I'm an Army veteran that has tinnitus from loud noise exposure and nobody has any solutions for me. The thought that nobody has any solutions is unacceptable to me. If we can send a rocket to the Moon, we can figure this out.

First of all, I’ve had tinnitus since my time in the army, starting in 1981. I was in artillery, so the noise exposure was intense. In 2003, I had a spike that led to a breakdown, leaving me chronically fatigued. I slept through most of 2003 because of tinnitus. In February 2024, I developed...

I'm so glad you asked that question. Back in 2003, all I could hear was the loud ringing in my ears. I had a mental breakdown because I couldn’t sleep and couldn’t work. Initially, I could go golfing, and it would help me forget about the tinnitus. But eventually, even while golfing, the...

I have refused to take any more hearing tests because they make my tinnitus worse. During my last test, the technician instructed me to press the button whenever I heard a sound. I was already in the booth, and my ears were ringing loudly—BBBBBRRRGGGHHHH! I started pressing the button...

I think it is so sad that not one person can tell me anything that can help me survive the tinnitus. Tears times infinity. :cry:

I was in the Artillery, so I was exposed to loud noises as well. I’m surprised that more people in the music industry don’t have tinnitus. Thank you for your wonderful music.

I haven't done anything with family or friends in years. It's hard to be happy and have conversations with people when all I can think about is the loud, blaring ringing in my ears. My life has been miserable, and all I do is lie in bed, trying to sleep my life away. Endless tears!

I have a loud, nonstop ringing in both ears, but last November, I also started hearing a beeping sound in my right ear. It comes and goes, starting randomly without warning, and I never know when it will appear or disappear. At first, I thought it was triggered by my smoke alarm's low battery...

I took shrooms three times in the 1980s, and those were some of the best experiences of my life. The thing about shrooms is that they have both highs and lows. While the come down can be tough, the highs are absolutely incredible. At that point in my life, it was before I started noticing...

I have had non-stop tinnitus since 1981, when I joined the Army. I was in Artillery, but it was a combination of tracked vehicles, firing ranges, and artillery that caused the tinnitus. I managed to live with it until the late '90s, but sitting in a cubicle at work and struggling to fall asleep...

I have had blaring, loud, non-stop tinnitus since 1981 due to artillery exposure. I managed to cope with it until the late '90s, but by 2003, it drove me to the point of a nervous breakdown. I was so exhausted that I spent most of 2004 sleeping, overwhelmed by chronic fatigue. Last November, my...

Hi, My name is Stanley Pickle, and I developed tinnitus way back in 1981 while in the army. At first, I didn't think it would be a problem, or that it would go away. It NEVER went away. By the late '90s, it started causing significant issues, and I eventually had a breakdown in 2003. When I...

Back in February, I experienced pulsating tinnitus in my right ear. It mirrored my heartbeat, which I believe can be very dangerous. I was advised to see a doctor immediately. Interestingly, as soon as I made the appointment, the pulsating stopped, but I went ahead with the CAT scan anyway. If...
