About

- Location:

- Tinnitus Since:
- 03/2022
- Cause of Tinnitus:
- My guess is long-term noise exposure from earbuds
I'm 51, male, and live in the Bay Area in northern California with my wife, two children, and our dog.
I noticed my current bout with tinnitus on 27 Mar 2022. I have fluctuating tinnitus in my right ear that fluctuates by the day. Whatever I wake up to is what I get for the whole day. Sometimes it's quiet, and sometimes it's a loud high-pitched hiss. I also have slight reactive tinnitus in both ears.
As for causes, I have several possibilities--perhaps all of them. I have had mild hearing loss for years in both ears at the higher pitches. My right-side jaw muscles are twice the size as my left-side (I tend to clench). I have sleep apnea. My spine has minor scoliosis, significant kyphosis, and a torque that twists to the left as you go up the spine. My neck muscles are completely tense. I've experienced a great deal of stress and anxiety at work in the months prior. And I have used earbuds a great deal while working at home during lockdown.
"Joe" is my nickname, and I called myself "Cuber" because one of my hobbies is speedcubing. My average time on a cube is Sub 18 (meaning, I average somewhere below 18 seconds), and my fastest time is 10.56 seconds.
I also love street photography, classical guitar, and making creations out of Lego.
Thanks for reading!Interact
