Hi @chaLLas , Activities that increase my blood flow, or cardiac rythm, affect my Tinnitus temporarily. I think yours will settle down soon, sometimes the anxiety about getting a spikes makes it to stay longer. The best for you,

She is actually 60 years old :ROFL::ROFL:, No, seriously Random Alexa, I remember Tinnitus becoming most notable around high school, but don't worry too much, you will handle it. Since then I got an Engineering Degree, and my T is kind of loud, so you will be ok in the school. The best for you,

Hi kelpiemsp, For table saw and power tools I would definitively use high protection earmuffs (in fact, I like to watch videos about woodworking, and most of the workers use that kind of ear protection). For concerts I would use high protection foam ones, around 30 dB. For baseball games...

It took me 12 months to start the habituation process. So just keep strong, things will get better for sure. Today Tinnitus is not a major subject in my life. Hugs,

Yes, Just be careful, if you overthink too much about it, you will insist that your T is still loud when it is not, when it already settled in the previous level. Best,

It is a very valid question at the onset of your Tinnitus, mainly because all of the stories and information you find on Internet can be confussing. The answer is NO, at least you had a severe cause, which those are very few cases (I can hear my Tinnitus inside of a big loud airplane, and I...

Right there my friend, this is your main problems right now, and not Tinnitus. Look for help, maybe professional, or maybe just engange in auto-education about how to control anxiety, fear and depression. What ever help you need just ask we will be very glad to give you some advise. Things...

Stop overthinking, Just come to México, we can buy a resort complex in Los Cabos. Lying by the beach all day (the sea is an excellent masker), and drinking Margaritas. We have sun 360 out of 365 days a year. Full of nice people, beautiful señoritas, handsome guys... it's a no brainer.

I used to be in that same position, years ago. I was that way for around a year, but if I knew the things I know now, I would'nt had to suffer that much. Life is great, even with T, but with high loads of stress and anxiety that this sound brings to our lives, is very easy to forget it. Start...

My Dear, this challenge is like a rollercoaster, you will feel very good, and suddendly very bad, sometimes in the same day. You will start to have more very good times, than bad times, For today, just FORCE your positive thinking. It will do magic. If you don't feel good, just push positive...

Crime is a very difficult topic, as many people says here, there is no place where you could be completely safe. I live in Baja California México, and we have drug cartels... I have being living here all my life, and most of the time I feel "safe". But for example, San Diego California is...

Hi Suze, Only time will give you the peace of mind to manage your T and H completely. (also, properly professional help from physicians and counselors if needed). Don't feel bad or sad with yourself about this things happening, those had always been there, but because we had no problems with...

Have an ear specialists checked your ears? Reactive is related with Hyperacusis (sometimes), and hyperacusis sometimes is related with ear irritation. I have also hyperacusis (that goes from big to small, deppending the situations, and can take months in one level or the other). When I get...

This is why is SO difficult to measure Tinnitus, because it deppends in personal experiences. For example, I can hear my T inside of a loud big airplane... and my measures start from there. But, at the end, I believe just SEVERE Tinnitus is so hard to habituate. From moderate to down, you...

Well, you are right about that, EVERYONE could SUFFER from Tinnitus, maybe I did not found the correct word. But, remember that you can "SUFFER" from almost everything... pain, love, etc, even when it is not that big. If your T can only be heard barely inside of a Library, I would say your...

For example, this would not be considered even to "SUFFER" Tinnitus in my opinion. This is why it's so difficult to measure, is so subjective. My opinion: You can barely hear it in a Library: Very mild (not even suffering Tinnitus in my opinion) You can hear it always in quite places: Mild You...

That was almost 3 years ago. In that moment, I also started to have ALOT of work stress (not related with my T) and also my hyperacusis was very bad. It took me around 1 year to recover. But, the problem was that, I had alot of stress and anxiety problems, as i've said, related with finances and...

I've had Tinnitus for a long time, since around high school. At the age of 27 it increased considerable, from mild to moderate. At the moment, I was sure was a problem with my blood and some medications I took...(but today I think those were only the culprit, becase I used to hear alot of loud...

Do you have Hyperacusis? Those are symptoms of H. It could be that, while you are constantly thinking that some kinds of sounds can make you more damage, when you hear them your ears react according. When my ears are irritated (because stress, my childrens screaming for a while, etc) I get...

