    4-Month Update: I No Longer Care About My Tinnitus & Hyperacusis — I'm Back to My "Normal" State

    Sir , no offence to you , but I believe you should mind your business as to what i can and cant post. If this is a “bad service” to you it may not be a “bad service” to some. This is my story and my struggle. You have no clue what its like to live with labyrinthitis and an anxiety disorder...

    Still early days then. You’ll start to notice changes on your 3rd week onwards. Just make sure to walk and do what you would normally do. It will make you dizzy as hell , but it will be worth it.

    4-Month Update: I No Longer Care About My Tinnitus & Hyperacusis — I'm Back to My "Normal" State

    Yes. I still do , but its not as bad as it was. Its slowly fading away. I still get the ‘shock’ feeling at loud noises that are too close to my ear.

    Sorry for replying so late. Hope you’re doing well. Tinnitus causes anxiety and stress or it may trigger your anxiety or make it worse if you were already struggling with an anxiety disrorder. No one really understands the struggle no matter how many times you explain it to them. I stopped...

    What Sounds Mask Your Tinnitus?

    I was wondering what everyone usually relaxes to other than white, pink or brown noise. I'm trying all these different sounds and so far only water sounds work for me. What sound would you best recommend for mild/moderate tinnitus?

    Ooooohhhh i can already imagine the amazing sound it makes from here. I have yet to feel better from all this dizziness going on and hopefully get my doctors approval to go back to work. luckily i work in an open office so i would never worry about it being quiet during the day. Its crazy how...

    Tinnitus Maskers? Are They Helpful or a Waste of Money?

    I love anything with water sounds. So soothing. I am currently sitting in my quiet room with my waterfall sound. Trying my best to keep it below T sound. I found it difficult to use a masker to sleep at the beginning of my T. But now i cant even sit in my room without one.

    Tinnitus Maskers? Are They Helpful or a Waste of Money?

    White noise makes mine worse too. Not sure why. I love white noise. Its calming and its very quiet and they say it literally the same sound a baby hears when he’s in the womb. ( no wonder i feel calm with it on) , but it always spikes up my T :(

    Tinnitus Maskers? Are They Helpful or a Waste of Money?

    I usually use my ipad and turn on waterfalls on. It usually works for me. White noise spikes up my T for some reason. Hawaii is a lovely reminder. Its crazy how the brain notices outside noise and quickly ignores it , while T becomes such a pain and takes a while to get used to. The brain is...

    Do Computer Monitors Spike Your Tinnitus?

    Mine is still new and not noise induced, but yet fans , white noise ( strange ) TV and computers make my tinnitus sound alot worse. It spikes up for a few minutes and goes back down to its original annoying note once i move away from whatever spiked it. Its strange.

    Tinnitus Maskers? Are They Helpful or a Waste of Money?

    I woke up with hope yesterday morning. However that was short lived since anxiety is a horrible witch. I know it's only been a month for me , but everything is leading to my tinnitus being a permanent thing. My dad was diagnosed with labyrinthitis 15 years ago. He got a very very case of it...

    Is Hyperacusis Always Associated with Cochlear Damage?

    I have been going crazy on Google for the past 3 weeks. I have labyrinthitis. I'm on my 7th week I believe. My MRI results were clear. I have slight hyperacusis and mild tinnitus that I usually only hear when I pay attention to it or specifically when it's really quiet at night. Dr. Google...

    What Are the Stages of Tinnitus Fading Away?

    @glynis thank you for your reply. My GP thinks it’s labyrinthitis, but he’s sending me to ENT doctor to be sure. Im just nervous as i keep reading threads about people who were stuck with tinnitus even after they have healed completely.

    Are there specific stages to tinnitus? Ringing? Humming? Whistling? Hissing? I’ve had mine for 3 weeks now due to an inner ear infection that I fear will stick with m. It started off very mild that I couldn’t even hear it unless I placed my right ear on the pillow and it got worse once I got...
