I am neutral as for the Michael Leigh vs Dave from Chicago dispute. I am going to give TRT a try very soon with a local expert in TRT. I just wonder what kind of tinnitus it is that I am suffering from. When I wake up in the morning, it sounds crazy, so loud and annoying high-pitched noise...

Your experience is very similar to mine, only I am now planning to find an audiologist and get a hearing aid for my left ear. I discovered recently, after several months of annoying tinnitus mostly in my left ear, that if I play with my left eardrum and move it outwards, I can hear high...

I wouldn't say that my tinnitus is severe, I can easily mask it with medium volume sounds like running water, a couple of crickets or cicadas, and whenever I am busy doing something, I usually forget the thing. Anyway, I am surprised that so few people on Tinnitus Talk work with real, natural...

I do the same most of the time but I noticed many times that the sounds of nature played through speakers is often not realistic enough and I cannot find the reason why it is so. When I heard real crickets in the woods last summer, I was like wow, that is so much better than YouTube videos or...

Thank you. I want to make sure you know I appreciate your input.

OK, it seems not many people are interested in natural sound enrichment. Why are you all so obsessed with sound generators and YouTube videos when you can have real sounds at home? I have the crickets at home the second night. Out of about 30 of them, only one is singing. It is because except...

I developed my tinnitus during a long trip on my motorcycle. I know - I should have worn earplugs... The most absurd thing on earth - I was wearing earplugs. The reason the tinnitus appeared was the noise I heard in my helmet. I think the earplugs were good, plugged well, but there was something...

Amazing news! Good for you! I guess I will have my wisdom teeth removed after reading your thread.

Thank you. A good idea. I will try something similar.

Thank you. They sell small indoor or garden fountains, but I am afraid they are too quiet.

I'd like to have an avatar here, a simple one. I googled avatars and only got stupid pictures I was supposed to pay for. I am PC literate but not avatar literate, never had to make one. Could you please help me find a simple way to choose a super simple picture and use it here as avatar? Thanks.

I cannot find much information about people using real sounds to mask or help tinnitus. All I come across is talk about hearing aids, sound generators, mobile phone apps with sounds etc. I have had tinnitus for a year and only today - yes, that long it took - I realized that the real sound of...

There is a hospital in the neighborhood where I live and ambulances pass by with sirens all the time. Honestly, I have never seen anyone in the street plugging their ears when an ambulance with a siren shows up. I believe the sound is 110 dB when you are standing right next to the ambulance...

Well, my experience is different, I didn't mind ambulance sirens for 55 years. I started to perceive the sound as extremely unpleasant only after I got tinnitus. The same about riding the metro, never ever had I problem with the noise inside a subway car until my tinnitus started, so I think...

I didn't mention it to shorten the post, but ever since my tinnitus started, I've had problems with ambulance sirens, underground / metro riding in the underground, driving a car etc. I have to plug my ears whenever an ambulance with a siren passes by. In the underground the noise is unbearable...

Hi. I've had tinnitus and hyperacusis for about a year. I am not sure how it is going in general, whether I am slowly habituating or not. It was caused by a noise trauma. I'm sure that some of my hair cells are damaged and my hearing got worse in the left ear. The volume of tinnitus hasn't...
