I think you should visit a psychotherapist in order to fix those negative thoughts about life. Death is part of our lives, but that does not mean our lives are futile. If possible, read the book “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle.

Keep in mind that those people who unfortunately have recently acquired tinnitus also subscribe. They, in the throes of fear, look for some hope after the damned ENTs have not helped them. However, for the most part, and I would also say fortunately, the latter leave the forum as soon as they...

Again, this forum gives the impression that anyone with tinnitus is either damned or not doing well. You can't even imagine how many people out there have tinnitus, even moderate, and they don't care about it. Unfortunately this is a fact that we will never know and, in my opinion, the real...

But you haven't seen those people who have permanently left the forum and/or who actually have had tinnitus for X years without it ever getting worse. The problem is that this forum gives the perception that this is the reality of things, however, unfortunately, here is that small slice of the...

View it this way: in this forum, there are people angry with God, and any religious reference drives them crazy. Just do as Dante said in the Divine Comedy: "Pay no heed to them, but look and pass by." Thank God for what Dr. Shore is doing and ignore the rest!

I declared victory too soon: yesterday it came back to me! At this point I think it's not a problem with headphones and/or noise, but rather with the fact that I ate at a Chinese restaurant and discovered that they used MSG. I hope this spike is also temporary.

Yeah, sorry, I was in a whirlwind of fear wanting to find a sound that could help me without the use of headphones. Luckily, as I wrote in the other post, the spike has subsided, but I will carefully follow your advice!

Luckily the spike subsided to its baseline... I don't know if it's because of the meds I'm on or because it's "normal" but it's gone down; it was terribly scary, but now with a change of diet and movement I will be even better (and once again, no more headphones). Thank you all for your support.

Unfortunately, after my current spike, I have a total fear of any headphone :( thank you.

Hi @Lane, just a question: do I really need to use headphones in order to achieve some relief with this app?

No, I never had any spike since the first onset, this is the first spike I'm currently having, unfortunately. Since I'm too "aware" of my tinnitus, as soon as I discover some change, I immediately realize it... and this is the first time that it is happening in 6 years. By the way, is it normal...

Day 7 here. 1 week has gone by since the increase of my tinnitus. I'd like to know if this could be a spike or a permanent worsening of this condition. Is there any way to figure this out? I read from @Michael Leigh that using earphones even at a low volume level can make tinnitus worse...

Ho @Elinor, thank you for your reply, you gave me hope :) Yes, I forgot to say that the ENT gave me 3 nasal sprays, maybe it’s just for that. Hi @billie48, thank you for your reply. As I said, I’m currently taking Melatonin and yes, I’m using a masking sound, but it’s useless, I’m still...

First thing, I’m not a native English speaker so forgive my errors. So I first develop tinnitus back in 2016, I was in total desperation but after 6-7 months I was fully habituated... Until this Tuesday, where I got my first spike/worsening. The same day I became a total wreck. I really don’t...
