I've had Tinnitus a relatively short time. It first appeared last October 2014. Over time the loudness and intensity grew. Hyperacusis made it's way onto the scene in late December, but only briefly. Since then I've experienced what I call cycles of T and H. I'll have a few days of T, some...

Well the good news is my Gallbladder is officially gone! The pain on Day 2 is a lot better than it was yesterday. Thankfully, I was able to have it laparoscopically removed. Surgery is still surgery though, so I didn't expect to wake up completely free of pain. Waking up in recovery, my...

@Kaelon your theory seems completely plausible. I notice you are in Boston, I'm in Chicago. What environment has helped you? Did you go to a dryer climate like Arizona? Somewhere less urban? The more I think about your theory of reflex causing the burning sensation in the ears, the more it...

@Library Girl I work in a very quiet office too. Sometimes I play the radio very quietly on my computer. No one else can hear it unless they are right next to me. Would this be a possibility for you? When I can't do that, I try to move around and do something that creates some noise. Making...

I have not tried a proton pump inhibiter. When I felt the worst I used Tums. Ate them like candy. My gastro mentioned using Prevacid possibly. I plan to ask about that on Friday. Let me know if it works for you. My tinnitus is a strange animal. One day it is aggrevated by sound, but the...

@Kaelon Couple of other questions. Do you have any sound sensitivity? Does your tinnitus seem to cycle? Better for a few days and then seem to come back just as bad if not worse? I keep thinking I'm having some improvement only to take 2 steps back.

@Kaelon It started after, though I have to caution I had other "neuro" symptoms that initially had my doctor thinking Lyme disease. I had intense lower back pain, tingling fingers and toes and a "cold" spot on my brain in addition to the reflux, palpitations and gallbladder pain. My tongue...

This gives me hope. Thank you for sharing.

This was interesting to read. Like you my tinnitus came on after a gallbladder flare, unfortunately, it was not my only symptom so I don't know if I can unequivocally say gallbladder = tinnitus. I do have sludge as well as a stone. I have also experienced some heart burn and chest...

Best of luck to you! I think it's important to have the procedure. You will have one less thing to worry about. I have a surgery scheduled Friday. I'm hoping that maybe I'll experience a short relief from my tinnitus since others have mentioned that happening after anesthesia. Be strong!

Mine also increases when I yawn or clench my teeth. It also increases depending on how I turn my head and when I press on certain spots of my head. Let us know if treating TMJ helps you. I haven't had that checked yet.

I had a bad cold/flu in October 2014. Due to some of my other symptoms they initially thought I had Lyme disease. A few weeks later the tinnitus started. It started in my right ear and it slowly got louder. Sometime in December I became overly sensitive to regular sounds. By January the...

@object16 - does the Lyrica help your T? I was prescribed it for muscle and joint pain. I haven't started it yet. I see my doctor tomorrow and I was going to revist some other options to help me sleep. I am taking Ambien CR but I'm worried about getting dependent on it or used to it. We had...

Trust me it's a shorter course than one of the doctors wanted me to do. His treatment made me very uncomfortable. I went back to my PCP and she said 6 weeks was not unheard of for the treatment of Lyme. Since they thought I had an early infection, which sometimes doesn't show antibodies in...

I sleep with a box fan and occasionally I've played some white/pink noise on my phone on top of that. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to sleep without medication, but I am hopeful that can change soon. Even with then meds I find myself jerking awake after 4-5.5 hours. I'm sure it's due to...

Slipware - Thank you for responding! I'm sorry for what you are experiencing, but it sounds as if you are being as positive as possible which I know can be hard. So far my MRI and CT are clean. They were looking for spots, lesions or tumors. Does anything help with the feeling of...

Hello everyone! I've been lurking on here for a little while. Reading everyone's stories has been helpful and informative. I've decided to share my journey with Tinnitus so far. Prior to October, I was very healthy. My only issue was fertility. My husband and I started treatments in...
