Hello, I will make a year this month with my tinnitus.

When I first got tinnitus, it was not as bad as it is now.

Before, anything could of masked it. For example, watching tv, listening to music or any sound could of masked it but over time my tinnitus has gotten worse and worse over time. Before I could go to sleep and hear my tinnitus on a low level.

But now my tinnitus is unbearable and it is ruining my life. It is the loudest thing ever, it's a loud screeching sound with a big storm that I hear in my head and it goes into depth all the way. I can hear it over anything literally, nothing can mask it.

I'm so worried and get anxiety when I think about how worse it can get because it is not getting better, this noise is getting worse and the scary part is that I don't know what's causing it to get worse. It has ruined my life that I feel like I'm dying slowly. It is horrible, I am worried, I can not concentrate in school or in my job. I can't concentrate anywhere because of this loud screeching noise and storm that it is in my head 24/7 and that I can't mask anymore with simple music.

I'm asking if anyone knows any thing I can do that can make tinnitus better? What can't do to improve it?

Please I'm desperate for relief, doctors told me to just mask it with music at night. But my tinnitus is so loud that nothing can mask it. It is making me depressed and have full anxiety.

Does anyone experience this kind of severe tinnitus? Please help and advice.

I've done tons of research and was working on an eBook about it. Yes, it has probably 100 possible causes people suggest. I believe it can be multi-layered, ie. head trauma, plus anxiety, plus leaky gut, overstimulated & burnt out amygdala and/or adrenals, plus this that and the other thing.

1. You did the right thing getting your hearing checked. I'm sure it was a relief ruling that out.
2. I suggest you ask for an anti-anxiety med or see a naturopath for a natural solution (Gaba for instance).
3. Stop focusing on it. I truly believe part is an overworked brain.
4. Take the advice given for mild concussion - take a break from all they suggest.
6. Take Magnesium with L-Taurine in it.
7. Try drinking chamomile tea when needed to calm it.
8. Jump in the shower for a break.
9. Rub some Icy Hot or Voltaren to relieve the neck fullness pain.
10. Try ice around your neck and/or heat. Heat can be soothing at bedtime.
11. Go out and socialize it gets your mind off it.
12. Work on getting good sleep. Take melatonin 1-2 hrs before bed if needed to make you drowsy.
13. If it's really loud for sleeping try running a fan, sound machine, or even TV on low. Or change rooms. I found when mine was at its worse sleeping on the sofa was better because the sound of the ticking clock, fridge and furnace in that room were comforting.
14. Trust that with one word God can heal you. Pray.

I get 2 days of quiet every 3 days and it is so wonderful. But it continues to come back at present. I'm just starting a candida stop program, have been addressing parasites and leaky gut. It's been a long journey this past year. We do try everything we can.

your logic is exactly why people really don't ever get over their Tinnitus

I couldn't agree more.

I can relate. My tinnitus is slowly getting worse too. Don't know what caused it. Nothing wrong with my ears. Nobody has any suggestions. I have had it now for a year, but it is getting worse. Doctors don't help. I have been drinking, which helps temporarily. Mine is coming from the neck and upper cervical spine. I can relate to others who have problems. Don't know what to do. I wish so much I didn't have this. I would almost rather have anything else, even an injury, illness, which you may slowly get better, or even if you don't get better, at least it is not lingering. I don't know what to do with this storm in my head.

Hello
I am sat here and have just read your post and it describes my own condition its as if I wrote it. I was told in 2015 that it is caused by Cervical Stenosis C5/C6/C7and a herniated disc. I was told it will get worse the professor said the narrowing of the route canals will cause the T to increase I am sat here and its difficult to concentrate sleep is virtually impossible I'm 57 and feelmy life is over. I also suffer from Psoriasis Arthritis have done since age 19. I take every day as it comes I have seen 4 Different ENT's and they all agree will the Prof that its my neck . I'm sorry for u but in my case there is nothing to be done. I have absolutely no hearing loss
