I just saw it right now. First of all, it's a great movie. One of the most fun movies I've seen these couple years. But what I loved is that the main character actually suffers from Tinnitus. If you all see the trailers, the main guy is always wearing headphones. At first, you think it's...

I have that as well. I've had it for a month and a half now. Been sadly mines been getting worse. Not that it's gotten louder, but I keep getting new tones. Been hell for me.

Do you happen to know anybody who has habituated to reactive tinnitus? I've acquired it recently and I'm so damn scared I'll never get used to it.

What do you mean when you say you have reactive tinnitus?

If you all have seen my recent post, I've acquired reactive T. After being habituated for a year and a half now to my hissing tone, I've gone back to my dark days. A month and a half ago I woke up to this mild high pitched sound that reacted to stuff like running water and ceiling fans and such...

I'm hoping you're doing better by the way linearb. You helped once before and told me that you were somewhat habituated. Hope it's stayed that way!

I hope it is just an "episode" and temporary. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I've had it! Starting to feel like it permanent.

Hi guys. I'm still struggling a bit with my new reactive tone. Tomorrow will be two weeks since I've had it. I'm not struggling the same way is struggled when I first got my regular T (those were some really dark days), but I'm still have some anxiety and I don't have motivation to anything...

That's how I got it. Listened to my IPod in middle school and high school at high volumes everyday. Don't do what I did.

My main tone is a hissing tone. I've had it since the beginning when I got it in September 2015. I'm already so used to it and have habituated very well. I habituated 2-3 months in and for the most lived normally. But yesterday I woke up with an new (in a way, old too) tone. A reactive tone...

Hello. I'm back. I used to post here A LOT last year. But I habituated and I'm doing extremely well right now. :) Maybe I will post a success story soon. To be honest, it hurts coming in this website. TOO MANY bad memories. Anyways, these past 3 days I've had a sore throats and it hasn't...

I got Tinnitus last year in September and posed that comment/reply on October of last year as well.

I'm leaving for 5 days tomorrow to see my family. Have to through flight though and it'll be my first flight since I've gotten T. Really scared. Any tips?

I was there were you were not too long ago, I kid you not. I got my T early September. I got it from listening to loud death metal music at max volumes on my MP3 for the past 5 years. It started as VERY mild buzzing when it first started. Only heard at night in complete silence. So I was only...

I don't really know if they caused spikes. But I usually don't care for them cause I know they're temporary. I've eaten donuts and cookies and have no problems. I think it depends how much sugar their is. I remember I had 3-4 cinnamon rolls and my T spiked but it went down in 3 hours. I don't...

Don't worry. Mine did this all time. I kept having low days and keep thinking " Hey I can get used to this". And then BAM! next think you know I'm back staying in my bed all day crying about my T. This happened a few days after getting somewhat used to the sound. Now I don't really damn about...

Lol. Well it's been a while that I've had T. 3 months actually. And these spikes that I spoke of don't happen anymore. They would always be temporary spikes that lasted a few hours. Now I don't think I get them anymore. Or at least I don't notice them.

Pretty loud then. Congrats on getting to this point. Happy for you.

How loud is your T?

I would say those whose goes away are those who had short term acoustic trauma. Like going to a concert or something. Me on the other hand I've been listening to loud death metal music at max volumes on my MP3 for the past 5 years. Can't believe it took me this long to get it. I've surprised...

Hello guys. Haven't been here in 2 weeks, mainly because I was doing so great. I basically feel like I'm almost habituated to my regular hissing/static tinnitus that made made cry so much in the first month. I was happy for a while. Still kind of am, but I'm full of fear again. 2 weeks a go I...

I was also very sad everytime I would wake up my first month and half. Especially when I would wake up in the middle of the night with my Tinnitus being 10x as loud than regular. Like litterally. It so loud, but I would always settle. That passed thankfully. But I would still check if my T was...

My God. She must be one of the toughest ladies I've ever seen. That's is very loud T! :o Gives me so much hope. And that was a year ago. I wonder how well she is doing now.

My tinnitus changed so much the first month and a half. I remember it started as a very, very mild buzz. Then 3 weeks later it became more high pitched and not so mild. Mine kept getting worse and worse. Every time I would start tolerating the change, I'd get another change. This happened a...

Where can I find this success story?

Would you say it prevents from being happy or living life? That last sentence kind of sounds like habituation.

How long has it been since your tinnitus got worse? Also, how bad was it when you were 19? Mild or severe?

Thank you, sir. Hey, do you consider yourself habituated? I've seen many of your post and I can never see a straight answer from you. Haha.

Oh crap. I got tinnitus from using loud earphones for the past 4-5 years. Very mild though, how I don't have high pitched loud T is beyond me. I abused my ears with maximum volume earphones listening to death metal. I expect my will get worse then when I'm older. :(

Maybe wear musician's ear plugs?

I saw this thread got a new answer. And I was hoping it would be the author saying something like this. Thank you. You made my day and made me much happier.

It could go away since it's very early. Even if it doesn't, your T sounds very mild, so you'll probably feel better in a few months, trust me. I have a hissing in my ear that I hear in silent rooms, I've had this for weeks, and I feel a lot better. The only reason I'm annoyed by T is because...

I'm 17 and I have a mild tinnitus. Not too mild but mild. I got it from listening to death metal music though earphones at max volumes. How I don't have severe high pitched tinnitus is beyond me. I'm still scared that it will get to that point in a couple months. Hope not. What I also fear is...

