High and unstable ringing in left ear

My hearing’s gone weird. As in, apart from the tinnitus. Everything sounds weird and sounds hurt

Newish symptoms: A low, pressure-like feeling. Fluttering eardrums, especially when I talk (?) & of course another good old increase

I’m on the train and I think I can hear my t through all the rumbling and mechanical sounds. (That’s what? 60db?) Help.

Now known as ‘the girl with the earphones’. But I guess that beats ‘girl in permanent state of serious mental breakdown’

So I literally haven’t stopped masking since one and a half year. There has to be permanent noise around me or I die.

I think there’s a (newish,) bilateral low humming sensation that’s almost pressure-like

There’s such a loneliness in not being able to really share your fear with other people.

Left ear has been completely muffled for two days now. I really hope it’s wax but it might be one-sided deafness :0

Haven’t been sleeping, and when I do tinnitus wakes me up at least five times a night. :(

Also, I’ve been tapering off xanax. There’s been a couple setbacks and I feel like crap but I’m slowly getting closer to getting clean :)

Still coping by masking. I can tolerate almost all noises except the ones in my head.

New higher frequency sound above all the others, it’s been 2 weeks, I’m worried now

Got my first decent mark since t! Still feel like they might’ve mixed up the tests :)

Suddenly lost hearing in left ear, it’s slowly coming back now. Quite a traumatic experience :(

It’s been two months after the spike, still no improvements

Right ear worse than left ear. Although the main sound is relatively low frequency I can now hear it practically everywhere

Doubled in volume. (Using this as a log)

Loud. Tired.

It’s spike time :’) (..assuming this horrid loudness will eventually subside)

Failed the first test I took since T (but at least I sat through it :)

Dentist appointment tomorrow. Quite worried about spikes :(

This is what it took for me to confirm I am indeed not someone who suffers gracefully

No airconditioner at work anymore:( makes it difficult to focus

Productive week. School 5 days and work in evenings and on Saturdays. Filling my days with things to do and background noise.

It’s not the anxiety, it’s literally the SOUND that bothers me! Wish people would take the direct effect of T more seriously

T slowly but steadily getting worse. Distracting and masking. It’s going to be a year ago soon.

Pretty sure there’s a permanent increase. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I don’t know what to do.

High pitched hiss in left ear after a cold. I really hope this goes away, it’s not maskable due to its high frequency.
