It's been over a week since I created this topic to introduce myself, and I just wanted to post an update. Has my tinnitus decreased? No. It won't decrease, because it's noise induced and I damaged my ears when I was a teenager. Has my attitude towards it changed? Has my quality of life gotten...

Thanks for the good vibes man. :) So an interesting development (not for my T... but my perception of it.) I called up my mom and shared with her my situation... turns out she's had T this whole time. The same kind as mine too. She said she always thought it was normal, and still thinks it's...

Hi there. Just dropping by to say I’m sorry for what you’re going through. I feel like we’re in a similar stage of life. I’m also 29 with the job and the stability, and my tinnitus also brings me down. But I try to look on the bright side and be grateful for what we have (like jobs and stability...

Thanks Lucifer! I don't believe I have hyperacusis. There's no particular sound that bothers me per se. However, I'll probably keep an ear out for any noise that's painful from now on. I've heard things about FX-322! Although I'm not sure if it will help me, because it seems to me FX-322 is...

Hi there. My name's Jonathan and I'm soon turning 30. Growing up, I was a drummer! Lots of loud sounds, and zero ear protection for years. I still play music to this day, just no longer on the drums. I think at some point as a kid, my tinnitus came about. I just never knew it was there. Fast...
