I have new non-custom earplugs arriving today, and I have an appointment for custom ear molds on Monday. It will take about three weeks to receive the custom ones, so in the meantime, I'll be using the non-custom earplugs. I'm not sure why I thought playing in a concert band or jazz band...

For the past few weeks, I've been getting headaches every early evening or late afternoon. My tinnitus has also worsened. Two hearing-related things have been happening for about three months: 1. I joined a concert band, playing clarinet. I measured the sound levels at our last practice—it...

Has Neosensory worked for anyone? You are probably still in the 2 month period of trying it. My tinnitus is so loud that I'd do anything to quiet it down. Is there ever going to be a cure? Even something that makes it not so loud? Is anyone actually working on it? It seems like devices like...

Did you ever find a doctor who would help? Mine is out of control loud, and the 3 ENTs I have seen, along with an audiologist say there is nothing they can do. They have offered me hearing aids which do help for my hearing lose but do nothing for the tinnitus. I want to see a doctor who cares...

I have had tinnitus as long as I can remember. It is a high pitched ringing in my ears. In the last 3 years it has become unbearable. I have always been able to clench my jaw and it makes it a lot louder. I can't imagine life continuing like this. I'm worried that it will just keep getting...

As you can see by my post history, I've had tinnitus for most of my adult life. About 2 years ago it got really loud. Also about 3 years ago, I started down the path of the worst anxiety I have ever had. Daily panic attacks. The anxiety has slowly gotten better. To the point where I have weeks...

Update. I gosaw the ENT. Nothing is wrong. It eventually went back to manageable levels but during the covid 19 outbreak it went back to the same 10/10 level. It gets worse in the evening especially when I go to sleep. I'm really thinking this new level of tinnitus is the new normal. It's...

I looked that up and I don't think that is it. Yes when it's really bad loud sounds annoy me and sorta hurt, they aren't unbearable. And there are lots of examples like today: during the day it seemed to less loud. Early evening it was at a 10..sound of my daughters cell phone, car radio...

anyone? I'm seeing the ENT tomorrow. This is so bad, it's hurting my ears.. giving me a headache. This can't be right. I hope the ENT has something good to say. I don't know how I'm going to live with this.

I've had tinnitus for a while (high pitched ear ringing). Long as I can remember. I got hearing aids after going to a doctor about the problem 3 years ago. Last week, Sunday night I the volume went to a 10. I couldn't sleep. I had to eventually take Nyquil. It came back after a few days, and for...

Haven't had time to read through all of the messages in this thread. I have tinnitus and it is worse when I wake up. It gets very annoying when I wake up early and I want to go back to sleep but can't. I have been to the audiologist and I have hearing loss with a drop at 8k in both ears. They...
