Today i was outside in the "factory" where i work and i needed to get past someone that was using an angle grinder. Was like 1 metre away from him when he started to cut thru a big pipe. Very uncomfortable but had mine SNR 35 DB moldex earplugs so i think i will be safe.

Had a meeting today at my work. I use jabra speaker for teamcalls. I thought it was very "annoying to my ears" and double checked the volume after like 5 minutes into the meeting and it was on 60% (i always got it on 20% on volume). Probably my coworkers borrowed it and increased the sounds and...

i wouldnt say that sounds makes me "PANIC" the way they used to. I still spike ALOT tho and some seems to be permanent. I mostly get angry or irritated when people yell, clap their hands etc close to me that creates a spike and im like "oh crap not another spike". Its good to not get super...

Ive been stretching my neck and jaw alot trying to release my tension i got everywhere. Also been taking walks. My tinnitus has got from 5/10 to 7/10 with doing these things. I dont understand why. Shouldnt it get lower? I wonder if i should keep going and if im onto something here or if i...

After been a stressball the entire week i went for a walk unprotected, i live in a very quiet area. there was a garden with a dog so i was force to take a "offroute", went in the forest and saw freshly cut trees along the path. When i was walking suddenly i hear a chainsaw start behind a bush...

What is it with these people that have this weird urgue to shout or scream out of nowhere. We are on a meeting... Someone comes in and the person right next to me (about 50 cm away) litterally yell out "HEY DANIEL" VERY loudly. It was like getting a fistpunch of noice right into my right ear and...

Search for “somatic tinnitus” and read a lot about the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle. Try gently stretching your neck in a quiet room and see if you can change the tinnitus. If you can, and if it was not a constant tinnitus at first, I would say with almost one hundred percent certainty it is...

WOW! Thanks for sharing. Did you also experience tinnitus spikes after certain sounds when you were afraid of them? I would love to see a second part where you talk a little more about your tinnitus and how it reacted. I can really relate to much of your progress. I also deal with a tense jaw...

Really hate that alot of my coworkers got their "hands full" and put calls on speaker phone on max volume next to where i sit and talk. I always cringe for 30-60 seconds then i have to put my earplugs in but still they keep doing it everytime and saying "im so sensitive". It litterally hurt my...

Still spike from below incident. Cant really understand why it spiked so huge. wore earplugs and everything so makes no sense....

Somehow i did get a HUGE spike from that kids birthday even tho i wore earplugs thru the entire 3 hours... stil very tired and felling abit "off" in the neck so hope that is the reason. the spike is only in one ear. Suchs a boomer....

Everytime i feel more "normal" i go to a kids birthday and realize im still VERY senstitive to noise. Im sitting thru kids crying, screaming, laughing and 2 ballons pooped like 4-5 metres away. Its like sitting on the normandy beach during WW2 and parents just sit there and smiling at the kids...

Was on a "real resturant" for the first time in my life after i got worse tinnitus..... Lord what a nightmare, like 90 people talking simutainlously and those sitting next to us shouting and being very noisy. Hard to hear what people around me were saying so would say it was 80-90 DB. Luckily i...

Having a weird spike for a couple of days now. Been exposed to one scream pretty close to me, one door getting shut HARD by the wind because a window was open and hammering in a couple of nails fixing my roof (of course with dualprotection). Think it will be subsiding i a couple of weeks but a...

Starting to forget my tinnitus a little bit more again. Still think it spiked thru the wardrobe incident but somehow i dont "care as much" when the anxiety is low. I actually manage to work up the courage to prebook a trip to an all you can eat shrimp buffe in the next week!

Anxiety gone now after the wardrobe incident. I still have a spike tho. the only good thing about this is that i actually realized that i suffer from phonofobia (always thought so but now i know for sure)

Anxiety seems to mostly have subsided now which is great. Now im more "annoyed" then scared of the spike. Tinnitus still loud tho, hope it will subside

Still in the wardrobe spike. Anxiety kind off comes in "wawes" its like im feeling okey then suddenly i get heatstroke and getting butterflies in my stomatch etc. I hope the spike will subside when the anxiety symptoms end. Its not fun when u cant mask it and u have 2 more sounds in your head...

Still in the spike, anxietywise i feel alot better with less doom and gloom thinking but the spike is still agressive and loud. If it is bc of the anxiety over the wardrobe accident i wonder how long after the anxiety is gone the spike will actually calm down.

Still in this wardrobe spike, really struggling atm.

Oh man, you’re getting me hyped! 😄

Today we drove past a construction site when i was talking to my mom in the car. I held my fingers in my ear while we drove past the site since they were using jackhammer right next to the car and responded to her question. I was like "wow that was loud talking with the fingers in the ears" i...

I am not as anxious about the incident anymore but im very irritated since its very hard to not hear it and im also for some weird reason im very sleepy. imagine doing something so silly that running into a wardrobe could ruin ur entire week... -.-

Well the spike from last incident is here and very loudly, trying to stay calm but very hard. Funny how life was doing really good for 2 weeks and then a idiot incident running into a wardrobe door sets me back to having panic and high anxiety again. Always feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps...

Havent been in here much since ive been having some really great weeks. Today it was a loud sound. I had 2 wardrobe doors open next to eachother and by accident when going in smacked one of them with my shoulder so they banged against eachother making a very loud sound. Measured to 109-111 DB...

I’ve noticed that opening the wardrobe made a huge difference. Before, there was a lot of echoing and reverb. After opening up four wardrobes, it all disappeared, and I can now talk much longer before my ears start to feel “tired.” I’ll be putting up acoustic paintings and adding an acoustic...

Last weeks have been goin pretty good. Only like 1 "loud sound" incident each week. Focusing on relaxing and just getting my mental state together. Feels good when u got some energy to actually do something :) Feeling positive.
