    No Hearing Loss and No Damaged Hair Cells

    My hearing test also came back as normal, but i guess that was the standard hearing test. Maybe i should get a extended hearing test done, just for "fun" ;)

    Hang in there Erlend! this could just be a cold, jaw tension thingy or maybe you're over thinking. should be fine - 5mins shouldn't do any damage to your ears. :)

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    Rivotril has a long half-life, which makes it last for 2 days or so, this is from my experience and others as i've read online.

    Can tinnitus improve if there's (very little) hearing loss?

    It might go away after a while, you never know - but sounds to me like you're doing good :) just protect your ears and try not to think about it, and since you've only had it for 1 month and it's better already - that's a good sign :)

    The Brain: "Ringing in the Ears" Actually Goes Much Deeper Than That

    I found this pretty interesting, it's weird how our ears/brain can make such sound. I sometimes listen to my T and think how weird it is and why is it there. :)

    The Brain: "Ringing in the Ears" Actually Goes Much Deeper Than That

    i found this on a site: "http://discovermagazine.com/2010/oct/26-ringing-in-the-ears-goes-much-deeper" Normally, we hear sounds only when they make our eardrums vibrate. The vibrations cause nerve hairs in the inner ear to shiver, and that triggers electric signals that travel along the...

    New Long-Time Sufferer Here, Don't Know How Much More I Can Take

    Hang in there, maybe get some medication to help you take the edge off, there is hope you just have to wait. one day you'll look back and think, i'm glad i didn't do it. there is so much to enjoy in life, don't let your T ruin it. :)

    I'm new!

    Welcome! :) My T was not easy to deal with in the beginning, but after a few months it got much softer and i don't really care about it anymore. It's still there and i do regret ever going to the concert without any ear protection, but i try not to think about it as i can't do anything about it...

    What Hobbies Do You Have? (and Does Tinnitus Interfere?)

    I make music using my pc, so yeah my T does interfere as i can no longer have a high volume when mixing my tracks which makes it harder to hear if its good or not. I've made music for 2 years now, but after getting T i've only made a few tracks :(

    Hello I Am New to This Site and Need Some Help Please

    I feelt like this was so good that i had to do it @seal :D i know it's hard to live with T at least in the first few months, in time your T might fade away - stay strong and don't let a sound get in your way of living life the way you want :)

    Has Anyone Been Cured Ever?

    Hehe i like how you think! but i would recommend that you use earplugs if you go to places with loud music as it might make it worse in the long run. you do what you do, and its great that your going out and doing fun stuff. :beeranimation:

    Brief Exposure to House Fire Alarm

    You should be fine Erlend! i've had those go off here as well and i'm doing fine, so you have nothing to worry about just relax and let your ears rest a bit, try not to think about it :) You could try to get some anxiety pills for times like these, not sure how your doctor are with prescribing...

    Has Anyone Been Cured Ever?

    I can't really remember total silence either, but i don't let my T bother me and its pretty low in volume so it's not that hard to do for me anyways. If you're trying to sleep imagine your T sound is coming from a fridge it might help. :) Playing loud music would not be the best thing to do...

    Our brain and tinnitus

    This is pretty interesting, any ideas? "As the brain becomes accustomed to having the noise around, the noise is accepted as part of the daily experience of life. Tinnitus is often perceived as a threat to survival and the amygdala demands that it be found when the conscious mind notices it is...

    Has Anyone Been Cured Ever?

    I think that depends on how much damage is done, but there are people that have been cured/healed from T. Our body and mind can do wonders if given time, i guess you can only hope. I've never heard of anyone that have developed T through doing weed, so i wouldn't worry about that. some might...

    Depression

    I haven't used any medications after i got T, my doctor didn't even want to give me any sleep aid. what i do is focus on relaxing and keeping my mind off my T. Also i would think it would be easier to deal with it if you don't have to deal with depression or anxiety on top of it - which is know...

    Sleeping

    That depends as loud to me might not be loud to another, but i'd say yes. I could hear it even while taking the bus, now i don't really hear it most of the time or it doesn't really bother me. And now days it's mostly only in my left ear it feels like. what's weird is that for 2-3 weeks it...

    Medications Used for Tinnitus
