    Habituation to Low Frequency Drone

    It sounds like a car idling. I often mask it by being close to an open window near the trafic or going outside my appartment and sit on the stairs. Theres a heater somewhere in the basement that hums slightly but in the right frequency.

    Sound Suddenly Getting Louder in Response to Other Sounds

    My low piched hum gets louder while exposed to sound and so does the ringing. When the sound is at a certain volume the T is masked or stopped

    Complete Silence!

    Yes a few times it has happened but mostly because I then had fullness in the ear. When that was gone the T normally came back. A few times it didnt untill hours and even days. I soo much want to know what made it come back. Hope some day I will. But when it is gone, wow, so nice. Just want to...

    Anyone with Tinnitus that Goes Completely & Comes Back?

    The "What If..." Thread

    Oh yes have been thinking that many times. Shouldnt have taken that drug. It didnt help anyway and am now left with a horrible side effect. If it at least had helped for what it was prescribed that could have made the T a little more bearable or maybe not. But what does it help thinking like...

    Just a Load Off My Mind

    Hi! It's been a while since I've been on this forum. Not that I don't care about tinnitus sufferers. But when my tinnitus isnt bothering me to much I just want to forget it and not being reminded of it. Yes I am escaping it. Probably not the best way to live with T. For almost two weeks ago I...

    Metformin and Statins — Can They Worsen Tinnitus?

    Yes I know. Seems noone has had any issues with these drugs. I will contact my doctor to let me use Simvastatin instead of Atorvastatin.
