    Tinnitus, DUBS Earplugs, and Sport Games

    I have had tinnitus for about 2-3 years in my right ear. I have normalized to it and the tinnitus doesn't bother me at all. However, my passion for sports doesn't want to go away. I was scared at first, but with a purchase of some DUB ear plugs, I decided to go to my local soccer games. The...

    Embarrassing but... Can talking to oneself cause tinnitus?

    I talk to myself sometimes. Its because I am bored and stay home a lot. Does the constant talking have any effect on hearing loss or tinnitus?

    Terrible Setback? :(

    Its been 5-6 months now. I am used to my tinnitus, but on 1/25 something terrible happened. In my dream I yelled "EEEEEE" for some reason and in turn this is what I did to wake up. I was lying on my tinnitus ear and the yell caused my tinnitus to go crazy. I'm worried that it has now changed...

    Hearing Aids Make My Tinnitus Worse

    I got my hearing aid today. When I first put it on the tinnitus was barely noticeable. But when I walked around, raised my eyebrows, or opens my mouth, the tinnitus fluctuated.

    Sports, Tinnitus, and Noise Resistant Headphones

    I love going to sporting events. I have been to many hockey and soccer games. With the arrival of my tinnitus came a huge worry. I don't want to risk anymore hearing loss. I tried to wear ear plugs to a soccer game. the foam earplugs didn't help out at all. I was wondering if I can buy noise...

    1 second of silence

    It's been 1.5 months My constant ringing in the right ear has been going on and on. One day I as driving to school on the highway. The tinnitus was abit low. For a split second the T went away but then came back to medium. What could this mean?

    Does my other ear get better in terms of hearing?

    I have tinnitus in my right ear due to hearing loss. Is it possible for my hearing in the left ear to improve, since the right ear is so weak?

    I Don't Want to Risk It

    when I talk to people about my tinnitus, they tell me that "Hey just live life. forget about it! go out there and have fun!" However, after two hearing tests it is quiet obvious that there is some hearing loss in my right ear. The T is only 1.5 months old. Today I'm going to a soccer game (5k...

    Tests and anxiety

    I couldn't sleep at all this past night :( now as I sit here in front of the Math class doors.. The tinnitus is coming frm my left ear. I hate to think that exams and tests or any kind of nervous/stressful situation or event in the future will make this T worse.

    Tinnitus in both ears?

    When my T first appeared I only heard it in my right ear. the pressure/stiffness in my jaw appears on both sides now when I sleep or randomly throughout the day. For some reason I think the T is suddenly coming from my left ear too even though there is no hearing loss there. The noise also...
