Hello all, As my tinnitus has been relatively stable for the last year or so (though I’ve had ups and downs over the past 10 years), I’m having a hard time coming to terms with my current situation. I recently put in time and training to transition into a new position. During that time, I...

My worst fear has come true, I've been hit with an M-800 firecracker while I was near my open window. The M-800 wrapper was about 20 feet from my window. I had the windows wide open, and I was near it at my desk. Does anyone know how loud these things are once they go off at the source? I've...

Wondering if anyone has had this new tech used with tinnitus? The device claims: "the high-tech irrigation process of the GentleWave System harnesses optimized procedure fluids, vertical flow and broad-spectrum acoustic energies to debride and disinfect the root canal system—even the...

I have an upper right wisdom tooth that broke from decay at end of 2019. I started actually having pain recently, which just so happens to align with the fact my BOTTOM left also broke off, a side/center piece of it. From decay as well. Idiocy on my part for allowing this to happen and not going...

I'm in a bit of a panic, as I'm having some type of ear event on the left side that I thought I've had in the past, but on a minor scale. All of a sudden tonight, my left ear just changed. It felt like a bit of pressure and deafness. Sound does not sound the same in the ear, and it's very...

I've gone through a lot of stuff online, from heat hives to cholinergic urticaria, and I'm assuming I have it or something similar, but I don't know what to do about it. I got it around 19, and still have it 10 years later. I thought with time it would go away, it didn't. Made life miserable...

I guess I should first ask, how the hell is it possible. How is the ingredients of this toothpaste going into my system through the teeth or gums, and then affecting the inner ear? I've read only a handful of anecdotal stuff from people who said their tinnitus got worse on this toothpaste, but...

Outside my struggle with my tinnitus, I'm trying to understand why there is a facilitation of increase tinnitus level when I hear noise, especially when one side is getting the stimulus and it affecting the other side by increasing the tinnitus. For example, parents were watching a video with...

I'm in a bit of a severe mental breakdown from a tinnitus tone that is now stuck that I prayed would never occur again, and it did. This is not my normal tinnitus, and I've battled tinnitus/hyperacusis for years from noise exposure. Essentially, I'm wondering if hyperacusis, or any subset and...

I don't know what to do anymore, I'm tired. I'm close to checking out. I've lost my progress and my tinnitus is extremely high pitch and piercing. Hyperacusis is bad. Tinnitus reacts to noises like A.C running ect., so it climbs to surpass it. I've had tinnitus for just about 10 years. Mild...

I am in a mental meltdown, because I cannot handle what this feeling/sound is in my ear/head. This is not normal tinnitus/hyperacusis as far as I can tell. I've had tinnitus/hyperacusis from noise since 18, I'm 29 now. I've gone up and down through the years as indicating from my post history...

I've been doing much better the last 6 months. My noise induced tinnitus over the years has been brutal with up and downs but I was at peace as of late. Then suddenly, I started noticing my pure high pitch tone in my left ear, louder. I was a bit concerned but I tried to just ignore it. Days...

I've had T since I was 18 (28) now, and with an increase two some years ago, that was permanent and has caused me immense issues of ups and downs, and H, after this recent episode I really do not believe I've gotten any better, if this is in fact H. For the last month my T was doing...decent...

Since January of this year, I've started noticing visual trailing. Specifically, if I look in front of me, and wave my hand semi-slowly back and forward (looking past the hand, not focusing on it) I see what I can only describe is a type of translucent trailing of my hand following my actual...

So I've had tinnitus for many years, least seven or eight years with mild tinnitus but in 2015 and I got hit by another noise exposure which made my tinnitus worse and gave me hyperacusis and worse t. Since then it's been a up-and-down battle but I typically always knew why my T spiked usually...

Or both? I've had tinnitus for many years, but ever since my worsening from a brief noise exposure 2 years ago, I'm getting an issue with my left ear with certain sounds. A very idiotic store manager decided recently to jack up all the self check out scanners. The high pitch beep was so loud...

So I've had tinnitus from 18 to 28 (now). Mild up until 26, when tinnitus got worse from a wood saw exposure briefly, followed by a worsening of hyperacusis. I've struggled off and on for last 2 years never quite getting to a point where I feel improved to forget about T/H. Some days better...

I cannot understand why the hell this is happening. I've had mild T for years, then a worsening of T about 2 years ago from a wood saw that started outside my open window. My T (3 different tones) has fluctuated and I struggled, but one tone always remained somewhat the same. For some reason...

Hello, I'm trying to put myself to ease here, now that an ultrasonic machine for dogs is up. I live in a attached condo so our entry way is attached with a 6ft stone wall in the middle. From upstairs I can see the neighbors entire entry. My family decided after constant noise abuse from the...

Well, I'm pretty upset, more so than any noise trauma because this is something I'm unfamiliar with and now the unknown has me concerned. I have noise induced T and my father decided to buy some massages from a pretty decent place. More high end, private room and consultation type of place. I...

I'm at a loss here, because this type of increase/change has never been this drastic, especially with no "trauma" occurring beforehand. Just a quick info, I'm 27 and had mild T from 18-26(2015 June) due to one musical festival I wen't to which gave me a temporary threshold shift for a few...

I've had T since 18 (27 now) and it got worse last year from a short exposure to a wood saw. Clearly, my ears are damaged badly. No hearing loss detectable so it's probably hidden or above 8k. I've struggled for over a year, had noise make it worse, then got better, than worse a little bit and...

