@Zigs, @Daphne91: Hi, I’m a newer tinnitus sufferer (five months in) and also expecting my first baby this November. To be honest, I’m scared to death. I try to stay off forums because there’s often so much doom and gloom, but I’ve written a few posts here during tough spikes and always found...

It truly means a lot to me that you took the time to read and respond to my long post during such a difficult moment for me. I agree there is probably no exact playbook for managing reactive tinnitus, and I know I do not want to spend my life in earplugs. My morning and evening walks have...

Thank you for your reply, and for your kindness in reading and responding to my other thread that I posted today. As it turns out, I received a false positive Lyme test. I was retested last week and got the results yesterday. Since I am pregnant, I have learned that false positives for Lyme are...

Hi, would you still say that Zoloft helped lower your perception of your tinnitus? I was just prescribed it today. I have been suffering from tinnitus for four months. I am pregnant, and it has sent me into a major depression, so I feel I have no choice but to take the pills in the hope that I...

Hello, It would mean so much if someone could take a moment to read my story. I’m 24 weeks pregnant with my first baby at 36 years old, and what should be the happiest time of my life has been consumed by sudden unilateral tinnitus that began on April 13. Almost four months later, I still do...

Did the “Liam Stops Tinnitus” program work for you? I’m curious if it’s a scam, because it feels pretty scammy to me.

Hi everyone, (Sorry in advance for the long post.) I have what I believe is reactive and somatic unilateral tinnitus. It began very suddenly three months ago, on April 13. Some days, it is just a low hum with barely any beeping or buzzing. Last week, I even had five days in a row that were...

Hi @Samy, thank you for taking the time to read my long post. Since posting, I found out on June 10 that I tested positive for early or acute Lyme infection. At some point, I was bitten by a tick, but I do not know when. While sudden unilateral tinnitus can be a symptom of Lyme disease, it is...

I was just diagnosed with early acute Lyme disease three weeks ago. I'm pregnant, so they could only prescribe Amoxicillin for two weeks. I'm seeing a Lyme specialist soon to make sure there are no co-infections as well. Sudden, unilateral tinnitus is my only symptom. That’s why I wasn’t...

Thanks for reading my post. I’m currently being treated with Amoxicillin and will finish my two-week course this Friday. I also have an appointment with a Lyme-literate doctor on July 11 to be tested for any possible co-infections. In the meantime, I’ve been taking pregnancy-safe herbal...

Thank you for coming back and writing this. I needed it. I’m new to this forum and new to tinnitus. It started suddenly 2.5 months ago when I was in my first trimester of pregnancy. I was just diagnosed with Lyme disease—possibly the root cause of my tinnitus—and I’m now 17 weeks pregnant...

Hi everyone, I could really use some help right now. Please consider reading my post if you have time. I’m 17 weeks pregnant and have been dealing with sudden unilateral tinnitus since April 13, 2025, so it has now been over two and a half months. After seeing several doctors with no clear...

Do you have any update on your tinnitus, @Natalie Roberts? I am looking for hope and exploring a possible connection between hormonal fluctuations and my current tinnitus. I am 12 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing unilateral tinnitus in my left ear since I was seven weeks along. So...

Hi @melmay, Did your tinnitus ever improve or go away? I am 12 weeks pregnant and have been dealing with sudden unilateral tinnitus since I was 7 weeks pregnant. I have seen two ENTs and a few other doctors, but everything appears normal. My OB seemed unsure about this being related to...

I am currently 12 weeks pregnant. About six weeks ago, I suddenly developed loud, intrusive ringing, buzzing, and beeping in my left ear. Just when I thought it might be improving, it spiked dramatically. I ended up losing sleep for two nights, which I fear only made things worse. Since then, I...
