Hey everyone, Just wondering, since I wasn't able to find any information on this topic: Has anyone of you had an Omicron infection? If yes, did it affect your tinnitus? I would also be interested if you had prior vaccination or infection. I currently have been vaccinated once (causing my...

Hello everyone. I have an upcoming appointment with a specialist for hyperacusis because it would be good to have an actual detailed diagnosis to show other people (like my boss) what my limitations are. There will be various hearing tests. I am already aware that acoustic reflex test and...

Hey everyone, I hope you're (coping) well. I had to ask my boss for an adjustment of my workplace because I work close to a busy street and during summer my office mate requires an open window for airflow because it gets quite hot in the room (I tolerate the heat better). My boss wasn't...

Hello everyone. I hope you guys are doing well. Lately my hyperacusis seems slightly worse. I do have occasional temporary setbacks (as in burning pain for some hours or days) after loud noises but my neck and jaw aren't doing too great either (I'm a stomach/side sleeper). I'm trying to find...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some guidance. After my last setback half a year ago, I started experiencing pain when exposed to loud and/or high frequency noise. The burning pain lasts usually a couple days, in severe cases a week (doesn't happen often). The worst I've been exposed to was an...

Hello everyone, I need to vent a bit and I am looking also for some advice. In my country a certain group of foreigners often likes to drive obnoxiously loud cars with loud exhaust, loud enough that it might induce actual hearing loss if you stand to close to them when they accelerate. Every...

Hello everyone, I was lying in my bed yesterday and was asking myself what prevented me from finding some new motivation for doing something with my life. So it dawned upon me that I still hadn't found an answer what to do with that idiot of a bus driver who gave me my last setback. I knew...

Hello everyone, Sorry for posting again, but this one has me worried. It seems that after my last hearing insult two weeks ago I can't hear below 150 Hz anymore. Can sound really damage hearing in this low range? My hearing is fine, although I did lose some more in the very high...

Hello everyone, I've become a bit fatalistic after my last spike (time will tell if permanent again or temporary) so I've resigned myself to one day having severe tinnitus. Will probably happen sooner than later given my luck. So I have a question that is probably meaningful to many in here. I...

Hello everyone, Yesterday I had my best tinnitus day in the last 4 months. It was really low. Unfortunately my fate decided to confront me with an idiot bus driver who made an announcement in the bus through the speaker system, which was incredibly loud, certainly around 100dB. I immediately...

Hello everyone I'm trying to get an estimation how common excessive dreaming is in people with tinnitus. In my case, excessive dreaming means that every night I have vivid dreams, usually about 2-3 of them. They are a weird mumbo-jumbo of topics, unpleasant mainly because they feel intrusive...

Hello everyone, It's been about two weeks since my spike, gladfully it is going down. However, I seem to get ear pain (warm feeling) in my ears when I sit at my computer. It is a bit painful over time. I believe it is caused by the computer fan, since it also causes my tinnitus to slightly...

Hey guys Two days ago and I was feeling almost normal (see my success story), as if I could wait easily for years for a cure, so used I had become to my tinnitus and VS. I went to carnival on Saturday evening. This is a small village carnival in the open, so noise was fairly moderate and...

Hey guys I guess it's time for me to write this because I got so used to my situation that I'm getting too lazy to write a success story. To make things short: - 10 months ago, I got tinnitus due to a loud concert (trumpet, metal on metal percussion). I didn't really have a history of noise...

Hey guys Having a tough time... After I got used to my mild visual snow somewhat, I'm down in the dumps again. It recently worsened and is now more noticeable. On top my trailing is now clearly noticeable when before I had to check for it and depth perception is weird (like I have to...

I think I made one of these realisations today I've needed for the past 20 years. I was wondering why I was doing so badly, when others have it so much worse. I am narcissistic. I want to be special. It probably stems from the fact that my brother demanded much more attention since early...

Hey everyone, I've had slightly flickering/shimmering vision for a while now (noticeable especially when looking against a wall or the sky). I have quite the eye strain, not so good sleep and high anxiety currently, which are probably causing it. Also can't focus my eyes... Doesn't seem...

Sorry to bother everyone. I know there's a lot of people here who have it a lot worse than me, but still, I'm going through a difficult moment currently. I'm now 2.5 months in and like many start to live with the thought of having it for a long time. My thoughts are: 1-2 years until it goes...

Hello everyone I phoned a friend today when I was feeling a bit down. Not because of my tinnitus, more because I felt lonely... Thought I'd share the success stories he told me. I talked with him having acquired noise induced tinnitus a week ago (yes sure, chances are good that it will just...

Hello everyone, my name is Sevv. I never really had any many problems with tinnitus before (though experienced it before). Last Friday I went to a concert in a bar (around 20 to 20 meters wide) with Cuban music. I basically never go to concerts so I wasn't really thinking that Cuban music could...
