Yep, I have a tone in my left and right ears with it being way more pronounced in my left. The right has a more pronounced fuzz/hiss that sort of...

I get a weird bass like hum/vibration sound in my left ear when I get a bad cold. It sounds like someone in a car playing music with the bass...

I can't sleep without my custom mouth guard anymore. I used to grind my teeth so bad I had to get a root canal.

Foam plugs are actually great for protection (assuming you get them in deep enough), and typically have NRR ratings of 30+. But, you can still...

I hope you take can find some relief in that we all have some sort of suffering too. Not that your is nothing, I certainly don't mean that,...

You may shock yourself and find that you have it all the time, just to a lesser degree most of the time. I noticed mine in bed in a quiet room...

The wind in the ear is a type of pulsatile tinnitus, although it isn't always pulsing with your heartbeat. I have that in my left ear and can stop...

One of the benefits of getting older is that invites to disco clubs go way down. Seriously though, if you decide to go wear ear plugs. I suggest...

I work in an office all alone but it doesn't bother me that much. I can always "tune in" to it if I want but I don't do that. I've said it before,...

Same with, "Ring Relief" people. Saw it at Wal-Mart today. That stuff should not be on the shelves anywhere.

My right ear sounds like a squealing fluorescent light with some baseline static thrown in. It's not LOUD but it's there and noticeable at all...

Good for you man, life is short and brutal, can't change that so might as well go out there and chase down a dream or two. I'll be rooting for you.

Sounds like fun, one or two beers or glasses of wine, but I was just never able to see the point of moderation when it came to alcohol so I pretty...

T is strange and I think most (if not all) sufferers would say that their T fluctuates and changes due to certain stimuli. If I come from outside...

No guarantees that's for sure but IMO good strong plugs (custom or foam inserted properly and deep) AND muffs with an NRR of at least 30 will...

You and me both. You have it to I take it? Does yours seem to get worse when around a white noise/air conditioner type noise? Mine does.

Not if they can regrow hair cells, which is one of the main areas of research right now. Did you know that Chickens have hearing that heals...

White noise and the like irritate and "stir up" my hiss. I prefer quiet.

BTW, is 15 NRR the same as the 25-ER? I think I got the highest rated concert plugs but there are no markings except for 15 NRR, (nothing saying ER).

You raise a great question. Is it enough? I think so but the real answer is, it's all I can do. I've got an ongoing battle with myself regarding...

I had mentioned elsewhere that I was getting some custom plugs so I thought I'd give my verdict. I got the Westone Concert musician custom plugs...

Hmmmmm, that actually does seem like pretty big news. They expect clinical trials in late 2017 with this regeneration of inner ear hair cells? I'm...

LOL, that's funny, but it's actually really good advice. People these days tend to need more hand holding but, as it stands, the bottom line is...

I used to take benadryl pills but now take 400mg of Magnesium Citrate.

Hey, seeing as you work in a library I assume you enjoy reading books. Do you still enjoy reading or do you find the quiet atmosphere is too...

You know what? This site can also provide some emotional support. I don't think it's good to read negative posts but sometimes it's good just to...

The truth is that most people do not insert foam plugs far enough into the ear canal for it to truly protect your hearing to the extent that it is...

Oh yeah I remember thinking all of the electrical things I worked around were so loud. Little did I know that hiss sound was in my head.

Is your T a hiss, tone, combo or something else? External sounds tend to make my hiss in my right ear worse but I don't hear the steady tones...

A lot of people have no measurable hearing loss but still have T (myself included). All tinnitus refers to is sounds in your head. So by...

Maybe invest in some custom plugs. They are usually under $200 and a worthwhile investment for people like us.

Sometimes more than other times. It is a matter of focus but if I'm near an air conditioner/fan sound it is noticeably worse and harder to ignore....

Yea i used to mistake the hiss for the sound of lamps, light fixtures, and electronics. Nope. That would be my head. My ringing is not noticeable...

Kinda sorta, just a low bass rumble. It was worse when I had a cold but it's there. Honestly I don't mind it that much. The hiss sucks the worst.

Why don't you contribute to the discussion yourself ?

I have an intermittent hissing and steady tone in my right ear and a steady tone and low rumble in my left ear. If I could be rid of one of the...

I have the rumble, it's pretty steady and low so I just blow it off these days but during my cold it got real bad. Generally though, I can hear it...

Good luck but there's no way I'd go back to loud music if I were you. Still, we all choose our own path in life and I wish you well on yours. At...

I saw this in one of Larry's old posts: "My anxiety is overwhelming. Every day. I can't control it without the meds. It's not even from the T...

Ashamed? So I guess people who smoked should just shut up and be embarrassed that they have lung cancer? Give me a break. We are all human and we...

My weird right ear hiss is intermittent and can sound like a morse code hiss which sucks but it is fairly low. Most times I just hear the odd hiss...

I grinded my teeth so bad that I had to get a root canal. I've since gotten a custom mouthguard from my dentist and it has been a lifesaver, I...

Get some ear plugs and carry them on your keychain.

Oh I'm sure of that. Probably part of a thesis! Hey future people, is it a one time treatment or life long pill taking etc? Thanks in advance.

Can you link me to the people saying their T has reduced due to the meds I haven't seen any. Thanks.

Yea, I got my molds done today. I got the Etymotic musician plugs, 25db. I should have the finished product in about 10 business days or so. I...

Erik, you are hardcore. I like your style and that you fearlessly describe your T and then follow it with a "You just gotta do what you gotta do....

I just got back from the shooting range. I shot some 9mm through a Glock 19 & 43. I wore muffs and plugs and did not notice any T issues....

Wow, I'm not sure I've seen such stupid people before. Just watching that video can give you tinnitus! Really, whenever I think the American...

Yep, I've had several throughout my life. One time I felt a demon laying on me while I was sleeping. It whispered in my ear, "I'm going to f***...

Figured why not? I can get a pair for about $175 from a local audiologist and I can afford it. I'll let you know if I think they are worth it.

So if we pray and God doesn't cure our T, God doesn't love us as much? I don't understand. Seriously? I find this kind of post to be silly and...

Found this: http://www.firstwordpharma.com/node/1309195#axzz3jY4B2lz8 Sounds like it is only to prevent damage and also sounds like it isn't...

Well based on the autifony participants experiences (blah) I don't forsee a cure anytime soon.

Yep, the real way we win against this T nonsense is to ignore it until we forget we're ignoring it and then just keep going. Not saying it's easy...
