    I sometimes feel like certain everyday sounds are too loud, but I do not feel pain or anything. It's just paranoia, I guess. Do you have hyperacusis on top of tinnitus??

    Hi Jane! Of course we can talk. I just need a little patience from you because I am in the middle of a few stressful days, but I will get back to you right after the weekend. I hope you are holding up ok, I am sending good energy your way!

    Hola! The test was just up to 8 kHz, but I do not think I have any hidden hearing loss. I am always the first one noticing the slightest sounds around :) Did you get tested up to 16 kHz?

    Can Propiomazine Make Tinnitus Worse? Is It Ototoxic?

    I do not know this drug... but you said antihistamines are bad for tinnitus? Or is it just some of them? I am taking a small dose of Hydroxyzine three or four times per week, for sleep. I thought it was a safe drug and not ototoxic... Am I wrong? It does not spike me the next day or anything...

    My Multiple Tinnitus Sounds Make Me Scared: What If They Keep Getting Worse?

    Hi Guenguer, How are you doing? I read a couple of posts you wrote elsewhere about the sounds you hear, they made me sad. For you but also for me. I relate to the tinnitus part, even though mine is "only" 8 months old. Unfortunately, things did keep getting worse and I have no clue why. I got...

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Thank you for the explanation! I already ordered Thiamine (now I realize it is Thiamine Mononitrate), so I am going to mega-dose this thing starting Friday! I will report back if I notice something. I find very interesting that you do not need to be deficient in this vitamin to suffer from...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    This is the one I tried... I did 3 tablespoons in about 450 ml of water, and I drank half of that. The other half is still sitting in my fridge, in case you want to try it, haha. Hope it works for you if you go for it, @Quiet please!

    Please Provide Perspective on Tinnitus Spiking Easily — Pivotal Job Decision

    My tinnitus does not spike easily, but I am going to give you my opinion anyways. You are saying you could do your dream job at least until June... and maybe then your tinnitus will not be as bad, or you find you can take on projects that does not require to travel (no idea if this is...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    Unfortunately, Kava Kava did not work for me. I felt tired and then dizzy. And I felt like I was inside my own head... My tinnitus was everywhere, my ears, my head, my eyes, around me... It was weird. Maybe cool if there were no noise, but that is not the case. Hope it works better for other...

    Tinnitus Disappears When I Lie Down — Does Anyone Else Experience This?

    Hi @Steph1710, Did you ever find out why your tinnitus disappeared when you would lie down? Does it still happen? How are you doing now? I can't say mine goes away entirely, but I get something like a "dirty silence" when lying down. I read that you also had multiple sounds like me... Did...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    I got the Loa Waka Kava root (the one you have to prepare with the strainer) and tried it yesterday. It did not seem to have an impact on my tinnitus. To the ones who are making the drink: how many tablespoons of Kava and how much water are you using?

    Anyone Else with a “Chaotic Symphony” Tinnitus?

    I am happy to hear that! I have been reading your posts, since you are very active on the forum and you share your experiences and the things you try to get better. My tinnitus is most of the time also a changing "chaotic symphony" as you called it, reactive... and reading your posts make me...

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Thanks for sharing the article, @Flyingsheep! I find it very interesting and I want to try this supplement too. I am a bit confused between the terms Thiamine and TPP. According to the article: "most people are required to consume one hundred to one thousand times the daily recommended intake...

    Multiple Tinnitus Sounds — Are There Others Like Me?

    How are you doing @Still-Hope? Are you on your way to habituation? I feel that habituation with multiple sounds must be really difficult.

    Multiple Tinnitus Sounds — Are There Others Like Me?

    Hi everyone in this thread! I also have multiple tones, I think now I have 2 or 3 in my left ear and 3 in my right ear. Not all of them at the same time... volumes also change. It's been a bit more than two months since the onset. I am wondering how are you doing now and how your sounds have...

    My Multiple Tinnitus Sounds Make Me Scared: What If They Keep Getting Worse?

    Thank you Michael, you are so kind!! This helps me cope with the situation. I get specially anxious when I think that this is only going downhill and there is nothing I can do to stop it. I almost only listen to classical music now, through speakers and low volume. I will remind myself that...

    My Multiple Tinnitus Sounds Make Me Scared: What If They Keep Getting Worse?

    Hi Michael, I need to bother you one more time... Last Sunday night another whistle sound appeared in my right ear while sleeping, it was gone in the morning and then it came back in the afternoon. It has not left since then and it is way louder than the other ones I have (they are all still...

    My Multiple Tinnitus Sounds Make Me Scared: What If They Keep Getting Worse?

    I would say that some of the sounds stay, some go away and some I don't know. The whistle in my right ear is back, so we will see what it decides on doing. I find it very confusing, because lately my life is extremely quiet, my ears almost only listen to classical music (speakers) or they are...

    My Multiple Tinnitus Sounds Make Me Scared: What If They Keep Getting Worse?

    Hi Michael, I put away my headphones and earbuds, thinking that they might be the reason why I got tinnitus... They are lucky I didn't throw them in the garbage. If I understood your thread on the topic, reactive tinnitus is a form of hyperacusis and should be treated accordingly. For example...

    My Multiple Tinnitus Sounds Make Me Scared: What If They Keep Getting Worse?

    Hi @Bill Bauer. Thank you for your positive input! Trying to think positive, it is possible that I have days when it is pretty low intensity. It is difficult to compare with the first weeks, I felt everything was so intrusive... The downside is that I still get new sounds, which I do not think...

    My Multiple Tinnitus Sounds Make Me Scared: What If They Keep Getting Worse?

    Hi @Michael Leigh Thank you for responding! I was not a regular user, but this summer I started listening to music or meditations through headphones... Maybe one or two hours per day. Do you think this might be the cause? I have not used them since the onset in my left ear, and still three...

    Hello everyone, I am new here, and I am thankful there is Tinnitus Talk with such nice people. It makes me feel not so alone already. It has been two months since I got tinnitus in my left ear.

    Multiple Tinnitus Tones and Reactive Tones: Prognosis and Etiology?

    I have two or three different sounds in each ear, normally there is one that dominates the others, and it changes constantly. I also hear something like a squeak over certain sounds (hairdryer, fan, shower...) and when I walk around. This one is more in my head, like over me. Sometimes it is...
