I have those same headphones - and ironically I had them for some time before ever getting T. Good monitoring phones for recording drummers.....

I think H is probably temporary for most people. And the ones that get it for longer end up here.. Play it safe w headphones and loud music my...

Frankenstein is just misunderstood. But, you nailed it w the bolts! That was my secret easter egg... Frankentinnitus..

I want to. I even downloaded an app that helps folks without inside writing skills format a book. My pal Larry U just released a self-published...

Trying to figure out T's quirks is like trying to guess where a rainbow will appear.. Hopefully this is a temporary downswing on the way to full...

There's no reason to stop doing any of this. In fact it's important not to let T defeat you that way.. Get a pair of comfy muffs for when the...

You are masking T with T

What about Schweed? Don't drink but I do puff. It's tricky. Doesn't spike or hush T, but if you are concentrating on something else like a book or...

I don't understand the question. Caffeine is awesome and terrible. I might get a slight temporary bump in T from it but I don't obsess about it.

Contact Vanderbilt Hearing in Nashville. They can probably steer you in the right direction.

These appear to simply be in-ear musician monitors.. High end ones mind you - but traditional.. Ambrose' tech features some sort of artificial...

H presents itself as a much lower threshold to percussive sounds etc than you normally would have. There is an element of pain reaction to it....

Don't tell anyone but the "P" is silent. Pronounced "Tom". This gets him out of a jam at some point because in this world there is a famous book...

Haha thanks! I got infatuated with the idea of Ptam recognizing the beginnings of the apocalyptic end as out of nowhere the world realized there...

If my book could be four pages I think might be able to get it done! Seriously though, it's presenting dialog and thoughts in comprehensive,...

I'm sure it's not so boring... Fleshing out details is the hardest part I think. Especially when I keep falling asleep while doing it. I'll spare...

Haha - That's The Ramones.. Sadly, every one of those guys has gone to Rock n Roll heaven..

My ears blast sonic waves of shrill horror but I still manage to conk out in about 10 minutes. Wasn't always that way though. What I've done in...

At some point some perfectly brilliant person will acquire T and they will slay the beast with their own driven genius.

I imagine it's associated w a perfectly normal re-action, just gone haywire. And in that case it should give us hope that there is a map to fix...

But there's way more money in replacing limbs. T sufferers are the red headed step children of the health profession..

oh my back. My back and my neck.. Too much guffawing hearing 20 year olds complaining about old age I guess. Now let me find my hair and my teeth...

Frenchie! [ATTACH]

They say a deadened, perfectly quiet room will give everyone a slight ring in the ears. A bit of DNA from the days when humans all lived...

Small rooms do weird stuff to T. Bathroom fans too.

If these are your only issues - and HL is not progressive with inaction then it can only be your call. I couldn't wear an amplifying device if I...

Cheers, that's a little different..

I'd go and ask the doctor to wean you off all the drugs. You can't live on that stuff - and as you already have T you don't also want the baggage...

Have you tried earplugs when you sit at the computer? Might be an interesting trial.. Not sure what "shifts to my head" means. That's where my T...

I'm not saying there's not some drug that randomly works for certain people. Xanax knocks off some anxiety for me but does literally nothing for...

Aspirin makes me spike for an hour or so. I always felt it personally not a huge trigger.

What's in a price tag? I have a person in my life who obsesses over the monetary value of everything and it makes me insane. Tinnitus is the...

I wear plugs when they run the drill or grinder. Helps a bit but the sound travels through bone though. I wouldn't worry an iota about a tooth...

Ear fatigue happens when your ears are subjected to loud, constant sound for too long. My best description is that it stops sounding musical and...

Funny story. I was wearing Muffs at a gig in Knoxville. Drunk lady comes up and asks "what station are you listening to?" in a smartass way. I...

For me they are way better than the ones you buy at Lowes etc. Better fitting, better freq range cut and much less head-pinch sensation. I can...

I have those exact ones.. Eventually switched to these (green ones) for comfort.. [ATTACH]

Tinnitus is the black lung of the music industry. Most musicians that have been around for more than a minute have it. There is a painful story...

Just makes mine worse..

I've seen them 3 times. Twice in the 80's which I vaguely remember the volume, but the last time was in Nashville on the last tour at Bridgestone...

I don't think there is 100% habituation for any of us. There's always those freakout periods of being trapped with the sound. They just tend to be...

[ATTACH]

I don't know of any drug that reduces Tinnitus. If it existed we'd all be on it.

What do you hear when you sit by your computer? Is is perfectly quiet? Is it in a very deadened corner?

Just read up on Mutebutton. Interesting. Do we know of anyone here w experience w this therapy? Guess I was a year early. Was in Ireland this...

On good days I have the hissing perception (middle of the head) which is ultimately each ear ringing out of phase from each other. On bad days it...

Though I do have to travel to the manufacturing plant occasionally and it's nonstop 100dbs of massive thundering extruders. Will not enter that...

There are certainly jobs out there that T would keep me from doing. Hustling pet food is not one of them.

Oh if it were only masked by a ceiling fan..:woot: Maybe a poll "Is your T masked by the shower" as running water supposedly covers all...

I agree with that about "too much attention" potentially pretty much always being a bad thing. But I have mostly habituated the anxiety of T out...

Congrats! Ear protection at clubs/concerts from here on out right?

[ATTACH]

Major nosedive in barometer today - and like clockwork my T is just wailing. H is up as well. Anyone else in TN or surrounding noting any...

Altitude could definitely be a variable. My T ebbs and flows with spikes and drops of barometric pressure. Good question about "noticing" your T....

So in simple it essentially is intended to re-awaken the hearing-loss zone by blasting it with frequencies in that range? Not too far off from...

How does RI work?

... and probably means you are good candidate for treatments etc to find a permanent cure. Maybe cold laser, or one of the hearing aid options..

I'm no wine drinker, but if this is true I would be pounding the vino day and freaking night! A temporary 'cure' as such is mostly unheard of..
