I am very happy that works for you Louie. I did not write this with the intention of saying this is the case for EVERYONE. I wrote this with the intention of saying that yes it is a possibility and other may be able to relate. If it makes any difference, my spike usually only occurs 2-3 days...

Suicidally loud? That's pretty intense. Is anything else going on in your life that is making you feel this way or it's "just" the T? Is your T maskable?

Hello guys, I haven't posted here in a while. I still have Tinnitus but I forget about it most of the time. I am experiencing a particularly intense spike and subsequent freakout right now (which is probably making the spike worse) but I've been here before so I'm trying to stay positive. I've...

Blujay, I see your point, and I think that the answer to your concerns lies within the fact that after a while, you will start protecting your ears to noise exposure out of habit, as opposed to because of tinnitus paranoia. I did the same thing as anyone else at first. I tried to shelter myself...

Hello folks, long time no talk! I just have a quick question (as the title says): Is a change in Tinnitus sound Necessarily Indicative of worsening hearing? I ask because I find that my tinnitus has gotten very weird lately. I've learned to ignore the high pitch for the most part by gradually...

I'll take a wild guess... is it 25 years? :P

This here, folks, is pure habituation gold. You got it buddy!!! The being neurotic about tinnitus is wayyyyyyyyyy more damaging to your habituation than random loud noises. Be proud of yourself, the realization you just had is a big important one! GOOD JOB!!

People can move on! Yes! Yes, and Yes! Unfortunately it's not about what you ''wanted''. This is the hand that you have been dealt. It is your new reality now, and it's what you have to deal with. This is an opportunity to be reminded of the fact that you are not in control, that everything...

Wow dude, this is some next level understanding of brain function. I love it! I truly believe the first (and hardest) step is this: ''To stop paying attention to it you first need to strip it of an emotional valence.'' In this case, a little attitude goes a LONG way. If there's one thing I've...

At this point in my financial situation and habituation I would probably find better things to do with 2800$ :p

Difficult, perhaps. Impossible, I refuse to think so. :) Unfortunately I can't watch the video because I am at work, but you make a lot of important points. I can't tell whether you agree or disagree with me, but you are actually reinforcing my theory. Like you said, your brain has learned...

At this point, you may be asking yourself, why am I holding this 30 pound cinderblock in my hands? You might also ask yourself, why does this cinderblock have a long piece of string tied to it? And finally, why is the other end of this string tied securely to your penis?

If it gets worse, you'll adapt to that as well, so again, nothing to obsess about :P

yes. I don't think you should obsessing about making things worse unless you are doing something that could OBVIOUSLY damage your hearing, like using a jack hammer or going to a motorhead concert without protection. I strongly doubt that the dentist could do something to exacerbate your...

Waiting for ear spasms to start so you can panic doesn't sound like much fun at all. Do they hurt? What about your tinnitus? Is it hurting you? Picture a room that has everything you enjoy. Love, friends, games, music... whatever you want. You can stay in this room for as long as you like, and...

In my case, my tinnitus has always been worse during times where I have been severely stressed and somehow reminded about it. That is when my internal dialogue would start saying: ''I am already so stressed and dealing with so much, and on top of everything else I have this constant ringing in...

This is a good point, but what do you make of the people who have tinnitus with no hearing/cochlear damage to speak of?

If you can't even tell if it made it worse, my suggestion would be to stop worrying about it. If there has been any changes, clearly it is barely noticeable, so there is no need to worry.

I know this might be controversial to some, but please hear me out. This isn't meant to downplay the fact that T causes distress, but simply another theory. Here is what we know: Though T can start as a hearing or other ''ear'' problem, once it sets in, it rests in the brain. Of all the things...

Perception is Reality.

I understand this is an old thread but I have stumbled upon this and I need to share my experience with Clonazepam and Tinnitus. Long story short: I think Clonazepam makes my T spike for a week or 2, even after a single pill. It helps my with the volume of my T for a few days, but those few...

I kinda do lol

Lately there has been a lot of hype around Ketamine for the treatment of depression. There has also been some discussion regarding NMDA receptor agonists and tinnitus. Ketamine is a powerful NMDA receptor agonist. I have read comparisons between tinnitus and phantom limb pain. I know that...
