I have a high pitch tone in my right ear, and occasionally, especially in the morning but lately at night too, I hear a low grumbling sound and I cannot hear the frequency externally generated from my noise masking speaker. At first, the low pitch sound scared me, but now I'm wondering if it is...

I'm not sure what you mean by "ear fullness" but I think I might have that. Feels like my ears are stuffed or something? In the morning I can barely hear the faint masking sound that I had on all night. I really should give ear plugs a try.

I had a dream last night where I thought my tinnitus went away and I was walking around in silence. Now that I'm awake I can't imagine silence. The brain is weird. Incidentally, it was also the first time I took this new supplement to help me sleep... Magnesium with bentonite, hyssop, and...

Don't the 1% control the whole world? In the U.S. Henry Ford created the 40 hour work week and nobody seems to think that should be reduced 100 years later.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm thinking it's proximity. My acoustic trauma was being within 10 inches of a power saw and other power tools that could be heard a mile away. So even though a concert is loud, normally people do not have their ears within 10 inches of the source of the...

My wife also can't sleep without ear plugs. I think she has hyperacusis. She said when she was a teenager she'd stand next to speakers at concerts intentionally in order to hear her ears ringing the next day... but she doesn't have T, just sensitivity to sounds now. Makes me wonder if it...

Last week I was feeling really bad. Not only the tinnitus, but basically because I've accomplished very little of what I wanted in life. The tinnitus is just like the final straw. But, then I remembered some advice given below regarding Gratitude. Remembering to feel gratitude for the things...

I use the Alexa speaker. I have a Sound Oasis too but find the Alexa easier to use with voice control (need to make sure it's on loop mode). I have trouble finding the right buttons on the Sound Oasis at night. Rarely I'll use both at the same time if there's more than one thing I want to...

I'm surprised how few people voted ALWAYS. I always play "Blue Noise by White Noise from Spotify" on my Alexa speaker. It masks it perfectly, but I might give ear plugs a try. I would think it would make things worse but who knows. I remember the first couple days after my injury that I did...

I think Warren should win. It seemed odd that Warren brought up something Bernie said privately, seeing as how it can't be proved, but apparently Warren thought it was important enough to address. Regardless, it's time to have a woman president. Democrats should just keep running women until...

I've always voted for Democratic Presidential candidates, but here is a counter argument against Bernie: https://gregolear.substack.com/p/bern-after-reading-i-recognize-the It asserts that Bernie, like Trump, is a Russian active measure in addition to being supported by the NRA. Not to say...

Seeing the horse reminded me of this music from Red Dead Redemption:

I'm imagining it for the most part. I'll talk to my doctor again. I know the ENT would not prescribe anything, but maybe that's normal.

That's a good point, but I would like to see if my anxiety can be reduced. I also had issues I wanted to talk to a psychologist about before the T came along and sidelined things.

1) I also have less respect for doctors. If they do not know how to understand people who have T then they should refer me elsewhere. 2) I used to want to get old and retire someplace quiet in the country. Now I'm really thinking a loud city would be ok or above a bar. 3) This problem...
