    Tinnitus Started a Few Days Ago, Incredibly Scared

    I felt the same when I first got it. Also in one ear. It's more than a year since it arrived and the reason I've logged in here tonight for the first time in months is that I realised today that it's almost gone. I assumed it would stay the same forever or just get worse. If I stop to listen to...

    Saying Hi — Getting the Better of Me

    Has anything happened that has made it get worse recently?

    4 Months On

    I was told by an audiologist that the short burst is normal and that 50% of people get that. Not just people with T. Depends on how often it happens maybe.

    Thanks Fungus. I didn't see your reply before this evening . Soon after my post I decided it would be best not to be on this website. Anyway things are much better for me now and what you said in your post more or less describes the feelings I have about tinnitus these days. I'm much better than...

    Things Can Get Better

    Tinnitus appeared in my left ear last Summer out of the blue. I had it for a week where I kept telling myself it would go away. After that I hit the internet and over the next few days without any improvement and reading the horror stories the tinnitus got the better of me. For weeks I was a...

    I tried the magnesium. These are just 250mg ones. I was taking one at night. To be honest I don't know if they worked or not but I was able to get to sleep. So placebo or not, who cares? I got off to sleep. Still taking them now. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Soon after posting this I read about...

    Back to Silence

    I've tried this a couple of times but at night and the sound has gone way up in pitch, I've described my emotions to myself but still had to lie there listening to the scream of it. It sounds like the sharpness of a laser sometimes. Usually at night as well. Evil thing.

    Cheers both of you. Good luck with that @grate_biff. @Karen I didn't know that about magnesium. I think I've actually got some of that. When this nasty thing first kicked off I was down the shop buying any old rubbish people were telling me to buy. I think I've got Vitamin Everything and a...

    Thanks you lot. It's been up and down for me mostly. And mostly down unsurprisingly. I was reading some of the more positive posts on this site earlier and becoming more positive. Then I came to a quiet but slightly annoying place and have had the extra high pitch ringing going. That one is...

    New at This Tinnitus Thing. Just Went to My Doctor...

    I've had mine for about a month and saw an ENT on the 9th. Seeing an audiologist at the moment. We're probably at a similar stage and I've been finding it very hard to deal with. Night time is the worst part of course. Like you, I'm trying to stick to reading the more positive stories. It's...

    I've had this for 2 weeks now and I can honestly say I don't know how you all stand it. I've been reading about AUT00063 and that even if it works it's years away from actually being used. Going a bit nutty.
