Sounds like you're an all or nothing kind of guy. From your comments you seem to imply that volume doesn't matter. This is ridiculous. Do you think that someone with the occasional twinge in their back has the same level of disability as someone with a herniated disk who is in pain 24/7?? They...

I know exactly what you mean. I had electrical hissing (it felt like 2 live electrical wires touching) in my head for months. It was unmaskable, since, as you say it was more felt than heard. Good news is that It went away after about 3 months from my T onset and I haven't heard (felt) it since.

sorry for the late reply. I think you're right! I do feel quite fortunate now :)

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Yes I had a very severe middle ear infection secondary to a sinus infection. I went almost completely deaf in my left (T) ear for about 2 weeks followed by severe dysacusis (doubled, distorted hearing of high pitched sounds, particularly women's voices and my kids...

It doesn't interfere with sleep at all. It's all relative. I had sudden 9/10 tinnitus 24/7 for 3 months (shockingly bad, as bad as the worst stores on this site.). It's really hard to be bothered now by tinnitus which I can only hear for 30 minutes a day while falling asleep.

Hey mate, don't mean to pry or anything, but what kind of ETD/TMJ issues came from the tinnitus?

Happy to hear it, the tinnitus is the worst of it I'm assuming, so glad to hear that it is better. Good for others new to tinnitus to also hear that it can get better. Hope your other issues settle down soon too.

I've achieved complete silence for 90% of the day now (quiet room, ears plugged etc.), so definitely not habituation. My catastrophic tinnitus is still fresh in my mind, so I can clearly remember how loud that monster really was. Point taken though, I am enjoying the silence, but staying...

I've been waiting to post this to make sure that my tinnitus has actually gone rather than just a temporary low volume fluctuation, but I am happy to say that after 6 months, my tinnitus is now 90% gone. I posted my story in an introduction thread if you'd like more detail, but in summary I got...

Wow! Thank you all for the wonderful welcome :) @Daniel Lion : Thank you so much for the encouraging words! Yes taking better care of myself is a definite must. I've started by looking after my mental health and with the help of a therapist I'm starting to do really well mentally once again...

Thank you for your reply Michael, and thank you also for the words of caution. I had no idea that listening to silence could be a risk. It's really tough not to do to be honest, but your caution makes sense. I'll now simply acknowledge the silence and move on with my day. Now to just check the...

Hi all, My story is similar to many I have read here. Mine started 12 weeks ago due to a serious ear infection. I was bed ridden for 2 days due to the ear pain. It was some of the worst pain I have ever experienced. Having limited knowledge of tinnitus I requested a very mild antibiotic...
