No, is that supposed to help?

Hi Claire, I’m doing much better. That’s not an issue for me at all anymore. I do, however, still get tinnitus spikes (like today - first time I’ve been on here in awhile) which bother me. It’s usually induced when in a quiet room for too long and typically subsides after awhile. Just wish it...

It’s not painful, but I’ll notice pitches in random sounds. For example, I’ll hear a high pitch if outside and it’ll just be from the wind or road noise. Something that shouldn’t bother me, but it’s a pitch that I now pick up on when otherwise it was just noise.

I've had tinnitus for five years now, and I would say most days I have habituated. I don't typically notice my tinnitus other than if I am in a very quiet space, falling asleep, or have eaten something super salty/spicy but it usually resolves to baseline within a few hours. However, I have...

I just wanted to respond back that I’m doing a lot better with these noises. It’s not hurting my ears and I don’t hear them everywhere.

Have you habituated yet? I would say I’ve habituated pretty well to my high pitched tinnitus, where I don’t hear mine throughout the day at all. I only notice it at night or when my head is on a pillow. This bass though, I hear that anywhere. When I plug my ears, I don’t hear it at all, which...

Thanks so much for your thought! I’m thinking/worrying that it may possibly be tinnitus. It’s a low rumbling that I notice most in my left ear only. Super bothered by it tonight. Man...I really hate this all.

It didn’t always come back as hyperaccousis. Usually when I get sick, my tinnitus changes (usually get a hum) and it takes awhile to go away but always has. My regular baseline tinnitus is pretty bearable now that I’ve habituated. I don’t ever leave myself in quiet rooms, and I would say it’s...

No new medications, noise, etc. only thing has been stress levels have been a bit high (always have worse anxiety in winter). We also just moved into our new home, and I have two little ones so that’s also something to consider. Does hyperaccousis usually resolve?

I have recently become really sensitive to low tones, especially bass in TV, music, and the running of our furnace at home. Is this normal hyperacusis activity, or something else? I’ve had hyperacusis in the past, and it did go away over time. I’m wondering if this is the same? I’ve had...

Here I am, two years into my tinnitus, and I am still struggling with the anxiety piece of dealing with this on a daily basis. I am not sure why I developed T, but think it may have something to do with my jaw and overall anxiety. I have constant T, but it is generally low enough that I don't...

My head hum is gone this afternoon. Still can't hear as well out of the ear but as I keep getting it to pop, I hope that it will clear up. Definitely better than yesterday! Just giving hope to those others who are reading the post!

Congestion for the past 4 days. That's getting better, the hum still sucks. The ringing is actually lower but the hum is super loud and I can't hear well out of my left ear. I took and anxiety pill last night I was freaking out so much, and it was a little better this morning. Praying as the ear...

I do not hear the hum when I am in the car, outside, next to motors, etc. like you mentioned. Thankfully, also helps with covering it up. I am so thankful that my office plays white noise throughout our space, because that too helps. The worst is when I am just walking into my home, watching TV...

Did your head hum ever go away? I am now sick, and have terrible head humming...praying it goes!

Hi Everyone, Can someone help me understand if this will go away? I have had tinnitus for the past 10 months. It's been a really rough journey, but I was just getting used to my sounds (as in being calm for the most part when hearing them all day). I was able to block them out during the day...

Hey Uncle Vikin, How are you doing? We developed our T around the same time, and I am curious on how others are coping. I hope you are well! Ashlee

Dr, Ancill, I developed tinnitus in November 2014, and noticed it after returning from lunch one day. Ever since then, I have not had a day where it has gone away. It started as more of a constant high pitch tone, but now has settled to more of a white noise that I hear when I am in quiet...

So glad to hear of your success! I'm in Wisconsin and developed my tinnitus around the same time. Thanks for the encouragement!

Hi everyone, Every time I take a shower, I notice that my tinnitus is noticeably louder after I get out. Does anyone else have this issue, or know what could be causing it? I don't feel like it has anything to do with water in the ears. Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

So exciting!! Thank you so much for the hope!!

I'm excited by the thought that it could go away within a year! Do you know anyone or have any statistics of cases that go away?

I'm glad that people can find this helpful! It has definitely been the hardest thing that I've gone through in life, but I'm hoping each day will continue to get easier. When I first got my T I would spend hours on this site, reading every story I coud. I would just cry thinking "will this...

I wanted to share my tinnitus journey as well, as I always promised that if I got to a point where I was starting to feel better, I would be sure to come back and let people know! My T journey started in November of 2014. I came back from my lunch break, went into my office, and my ears...

I have not seen a TMJ specialist yet, but I plan to. My T started randomly on a Monday afternoon after I came back from lunch. I had been getting quite regular ringing after lunch before the constant T started (around lunchtime), but in November it never subsided. I panicked and have had the T...

My dentist fitted me with an upper mouth splint back in November, but I am researching TMJ clinics to see if they can help in any other ways. My dentist is so nice, and said the tinnitus would be the last to go, but I think I need to see an expert about this. I have also done physical therapy...

My T has changed in tone/pitch quite a bit meaning it started as a humming ring in November, and since then has turned into an eeee ring for some time (electrical), then I had a bit of hyperaccoustis for about a week or two with ringing, then moved to more white noise with very high sharp (dog...

Any improvements for those treating their TMJ ? I am going to seek out a TMJ clinic to see if it will help mine. My T has changed a lot over the past three months, recently being a steady white noise with a ring in my left ear only. It does exacerbate after eating so I have a strong feeling it...

Update: I had my MRI today on my brain and ears, and I got good news that they didn't find anything, but it is also very frustrating because I'm back to square one. My left ear has been the worst, always ringing, whereas my right is usually white noise or nothing. When I try to concentrate hard...

My tinnitus noise has changed into a white noise-like sound. It is amplified especially at night or after eating. Does anyone else have this type of T? If my tones have changed to white noise, could it be working its way out? Any suggestions for habituating faster? It drives me nuts when I'm...

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words and suggestions! It is definitely still a struggle for me. I did reflexology on Thursday, and it was extremely relaxing and I didn't have the bad ringing yesterday and it isn't bad today (although I am trying to keep busy). I also have an MRI next...

Today my right ear has been having short bursts of really high tones (i.e. dog whistle high). They last only a few seconds or so, then go away. I feel that my tinnitus may be improving, as it changes frequency/pitch, etc. however at this point, I am not sure what "silence" is supposed to sound...

I was taking Linzess occasionally( every other day), but I hadn't taken it for three days prior to when the ringing started. My hearing tests also came back normal.

I am 23 years old and developed tinnitus randomly out of the blue after returning to work after my lunch back in November 2014. I've never been one to listen to music loud, and didn't do anything to damage my hearing in the past. The ringing began and never stopped. Immediately I had anxiety so...
