Separate names with a comma.
Mine seemed to increasingly get louder and more volumes in the first 6-8 months of worsening. I’ve had quite a few stretches of quiet tinnitus...
To summarize, absolutely none of us here have any clue. The only thing we can all agree on is that blasting music directly into your eardrum is...
Hi mate, It sounds like you’ve potentially experienced an acoustic trauma. Stuffy ears, increased tinnitus, and pain after loud noise exposure...
It sounds like classic acoustic trauma; the same boring advice applies to you, I’m afraid. Take it easy for a little while and certainly avoid...
I can’t help you with the Glaucoma or medication. But I’m well aware of what anxiety can do, and it’s certainly caused me issues with my eyes. I...
This is just a small update and reminder for myself, really. The facial ‘burning’ certainly abated. I don’t want to classify it as burning since...
I am no expert on hyperacusis; to be honest, none really exist. However, I have read countless accounts on Tinnitus Talk to gain a good...
Can see you think your cause is an ear infection. And your tinnitus is somewhat intermittent? Have to give it at least 6 months before you can...
It goes up, it goes down. With or without sound. Many people have tried to find rhyme and reason as to why. And have ultimately failed
I had an illness (possibly Covid) which is causing me facial nerve issues, neck and arm on occasion. And yep reactivity back to its worse
Hope the lingering face pain dispersed and you were able to go on your trip :)
I respect that you disagree with my views, as I do with yours. There's a reason politics and religion aren't often topics of discussion in pubs....
It’s interesting watching this argument; it’s certainly a shame it’s become personal, but evidently, there must be some history there that I’m not...
Took me a year to see improvement on that front
To be fair, Isis would claim responsibility for my tinnitus if they were aware of it
No, sorry. I meant that I see no merit in gatekeeping the information personally. I was just trying to summarise why I think others might.
The same thing happened to me (minus the purse). I started taking it around the Hayfever season as it truly clears your sinuses like nothing...
I see no merits in this personally, but I can perhaps understand why some people are reluctant. This is partly due to what you say about 99% of...
Short-term use is absolutely fine; prolonged use (months) can lead to very bad rebound inflammation that may leave your ears in a vulnerable state...
Hi @Michael Leigh, sorry to hear of your tinnitus becoming a little more troublesome! I hope this is a temporary thing and reverts back to your...
No patronizing intended; I just assumed you were a new account and was not aware of the conditions.
Please research the hyperacusis and noxacusis threads.
Nice to see a thread from @Danny Boy in the feed.
I actually returned to a very quiet construction site just before Christmas. I was only there for two days and didn’t have any issues other than a...
Hi @Jenny_S, thank you for your kind words. I am thankful you also have a supportive partner; a lot of people don’t have that luxury,...
I don’t think I’ve ever read this thread; it was certainly an interesting read. But I’ll throw my two cents in that nobody asked for. I have a...
Many of you here know me by now. However, my story appears very clustered and only updated via comments on other posts and minor profile updates...
Spikes with obvious causes don’t seem to bother me as much as the ones that come out of nowhere. Hope you don’t spike regardless though!
This sounds exactly like what happened to me. I was having a shave and then all of a sudden my right ear felt blocked. The tinnitus in that ear is...
For those who want a laugh, I attempted to return to some site work just before Christmas. I knew this would be relatively quiet for a building...
Interesting, my worsening of tinnitus happened after stopping a decongestant that I was using for 6 months+ straight. First few days a stuffy ear...
From this forum, I’ve learned that exposing to sounds makes tinnitus worse and avoiding sounds make tinnitus worse. Seem to be shit out of luck...
Is that true? That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing and, if anything, my tinnitus is probably louder now. I have new tones I can pinpoint to...
I have no advice unfortunately, I do at present sleep just fine with my crazy tinnitus. I don’t take anything other than magnesium before bed and...
This thread and the comments perfectly highlights one of the only things we do know about tinnitus and the thing we are discussing at present....
Yep, that seems to be the issue, maybe it makes no difference what any of us do. It may follow the path it intended regardless.
Definitely overprotected. The only time I’m not in hearing protection (silicone Loop earplugs) is when brushing my teeth, eating or when I’m...
Interesting read, my tinnitus seems to spike and react much easier than it did during the ‘middle phase’ of my worsening. And the only thing I’ve...
Appreciate that bud, I’ve got no idea if mine will remotely follow your path. But the chance I may lose some of these tones is the optimism I need...
It’s impossible for me to measure my volume fluctuations but what I can measure is tones. I went two months or so without acquiring a new tone and...
I think that is part of the reason why I’ve agreed to continue with my sessions. At the consultation she wanted to know every aspect about my...
Hi mate, I did reply to you. But it didn’t go through. Will re-write it for you shortly
Hi bud, I’ve had tinnitus for around 8 years. 5 months ago it got about 10x worse which I believe was due to inflammation and then I got a...
Hi mate, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. It’s Clifton Audiology I attend. You’ll be seen by both Mercedes and a gentleman called John....
Yep, Bristol, England. I’ve got a few thoughts on digital audio and of course none of this is scientific and only my observations through reading...
Luckily my audiologist’s field is primarily neurosensory science and she’s up to date with much of the research. I asked her why digital audio is...
Mr TRT is pretty much exactly the same protocol as you’ve described. I was also told to have the TV on to stimulate background noise while doing...
The best way to go about this is to believe it’s permanent. It’s that much more difficult to habituate when you’re waiting and hoping for it to go...
I could watch and play with the sound on mute, and I guess, to be honest, it’s a mental thing for me in that regard. I just don’t want to admit to...
I’m intrigued how you get on with this. For 5 months now I’ve avoided digital audio and I’d like to reintroduce it. My tinnitus has been somewhat...
@gameover, like you, I’ve been limiting my time on Tinnitus Talk, which has unfortunately made me pretty terrible at replying to everyone so I...
I wonder if increased heart rate is playing a part
I’ve just come back from a walk in the country myself, my tinnitus seems to always roar after time outside. But today it was exceptionally loud...
This is where it confuses me when we talk about loudness of one’s T. Some occasions the fridge masks my T, but most of the time I hear it over the...
Honestly, I fully understand this. Before my worsening I was at a stage with my tinnitus that I wouldn’t have been tempted to alter it in anyway....
I really appreciate you guys putting this together, I can only imagine how much hard work it was going through all those questions and choosing...
Was thinking about asking how you were getting on in regards to this setback just the other day. I feel like has stabilised a little better as of...
Is this still the same spike from your Tyre incident?
It’s funny how we all look to one another to see if it’s possible to recoup our lives. I do the exact same and I use @AnthonyMcDonald as an...
I certainly feel like it’s been the case for me
