Going strong 
(2 of 2) Was definitely inflammation and not a sudden death of thousands of cochlear hair cells like I originally feared. Still gets annoying sometimes, but a little rest, some water, and stretching my neck and jaw, and I'm better.
(1 of 2) Four year mark: right now it's kinda like if I had just listened to a tape on a walkman and it's at the blank part at the end and I forgot to switch it off but there's some tape hiss. I listen to whole albums in the car and it's mostly great, with occasional annoying moments.

At least you were able to find a doctor. Mine won't and I'm afraid I'm going to suffer another major episode and then end up taking my life because of it. I don't even know what to do now except call emergency services and arrange for them to take me to hospital if this happens again because it will be the only thing that can save me from doing something to myself that would put an end to me.
Well I went from the post below to entering that time of the month and BOOM. Instant spike, increased reactivity, decreased mental and emotional tolerance, increased depression. As if this time isn't annoying enough 
How is everyone doing? Please share any updates or improvements in the comments section; inquiring minds would like to know.
T is so loud it hurts
Doing some better than 2-3 months ago from major spike in August. Last day of work is January 3rd, just trying to make it until then with so much paperwork and a large student caseload. Going to do my best to enjoy the holidays 
At least I have my peltors, but I don't really want to wear them in public.
Hello brother i enjoy your suffering i am going through the same mine started after prednisolone injections from my arm before that i had mild tinnitus, now i have severe t, dysacusis, hyperacusis and burning pain in my ears hundreds of floaters i am only 29 whats your problems rn?
I avoid speaking because it elevates my T. My voice isn't used to speaking anymore, it starts cracking after a conversation of 15' at normal levels. Yesterday I had a 45' conversation one to one and T is blasting so loud it hurts, left side of my head feels numb.
I'd like to apologise to the moderators who have to correct all my broken english posts. Sorry 
I am still here battling these afflictions. I will not give up. Everyday has pushed me to my limit, but I will continue to exceed them. I pray for everyone and anyone dealing with this, regardless of the difficulties that you face. It's been 5 years with nox and almost 10 with T. I love you all and hope that I can find the love for myself in the midst of tragedy and anguish.
Does anyone have experience with Magnesia?
Who knew plastic containers can sound like a bomb when opening them. And no I'm not on any drugs or alcohol!
Would increased intake of sugar and caffeine also increase the sound your tinnitus? Had a sweet tooth the last couple of weeks and have noticed a heightened volume. Curious if people had the same.
Earplugs keep falling out of my ears :/ idk if this is even viable, I might have to try different tip sizes. Kinda nervous to do that though since last time I went one size higher and it felt uncomfortable but might be because I didn't insert it correctly idk. This is annoying.
Waking up with burning ears and going to sleep with even more intens burning ears. It's a constant torture. Really wouldn't mind not waking up.
It's been louder for me for a few days now. I'm grateful that the anxiety isn't here towards it anymore - but it's still annoying to sit through and can be hard reminding myself to try and tune it out over and over again. I'm getting there.
Talked too much yesterday. T is elevated and now just talking one-to-one in a quiet room even bothers me.
Feeling Raw today. Failure to distract or mask on all levels. Just a spike... just a spike. Hope all my friends here are coping well enough. Much Love!
Yes it can improve a lot. The first months my dysacusis was about over everything. Nowadays it is just shower and church bells. Those sounds are distorted.
New tone today. Probably my 9th or 10th at this point. It's hard to keep track. This one is incredibly loud and in my left ear.
