Here in The Netherlands sometimes people go to see Dr. Löwe, just across the border in Leer, in Germany. They do high frequency tests and other tinnitus treatments. If you google for that you should find him, I know I did a while back. Myself, I managed to get into the tinnitus clinic of Antwerp...

@Adam L @Smartone202 I think we have similar types of tinnitus. For me the head buzzing is very strongly anxiety related. It tends to disappear completely during times I feel confident about my T and prognosis, or at least will only be very faintly audible. I too differentiate it from my ear...

I have auras too, but no headache, and extremely rarely, maybe twice a year. The first time I had an excruciating headache but ever since I haven't. I just lay down, and 20 minutes later I'm fine. I also have this "shudder" sensation in my head, not physical, but it seems like sound. I have had...

I do allow it, fully assuming it will settle within about an hour. How is it now for you? Do you still experience this reaction to working out, or has it gotten better? I have the hope that in time, it will stop reacting like this.

@OneTimePoster thank you for sharing story. It's very hopeful. I am about 4 months in now, and am in the process of picking my life back up even though the tinnitus still bothers me a lot of the time and I am still not calm about it. I trust in time I will. One thing I am back to doing is...

Hi all, I figured I'd post a bit of an update. I've been away to France for the past two weeks to help out my aunt with her house there - lots of gardening/painting/maintenance. Basically as an experiment to keep me busy. It's gone pretty well. I've been able to do plenty of things without...

Ah I see. I don't think it's doing that for me. I will keep an eye on it though!

I am actually using fairly high dosages of D3 and know it is used here and there to treat tinnitus. What makes you say it made yours worse? What did you experience?

I've actually been doing pretty well the last few days - I have two high pitched tones, one in each ear, and a low tone in my right ear now which is noticable only at night. During the day I can tell it's there but only vaguely. However, now I have a genuine rushing near my left ear, and I can...

Hi AMV, I have both conditions. I think my IBS might have been a stress response combined with poor nutrition and overdoses of coffee, and as I didn't know what was causing my pretty severe bowel symptoms for a long time (NHS, takes forever) that might have added to my stress levels and...

Yes, happens to me too. Nothing to worry about.

@Michael Leigh I see, so basically I shouldn't worry about it. I have read many of your posts and of other people, and it is simply a lot of info to take in and sometimes I get a tad confused. I have begun reading them again and will apply what I can. The only thing I don't do, is really just...

It does, thanks. I would be careful indeed with using earplugs but I am never in total silence so I guess I am safe to use earplugs here and there. If I'm at home I will often watch some TV or go out for a walk. I do build in plenty of hours of quiet too though, to let my spikes settle. Can...

@Michael Leigh again thank you for sharing your experience and providing some answers. It really helps make sense of things and find ways to cope. I have one more about headphones. Tomorrow I am travelling to France with my aunt and this will be a long drive. I will be protecting my ears from...

Hey @John CC, I decided to have a look at your posts as you commented on mine and so I came across this one. For me, my tinnitus does not particularly react to loud sounds. Mine flares up from certain frequencies/sounds that resemble wind, computer fans, aircon, coolerd, anything with a...

Thanks Michael. I understand the principle you're explaining but practice makes it difficult. Even the lowest volume of my phone is enough to drown out the tinnitus. I can not set it lower so as to put it below my tinnitus. That is, my ear tinnitus. It is the actual sound of said phone that will...

See I have exactly that noise. For me it's the most audible one and I am really not happy with it. Up until a month ago it had been pushed into the background for me too yet now it is back. I notice it becomes more obvious as I am around sounds. When I wake up in the morning it's either very...

@Michael Leigh thank you for your advices. I have read most texts of yours in the past months and will have another look. I often wonder what is overprotecting and what is underprotecting. For example my head T is triggered from fairly mild noises around the house. Also from driving my car...

@coffee_girl thank you for the reassuring words. My evil head T triggers from such things as driving my car. Would you protect in that case? I'm unclear when something would be overprotecting which I try to avoid. I for example don't sleep with earplugs anymore even though I did so for years...

@Smartone202 do you mean you already had some barely audible tinnitus? (How could T that does not exist spike? :P) In hindsight I also think I might have already had T, I just never recognized it as such. I remember being able to hear very faint sounds in my ears if I really shut myself off in...

@Michael Leigh thanks, I will try not too worry too much about the fluctuation. I was actually coping better a few weeks ago as my T and H were more predictable. The high tones I get in my head now from H are really uncomfortable and it worries me I'm getting worse rather than better. Just...

Yeah it was speech+background noise. Early after onset I noticed some sounds would reverberate in my ears, such as a fan or a passing car. If I'd stay in a place like a supermarket or road for too long, it would trigger this buzzing sound in my head that would become louder and more tonal over...

@Smartone202 yes I wasn't sure how to condense it for fear of leaving out something important. My base level T is definitely quieter in volume, although I no longer wake up in complete silence. It's the "Head T" which seems triggered, I think from sound, that drives me mad.

Hey Contrast, They actually did a speech test and it came back good. I also don't experience pain at all with my Hyperacusis, so that's at least a positive.

I'm having the same thing, but for me it is partly my T changing in nature and me panicking about it. I also believe I have H involved which is causing me more distress than the T itself. How are you doing now after a couple more months?

Hi all, I finally decided to make an introductory post after having been eyeing this forum soon after onset. First let me say that really helped. My tinnitus started in July this year (2018). At first I started noticing it at work in my left ear mainly - it wouldn't be there all the time but a...
