I got some relief using an EarPopper. I think there is some inflammation in my left Eustachian tube possibly causing the tinnitus.

Hi Dan, did you have multiple tones? Were they in head and ears?
dan
Yes multiple tones in both ears, head sometimes.

For anyone who likes to lurk profiles and see how things have ended up. Know I'm a rare case. I made a lot of mistakes. You won't end up like me. I can almost guarantee it. I'll be gone soon. There isn't hope for me to get better. I'm trying to stick this out but it's not possible. Noxacusis is a bitch. It shouldn't exist.

Was wondering if you are swiss? I'm based in Basel and suffering similar symptoms, and have come to similar conclusions.

Urk. Was out in the factory and had a conversation with one of the workers, he didnt know the question so he yelled at the top of hes lungs straight into my face on hes coworker like 15 metres behind me for hes attention.... I could litterally feel my peltor earmuffs vibrate from hes scream. Thank god i had both earplugs and earmuffs in. I hope this wont spike me...

I'm a huge arsenal fan for about 15 years. Only thing i look forward to is watching arsenal play every week but im loosing interest slowly in that as well. I just don't feel anything anymore in life.

Feeling like a cripple. Very angry today. Soundmachine turned itself off tonight, so i woke up from my T. Work is hell today. It's so unfair, the other folks do not have T from this event! Why is my body this fragile?!? Getting more and more intrusive thoughts, that my life is screwed forever.

"What's wrong with you all?" We don't have much choice in this tinnitus crap. BUT...we DO have the choice to toughen-up and quit complaining, and get on with life...or, stay stuck in self-pity and misery...or kill ourselves. I know I choose option #1. What will you choose?
DamagedJoe
I'm sorry if my reaction came across as if i wanted to attack someone. I'm not particularly emotionally stable at the moment.
Mark F.
It's ok. You are still very new to this condition. I know it sucks. But please hang in there! Have hope that the saying "time heals all wounds" is true. I understand all too well the feelings of regret too. Keep posting. You are not alone.

Does anyone else suffer from hearing loss and tinnitus from birth?
henkess
Nope not me, i got mine from ear medicine
Katleft
@henkess how did that happen? What was it?
henkess
I dont know, just a reular medicine for ears and i got tinnitus =( Its a common side effect i think on ear medicine
Katleft
Currently having side effects from my hearing aids but it's okay because its temporary! I know I'll get better soon.

Wow, I did forget my T Anniversary in 2024. 8.5 years now. I'm so used to it now, it's like an old friend.
2049v
have you had it 24/7 since it started? Is it severe?
BLane
Yes, well 99.9% of the time. If I get really, really shitfaced drunk on red wine, it'll turn it off, but at that point I'm too drunk to appreciate it. lol. I haven't tried that in a long, long time! My T sounds exactly like a boiling tea kettle screaming, but I don't notice it anymore unless I intentionally choose to listen to it. My mind habituated and tunes it out of my awareness....but it's always there.
2049v
Wow that's great. Was it severe?

Hey are you doing Matthew ? Hope all is well with you bro
MatthewR
Thank you so much for asking. I am doing great. I live a great life with a little bit of hearing loss and tinnitus, I hardly realize I have it nowadays. Although when I get sick and congested my hearing loss and T is very noticeable. Currently dealing with that right now haha but I'm doing much better than initially
A
Yeah man same here my T spiked a couple days but like you I was congested and had sinus issues . I just take Claritin and nose spray and it went down to where it is barely noticeable. Thank god we are doing better bro continue healing my friend it truly is a blessing . 🙏

If my right side TMJ and ETD let up, i'm sure i would experience ✨some✨ sort of relief.

Actually found this intressting find. My earplugs are 23 mm long and i always insert them fully into the ear (so much that i have problem getting them out)
. So in this case it would mean that i dont get any occlusion effect i guess?
Sodlin
I was out in the factory and had to "talk loudly/almost shouting" for like 30 seconds with earplugs deeply inserted. Im currently under at spike and abit anxious about all this "occlusion" effect. I always use Foam earplugs and it sound "quiter" when i speak then without them.

Foam earplugs is the best of hearing protection . Best noise reduction, less occlusion when properly inserted, well hidden, etc.

The only drawback—they can get quite painful after wearing for a long time.
Sodlin
@BrOKeN_1 I work at Volvos Engine manufacturing. I Work as a Quality inspector so i am only out in the "loud factory" like 1-2 hours each day. It is a challenge but im happy im not out in the factory 8 hours per day. I work evening shift so i got the office all for myself so i dont have to hear people yelling and stuff in the office area :)
Sodlin
@ZFire I also prefer the "foam ones" best. Got some costume molded but the occlusion in those just insane. Only downside is that it can be hard to hear with foam earplugs so i prefer EAR EXPRESS if i wanna be able to talk (like at birthdays, out in the store etc). They are also extremly fast to insert which is a big plus! I use Moldex "spark plugs" 35 SNR whenever i dont need to talk to someone.

How are you doing? My doctor prescribed gabapentin and took 300mg of it last night to start off with, it spiked so much i literally wanted to end it so bad. The noise literally made my head vibrate, I haven't slept in days.
vilebubbles
@vikaspratap im sorry. I spiked from gabapentin for several days. I'm not good either.

Hi Mark, how are you doing in the meantime?

How are you doing?
DamagedJoe
I'm not feeling well. I just can't manage to accept what I've done to myself. I'm angry and frustrated most of the time. Knowing that it will be like this forever robs me of the will to live.
Mark F.
I know the feelings. I just keep putting one foot in front of the other. It's all we can do sometimes. I have lived thru some horrible things in my life. Things I thought would never get better. But with time (in a couple cases...it was almost 10 years), they DID get better!
