    Reactive Morse Code / Typewriter Tinnitus

    My tinnitus has changed for the worse(-ish) since late December last year, so my ears don't seem to have the morse code sound anymore. It is very difficult to hear my quieter sounds over the new constant pitches. The only one I can describe if I pay attention: a quiet shimmering, intermittent...

    Arcanesystem's Tinnitus Updates

    Just a quick update: I think the spike is starting to settle slightly. I’m trying my hardest not to pay attention or listen to it as that has resulted in an excellent past three days for my mood. Leaving the house and doing things I like have helped. It’s not as sharp sounding as before and...

    Arcanesystem's Tinnitus Updates

    @DimLeb, I think my last 'attack' was 3 or 4 days ago, around the time I started to eat clean. Other than that, I don't think there are any improvements. My ear was agitated again past two days, but I realize that there's nothing much that can be done except to wait it out. Many people say their...

    Arcanesystem's Tinnitus Updates

    Hey. So, my current knowledge on cochlear hydrops is based heavily on reading around online. I haven't really officially visited a doctor to get a true confirmation, but I've always had spontaneous tinnitus that likes to switch around every few months. It's made me suspect that there is...

    Arcanesystem's Tinnitus Updates

    @Guywithapug, yeah, definitely agree on giving time for healing. If I had one good day, there's bound to be more. As for the fact that it's a random spike, there is a possibility it may subside. Anxiety will only make things worse, so I'm trying to stay calm. I've been reading around about...

    Yesterday was the one ‘good’ day I had since this spike started. It was the calmest it has been, which made me feel amazing, like I was making progress. It seemed like my regular sounds were all back at their regular volume with an occasional irritated hum. Didn’t last til today though...

    Reactive Morse Code / Typewriter Tinnitus

    When my tinnitus first began, I would hear a distortion eerily similar to what you described. It was like a soft morse code that would steadily get louder and compete with any constant noise I would hear. Pretty much any nonstop sound would set it off. Music, running water, fans, tea kettle...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    So, I'm trying to understand correctly what happened. It wasn't so much an issue with multi-dosing itself but spacing out the doses in such a short period of time which precipitated overdosing? That and the response bias. I'm also curious to hear about any tinnitus-related results.
