    Somatic Tinnitus: Is It BAD to Move Into the Body Position That Causes an Increase in Tinnitus?

    Hi all, I've had manageable tinnitus with no hearing loss for about 4.5 years now. I'm able to suppress it almost always with aerobic exercise, with notched sound if I need a little more, and with low dose melatonin if I really need it. I hardly ever do the melatonin because the exercise has...

    Warning About Snoring Parters

    I wish I had known this earlier in my tinnitus journey so thought I would call it out plainly with a new forum post. I guess for many this is so obvious it goes without saying, but maybe there are some who will have an a-ha moment too. Sleeping next to a partner who snores loudly will trigger...

    4 1/2 Months, and Often I Forget All About It.

    My T started after persistent noise problems at work, and I was pretty frantic for a while even though it was not so loud that it prevented me from sleeping. (It's high-pitched ringing, about 6750 now though I think it was much higher in the beginning.) I'm chronically under-slept, though, so...

    One Month In, and Here I Am

    Hello folks, One month ago, a piercing, loud and steady high-pitched sound occurred for about 90 minutes in our offices (like a sonic drill but no on/off pattern). Two days later, a new but not too-loud high-pitched tone appeared. Three days later, I woke up from a dead sleep with that...
