    Guy Yelled Near Ear — Can It Permanently Worsen Tinnitus or Cause Hearing Loss?

    I apologize for sharing my feelings and experience about this horrid condition. But I will thank you, you have made me realize that being on this board is probably the worst thing I could do for my mental health or recovery of any type from this ordeal. But I wish you well, and hope you feel...

    Guy Yelled Near Ear — Can It Permanently Worsen Tinnitus or Cause Hearing Loss?

    Things get worse before they get better I guess. I went back today to finish getting the car. Mind you I am a part time community college teacher, so this is a big hit to me financially. Just so happens today was the day men came to clean the parking lot. There was a generator outside and a man...

    Anxiety Influencing Tinnitus Spikes

    Yes anxiety worsens my tinnitus and must have something to do with its onset also.. The very first time I had it real bad last August was going off Klonopin and having a panic attack that I inhaled a Tylenol ( stupid I know .. I thought it went down the wrong way maybe)..... The T came on so...

    Guy Yelled Near Ear — Can It Permanently Worsen Tinnitus or Cause Hearing Loss?

    I'm really frustrated and angry tonight. This morning, the power steering went out on my car, my car is totalled. The repair would have been more than the car is worth. However, this morning, I was having a good day. My tinnitus was as low as its been since the beginning of this ordeal. I was...

    Tinnitus Started Last August / Brain Hemorrhage Survivor

    Going into month four of 24/7 tinnitus probably noise induced, and month 6 of when it first started after the Klonopin. The tinnitus is like a ramp. I tried sleeping with a sound machine. It does help me fall asleep, but without it I wake in the middle of the night / early in the morning and...

    Should You Listen to Any Rock Music When You Have Tinnitus?

    Thank you for the advice, Bill & Sash. I will take those recommendations seriously. Drums do bother me. I always liked Phil Collins/Genesis - when I got this tinnitus problem, I realized how hard he hits the drums. I have been listening to the Easy Listening station on TV - at least I can...

    Should You Listen to Any Rock Music When You Have Tinnitus?

    I'm going into my fourth month of 24/7 tinnitus, which is still intrusive most of the time. I have some quiet or barely audible moments very early in the morning when waking up and at first when I get up. Usually after breakfast, but today it was actually lunch, the volume increases. My...

    Tinnitus Started Last August / Brain Hemorrhage Survivor

    I saw the ENT today who did diagnose me with TMJ from the weight loss. He also said I have some hearing loss and said he thought it was the source of my tinnitus. He also said it was probably permanent, so I am quite down. I am also confused because last time when I had the hearing test he said...

    Finasteride Can Change GABA-A Receptors and Cause Tinnitus

    I also stopped Finasteride suddenly last August and then developed tinnitus after also stopping Klonopin. I flipped out due to major psoriasis in my nose- stopping all my meds. I could not finish sex for months after the Finasteride... but now I can again finally at least. The tinnitus could...

    Can (Minor) Nose Inflammation Really Cause Tinnitus?

    Yes I think it's possible and is probably related to mine. I have had major nose inflammation since June from psoriasis, allergies, and blood thinners. I subsequently developed an ulcer on my septum in my right nostril last August or so that has not healed still. The ENT calls it inflammation...

    Tinnitus Started Last August / Brain Hemorrhage Survivor

    Just updating. It's been 5 months since tinnitus occurred for me in both ears withdrawing from Klonopin. I also took Levaquin in October and I think that really kicked it in. It goes up and down but is there 24/7 except briefly early in the morning laying in bed sometimes it lessens greatly...

    Tinnitus Started Last August / Brain Hemorrhage Survivor

    My name is Matt – I’m about 50. My tinnitus started last August and in late September became continuous in both ears. I have had a rough year to say the least. Last March, I had a brain hemorrhage and stroke. The brain hemorrhage was surgically repaired with a stent. At the time I weighed about...
