The T is high pitched and dog whistle like to me. Lately it's been relatively quiet and I can go about my day ok. But, at night it can get loud when trying to sleep so i try to mask it with white noise, nature sounds, etc. The biggest annoyance is my H though.
I've noticed that i haven't really had "pain" from it, but i get anxious and annoyed by my ears fluttering like when you yawn? from just about any noise and even my own voice. Everyday sounds are louder than normal and i try to limit the amount of exposure to loud noises like my 4 month old daughter and driving for too long.
I guess I just need time to adapt and have it get better? I just dont want it to get worse and want to know your experience with it. My H came on gradually and it seems to be pretty bad right now, but still no pain yet (Thank god) as long as i rest my ears (no earplugs btw) in a quieter environment, i seem to be ok.
I got all of this from traumatic stress and anxiety and dont think it was from a loud noise. Im currently in therapy with a psychologist, psychiatrist who prescribed Lexapro and Trazadone for anxiety and sleep.
She seems to think that because of my extreme stress, anxiety, and sleep deprivation from the emotional trauma i went through and obsessing with T that it got worse and I noticed H coming on gradually during this period. Ive had this for a little over 2 months. Any advice, help, or positive comments are welcomed. I dont know why I am asking you all this, you just seemed like the right guy. :)
Hey Mike D....hang in there. Yes stress, anxiety and all that will make your tinnitus and H -100x worse than it really is. Get your stress and anxiety under control and your T and H will be better.
