I have the same thing going on, changes daily, up and down, different tones, single tones, white noise type tones, volume changes many times a day, sometimes another tone in the middle. But no matter what it is I never have a problem sleeping, that's a good thing. I'm trying to figure out...

I have one Miracle Ear Genius 3.0 for the right ear. This one runs about $3300. They are also able to program masking sounds into the hearing aid, like waves, white noise etc, but I'm not using that, the external environmental sounds are enough. Also now I have another good morning, I still...

I received my hearing aid a couple of days ago, and I have had the two quietest days in the last 10 years. My tinnitus has not left me, but the sound of the outside world is totally masking the 8 kHz tone. When I'm at home TV, central air fan is covering it up. When I'm outside on the road it's...

Thanks. It's been a tough few months with my new levels of tinnitus. Yep, I hope things continue to improve. I'm hoping a hearing aid that is coming soon will help even more. It seems the more you're ok with it, the more you can forget it, and when you forget it, you can't seem to hear it...

I guess a good thing about getting these tinnitus spikes is that then the lower volumes of tinnitus are easier to deal with. About a week ago, right before I went to bed I had a major spike most of the night. If I was to use a level of 1 to 10, I would call it a 12. So now anything 8 and...

Same question. Why do you use earplugs when sleeping? How does that help?

That's true, every time I come here to read my tinnitus spikes a bit.

I have had hearing loss for many years in my right ear. Just recently decided to do something about it, because my tinnitus decided to take a turn for the worse.

I went into Miracle-Ear on Wednesday, took my second hearing test in the last month, order a hearing aid, and should be ready the first week of July. Can't wait, hope it helps my tinnitus.

Ok, so I ordered a hearing aid, I spent like 2.5 hours at the Miracle-Ear store doing a hearing test, talking about my tinnitus, had a sample hearing aide tuned in, in my ear for about an hour of that time. During the time I had the hearing aid in I couldn't find my tinnitus. Usually when I...

I listen to music every night with one earbud headphone in my good ear to help me sleep, played at low volume to distract the constant tone in my bad ear that I can't hear out of. The music has not made my tinnitus worse.

You're right, I feel no guilt, even though I may have gotten my T from many yeas of logging with out ear protection, loud music, but not for sure. I have always had problems with that ear since I was a child. Low level hearing in that ear since I was young. But no matter what, I feel no guilt...

When I think about it, I'm not sure whats going on with me. I did so good for many years, like 10 years, but for last few months, I think the volume of my tinnitus has increased, but I could be wrong. It could be I just think about it more. I think about it daily now, and thinking about it is...

Hang in there man, is all I can say.

I would say I have had mild tinnitus, for about 10 years, I would say in the 4 range easy to handle. I have had a spike in the last 5 months or so. I'm running in the 7-8 range now. Like its all new to me again, hoping it won't get worse. Some days I would need a vacuum cleaner to cover it

I think to myself, I could have worse health problems, and be thankful this is all I have. I'm still able to do everything I need to do. I guess that's what keeps me going. I have had this since 2008. I'm starting to adjust to the new level of tone loudness that has come on a few months ago...

I think to myself I could have worse health problems, and be thankful this is all I have, I'm still able to do everything I need to do. I guess that's what keeps me going.

I woke up with the tone pretty loud today, so I just started whistling Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star to cover it up, then all of a sudden the tone went from a 9 down to a 2, and it's still down there an hour later. Has anyone done anything like that?

Please keep us posted on how it works.

Well I'm dealing with some pretty loud tone in my ear now for the last few weeks, had a few rough sleepless nights, had to fight off some panic. My usual music listening during the night wouldn't even cover it. Lots of up and down volume, so I have some good days, and some bad days. Even on my...

Thanks, Erik

What keeps me going is thinking about worse things I could have going on with my health, and be happy this is the only problem I have to deal with. I can do everything I need to do, it's just noise.

What I have noticed with Tinnitus, if the constant volume is low enough you can forget about it, and the volume goes even lower, but when the constant volume is too high, which prevents you from forgetting about it, just makes it never ending noise. I might need to run the vacuum cleaner next...

I'm starting to feel like there is some hope here.

I don't know that, I don't have the chart, but I looked at it from a distance, but looking at the chart it was like 2 inch difference on the chart.

One other thing odd about that ear, If I put water or ear drops in that ear, I can hear great with that ear, as soon as I drain the ear the hearing goes away. The Doctor thought that was odd, and gave me no explanation. He seemed stumped.

I don't have the audiogram with me, I would guess that is the chart where they made all the measurements. I'm not familiar with all this, but they did do a test, where they put something behind my ear, where all the readings for the bad ear were up at the same level as the good ear.

Thanks, JohnAdams, GregCA. I was also wondering, if I was to get a hearing aid, would that damage my ear? Because I would think a hearing aid would need to pump sound into my ear at a great volume. So I can hear. Just like now if I want to hear music I would need to crank up the volume for...

Thanks Erik , glad to hear that.

I have a question. If I was able to restore hearing to the ear that has the tinnitus, will that help lessen the nuisance of the tinnitus? I decided to go into a clinic after many years, to see what's going on with my ear that has very little hearing in. I did ask them about the tinnitus and...

Well for me I have had it for like 10 years now and was doing ok, but recently it has upped it's game on me, on a whole new level, with increased volume, like it's all new to me again. So for all of you here, I pray that this nuisance goes in the right direction for you.

I hope you get it worked out. I feel for you. I have been dealing with it for like 10 years now, has gotten a little worse recently, I'm still able to deal with it, hoping it doesn't get any worse. Every once in a while I will get a tone in the center of the head, along with the 8kz tone the...

I have another noise going on in the same ear that doesn't bother me much, It's like a low motor hum, very low volume, It would be like the furnace running down in the basement, or a truck running outside down the road. I only hear when it's very quiet.

I wish I could just forget about the tone, I can be going along just fine, don't notice the tone at all, and then I will think, oh I don't hear the tone, and there it is, then it get louder and louder. I just can't seem to just forget about it. So it's like all day long like this. Also, if I...

I have been reading some about this listen to audio Tinnitus Therapy. So what if I can't here out of the ear that has the tone,? Does it help to listen to Tinnitus Therapy with the good ear that does not have the Tinnitus?

For now I'm doing ok with it, I need to sleep with a headphone in the good ear with music to distract, so I can sleep. It's mostly up and down depending how occupied I am with things. When I'm busy it fades away, when things are quite the tone volume increase, or soon as I think about it the...

No, have very little hearing in the ear with the problem, maybe 10% hearing level.

No, had no clue what was going on with my ear until a few years back, didn't even know I had tinnitus until I decided one day to look it up on the internet, and found out many have the same thing going on. I haven't had my ears looked at for many years could be 20 or more. Have been thinking...

Yes, have had a history of loud noise, was a logger for many years, chainsaw, skidder, never wore ear protection. plus I have always had problem with the one ear, hearing loss since I was a kid.

Just found your site. Have had a 8 kHz tone in my right ear for the last 10 years. Have been able to ignore pretty much all those years. In he last 4 months or so the volume level of the tone has increased some. If I'm not thinking about it it fades away. And I just can't help it, I will...