I've had this experience many times, cars honking near me. And the worst ones, are when big trucks, like busses or cargos, decompress air near your ear. But, how can you be prepare for that? I personally don't use earplugs at street, neither at everyday activities. I'm not worry about this...

Hi Barry, The best thing you can do right now, is going to see a therapist and counselling. Less than 1 percent, have VERY SEVERE Tinnitus, the one that really can put a person in a disability position, not able to work, concentrate. I think, maybe 90% does not care about Tinnitus, just have...

Hi men, Some couple of things, hope they help you. First, I never tell people I have Tinnitus. Only my wife and some of my brother know about my condition. Nobody at works know, NOBODY at partyes HAS not know. I did it in the past, talking about Tinnitus, then trying to explain what that...

Hi Benoves, the answer is yes. Everything that "affects" your bloodstream may causea a spike in your Tinnitus. I have the same problem, I have spikes because of Coffee, but I just can't stop drinking it jeje. Is not something permanent, spikes caused by coffee, in my experience, should go...

Hi James, a fellow software engineer here. First, I think you are right when you say "I'm 99% sure this is because for the first time it is audible over every day activities such as TV". I've had T since I can remember, but some 4 years ago it started to be louder than anysound around me (in...

I found this website today, looks great. https://www.noisyplanet.nidcd.nih.gov/

Nop. Enjoy. Not even the sound of a complete burning house would hurt you.

Since my Tinnitus became louder, enough to be a problem at the beggining (I don't pay that much attention to it anymore).. I have flown, maybe 10 times and nothing bad has happened. I only use earplugs now and then while the airplane is flying, to let my ears rest, more related with ear...

I have a very beautiful wife, who treats me like a king.. what I sometimes does not deserve. Also, she gave me 2 beautiful boys. Waking all the mornings, and knowing they are alive, they have health, they can walk, breath, eat, you feel like you have nothing else to ask to life. When you have...

It would be a great idea to get to a consensus, here with all the fellows in TT. To determine how much noise is too much, and define a guideline to tell people the level of risk for certain situations. I understand that, as those post you shared with me say, maybe an underground DJ gig is too...

Hi Gopher, Maybe your ears got irritated, and that is why your Tinnitus is louder now. When my ears get irritated, or get exhausted, my T increases. I would bet that your sound will settle in some days... just let your ears to take rest and recover. And try to relax, because Anxiety can...

The thing is, I don't propose people to join Metallica for 2018 world tour as a drummer. I'm only saying, there is nothing wrong with going sometimes to a bar, to have dinner, to a stadium... just watch out the noise level and protect your ears properly if needed.

I think that, if you decide to stop living your life at its fullest.... then you don't need to bet anything... you already lost. I really understand your point, I were there for alot of time.

I socialize alot with work partners, clients, friends. We go to bars, restaurants, etc. Some of them loud. I always use earplugs if there is moderate to loud music in the place. I don´t use earplugs if is just a place without music venues, and only people talking and eating. People should not...

Yep, it does. Good attitude and good strategy bro.

Big chances that your Tinnitus is caused my TMJ. In your profile you say that, T started because of stress and depression. Stress is one of the biggest triggers of TMJ. All your TMJ get sore, inflamation, and that can cause pain in your jaw, your teeth, your neck, shoulders, head, and yes...

I also have TMJ. Most related to my bad postures and bruxism. This halloween, I was with my kids asking for trick or treat. I was a Vampire and was using one of those plastic vampire teeth in my mouth... well that was not a good idea jajaj. Back at home, I took the teeth off and my jaw was...

I've noticed lately that alot of movies and series are using this kind of sounds... don't know why... maybe they think are cool.

THIS. Yesterday I was watching Stranger Things... it is not Tinnitus friendly!, not because it is loud, but because have a lot of Tinnitus like sounds, high pitched ringing sounds. Again, this is not something is going to damage your ears, maybe this can bother me some, but I still watch the...

I will say go, 1) Take care of your ears, use 30db + earplugs, put them on before you get in, take them off after you leave. 2) Stay away from loud speakers. 3) Enjoy some Margaritas and have fun. I promote to live as normal as you could... If this is just a party, a not a Metal Concert...

