I have a feeling that wifi and anything that connects to wifi might affect tinnitus if its within the range of your head. Good observation, I thought I was the only one thining the same. Im in the same situation, had t. in only one ear and recently started on the other. Im trying too, hope the...

Im puzzled that you didnt give up being in the band as soon as you got hearing damage. This question is easy to answer

Do what you can and enjoy as much as you can, stay safe and wear ear protection when necessary. Enjoy

I just dont want to die alone, I dont want anyone to suffer finding my remains, I want to get my affairs in order, I want to be able to say goodbye to those I love and express how much they mean to me. There is very little options in the US for those of us experiencing ongoing mental suffering...

I'm 26, I live in the Los Angeles area, but Long Beach is my 2nd home. I have been dealing with tinnitus since I was 18, it has been really rough the last couple years and getting tougher but Im doing what I can to stay sane and joyful about the simple things in life. I enjoy the simple things...

Clearly you took no consideration in reading my heads up. Support comes in the form of information sharing that can be useful to the person asking for it. You are exacty what I was avoiding, I dont want a lecture from a know it all, Im sure there are many who wouldnt be responding to help right...

Heads up, I'd like to kindly ask any member with a hall of fame, ambassador, or team research badge to not reply, I feel you are the first to respond because you have badges, points, and ratings as your first priority, thanks. Questons for anyone with tinnitus for over 8-15 years, how has your...

I would give up music in a heartbeat, forever, in exchange to get rid of t. Sure music is nice, but its nothing compared to your health.

Anyone below 24 with tinntius is too young to have it, I just have to put it out there. Assuming 40 is young to have tinnitus gives people the assumption that real young people with tinnitus are non-existent or rare, that stereotype, isn't true. I was 18 when my life was ruined. Getting tinntius...

Im 25, a communications student at Cal Sate Long Beach, I have a part-time business, Im a good mentor to my co-ed Fraternity, I live in Los Angeles, California, but also lived in Long Beach which I consider to be my second home, I love drawing, I love the beach now more than ever (helps with...

I have had t. for 7 years, I tried joining a group, its great but I find myself trying to support them and I don't tend to put my t. problems out there much, its run its course, its not helpful for me. I can't go out, overtime my t. spikes, I've lost friends because I refuse to drink and...

Thank you for sharing such a great outlook. I feel I can relate to your story, Im still going to school and trying to get my career back together. My t. also got worse this last year, to the point where I couldnt zone it out and Im stuck in a whole right now. Your story is helpful, I hope to...

Thank you everyone for reaching out and being supportive, it says so much about your character and Im thankful for your compassion, youve made a difference and I thank you with a deep appreciation for that. In the last few months my t. noise has fluctuated so much that I cant habituate. I think...

Thank you @Cheza, you are very kind, I appreciate you reaching out to me and to others, you are very courageous to care for others, I hope that you are doing well and prospering. I feel its just a matter of time before this takes over me entirely. I cant hear myself think, I cant read anymore...

@Dana What is your age?

I know exactly how you feel. Tinnitus robs so much, all at once, and nothing ever feels right. It feels like being in solitary confinement with a never ending noise. Im also looking for answers to help fix my peace of mind. Its extremely hard. I cant make friends or be in relationships, because...

I feel broken and unable to fulfill my life's purpose. Im tired of crying everyday, every year is harder then before, and my tinnitus gets worse. I hope everyday that today is the day, someone accidently crashes into my car, someone murders me, or a terminal illness develops in me. My body has...

Hi, Im Carlos. Im 25, I live in Los Angeles and am a student at CSULB. Im in a fraternity and its hard sometimes to be honest with my friends about how I feel or that I even have hearing loss because I dont want to scare them. I can relate to all of your stories, I first got tinnitus at 18, and...

I live in Los Angeles too. LA can be a noisy place, make sure to protect your ears from now on, the fact that you got tinnitus means your ears are succeptible to tinnitus in the future if you damage them. Stay away from loud noises, live the happiest life you possibly can, be more open to people...

Hi Im Carlos, I got tinnitus when I was 18. I got t. from loud noise exposure. I habituated my first 6 years and now im 25, and in the last year a new higher pitch has started in my left ear, and I recently started hearing t. in my right. Im also trying to seek a way to lower my t. I just want...

During mid December, I was invited to a dinner with my fraternity from school near East LA, it was great. After, a brother invited us all to his house to continue the celebration. This was in Compton, I parked my car, got out to walk towards my friends house and as I was walking a man got out of...

@Enrique Thank you for the message. Some advice, be the best man you can be. Hold on to the treasures of life that have been given to you. The material things of this world are no longer important when afflicted with health problems, as Im sure you know. Never get comfortable with your...

In 2015, euthanasia laws were passed in California. An attorney must be consulted to evaluate the health, mental state, and reasons to use the End of Life Option Act. All healthcare covers euthanasia if approved. Im pulling through day by day, but my quality of life is just gone. Im fatigued all...

