accidentally screamed when playing videogames a loud "F**K!". Ear feels abit full but hope i will be okey 
I have noticed the following changes since the beginning:
-there are loud and quiet days for me
-the sound in my "bad" left ear sometimes changes
-after getting up, T is usually quieter and gets louder again by bedtime
-there have been occasional days when the worst parts of my T were barely audible, but very rarely
-there are relapses, I am still very sensitive to noise at some frequencies

Hello everyone,
as of today I would like to document my progress regarding my noise-induced tinnitus.
I've had my tinnitus since October 25, 2024, so I'm currently at the beginning of the fourth month. I will try to post an update every month, or whenever there are significant changes.
I would be delighted if you would join me on this difficult journey!

Do insurance companies pay for suicide?
Feb 3rd Texas Roadhouse is donating all profits for Dine In and Out orders to the ATA. I told my wife this, and she said... What is the ATA?... I am thinking where have you been the last almost 2 years. 
Since getting this it has made me want to explore audiology as a career pathway. It's alarming how many unempathetic experiences people have had with the initial realization of having tinnitus. I think about how unprepared I was at first - I think I really needed someone who got it to help me understand more face to face.
Hi Kenneth, i can relate to your story. Can you manipulate your tinnitus with neck or jaw movements? I also developed tinnitus after a period of health anxiety, and much later developed eye floaters unfortunately. How are you doing? Any developments? Take care, wish you all the best!
Words fail to communicate how difficult every day has become.
Week 9. I'm pretty much tired of caring, but I still do. I have so many different sounds. They come and go and change ears/head. I have a static, an old car idling, a squeak, a hiss, an almost beeping sound, a saw sound cutting through a tree or an old porch swing, and a high pitch EEE. I'm tired. Don't know my baseline, it ranges from 2-5/6 maybe? Idk. What's wrong with my brain. What did those meds really do to me?
Dont think i got a spike from the incident posted below. (more then the anxiety from the incident). Got alittle bit "frustrated" playing videogame and "yelledish" which made me abit irritated in one ear so kinda got a "fishbowl" over my head atm but im pretty sure thats from tension. Other then that it actually feels pretty OK atm 
at first i wanted it to go away
then i wanted it to be not as loud
then i hoped it would at least remain stable
now i only hope to survive

Over the weekend, I came down with a sore throat and runny nose. Out of curiosity, I used an expired Covid rapid test and it came back positive with two solid red lines.
@SarahMLFlemmer so glad to hear from you. I don't get on here that much anymore.
@SarahMLFlemmer Im actually doing so much better. My Tinnitus isn't better it's actually worse. I have just learned to deal with it better. I work all the time and try and stay as busy as I can to keep my mind off it. I do the things I use to do now. I will wear ear plugs with really loud things also even though it makes it louder. I just deal with it. I'm so glad you are doing better.
My tinnitus has been incredibly near silence since my acoustic trauma. Even if it is still there, loud noises no longer bother my ears and I rarely suffer from spikes, which I am thankful for. I have one tone in two ears when I used to suffer from seven in one and four in the other one - and it is no longer reactive. I no longer suffer from ear pain, but this doesn't mean I test the limits either.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Starting to think the exploding head syndrome episode i had earlier last week was a real loud boom and maybe that's why my right ear has been more bothersome the last few days?
The constant invisible pressure to do certain things is so exhausting.
I lost all hearing on the left ear even after all the standard treatments such as steroid injection and hyperbolic oxygen treatment.
Hey all. Hope everyone's hanging in there. Thought I'd pop in and say I'm having more anxiety with my T, which happens every few months but eventually settles. Thinking about you all.