Hello Reflect, When my Anxiety and Depression was at their worst because of Tinnitus, maybe 2 or 3 times a week I was waking up in the middle of the night with big spikes and fleeting tinnitus. I relate this strongly with my Anxiety and Depression. For now, Tinnitus is still there, but is not...

Yes I do, I've had very mild Tinnitus since I can remember. But 4 years ago, I don't know if was loud sound, ototoxic medicine I used that causes T, or purely anxiety and stress, but my T became 5x maybe more. Now is moderate, and sometimes more than that. But it is ok, as Always, the...

I would, but I'm sorry for you, I'm married. Seriously, once you get in peace with your Tinnitus, you could, and you should, live a life as normal as possible. I'm a software engineer, when my Tinnitus became a real problem, I thought I was ending my career. But no, now, years after that, I...

Hi Tiya, Being alive is the very best thing in the universe, literally. Only a very, very, very small number of living things get the chance to live in this world. But, sometimes, systems does not work properly. Alot of people think about suicide, and is not something to blame, but yes it is...

Anxiety will increase your T more than running. Go and have some activity, run, have fun. As I can see in your picture, you are new to this, from September this year. Well, the place you are now, the over protecting, and super anxiety, is NORMAL. Just keep in mind that, sooner than later... I...

Don't let Tinnitus to drive your life. As far as you are properly protecting your ears, you could, and you should (for your mental health) live your life as normal as possible. Personally, I use earplugs anytime there is loud sound. I don't use earmuffs (in my opinion, that is a little too...

If true, could this help tinnitus sufferers? Interesting. Magic mushrooms might help depressed patients by helping them “reset” their brains, according to a new study that uses brain scans to look at the lasting effects of psychedelics...

I read this article on TMZ (yes yes I read gossip once a week haha). http://www.tmz.com/2017/10/10/youtube-star-jake-paul-sued-horn-prank-lawsuit "YouTube celeb Jake Paul is known for comedic pranks, but there's nothing funny about destroying people's hearing ... according to a new lawsuit. A...

Go, use you earplugs, and enjoy the movie! But... PLEASE!! Don't post spoilers! I need to watch that movie, I used to play the PC game in the 90s.

Done.

Psychological counseling and drug prescription.

True, The problem is, people with strong anxiety and deep depresion, can be COMPLETELY SURE their Tinnitus is the worst, very severe. When, very severe Tinnitus is very rare, and if you have it, you should receive the correct advise, and go to get professional help and support. Having severe...

Days before, one of the first responses, I made a comment in this post, about the need to handle this kind of information with care, because we have alot of people here with deep depression, battling Tinnitus anxiety everyday. My post was deleted, and I would like to know why. Because this...

Here is a link https://www.everydayhearing.com/tonic-tensor-tympani-syndrome/

I don't think it is because loud sound. I used to notice it also after a long drive... I thought maybe it was the sound of the car, or engine, or traffic, then I made this test, I used earplugs while driving, and the morse code started again, so It was not the sound. I don't get this morse code...

Morse code T has always been temporary for me, I have constant high frequency Tinnitus, but 3 or 4 times a month, I also get this morse code Tinnitus. Check it out, because morse code is related with TTTS, and TTTS is related with the anxiety you get around sounds. Thats why, maybe, when these...

No, don't be afraid, that will be the worst think you can do. If your Tinnitus did make worse and louder you would ALREADY KNOW. I'm almost sure what you have is a temporary increase because Ear irritation. I've been there. At the beggining of my T, MOST doctors told me it was a circulatory...

I visited "the best ENT of the city", and 70 years old doctor. Hundreds of Californians come to see this ENT. I discovered he was most of a Hearing Aids seller... he was completely un able to treat, or make any valueble advise about Tinnitus. So, sad to tell this, but most of ENTs does not...

Yes it happened alot to me at the beggining. Monitoring Fleeting Tinnitus, and evaluating if it became constant, or the sound did not decreased after some time. Sometimes thinking it could permantly affected my T. It was just anxiety. Today I still get fleeting Tinnitus but I just let it follow...

Yes I do, it comes and goes always. I can't relate how it starts, but mostly happens after sleep, in the morning. But it is never permanent, just couple of hours. Regards!

Keep strong Sandra... It took me around 1 year to made peace with my T. I was right there, where you are now. Remember to come to TT to take the BEST of this forum. We have alot of T fellows who can't handle Tinnitus at the time, some of them have YEARS fighting against T, but you have to...
