    "Whatever you find worthwhile in life is worth fighting for." right now I need that sentence more than ever in my life.
    S
    Just couldn't sleep longer... Those radiators keep terrible noise at nights. Been listening them for months now even before T.

    hey Strife, I am in Connecticut, (USA). I am doing pretty well! With "T" there are good days and not so good ones. Today was a good one. My tinnitus is intermittent; so it is low at times and louder other times. When it is low, it does not trouble me at all after seven years now!
    S
    Nice to hear you can live well with your T :) I am still learning to cope with mine since right now at least, I lost my hobby (music), so it was big change into my life...
    S
    Took some pseudoephedrine. It rings! So I have thought this T of mine is blood flow related, even I got it from music.

    I think it´s also stress related, I mean we are musicians, it´s terrifying to know that our hearing could be damaged. You need to hang in there and keep your body strong!

    Hey there! Did you take the full dose of pseudoephedrine?

    Asking because the doc prescribed me some too, and would like to know if it made your ringing worse?
    S
    @Hyperanium at first it sounds maybe bit louder but not much. It's safe to take.
    S
    What?I can silence my head by contracting certain muscles in my head. When I release the tension, T is even worse! I need muscle relaxants.

    @Striveon it hurt the face like hell. But I tried and the hissing away for that moment. It didn't make it better. :(

    I think this is somatic tinnitus. Physio might be worth a shot. Search for physiotherapy and tinnitus in the forum, I wrote a post
    S
    I have my 1st physio appointment today...worth a shot..

    Computer fans make my T go crazy. Just sitting there. I swear they are not over 80db :D
    GlennS
    I actually love computer fans, or more appropriately, hard drive spinning noise. When I switched to SSDs the white noise from my desktop dropped enough to not really mask very well anymore.

    My old computer's fan is so quiet. The new computer is horrendous!! I do'nt understand. Same brand...

    How can I find the strength to go back to gym? I am very tired because of lack of sleep...
    Drone Draper
    It takes time. Just go and do what you can for now.
    S
    @Drone Draper I guess that is the right way. No use forcing myself. I've had sleeping problems for years so this does not improve my situation....

    I got T just before Christmas. I went to the gym when I was sleeping 3 hours a night, going through the motions like a zombie. Just keep with it. Exercise may spike your T, but it's typically temporary and being tired from exercise will help you sleep.
    S
    Anyone else feeling physical feeling in ear when spiking etc.? It sometimes feels like my ear has so much tension..like a spring.
    SashaG
    Yes, after I left the MRI it was my first symtom. I believed it was caused by a muscle inside my ear, which then lead to issues with the blood flow and finally the noises. I ask my doctor about that on Tuesday.
    S
    Tired as ever. Slept very badly. I miss silent mornings.

    @SashaG what setback did you have?
    S
    @SashaG yeah, I hoped too. I felt very good yesterday for a moment. I just want to make music...
    SashaG
    I was making progress, the sounds became quiter I still had a sound, 2 actually, but it seemed to get more quiet, I actually had moments of silence in the morning for a few minutes or afternoon some seconds. On friday I went to my doctor and he said, now is the time to wait and see. I did not take any new meds on friday, did live a more normal life and boom. It came back so loudly that I was crying for hours.

    What is the one thing Tinnitus sufferer would take with to deserted island with? Tinnitus. Because they have no choice. Ba dum tshhh!

    Right now, I would take my Tibetan Singing bowl. It feels like the only thing giving me relief on bad days
    S
    I felt normal for 30 minutes. Watched TV, I forgot about T, even tried to listen to it but didn't hear it. Almost had tears in my eyes.
    S
    Went to mall today. Had 2 terrible and painful spikes suddenly that I almost dropped my shopping bags. Buzzing like crazy. Effin hate this.

    Did this happen the day before, or the day when you got a T spike at the mall? I can see one getting problems after being in a very loud class for over an hour, but it is difficult to imagine it causing any serious harm in just 2 minutes...
    S
    @Bill Bauer i sure hope it didnt cause me to permanently increase and its jus a spike, perhaps no sleep, anxiety and last night using ear plugs is what has t louder? I didnt use the earplugs for class... it was jus so loud tho, but im trying to remain hopeful and calm :(
    S
    Did the mall spike subside???
    S
    I feel more aggressive than usual. Lack of sleep, maybe the prednisolon, and the fact I cannot do what I love. And can't even get a job.
    S
    I slept more than usual but I am tired. Exhausted. Morning was silent but now my head has this "static" noise.
    S
    I have not slept this well since I got T. This time I got 5,5 hours sleep. That's half hour more than usual!
    S
    I have the most amazing GF. She thought about me and bought me some tea that will help me sleep better. I will get it at Saturday.
    S
    Running did not do good. Now my head has been hissing for few hours. So it definitely has to do something with the blood flow.
    S
    Washed my teeth and my tinnitus got much louder.

    It is one thing to ignore the danger when there is nothing one could do to avoid the danger. It is another thing to be able to do something easily to reduce one's chance of making one's T louder and to refuse to do it.

    In any case, if what you do doesn't work out for you, please share your experiences here, so that others can learn from your mistakes.
    S
    @Bill Bauer yes of course I will use earplugs if I go to loud places. But normal life sounds should not be blocked he said. Like when I am in a mall or outside running. etc.
    Bill Bauer
    The problem with an electric toothbrush is not the sound - it is the Vibration.
    S
    My T has getting lower in volume. This night has been the most silent since getting it. Not sure if it's the cortisone kicking in.
    GSC
    I hope it goes away for you.
    S
    Well, I did not fall asleep anymore. 5 hours of sleep is not enough. Gotta stay positive.
