    Woke up and it’s quiet. I slept without a fan or masker for the first time since this started. My T must be really reactive to the fan.

    Well a positive if there is one to pull from this... The distortion or sound when I speak has gone away about 95%.

    Reactive Tinnitus Induced by Headphone Listening Fatigue

    @snizzleberry I barely have since my hell started two years ago, just was always careful of surroundings and sound exposure as much as I could be. With reactive T and very sensitive ear canals, it’s hard to get the benefits of earplugs without also dealing with irritation and exacerbation.

    That’s really great to hear, is your reactive T improving? I’m in a right muddle, moved onto carbamazepine and it definitely helped lessen the reactive Morse tones but then created an additional electrical zap which was probably more annoying. Stuck now to know what to do best!

    @4Grace The volume of my T never really was the problem. It's the reactive T and diplacusis that are making things difficult. But I think i'm still in the mild category and now that I got my anxiety under control (most of the time) it is getting better.

    @MiaVIL I was struggling a lot from 2003-2007. Then I found a way to live with my T. Today it is hard for me to understand why I struggled so much because back then my T was not reactive. How hard could that be? But I guess it is all relative

    Yeah, my reactive tones are humming! from the the AC. I used fan noise to sleep for years before T. It was a tough road having to give that up and just listen to my head noise. It's much better now. Can sleep without benadryl or hydroxyzine and my head is LOUD.

    @snizzleberry I have good news for you. If you can only hear it with ear plugged, and dead silence around you (aka sleeping), you will habituate very soon. I can hear it over most soundscapes, if I want - but most of the time it doesn't bother. Tinnitus that is (not talking about reactive t and h).

    Hey, I’m 3 months into T that has developed into reactive/spiking from conversations-level volume in the past 2-3 weeks. How did you go about with your exposure therapy in the beginning? If I even put on white noise on my phone with the volume 1 button press above mute is enough to spike me.

    Artificial audio seems okish now. Speaker quality seems to make a difference. If the speakers are bad, distance can make it ok: I can watch TV for some hours depending on the volume. Music sounds ok again. Sometimes reactive T kicks in tho.