I have about three tones right most. I had one, but over the past 5 days I've developed 2. Both being reactive by the looks of it. Is it possible for a tone to go away?

I've got reactive tinnitus 3 days ago on top of my regular tinnitus! It's bugging me so much. I'm hearing wind blowing and a dentist drill. I'm so scared. I was feeling really happy this last few weeks with my regular tinnitus and probably would've habituated in a month. But this RT is insane...

I have regular tinnitus, like a static hiss, since early September. It has changed sounds since then but it's been the same for weeks with an occasional temporary high pitch change. But on top of that I keep hearing a wind blowing sound whenever I'm around noises. It's really annoying. I was...

Among people who've had tinnitus for a while, how many had tinnitus and had it go away? Also, what is the percentage of people who habituate?

I've had tinnitus for 2 months already. These past few weeks though have been really good. I haven't habituated, but I've tolerated a lot more and I have been sad at all about my T. More like just bothered by it. Anyways, from my 2nd-3rd week of tunnitus I had developed reactive tinnitus, so...

My grandpa told my mom that a way to help tinnitus is to put ear drops in my ear, then get a piece of cotton, put Vicks VapoRub on it, put the cotton on my ears during at night when I sleep. (If you come from Mexican/Hispanic family, you would find this "remedy" humorous.) Anyways, I'm pretty...

I got tinnitus from loud music from earphones. So the I assume that damaged my hair cells and that lead to tinnitus. Does this mean it's permanent? Or can you have damaged hair cells and not have tinnitus?

How loud was your T?

Past 3 days I've had a hissing sound instead of the high pitched ringing. I have to say these days have been much easier. It's way less intrusive and easily maskable. Whereas a week ago it was bothering most of the time. Not it bothers me when I put my head on pillow or when it turns a high...

So you think it's best not to use headphones anymore?

I'm a month and half into tinnitus and I have not used earphones/headphones since then. I truly miss listening to music. It's seriously a drug. Haha. I got tinnitus from loud earphones from the past couple years. I have a pair of food headphones I want to use. I heard they're a lot more safer...

Really? Well I hope so. Hey what you know, one good thing about tinnitus. I am now forced to watch what I eat. Haha.

10-15 minutes ago I ate 3 cinnamon rolls. Now, my tinnitus is clearly louder. Sucks because I was having a low quiet hiss day. It's still a hiss, but it way louder. Is this permanent?

Right now, thankfully, I'm having a low day. Right now it's just a low hiss. I hear it but it can be masked easily. Hopefully it stays this way. I may be able to live like this. Just maybe. But anyways what is bothering now is that I feel my tinnitus around my lower head/neck. You all ever feel...

Really bugs that when I got tinnitus early September in the middle of the night, I only heard it at night. Now it's mid October, and I hear it most of the time. Some things mask it, but not all. Why is this? I've gone through volume changes and sound changes. I had reactive T for a some weeks...

What caused yours? You sound very much like me. Sometimes I have moments where I don't notice my tinnitus and the sometimes it becomes louder. Like if I have a spike that last a couple of minute.

Hey, Trobalt is a start ain't it? Not see about a cure, but some reduction I'm pretty sure.

I doubt it. I'm sure there will be treatments soon that will reduce it but tinnitus sounds too complicated to be cured completely so soon. Maybe in 15 years.

What makes tinnitus permanent? Does damaged hair cells mean guaranteed permanent tinnitus? If I listened to loud earphones for the past few years does that mean it permanent for sure?

Funny thing is though, week 4 is when my tinnitus become intrusive and bad. Week 4-5 is when I began becoming sad all day and I cried so many times. It's week 7 and my tinnitus is more annoying than ever yet I haven't cried in 2 weeks. I'm doing better. Not good, but better. Yet my T is still...

You happen to know if tinnitus that was caused by acoustic trauma like I described gets worse? My tinnitus started something I can only hear at night to a constant ringing I hear 24/7 along with reactive tinnitus. All in one month in half. It's gradually gotten worse. For no reason. I given...

Thing is, the fleeting T. I had this as well before T. But this is not fleeting T I think. Fleeting T would happen to me about once every 2-3 weeks. This is different because it happens so many times a day and it feels different. Feels more like a minute spike. I doubt I have somatic T. Pretty...

For the past few days, my tinnitus keeps changing ears throughout the day. I usually hear it in both but most of the time it just feel more focused on one. And focus changes ears. It also keeps getting a high pitch that last for a minute. It's already high pitched all the time, but it gets...

My tinnitus was caused by loud earphones that I used every day the past 4-5 years. I've heard neurontin can help people with noise induced tinnitus. Is this true?

2 weeks ago. I had bad days all the time and bad nights. I would wake up in the middle of the night with loud T OR extremely louder T. Last week I had better days and okay nights. Not my T is more intrusive. Been kind of bad the past 3-4 days. Just when I started feeling better and now I'm back...

Hyperacusis. I had this for a couple a days. But it was mild. Nothing to painful but my ear were sensitive. Like when I shut the door or when something fell. I've never heard of this being permanent though. I've heard with of people with severe hyperacusis bringing ok in a couple of months.

I keep telling myself there are people with ALS who are suffering a lot more than I ever will and that shouldn't be such a coward because I could be in worse situation. I also have the same noises you have. I have a buzzing that I sometimes feel physically and can cause some temporary ear pain...
