren brought up something Bernie said privately, seeing as how it can't be proved, but apparently Warren thought it was important enough to address. Regardless, it's time to have a woman president. Democrats should just keep running women until...

I've always voted for Democratic Presidential candidates, but here is a counter argument against Bernie: https://gregolear.substack.com/p/bern-after-reading-i-recognize-the It asserts that Bernie, like Trump, is a Russian active measure in addition to being supported by the NRA. Not to say...

Seeing the horse reminded me of this music from Red Dead Redemption:

I'm imagining it for the most part. I'll talk to my doctor again. I know the ENT would not prescribe anything, but maybe that's normal.

That's a good point, but I would like to see if my anxiety can be reduced. I also had issues I wanted to talk to a psychologist about before the T came along and sidelined things.

1) I also have less respect for doctors. If they do not know how to understand people who have T then they should refer me elsewhere. 2) I used to want to get old and retire someplace quiet in the country. Now I'm really thinking a loud city would be ok or above a bar. 3) This problem...

I'm not very hopeful, but does anyone have advice on finding a doctor or psychologist who understands what it's like to have tinnitus? I've been to ENT's and they are useless. Has anyone tried online psychologists, for instance? I have other things I'd like to talk about, but it would be nice...

Good evening. I just saw an interesting video on YouTube where Jack Conte, Patreon co-founder, claimed his tinnitus went away as a result of a 1 month 10k step challenge. I apologize for the giant thumbnail this creates, but here is where he makes that claim, after the 12 minute mark:

I'm not an expert, so I'm just wondering if hearing loss and tinnitus are exactly the same thing in this context. Could the guinea pigs hearing loss be related to eardrum damage, for instance, rather than inner ear damage. At any rate, I think most doctors are just arrogant control freaks so...

More sleep results in noticeably less tinnitus for me. 8+ hours. Otherwise, it's probably more a matter of cutting back on things. I don't have any issues with a little wine or beer, but I can't drink straight whisky anymore... used to love it. Cleansing the body might be a good start. I...

Hi all, I've got a second low wavering hum while sleeping now. The usual tone is consistent and high pitched, like a florescent light. The new tone at first sounded like the springs in my mattress vibrating... but I don't have a spring mattress. I wake up at 3am and it persists until I...

My ENT recommended over-the-counter lipoflavenoids. I know they aren't well regarded here, but he insisted they have clinically proven results. So 7 months ago I tried lipoflavenoids, and since I was not 'cured', I then tried my own concoctions, but I'm not a pharmacist. So this evening I...

I just searched for this thread because I think snoring is a trigger for me. I'm surprised more people aren't looking into this. I installed the SnoreLab app on my phone, and I think there is a correlation between how much I snore and tinnitus when I wake up. I'm trying to lose weight to reduce...

Even though this is an old post, I thought I'd mention that zinc plus Omega 3 seems to be working for me. It's only been about a week, Fish oil, zinc, and vitamin D. Bear in mind I'm not a doctor or qualified to give medical advice, but taking an "effective" dose of Omega 3 might be the key...

First off I want to clarify that I know that I have actual sound damage, and that at least is real. And I know many people might have more serious ear issues. But the psychological component is hard to ignore. Based on the timeline of events, I incurred sound damage on a Sunday and after...

Last night I got high before watching Avengers: Infinity War (a weak sativa strain with seeds in it) so whatever spike there might have been was masked by the movie, and it was fun noticing new plot elements I never noticed before. I slept with cicidas sound therapy and when I woke up I think...

@Em1ly There is a forum group here dedicated to success stories: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/forums/success-stories.47/ I've only had T for about 13 days so I don't have much advise to give. I feel like drinking diminishes the brain's ability to do whatever it needs to do. But interestingly...

I have just one metal filling and maybe one white filling, don't remember about the second one. I actually think my T is due mostly to noise trauma from using a circular saw, so I'm not even sure if the TMJ caused it or if a coincidence they happened roughly the same time.

Yeah, I should not rely on the mouthguard to do all the work for me. I really need to do some meditative exercises, which has always been hard for me. That's probably part of the problem right there. Thanks.

My dentist (ie hygienist) has said repeatedly that I grind my teeth and that I should have a mouth guard. Now that I have developed tinnitus, that's a done deal. Apparently I grind my teeth pretty bad so my jaw is hurting, probably have TMJ, which can't be good. Beyond that, I had a thought...

@Lane I just got back from the dentist. They are going to fit me for a night guard to prevent teeth grinding which probably causes me TMJ. I have no cavities or infection, though, according the the xray. This was my last of 5 days using prednisone, so I'm afraid it might get worse tomorrow...

Hi Val, my ENT insisted I take Lipoflavenoids but I would have preferred to try NAC supplements, which he knew nothing about, but they seem to get good reviews here. I also liked a recent show on Netflix with Steve Martin (who has T) and Martin Short. People with T seem more alert, so I guess...

Quick update. Tinnitus seems to be fading but I'm not out of the woods yet. I've been trying to do a lot of things differently. - Eating a lot of apples since fruit was direly missing from my diet. - trusting in habituation, and eliminating stressful thoughts related to a recent career change...

My thoughts, after only 7 days, is that silence is overrated. I came back from the ENT and I do not have any hearing loss. He told me to take 20mg Prednisone for 5 days and Flavinoid vitamins. He said it will probably go away (or might, not sure) but I'm honestly not holding my breath...

Wow. This is interesting. I got a message from my mom who said... "Sorry but I have had it for years. Dad thinks he has it a little. From what I have heard and read, there is nothing we can do about it. I have become used to it and forget I have it until like now when I am reminded." So...

I appreciate the encouragement, and didn't want to appear like chicken little. I just wanted to touch base and keep the forum posted on what happens. Since so many people have this, I thought it was likely, and I'm trying to find out if anyone else in my family has it. I'm feeling pressure in...

Hello, I started experiencing a gentle ringing in my ears last Monday morning, and based on what I've been reading I'm afraid it might be permanent. I'm not sure whether it was power tools, or if I have some sort of infection. I'm going to make an ENT appointment tomorrow. I went to the doctor...
