    Did My Tinnitus Get Worse or Is It a Common Cold?

    Last Saturday I had band practice/show so I was around music for about 7 hours that day. I wore earplugs and that helped decrease the volume. On Sunday night I began feeling a little congested and on Monday morning I woke up with my left ear clogged/full. My sinuses were full of mucus and so...

    Thumping in the Right Ear

    well, i got my T through expousure of loud music (i play in a band and go to a lot of shows) and also i listen to music really loud. i've stopped doing all that for that most part. My T right now is a low volume - it's more of a hissing in my left ear where it's worse but I only hear it when...

    Thumping in the Right Ear

    thanks for the response! hmm are you saying that when you inhaled the menthol crystals the thumping calmed down? i have a feeling that it is pressure in my right ear that's just not getting released - i sort of feel it somewhat blocked

    Tinnitus Spike

    it most likely will! there's no telling, but just try to do your regular routine. avoid sitting there and listening to it because that will only make it worse. to be honest, my tinnitus is constantly fluctuating right now - sometimes it's low, sometimes it's high but i'm just not letting it...

    Tinnitus Spike

    hi all, i haven't posted on here in a long time - mainly because i learned to live with my mild tinnitus. first let me describe what i hear. my hissing is equivalent to the hissing you hear on tv when you go on a "gray channel"- a little bit higher pitched though. it was very high (at least I...

    new here

    Hey guys! I'd like to introduce myself and tell my story. I'm a 19 year old who just discovered I have tinnitus. Last month I went to a show to see some bands and was standing very close to the PA. The next morning I woke up with some weird sensation in both my ears - that of pressure or a...
