Remeber its the anxiety that makes u not able to sleep not the tinnitus. alot of people got TT over 80 DB constant in their ears and sleep like babies. I also get trouble sleeping when im "subconsciously anxious over a loud sound"
Did exactly the same numerous times. I remeber i had to take a "phone call" over a television that had like 80% volume and it was screaching from the cheap speakers with high pitch noice when they talked. It was a 90DB on my phone. I lasted like 2-3 minutes before i had to insert my earplugs...
Orange01 THIS is exactly me. Ive figured the last "panic attack" that i had phonophobia. Just remeber that i have it when i hear a "loud sound" actually cancels the panic mode for me to know that i just "use my brain wrong" and this have worked VERY well over this 2 past weeks and as a result...
Yes my wardrobe incident made a huge setback but now im on track again. I think 99.5% of my setbacks probably are just temporary and i think the brain is alot to blame about that. Had 2 "loud" incidents today but i just goofed it off saying "there is possibly not a reason to worry" and sure as...
Starting to forget my tinnitus a little bit more again. Still think it spiked thru the wardrobe incident but somehow i dont "care as much" when the anxiety is low. I actually manage to work up the courage to prebook a trip to an all you can eat shrimp buffe in the next week!
Anxiety gone now after the wardrobe incident. I still have a spike tho. the only good thing about this is that i actually realized that i suffer from phonofobia (always thought so but now i know for sure)
Anxiety seems to mostly have subsided now which is great. Now im more "annoyed" then scared of the spike. Tinnitus still loud tho, hope it will subside
Still in the wardrobe spike. Anxiety kind off comes in "wawes" its like im feeling okey then suddenly i get heatstroke and getting butterflies in my stomatch etc. I hope the spike will subside when the anxiety symptoms end. Its not fun when u cant mask it and u have 2 more sounds in your head...
Still in the spike, anxietywise i feel alot better with less doom and gloom thinking but the spike is still agressive and loud. If it is bc of the anxiety over the wardrobe accident i wonder how long after the anxiety is gone the spike will actually calm down.
Today we drove past a construction site when i was talking to my mom in the car. I held my fingers in my ear while we drove past the site since they were using jackhammer right next to the car and responded to her question. I was like "wow that was loud talking with the fingers in the ears" i...
I am not as anxious about the incident anymore but im very irritated since its very hard to not hear it and im also for some weird reason im very sleepy.
imagine doing something so silly that running into a wardrobe could ruin ur entire week... -.-
Thanks for the uplifting spirit. Been 3 days now and its still roaring in one of the ear :/ I seem to never manage to "keep calm" during these spikes and somehow subconcius get anxiety ridden over them. Think i should have learned after all these years!
Yes overfocusing sure makes them worse!
