    Tinnitus from a Young Age — Where I Am Now...

    Long story short, I developed tinnitus & hyperacusis in 2016 when I was 13. Whether people think I was overreacting or not, I could not cope at all. I developed bad insomnia and anxiety, never really got depression but my life certainly took a turn for the worse. I asked to be switched from...

    I Can Feel/Hear My Heartbeat in My Ears at Night When Lying on My Side (NOT Pulsatile Tinnitus)

    When I'm lying on my side (on my ear) I can kind of feel my heartbeat thumping in my ear, I've looked this up and all I see is "you have pulsatile tinnitus" but this really isn't the case. My actual tinnitus is a constant hiss with some other sounds in the background. Anybody else have this...

    Anybody Else Hear Higher Pitch Frequencies That Other People Don't?

    So today I was at a family get together with my cousins and what not. We decided to turn on an old NES (a very old Nintendo gaming console). I could hear a really high pitched sound, I instantly covered my ears to make sure it wasn't my tinnitus and it wasn't. Nobody else seemed to hear this...

    Hypothyroidism? Can't Believe It Took Me This Long to Figure It Out

    I just want to post this, maybe it'll help someone in the future. 2 years ago, around the similar time my tinnitus had started, I was getting a checkup and the doctor had suggested I might have hypothyroidism, where my body doesn't produce enough thyroid. He recommended getting a blood test...

    My Ear Was Popping and Now I Have Hearing Loss (Please Help)

    My ears have been popping for the last 3 days but tonight my left ear got more full than usual and wouldn't pop for an hour (i could barely hear out of it). I was getting small pops but they where just making it worse. I panicked and did the valsalva manuever but that seemed to worsen things...

    Valsalva Manoeuver IS DANGEROUS

    Just want people to know this if they're going through similar problems.. I've seemed to have ETD for a year now and my ears used to get full all the time and I would pop them by either doing the valsalva (pinch the nose and blow) or by moving my jaw (opening and closing in a certain way). 2...

    So I tried this organic coffee made with Reishi mushrooms, it's supposed to help you feel better or something and it worked, I felt energized and relaxed. My tinnitus even seems more calm at the moment.

    Tinnitus for a Year

    Well, I guess this is just an update. I've had tinnitus for a year and I've been fine, but I'm not going to lie, it's been getting louder and louder which worries me, most things that cause the permanent spikes are when I get sick or sometimes it just spikes for no apparent reason

    Valsalva Manoeuvre Made Ear Feel Weird

    So my ears were getting full and moving my jaw etc wasn't working so I forced a Valsalva Manoeuvre and my left ear popped but then felt way different. It feels like empty and when I talk it's really weird, it's gotten a bit better for a few seconds but then goes back to how it is... What do...

    I HAVE to Go to Disneyland, What Do I Do!

    For Christmas my parents surprised us with Disneyland and I can't decline because that would be horrible, what do I do?! I heard it's so loud and I have ETD. Will the pressure change on big rides effect that? What do I do!? I'm so scared! Edit: and what about the occlusion effect? What if I...

    Ringing Transformed into Hissing

    My tinnitus has fully transformed into hissing/air leaking sound... And it keeps getting louder, I used to not even hear it at night, now I sometimes notice it over the TV. I apparently have ETD, and sometimes when I grind my teeth, my tinnitus spikes, so maybe TMJ and ETD, I don't know, but I...

    Grinding Teeth Spikes Tinnitus?!

    I'm almost so sure my T is from ETD, or at least I know I have ETD because I pop my ears a lot by moving my jaw and I also do the Valsalva a lot and it works.. Although, the past few days when I get and bed and sleep on one of my sides my T spikes in a high pitched ring... And just now I was...

    Popping Ears Used to Help Hearing But Now It Doesn't?

    So I've supposedly had ETD for 6 months now and when I had pressure in fullness my hearing was muffled, but when i popped my ears it got way better. But now when I pop my hearing barely gets any better, even though I'm popping them so much, they just feel constantly muffled. Is there any...

    Loud Fleeting Spike When Moving

    WHAT IS THIS! Every time I move my head fast to the right my left ear gets a 5x loud that goes away as I stop moving! Some movements give me a loud fleeting spike, such as sitting up, sitting down, moving my head fast. I don't know what this is but it's just in my left ear, my left ear also...

    I recently got over a sinus infection (or still might have a little of it) but I decided to take a nice warm bath and when I got out I had super high pitched ring, so high you can barely hear anything else but it... I've had it for like 10 minutes and it's so loud it's driving me insane...

    So Sick of My Un-Sympathetic Family...

    Nobody in my family cares, except for my mom (a little) but they literally show no sympathy and aren't willing to do small and little things to help me such as turn down the TV... Everytime I ask them to turn the volume down, or say "I don't want to go there because it's loud" they just be...

    What if the Next President Funded Tinnitus Research?

    Quick thought... If the president that you are not voting for right now said they would fund tinnitus research, would you vote fore them? (Example: you like Trump but Hillary says she will fund tinnitus research. Would you vote for her just because of that?)

    The Do's and Don'ts of Tinnitus?

    I'm sick of my tinnitus getting worse because of me doing things to make it worse that I shouldn't have, such as taking a bad medication that worsens it... I really would just like to have a detailed list of what to to do, and what not to do.. More importantly what NOT to do, but yeah :/

    Ears Feel Weird (Numb, Full and a Bit Warm...) — Why?!

    When I first was exposed to the loud sound that caused my tinnitus, my ear felt numb, and full, and a bit warm... I haven't had any trauma to my ear recently and it has that same feeling I had when I first got this! Why!

    I'm a Bit More Worried Than I Usually Am :(

    I've been looking around here and there seems to be a lot of people who have had T for 4+ years, and they all describe it as getting worse and worse! I'm really worried because I'm only 13 and I really don't want this to get worse and have to live with it longer... Right now my T is mild and...

    Hyperacusis Question — If 50 dB Sounds Like 80 dB, Is It Still Damaging?

    So.. I've seemed to have obtained H since my tinnitus and I've been wearing earplugs through 8th grade because it's so loud... But my question is, Let's say there is a 50db sound (not so damaging or loud) But with H it sounds like 80db (A bit damaging?) That's just an example^ may not be...
