    It's My 2 Year Anniversary — There Is Hope!

    Probably a year to be completely comfortable with it and to accept it. Honestly, I do not wear ear protection. I do not hang out at loud places anyways, but even when I do go to a concert, I don't wear any protection. I know it's kind of irresponsible, but I don't do it. No, I always loved...

    It's My 2 Year Anniversary — There Is Hope!

    It's been exactly 2 years since I joined this forum and started my journey of tinnitus suffering. Oh, how things have changed since then. I remember being so scared, desperate and I thought that my life is going to end. I did not believe that there is anybody out there who would understand me...

    Feeling Much Better After 3 Months

    3 months ago I was writing a post in the Introduce yourself thread and I remember being so scared, lost and desperate. I did not believe that I would ever get better and I thought that T is gonna rule my life from then on. But I can happily say that I feel much better and am habituated to this...

    That is true..my T has been really quiet for the past 3 days and I even slept with no masking noise last night, for the first time in a long time! That felt so awesome...Thank you for your kind words. And yeah..it would be great if we could all be magically cured and T would never be a pain in...

    New Tinnitus Sufferer

    Hi, I also have upper neck pain and experience dizziness if I turn my head a certain way or If I'm sitting for a long time in front of my computer. I am not sure if my T is connected to that, but I went to ENT and he told me I should do MRI..so I'm doing that on Tuesday..maybe you should do MRI too?

    That is very true..I did not fully appreciate the great gift of hearing and silence as well before this happened, so at least one good thing came out of this! Thank you, I hope so too :)

    So you're saying that if my T is not due to hearing loss or noise damage, it should go away? I have to say it has been reasonably quiet for the past 2 days and it makes me very happy and hopeful! Again, thanks everyone for your nice words of encouragement...I am so glad I found this forum :)

    Decided It Would Be Nice...

    I totally understand how you feel..mine started 2 months ago as well and It's a high pitched sound that sometimes can get really bothering. Also, not being able to find the cause of it is very frustrating as well! I would just like to know what caused it and what's going on in there! But...

    Thanks everyone for your support..it means a lot to me! Hi Alison..I am not sure what is going on. It might pass, but I am new to this myself so maybe somebody else had a similar episode and could help? I hope it tones down soon! Just a brief update on my T: I went to an ENT last week and...

    1 Month in and Starting to Function. But It's a Pain!

    Hi David, My tinnitus started the same way, I just woke up one morning and it was there. It was and still is a tough thing to accept and I've been having the same thoughts : why me/it's not fair. But I guess everyone is dealing with something in their lives and this is something we have to deal...

    Thank you so much! I am still hoping that it is temporary, but with each day passing I am losing hope that it will get better :( Thanks for the info, I'll look it up definitely! Another question: Do any of you experience multiple sounds in your ear? My T started with just high pitched noise...

    I just woke up one morning with it, have no idea how and why it came. I have to admit that I liked to listen loud music on my headphones, so that might be the reason? Although I did not do it so often, but maybe it is the accumulation over the years? I am not sure. I went to the doctor and he...

    Hi everybody. My name is Jelena and I am so glad I discovered this forum. My tinnitus started about a month ago and it has been hell, honestly. I never really knew that something like this is possible and that so many people suffer from it. I was robbed of silence one morning, when I woke up...
