Took it on Saturday, but if we are keeping a log of active users participating here then consider me done.
@Markku @Hazel
Some questions I would like to see that I don't on any surveys I've taken are in regard to ear issues arising post-tinnitus onset (as some people say some of these things are natural prior to onset).
- clicking when swallowing
- air getting trapped in the ear when swallowing
- pressurization problems when traveling (sometimes on car rides my ears now pop a ton and this never happened before.)
- patulous eustachian tube-like symptoms
Can't think of any others presently but I've seen plenty of threads on these issues so it would seem to be useful data for researchers to acknowledge and factor into looking at tinnitus in my opinion.

I had the same experience with the question about hearing loss. Mine is in the mid-frequencies, but the options were only for low and high frequencies. I added this as a comment at the end.
Another thing I noticed was that the survey only wanted to know about other conditions that had been diagnosed by a clinician. This meant I had to choose None for a few questions even though I actually do have some of the conditions. (I usually don't bother seeing a doctor for things that have no effective treatments. And with the craziness in the US healthcare/health insurance, I avoid being diagnosed for things that aren't serious or life-threatening.)

I answered them as if I was actually diagnosed with it. It seems to me this is valuable information for the study so I didn't care if I actually was diagnosed or not, at least when I'm sure I have it.

I've noticed there is often some ambiguity here when it comes to audiograms and frequencies and not everyone uses the same definition. I believe many here have never done an extended audiogram.
What should we consider as high frequency?
What exactly is low, mid and high?
8kHz is only halfway an extended audiogram. It's not even halfway the full spectrum.
Do we presume that everything over 8kHz is is high frequency or is it rather ultra high frequency, which is not mentioned.
Perhaps it was better to add some definition to it to optimise data quality.

I'm dealing with this right now. To go from quiet swallowing to clicking hundreds of times a day is harder to deal with than the tinnitus itself for me.
I hope there's been a fair few thousand fill this out as it's such a meaningful and useful thing to do, and it's so easy as well.
If you haven't filled it in yet, what's stopping you? Get cracking otherwise I'll grass you all up to @OnceUponaTime!

My ears squelch and click all the time. If you stop focusing your attention on it, you'll eventually filter it out and you'll stop noticing/caring.

We're over 4,000 now, although not everyone has filled it in completely. Our previous record was 6,000 fully completed responses so I really want to pass that!
Please share the survey wherever you can!!!