If anyone would like to start a prayer cirlce, please share a bit about your faith with me in a personal message or right here on the forum if you are comfortable. Also, post your petitions so I can pray for you, as I hope you will pray for me. God bless us all!

My life has passed me by, the last 7 years of my life were supposed to have been the happiest. Instead Im capped at enjoying the positive things in life at 30% and I feel the negativity hightened at 180%. I feel empty, alone, and I know the older I get, the worse my tinnitus will get and the...

Im heading to class shortly, going to school and striving for my degree is the only thing keeping me together right now, and its becoming very hard to keep up with. I hope to continue meeting new people. This website and community has helped greatly and Im anxious check back in a couple of...

@RaZaH Yes, my tinnitus got worse over time and its gotten extremely bad in the last 5 months. I do protect my ears when the noise level gets high in my environment but sometimes its hard as a loud noises have to occur as a cue for me to wear them. I recently became paranoid about going out and...

I hope nothing but the best for you and the trial. I know exactly what you mean as I have hearing loss as well with my tinnitus by loud noise and can relate to your situation. I want to ask what what is the AM-101 study consist of? If all goes well, what are the desired or expected results? What...

You aren't helpful. I asked if there is anything that can help lower the noise? not cure it or heal it. I've had it for 7 years now, you dont know what its like to suffer with it for that long based on your response and profile. I can do with more positive people, even if the answers aren't. Im...

I've had tinnitus for 7 years now and it's gotten so bad to the point where I can't focus and live a sane life. Does anyone have any treatments, diets, or home remedies that have helped you lower the phantom noise if your tinnitus was caused by a loud noise?

I have constant flashes in my mind and fantasies of putting a revolver to my mouth, or an executioner axing my head off, I cant believe my mind is forming these thoughts as a solution. Its hard to believe this is real...

To live for myself, doesnt seem worth it anymore. I can have a million, even a billion dollars, and will always feel poor without my full health. No matter what I do, I cant feel whole again. Since I was diagnosed with tinnitus, I lost the feeling of happiness, I dont know what it feels like...

@linearb Thank you for your response. I had a girlfriend 7 months ago, and she was the person I opened up to the most, I was open and honest with her before we got together, I told her my sitatuion, future struggles, but I assured her that I would always love her (my last relationship before her...

@hopeforhappiness Your response is extremely helpful. Since I was a kid, Ive always loved dogs and the dogs I come accross are always inclined to want my attention. It would be a true blessing to have such a loving animal. I am going to try my best to figure out what my options are and Im going...

Im an only child, raised by one parent, with a fraternity of friends. But friends are not aware of my situation, and the person they love and know, is ony half of who I am. Im afraid of losing the people that help keep me sane by telling them about my tinnitus. I basically receive no support...

The tips I am going to give you now are much more in detail and somewhat harder to accept, but trust me, I made so many mistakes because I didnt have the proper guidance, I wish I did before my tinnitus got extremely bad, but I want to help you. You are going to have to give up some aspects of...

@Zorro! Your words are very humbling, thank you for being a friend and suporter, for the first time in a long time, I didnt cry today. I am extremely thankful for the advice and conern. I am very humbled by everyone. I wish I could meet you all in person.

@Ecip I agree with you. I am now seeking treatment because its gotten so bad to the point where I am on constant alert which takes so much energy from me that it leaves me fatigued all the time. I am having a hard time writing research papers for my classes to get my degree or continuing my...

I know exactly what you mean, having tinnitus and as time passes how the cycle insecurity and anxiety repeats as newer tones and louder noises are experienced.

Your story is very similar to mine. A past friend insisted I go to a club with him, even though I didnt want to since I had never been to one and was not interested. I kept saying no, and I finally accepted to go just to keep him company, and it turned out to be the worst decision of my life. I...

The answer is no, I looked for treatments online but there is nothing concrete, just speculation of potential cures that will come in the future, but it doesnt make a difference to know that future generations will be saved, as it doesnt apply to this most current one. I stopped giving myself...

I got tinnitus from loud noise. I went to a regular doctor and was referred to an ENT. All the ENT did was tell me the degree of hearing loss I have, told me that there is no cure, to use white noise to mask the tinnitus or buy a hearing aid (which is not a solution). I never went back to...

@Tweaker Thank you for reaching out, your words are very helpful. I know how tinnitus can disrupt work, I started my own part time buisness online because working in unpredictable environments, or loud places, is dangerous. I worked as a merchant/teller at a bank, and couldnt continue because...

Thank you for the encouragement everyone, it truly makes a difference. This is the first time I have contact with others that understand the journey, I am delighted to meet you all. What helps me is reading the Bible and praying, hanging out with my friends that have accepted Christ in their...

I've tried to live a normal life. I don't have family, just my mom, she really cant do much to help, and keeping up with freinds is hard now that I cant go out anymore. I feel so alone and just wish God would take my life soon. I've felt suicidal for so long, I feel I died on the inside when I...