So while dealing with eye strain recently my right ear once again started to deteriorate and ruin any ability to adapt to my T. Early last week I started noticing an occasional high pitch click in my right ear a few times a day, days later I wen't to bed and noticed constant clicking in my...

Before June of 2015, I had mild T for 8 years or so. Was from a electronic musical festival in which I also got a temp. threshold shift there. Last year, I awoke to a wood saw outside my window and was exposed for 10 seconds or so before I slammed my window shut (another loud db exposure I...

Little worried here as we live in a townhome and our entry ways are basically connected with only a wall down the middle. When I look outside my window I see her entire entryway except for up to the door. She has some sort of ultrasonic device for her stupid, yappy dog that I've recorded up to...

I'm not sure what I can do here, because I'm not getting any answers from the medical community in life. I'm in a mindset that my ears are so bad, or so genetically screwed, that I'm going to continue to get worse because it is doing that currently. I had mild T for 7 and half years that didn't...

So before my T got worse from noise trauma of a wood saw (7-8 years of mild T) I never had spikes, just same ole T. Didn't change usually. Since new worse T and bad H for 11 months I've noticed, I suppose these "spikes". My issue is, is this causing trauma to the ear. Clearly it can't be a good...

It really is becoming one thing after another. Because I haven't got new insurance yet I'm sitting in the unknown in figuring things out. My T originates from noise induced primarily at 18. 7-8 years with mild T. 10 months ago, a wood saw 5 feet from my window wen't off when I was sleeping and...

I've had T since I was 18 (26 now) and I'm now starting to contemplate ending my life. It's something I know that's not me, but the thought keeps crossing my mind, this how bad things have gotten. I believe my ears and tolerance to sound are lower than the average person combined with bad...

So long story short my original T of years 8 wen't up from a 10 second...yes, 10 second loud noise exposure of a wood saw outside my room. Supposedly a 110db machine, but I wager since I was 1) Asleep when it hit me and 2) in a condo where front area makes a echo that it probably increased the...

Since I wen't 18-26 with basically same mild T from noise trauma, the fact that I'm starting to get worse and fluctuate after my noise trauma from 8 months ago is concerning me. First few months, July, August and Sept...hell, but I was getting by hoping for improvement. As I got to Dec./early...

Firstly, DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK UNLESS YOU'RE SPEAKERS ARE SET TO THE LOWEST POSSIBLE SOUND. This video is of a dog whistle sound, very high pitch. I was 10 feet away in kitchen and he clicked this video and it killed my ears. Speaker Volume was decently high and it made my ears EXTREMELY...

So I've had mild T since I was 18 (26 now) which got worse 5 months ago in June...badly from a loud noise exposure due to a wood saw outside my window; though I'm not sure (maybe in denial is a better word) as the T didn't increase until 5 days later (which makes no sense to me). Anyways...

I've been hoping for 4 months this increase was a spike or could repair back to baseline and it's not. 18 to 26, T that I could live with, noise induced, and only loud and annoying if I cupped my ear and listed. I've had some loud exposures during that time, one which gave me a reactive T...

I'm really guessing this is my cause for some issues I experience, but not sure. I've had T for over 7 years, mild normally and only loud if I cup my ears, only 3 months ago did it raise from Noise trauma, a wood saw outside my window (though the increase didn't happen until 5 days later, which...

So I've been recovering from increased T 2 and half months ago from what I believe was a wood saw. So I'm pretty sure my ears are already insanely worse off than before and damaged. Now, last night around 8pm, I was leaving the pool area near my home and my fingers slipped and I didn't catch...

Last night around 2:30am a huge firecracker, shot into the sky, wen't off. It was LOUD. I was probably 15 feet from my front door, where windows were open (all condos here use ocean breeze as A.C so we all have windows open) and it startled me. It's dead quiet outside. I estimate the firecracker...

I've had tinnitus (so slight barely noticeable from 13-18, at 19 I really got it hard from a exposure to loud noise at a festival...to point where I had a temporary threshold shift, everything muffled for awhile. Since then, 26 now, I've habituated and barely noticed it until sleeping (which I...

Might be too lengthy to read, but I posted about what occurred here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tinnitus-increase-after-years-%E2%80%94-at-a-loss-and-struggling-any-response-appreciated.10035/#post-121859 And to sum it up, I've had tinnitus since I was a teen, though minor, and got...

Hello and thank you for your help on this community. I'm hoping you have some insight on T spiking. Since my T has increased from unknown reasons (high freq. that cuts through everything these days) I notice if I'm in a busy store or out and about, and while lots of noises are occurring ect...

I'm just hoping somewhat that some second opinions and maybe some thoughts will help me cope, because I'm in bad shape. Little quick backstory, I have tinnitus via noise induced. Slight T around 13 from loud music Sat. night clubs for young teens, nothing bad. Also have TMJ from being hit in...

I have tinnitus from noise exposure and recently an ENT stated after examining my nose that the lining of my nose in the back was red/blue and mentioned I had allergic rhinitis. I occasionally get full ears and do sneeze occasionally and notice my nose full in the mornings sometimes, so I tend...

I've had T for a very long time (noise induced, but no tested hearing loss), now in my mid 20's and somehow my T has got worse (either from waking up to a wood saw being used outside my widow, a motorcycle that passed days later or the Omeprazole medication I stopped taking after a month; all...
