    Poll: Can You Feel Your Tinnitus?

    I bring this up every now and then, to see if there are others who suffer from tinnitus and can feel the buzzing. I can feel the buzzing in my left ear. It initially started out as a chirping sound, randomly. I have no idea what causes the timing and when it would chirp but I have counted...

    Chirping, Zapping Tinnitus

    Since I developed tinnitus back in 2016 I noticed a chirping / zapping sound that I can actually feel. Like a small burst of energy going off in my inner ear. I think I know what's causing mine. I am slowly developing HFS (hemifacial spasms) the left side of my face is where my spasms occur and...

    Any Truckers with Tinnitus Out There?

    How many truckers (CDL) out there have tinnitus? I'm also curious if you wear hearing protection even though it's considered "against the law". I know some states allow you to wear 1 earplug in 1 ear. I have seen (very few) admit to wearing hearing protection (on other forums) the whole time...

    Tinnitus with a Sensation?

    Does anyone feel their tinnitus? I have two kinds that I feel a sensation with. 1: One of them is this zapping sound like something being electrically shocked and I feel this shock-wave for a fraction of a second when this happens. Not sure what causes it and it doesn't happen often. 2: The...

    Tinnitus and Where It Originates

    I was reading around and found some other sites/forums and it seems to be the consensus that Tinnitus always originates from the brain. Has this been scientifically proven and does it have supporting evidence? If someone goes to a concert and ends up suffering from T for like, a month or 2 and...

    Used Headphones to Watch a Show...

    I used my headphones to watch a comedy show (so I didn't bother someone trying to sleep), the volume was low and I felt my ears were not bothered. Some time after now, my T has spiked. Almost as bad as when I first got it. I will no longer wear headphone again. I was very much habituating, the T...

    Historical Sufferers of Tinnitus

    I was thinking about how people would deal with their T back in several hundred years ago. I was watching the "Revenant" and those guys were firing flintlock/muzzleloaders and those things explode right next to their ears. The troops during the Revolutionary War and Civil War, the old cowboys...

    Tinnitus Changed My Life

    I developed my T through years of concerts, gaming headphones and guns. I did wear ear plugs at the firing range but I believe they were inadequate. I used to work as a Wilderness Ranger and earlier this year I developed Tinnitus and it just about floored me. Being a Wilderness Ranger, I had to...

    Camping with Tinnitus?

    How many of you T sufferers still go camping? It used to be part of my job (my way of life) but sleeping at night was almost impossible, because the only thing I could hear was my T. I'm sure my diet played a roll, a lot of salt and sodium in those backcountry diets. My heart will always be in...
