Hi there, I've been having tinnitus for 5 years now. I completely habituated to it and actually don't 'suffer' from it anymore, only when having a lot of stress. Today something weird happened, in my opinion. I play the piano, and during the last 5 years I never had any problems with my...

Hi there, I had pudendal neuralgia in 2020 for 8 months or so. In my case it turned out to be trauma and stress related. I'm not a native English speaker, so telling you all about everything I've done to get rid of the pudendal neuralgia will be a little difficult for me. Instead, I'd like...

So sorry you are going through the same sh*t. How are you doing these days? Any better?

Thanks everyone for responding. I really appreciate it. I do have some better days though, but at the moment it's LOUD again. Blegh. I hope the fluctuations mean that my spike is slowly, gradually, going down, or that I'm habituating to this new volume. I did a hearing test to see if my...

Hi everyone, I actually haven't been here for a while. I was doing quite good. My tinnitus started 2.5 years ago. After 1.5 years or so I habituated, and since February/March of this year I wasn't bothered by my tinnitus at all. It was like I didn't have tinnitus anymore, although it was still...

Thanks for your replies guys. If anyone’s experiencing something similar, I would like to share with you that the buzzing stopped. Yesterday I went to my fysiotherapist who is treating my jaw (i have TMJ). He did some stretching and gave me exercises, and within 2 hours after the consult, the...

Hello, I have had tinnitus for 1 year and 8 months now. My tinnitus sounds like a high pitched beeeep, and I am almost habituated. It doesn’t bother me that much, except when I’m having a spike, but that doesn’t happen very often. So, my life is pretty good with tinnitus. But yesterday I...

Mine started after a flight as well. Mine did not disappear, but it got a lot better. It went from severe to mild and I can live a happy life with it now. I have tinnitus since June 2018. You have to give it time and you need patience. It takes a while before the ears heal. Try not to panic too...

Did you fly eventually? I’m dealing with the same problem at the moment.

Hello, My tinnitus started 1 year and 3 months ago after I took a flight while having a cold and fever. There was no option for me to not take the flight. I was experiencing a lot of pain during the descent. Before tinnitus I used to have a lot of pain as well so this was nothing new to me...

I can change the volume of my tinnitus by clenching my jaw. My tinnitus changes every day, but it’s mild these days.

Guys, I am so happy right now. I just got back from my appointment with my ENT and it seems that after a year of ear pressure, hearing loss and tinnitus, my ears are now perfect after treatment. For the last 11 months I was using nasal sprays like Nasonex and Dymista. Since january 2019 I’ve...

Hi everyone, Happy new year! I just read something about EMDR proven to be effective for tinnitus distress. Not sure if someone else already posted something about it, but I couldn’t find it, so I thought this thread might be helpful and useful to some of you. Recent Dutch research shows that...

That’s good news! I do believe that if T, or one of the tones, can go away for a certain amount of time, that that should be a good sign. Especially after such a short time since onset. I’m almost 5 months in and the first months I had 4 or 5 different tones. Sometimes all tones at the same...

This.

@Steve2212 Like Don said, everyone has a different experience with T. Negative experiences of others can easily let you feel hopeless, desperate or anxious. I feel sorry for everyone that suffers really bad from T, I’ve been there as well and I still suffer, but I am doing a lot better. What I...

Hey Steve2212, I also know a lot of people who have T and I asked them how they deal with it. They’re all fine and live happy lives. One of them is my brother. He has otosclerosis and developed T after an ear surgery. The first and last time I heard him about T was a few days after his surgery...

Good to hear! Congrats. My T started June 2018, and it’s also improving. It acts the same way as yours. Quite low now, but spikes throughout the day and sometimes my other ear starts ringing as well for a short time. But overall it’s getting better. I think you’re right about staying off...

That sucks. I'm glad you're doing better today. Do you experience spikes often? Is your sleeping pattern usually better than last night?

Thanks!! How are you doing?

I forgot to mention that I have a lot of tension in my neck, shoulders and jaw. I clench my jaws at night and got a guard that I can use while sleeping. I think it helps with the jaw tension and it lowers the T. Also, I asked my boyfriend to massage my neck and shoulders daily and it really...

Hey there! (This will be a long post, sorry for that :)) Well, I still have tinnitus. It fluctuates a lot. But I feel it still gets better with time. I still have spikes and bad days, but it’s also still improving. I have more good than bad days and my anxiety and depression are starting to...

Hey @I_Will_Survive, I feel sorry you’re having a difficult day. I’m new to T as well, but i’m on 11 weeks now. I guess I can relate to your story a little since I developed my T after a cold and ear infection. Besides that I have problems with my neck, shoulders and jaw. I was also very...

Thanks for this one! @Bill Bauer

Thank you all for taking the time to reply! I really appreciate it and really need it right now. It gives me hope! I’m experiencing a bad spike at the moment and have to calm myself down constantly. Last night it was so bad that I even took a benzo... I usually never do that cause they’re very...

I only use masking sounds when i feel very very annoyed and frustrated cause of the T. The masking seems to lower the volume a bit (after i stop masking). I guess it’s because of distracting me from my T and making me feel more relaxed. With masking i’m able to concentrate (at work or when...

Hi there, I will introduce myself. I’m a 26 year old woman and I’m new to tinnitus (2,5 months). English is not my first language, but i hope you guys understand. I developed tinnitus after a flight. I had a fever, nasty cold and ear infection so the pressure on the flight probably triggered...
