I used to have occasional spikes.. After they would subside I wouldnt even think of it but this feels like a constant spike. Absolute hell at first but now it just infuriates me. Somehoe worse in the left ear, thank god for masking sounds..

That hiss usually only comes from older tube televisions turning on. My tinnitus set it's frequency level with my tv.. So its as if I always have a tv on wherever I go.. If the vision is relative then this certainly is a nerve disorder.

Huh.. Right before my tinnitus came to it's current ridiculously loud level my eyes started to go. I started seeing floaters of many varieties and light spots, which I still do. Could this somehow be relevant?

"Prepare for the worst; Hope for the best". Ben this can go either way, do not sit and wait for it to settle just try to go on with your daily activities (With masking noises!)

I guess I can say that what I have is a permanent spike. Meaning.. It can happen again..

There have been very few things that have helped me escape from the wretched noise but one of the few things if not the only truly effective one was music. I've been in this group for going on three years and I've created alot with them and hope to continue to do so for many years to come...

Feeling human again.. Not sure if that's a good thing.

Today isn't the exact day that this all started, my memory has been a bit shot ever since this happened. In a sense I'm learning to live with it, I have masking down to a science and I know how to distract myself. The anxiety is still very present and the intense depression greets me with every...

It really is rough, the only time I feel normal anymore is when I'm hammering away on my set. I'm happy have to that sort of refuge. What are your coping mechanisms RaZaH?

My tinnitus sparked not but two weeks after use of etymotic in-ear monitors, I'm a drummer myself and have generally taken decent care of my ears but just before It sparked to its current level I was more anxious than Ive been in my life. There certainly is some connection.. From what I've seen...

I tried marijuana and it spiked my anxiety levels subsequently causing my T. Or thats how it seems.

I just want to thank you for your kind words. This is the most difficult thing Ive ever had to deal with..

"The grass is greener" we'll all be tinnitus alumni soon enough LOL I wish you guys luck!

Soon amputees won't have to worry about living their days without a limb; blindness would soon be a thing of the past. Soon we won't have doctors spitting those loathsome words "get used to it." Stem cell research is the next step in human evolution. Or re-evolution.

No positive changes as of late.. Insomnia is setting in. Talk about a rut
