    Beep in Ear When Whistling or Hearing Certain Sounds

    Within the last hour or so I randomly found that whenever I whistle or hear some high pitched sounds, I hear a ringy beep in my right ear. I've completely habituated to my normal T and this new experience hasn't freaked me out, but I would like to get some clarity on what it is and what may be...

    It's There But Who Cares?

    Certainly not me that's for sure. Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted on the site - I've mostly been loitering occasionally, keeping track of treatment research but I'm here now to give you all an update nearly a year and a half after my T began. Just a word of warning...LONG...

    Has There Been a Day Where You Didn't Think About Tinnitus Since You Developed It?

    This isn't intended to be a negative post, just curiosity. Does anyone have days where they do NOT think about Tinnitus even once? Since developing it almost a year ago, I can safely say that, although I do not really care about my T anymore, there hasn't been one day where I haven't thought...

    Mother of all Nightmares :D

    So I woke up today after possibly the worst nightmare I've ever had (at least regarding tinnitus). In my dream my ears were absolutely roaring, the loudest they've ever been. It was the middle of the night and as you can imagine it was preventing me from sleeping, so I got up and went to the...

    Self-Shouting Causing Spike

    Possibly a stupid question but does anyone hear find that you cause a spike in your tinnitus if you yourself shout loudly? Cheers

    Temporary Tinnitus Despite Wearing Earplugs

    I went to a club the other night and naturally opted to wear my earplugs. I had a great night and we were there for probably 3.5-4 hours. Got home and I had very loud tinnitus which went away the next morning leaving only my usual sounds left (which was obviously a relief). But why did I have...

    Mouth Ulcers and Tinnitus

    Hi Dr Nagler I have suffered and continue to suffer from recurrent mouth ulcers since childhood. I know that mouth ulcers occur during periods of stress and (particularly in my case) when you get run down and have a weird sleep schedule. My question is does the ACTUAL PAIN caused by these...

    MY Problem

    7 months with T, I'm at the point where the noises in my ears/head don't scare me or make me despair. They simply annoy me but I know there's not much I can do so I'm just about doing okay :) THE PROBLEM IS THAT I SIMPLY CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT TINNITUS IN GENERAL!!! Even when I have a...

    Fleeting Moments of Silence

    Over the last 6.5 months, there have been a few times (perhaps 4 or 5) where for a couple of glorious minutes it's as if my T has completely gone. I was lying in bed, the other night when I suddenly realised that I was having one of those moments, it was complete silence! There was no masking...

    Hyperacusis — How Does It Arise?

    Firstly, my heart goes out to anyone with this horrible condition and if you're unlucky enough to have tinnitus as well then you're a real trooper! Basically, I haven't got it but I've read posts from some people saying that they developed it some time after their tinnitus appeared, sometimes a...

    The Ups and Downs of Tinnitus. Am I Dealing With It Okay?

    Hi everyone - I feel like this is going to be a long first post, so if you take the time to read my story then I greatly appreciate it. So I've been loitering in the background of this site off and on for the last 6 months or so ever since I started this life changing experience (for the worst...
