So your tinnitus became reactive, and you managed to calm down to a better place? You've said nothing of how you achieved this. Has your reactivity changed at all?

I think reactive tinnitus is caused by damage-beyond-damage. Your brain hears a lot of different frequencies from 'traffic-noise'. The brain is perhaps filling in the spaces for the numerous frequencies you have lost hearing, hence the reaction. This is similar to how the blindspot in your...

Has vacuuming with earmuffs on ever affected your tinnitus before?

I quoted @Rainer, saying his statement was crucial (post #7). You then wrote (in your next sentence): My question for you @MindOverMatter; how can you tell a person that they "don't know" what they are talking about when all they've done is quote from a person that you "agree with"?

The above is the most crucial paragraph of this entire thread.

If you read my posting, you'll see I am referring to NON-audible frequencies, beyond that of human hearing and therefore beyond that of a decibel (sound) meter.

EMF exacerbates tinnitus, that's my opinion. I've said this in a previous posting. TMS treatment will be extreme EMF.

This is a good success story for tinnitus resolution. It’s especially encouraging, as it shows that tinnitus can reduce over time, the hope of every person who lives with it. Thank you for sharing your experience in such detail and for updating regularly. I wish you well.

It’s as if your tinnitus has a delayed reaction to noise exposure, or rather to the artificial amplification of noise. This often happens to those with reactive tinnitus. It’s interesting that the hearing aids are making your tinnitus worse. Can you turn the volume down a bit? Do the hearing...

@Bashy74, have you tried listening to other music?

Does the music/songs ever change?

This is typical rhetoric from a therapist when it comes to severe tinnitus. No therapy from anyone will change your tinnitus. There is a common narrative that “normal” sounds will not cause further damage to your already compromised auditory system, including the inner ear and cochlea. I...

@locoyeti, could you describe what your tinnitus sounded like when it first started, and what it sounds like now?

Yet another so-called “new” tinnitus sufferer posting for the first time. I’m not interested. I’m not reading it. There’s no evidence you ever had it—not even a single previous post.

@ScG2023, I noticed you have started four threads since January 2025, sharing information about your condition and asking questions, but you have only responded in one of the threads that received replies. Just a bit of advice: try to keep your story in one thread and respond to the replies you...
