    I May Be Counting My Chickens — Hopeful Progress in My Tinnitus Journey

    October update (31/10/2025) I don’t think I’ve made any progress this month, as my MML and MAL remain about the same, which is disappointing. The reason, however, is clear. I skipped a lot of days of listening to pink noise, and on the other days I didn’t manage to reach eight hours. This was...

    I May Be Counting My Chickens — Hopeful Progress in My Tinnitus Journey

    Sorry to hear you had such a bad case, but I’m glad it’s now just a low white noise type of sound. I completely understand what you mean about unnatural sounds from speakers. Whenever I listen to music through one, it gives me a headache and makes my tinnitus a bit louder if I listen for too...

    I exaactly know the feelingf and i do the same "mistake" aswell. With time you will notice tho that it is your own mind that makes u feel most of the sensations. I had a 70 DB sound for like 5 seconds i freaked out about and that made my ear full for like an entire week. At the same time ive...

    It helps the feeling of pressure in my head and ears. I don't know why, but after I damaged my hearing 6 months ago while being in a nightclum with earplugs, I've been nauseous all the time. It also helps to that. But this feeling of tirenedness is a nasty side effect. Can't really win.

    Research's Attempt to Objectively Assess Tinnitus

    Warning for People with Noxacusis: For the Love of God, Protect Your Ears!

    A gunshot in 2016 caused me mild hyperacusis and tinnitus in my right ear. In 2021, car airbags caused noise exposure and tinnitus in my left ear. Now both ears have every symptom you can imagine. Everything really, lots of Fortnite and CoD. Fallout and Helldivers are fun too.

    I'm Fine — Tinnitus Is Basically Not a Thing Anymore

    I definitely appreciate what everyone in this thread has said! I tend to habituate pretty quickly to situations like a moderately loud restaurant or social gathering. I’ll feel fine in the moment and for the rest of that day, but the next day a long spike begins. It almost feels like being back...

    Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Tinnitus

    Thank you @lusiol. I posted in another thread about an ultrasound helmet that can have the same effect as DBS. I think using something like that to pinpoint where to permanently stimulate in the future will make a big difference. At the moment, it feels like guessing, but at the same time, it...

    Sudden Hearing Changes, Tinnitus, and Fear of Steroid Treatment After Past Trauma

    I went to the audiologist two days ago. She cleaned my earwax, but it didn’t make any difference. However, I had a steroid shot yesterday. There hasn’t been a big improvement, but I did notice a small one in my hearing. I think my hearing will come back in a couple of months. I just need to...

    15 Months of Tinnitus with No Improvement, Except for Occasional Good Days in a Row

    Hi there, I’m 12 months in.

    15 Months of Tinnitus with No Improvement, Except for Occasional Good Days in a Row

    Anyway, I basically have about 15 bad days a month. The other 15 range from good to decent. For now, that’s the situation, as I haven’t really seen an increase in the number of good or decent days. The fact that I do have good and decent days shows that, on those days, my brain is somehow better...

    Losing Myself — Considering an Exit Because of Unbearable Tinnitus

    Eustachian Tube Balloon Dilation for ETD: Ask Me Anything

    Yeah, an ENT said he could see a pressure issue in my left ear and recommended an allergy test, a nasal spray, and balloon dilation surgery if the first two don’t work. So, is your tinnitus reactive in nature? I don’t have hyperacusis, but my tinnitus gets a lot louder after listening to loud...

    Do You Still Watch TV?

    I can’t watch without loud masking. The low-frequency hum I have is constantly being masked and unmasked by the TV sounds, and it’s impossible to tolerate because it turns the steady hum in silence into a loud, chaotic buzzing noise. Masking doesn’t work perfectly, but with the fan on high, I’m...

    Right-Sided Low-Frequency Tinnitus: Suspected Vascular or Somatic Origin with Vacation-Linked Relief

    Question, as I sit here at night ready to tear my hair out. Can you watch TV? I find it impossible unless I have significant masking noise. Otherwise, it’s constantly off, on, off, buzz, and so on, depending on who is speaking on TV or during breaks between scenes. It’s just impossible to focus.

    Yes. It's the feeling that is worst. I don't give a f*** about the whining anymore. But the feeling of pressure, being nauseous, feeling like someone is burning my ear with a laser from inside my head, that's the deal breaker. This condition is more than just the noise.

    Can Guanfacine Make Tinnitus Worse?
