I've done some low intensity hiking with my 8 year old over the last few months. I was hoping to get out there on my own this weekend but wasn't able to pull it off. I'm surrounded by state forests and conservation trails. I'll report back once I'm able to get out there.
Lane, that's good advice. My tinnitus began over a year ago, shortly after getting one of those small trampolines /rebounders. I stopped using the rebounder and began taking brisk walks, looking for hills to get a better workout. It's worked out pretty well. A couple of days ago I decided to get out the rebounder and exercised on it for about 25 minutes. It felt good at the time but now I'm dealing with a spike. I'm hoping it goes down soon. I'm feeling certain now that jogging or rebounding is a bad thing for some of us.
Sadly the opposite is true. The quote in my "concerned" post is an almost literal quote from valued poster Michael Leigh.
Don't ask Michael Leigh for research to back up his wild claims, it's something he never has done and never will. He likes to fear monger. When you run you're misaligning your chakras and Zeus thunderbolts your brain, for all we all we know.
I'm a runner and I've also been experiencing louder tinnitus, ears burning and headaches of late. I haven't been able to put my finger on what's going on and have tried everything, short of not running. I've experienced this once or twice before and what I remember, the ears burning and headaches seemed to go away on its own after a while. The first time it happened, I was referred to a neurologist who suggested the headaches were tension related. I occasionally take (tension headache) Excedrin which seems to help with the ears and headaches but recently learned that caffeine is listed as an active ingredient which concerns me. I don't consider myself a tense person by nature although the louder tinnitus could be a contributing factor. It seems odd but if louder tinnitus causes the tension and the tension causes the louder tinnitus, it's a catch-22.

I am beginning to tire of you as I did with Bartoli who is now placed on ignore. This is because of constantly interfering and annoying me, without any provocation on my part. He was happy as a lark when people read his posts ridiculing me. However, when I turned the tables, which I hasten to add wasn't to ridicule, his response was an outpouring of emotion. I felt like reaching for my violin, and playing alongside the 1st movement of Mozart's requiem: D minor K.626 as I felt such remorse for the unfortunate fellow.
I don't go through your post history, I just rate stuff funny when I come across it if I find it funny. What evidence is there that running makes tinnitus worse?
Thank you also for your comments. I will always be respectful on any forum that I visit. Please peruse my post history and you will not find any that contain expletives or other forms of bad language. Neither will you find where I have initiated an argument with another member. That was not the way I was brought up. My parents are no longer here and when they were, I never used a swear word in their presence.
Tension headaches are caused by the loud tinnitus coupled with ear burning in my case. The last time I ran it had a wind speed of 9 mph and isn't high but still high enough for anyone who suffers from hyperacusis. Unfortunately. I have had tension headaches for the past 9 days with very loud tinnitus. Ears burning most of the tine too. I have never had it that bad - also the tension headaches is making me tired. I would try to stay away from running and only run if wind speed is less than 5 mph.
Yes but treadmills can be very loud and boring. I think the foot impact on the treadmill which reverberates through the body and to the ears can be detrimental to tinnitus.
Yes it does. Cycling with traffic and wind is just awful. With running I have changed my route to avoid cars but still come across some cars on my route though it's fewer now. The worst part is having to deal with constant tension headaches which is not going away. I have had them occasionally in the past but now it's incessant.
Weights Is fine but swimming is loud with noise of water and from people. Acoustics are bad in swimming pools.
Interesting. For me exercised used to make me hear more balanced but lower, quieter (I had severe hyperacusis). However, lately exercise spikes my tinnitus a bit. It is strange...
