Left hearing aid stopped working randomly. Oticon really has some shoddy quality. Mar 9, 2021

  Hey does the UHF tone bother u less? 2 mo in and mine is centralized and reactive and driving me crazy. Completely unmaskable

  Hello. I say you posted that your tinnitus went up after getting Moderna vaccine...is it still up or did it go back down?

    Hi, I thought it went up but it was just me paying too much attention to my T. If there was any change, it went back to normal within a day.

  I get kinda bummed when I look at pics from the day before my worsening happened.

    Ahh yes. I feel a deep sense of longing when I see pictures of me healthy. Goodbye old life - you are sorely missed.

    Yes. It is like a totally previous life for me. Seeing me in a movie or something.

  Had a video call with a new AuD who actually keeps up with research and was fairly excited about FX-322. Now that's a keeper.

    Is he better now with his T?

    @twa He said his T still fluctuates a lot but he's habituated to it.

    Too much anxiety, maybe you focus too much on it. Your life itself. Are you in a loud city or a local farm inside a field? Try to find your triggers or the cause

  Pitch change on one of my tones is causing me anxiety and nausea.. anyone got tips to deal with both?

    you learn to uncouple your feelings from events that used to generate a reaction in your body.

    @Steph1710 I've had it for 5 years but only noticeable in the last 6 months. I do fluctuate on a daily basis, but I was to the point where the fluctuations were predictable. This new pitch threw me for a loop but I know I'll get used to it eventually.

  Played a video game with a high pitched victory fanfare and now one of my tones is mimicking it? This is a joke.

    Curious if you were using headphones. And if you think it makes a difference.
    
    Jan 30, 2021
  3. wwtsai
    @BrOKeN_1 Nope, it was just thru my phone speaker at a low volume. I stopped using headphones after my tinnitus worsened back in August

  They really need to make hearing aids that can amplify the higher frequencies. These are doing nothing for my T.

    Hold strong for FX-322/OTO-413. You shouldn't need any hearing aids after those!

  Went for a walk cuz it was nice out and someone blasted their power tools right as I walked by their house. So freaking loud.

    This sort of thing is why I hesitate to ever go outside and talk walks. Doesn't help that I live right on a decently traveled street, so cars go whooshing by every so often. It's amazing how we even put up with this before.

  My right hearing aid which costs $2,500 crapped out after only 3 months of normal use. This is why hearing loss needs better treatments.

    Hopefully FX-322 should solve our issues and no one needs hearing aids.

  I think since my T is so high pitched/shrill, its causing me headaches. Anyone got any tips to deal with those?

    I get headaches too with burning head sensation after recent worsening (First orthodontic drill, then glass shattering in front of me...) :(

  What's worse: higher pitch/lower volume or lower pitch/higher volume?

    Definitely lower pitch, higher volume. Lower volume tinnitus that is high pitch is easy to mask and usually gets masked in ambient noise, from my experience.

  If I could just have the smallest control of my T it’d go a long way. Nothing I do or take affects it.

  It's not the silence I miss (haven't known that in years), but the ability to easily ignore my T.

  If a spike subsides to baseline would you need to habituate to your baseline again?

    I guess so. Also would you even remember what your baseline was, or what it sounded like?

    The pitch of the hiss ought to get lower and then it will become less noticeable.
