I thought I would never have to deal with the problem of tinnitus, but I was wrong, of course I was wrong...

Terrible night, intensive fireworks for over 1 hour. I'm a wreck. T raging, earpain and migraine. Happy New Year.

Seconds after the year change, I got a huge SBUTT that seemed to be coming from the center of the head. Then one ultra high pitched in the right ear. Now having a MEM episode. Great start.

Happy new year. 2024 was woeful and the first year with T but I'm determined to have a better year learning to deal with this. Stay strong everybody 💪

Are you the same @MaximBrutii on Reddit? That posted about hydroxyzine? I just took my first pill and am freaking out, since I just got this mess from Wellbutrin in November, I've been pretty much an insomniac this week so… any advice or words of encouragement to ease my brain?

How are you doing, Matthew? Has your tinnitus faded any? Has your hearing improved?
MatthewR
Thank you for asking. And the answer is yes. I'm doing much better. Tinnitus is there, still have hearing damage but I can live a normal life for the most part. Im so happy to have healed as much as I have it's insane…. It's a whole story id like to share one day. How are you holding up Mark?
Mark F.
Glad to hear things are calming down/getting better for you! You are soooo young (I am 55), I bet you continue to improve with more time. Being young really helps when it comes to healing.

I am doing pretty good, all things considered. Still have tinnitus, but I am used to it and it rarely freaks me out anymore. Ear pain and hyperacusis are gone! I am very vigilant about using earplugs and/or earmuffs if I am in a noisy environment. I have faith things will continue to improve with TPP. Time, Protection, Patience.

Hey Mark, in really struggling with my tinnitus at the moment and could do with a little hope. Did you see any improvement in the first 3 monthes or was it not until the 4/5 month point?

Well after 2 monthes I started to mellow a bit but then suddenly I seemed to go backwards. My sleep has also been reduced to 2/3 hours a night. Been pretty hard but im very fortunate to have a loving family who are trying their best to support me. I'm glad your anxiety has improved alot!
Mark F.
Do you get regular exercise? Just going for walks outdoors can really help ease your mind, even if it's only temporary. Weight-lifting and running/biking can also help a bunch. The idea being to work/exercise to the point you're exhausted at the end of the day...and consequently you sleep longer/better.
re-animator
No but im going to look at joining a gym tomorrow. As you say the tiredness from the exercise will probably help. The anxiety has lessened now....I just feel quite depressed but I think if I can resolve the sleep issue that this will improve. The tinnitus doesn't intrude much whilst I'm at work it's just being tired really. Hope your doing ok.

Well a positive if there is one to pull from this... The distortion or sound when I speak has gone away about 95%. T is still more reactive and piercing than before and its been humming in silence like crazy (that is an ongoing off and on thing), hopefully that's temporary as well... only time will tell. Don't get complacent is all I can say, no matter how well you think your doing it take minutes to undo it all.

hello! just wondering how you're doing now? have you taken any other medication or vaccines since getting T? how did it go? thanks!
BellaMia
Hello and how are you? I've been doing a lot better. I went from catastrophic T with Hyperacusis to almost no hyperacusis and mild to moderate T. I have taken medications since with no set backs. As far as vaccines I have stayed away from them and don't plan on getting any.
ellees
good to hear! what medications have you used? or are currently using?
BellaMia
I've used antibiotics, Tylenol, anti anxiety (Ativan) but very rarely, Advil, cold medicine. That's all I can think of.

I feel this spike is going to be permanent. I don't know what to do. Like I said I am tired, so damn tired of
this...

Just noticed there is a new tone... Fml :grumpy:
Sodlin
Lately my TT has been having so many tones thats i cant even "hear it" its like so many sounds that i cant even find the original TT by all the other sounds. Its weird. I know 1 is from muscles since i only hear it when i "do things" like bend over to pick stuff up and etc but im around 3-6 sounds now depending how im feeling.

I'm doing good right now, feeling normal and quiet. I'm not sure if drinking diluted DMSO plus putting some in my ear canal is helping? Time will tell.

Got some sleep last night, not a ton, took a Benadryl around after trying to sleep for hours @ 11 and fell asleep around 2-3 and slept in until 9 Still very tired but T seems less loud. I just want my normal sleep habits back.

Hi Sandra,

I have the same type of tinnitus like you. How are you doing with it these days please? Would love to hear from you
dakukir1

Got my third nightguard two weeks ago and I'm carefully optimistic. The kind where only the front teeth touch it. T has been very, very low.
kaymath
Yesterday was such a good and quiet day. I worked out and walked the dog and cleaned the house.. so why was I awake ALL night? T is louder today. Took a Benadryl that didn't work last night so don't know if it's from that or no sleep.
SharonBell
@Lipshitz yes I'm better my T is worse, but learning to deal with it better. I just stay busy, try not to think about it and do everything O use to do.

Glad to hear your doing well with it even though it worsened , I have a lot of worsening days also but I just try n keep my mindset right about it .
