Thanks for the reply! Yes, it does suck and is a distraction. Honestly, I always thought my tinnitus was entirely sound-related. It is strange how psychoactive drugs can seem to affect it in unexpected ways. I never had issues with alcohol or regular cannabis, but this experience has definitely...

I recently experienced a spike due to Delta 9, which a friend persuaded me to try because it was cheap. It was a bad decision. My initial permanent tinnitus actually started from a brief but intense exposure to sound. Specifically, it was caused by a one-second blast at full volume from an...

I am in the same situation as the previous person. I first visited this website during my initial tinnitus onset. Since then, I have not returned because I eventually habituated and stopped caring about it. To be honest, visiting this website can be counterproductive to some extent because the...

I’ve had tinnitus since a loud auditory event (a headphone blast) in March 2017. At first, it seemed catastrophic, but over time, I habituated. For most of the past few years, I was quite fine with it. I stopped noticing it most of the time and stopped caring. I could go a month or three...

More catastrophic thinking --- no, not really. It's more like habit and impulse - you can build them up, and tear them down. If every morning you shoot up and then calculate how loud your T is, you are basically building a habit that will ensure you will be doing that years from now. Just...

Jaybeee, I highly recommend the book "Back in Control" - it's written by a spine doctor about chronic pain management (he also had Tinnitus). I suggest you get the ebook and start reading immediately. Stress, negativity, emotion --- and yes, although Tinnitus sucks - "catastrophic" thinking ...

I really think stress is a big factor in aggravating and maintaining T. The T is a sensory stimulus, yes. Not even necessarily a negative one, though yes it's perceived that way, obviously, by most everyone. You really need a kind of 'zen' attitude towards it though, which is difficult, and an...

My twin brother told me that he had tinnitus when I told him I was stressed/ drinking heavily because of T. Mine started 2/28 slash 3/1 ... so I'm a month in. Let me say, I still notice it, but I've read a few books already on moving forward, chronic pain management (related I think, consider...
