Separate names with a comma.
For me these would be the ones. The sheer energy of the whole place. Also, what started me down the path to tinnitus unfortunately. [MEDIA] [MEDIA]
Be careful, most people probably mix up towards 80/85dB. Sound perception/EQ changes with volume, which is why people mix at these levels. In my...
You are correct in your thinking. If you feel it's dangerous to be exposed to those loud environments, then don't go. Listen to yourself. Doing...
None these days (thank God!) but Remeron and Trazodone in the past. Remeron leaving me feeling better the next day, but Trazodone really knocking...
I found the best thing was to get busy living. This may sound rather cheesy, but try and sit with it, recognize, label it, whatever, but without...
I call BS on this.
I believe it, but I think for most it's so low that it doesn't register except in very quiet surroundings.
I bring both earplugs AND over-ear protection, and will wear one or both as needed. But honestly, your best bet is to find a theater that's...
You're not alone. Clanking plates KILLS me too. And I feel my hyperacusis is so much better than the original onset of the T.
I would choose plantar fasciitis any day of the week over my tinnitus...just saying :-) At least if you sit down the pain goes away? I've had it...
I would reiterate what someone else said. Focus on what you can do, especially mental health. Reduce stress, exercise, and keep your mind active...
If anything I would think it would make it better, because you'd be getting more oxygen to the brain and better sleep. And better sleep also means...
I think many of us with moderate to severe tinnitus would say clubbing is a "no way in hell, it's not worth it." I know one of the best things we...
6 months to a year for me. It's very loud, but somehow some of the mental emotion has left. The biggest help has been staying...
I think it's going to be an epidemic. Think about all those people with their car stereos cranking and trunks rattling from the volume. Or the...
Yes, that is called Valium, LOL. No, but seriously, I know *it's there for me* if my T becomes unbearable and I start losing it. It doesn't make...
I *had* that type of tinnitus for 10+ years, where you'd hear it if you really listened for it, or if you were trying to go to sleep in a quiet...
I wish this forum would show the postings dates in BOLD... it's hard to tell that this post is actually kind of old, yet has recent activity and...
3 tabs a week seems fairly low. What dosage are the tabs?
Remeron helped me sleep when I needed it. I was probably on it for a couple months. I didn't notice an effect on the T other than giving me more...
~8.3khz and up hissing, like a spinning hard drive with loud bearings. Thankfully, sometimes it's like AM radio static at a slightly lower volume....
Mine started maybe 3-5 days after the last of my loud noise exposure. It came on with a cold, and took maybe 2 days or so to reach volume.
I use a free app called Signal Gen on the iPhone. You can adjust the pitch with a wheel until it matches. I don't use earplugs to do this, just...
Same here!! But it was also preceded by noise exposure. It definitely came on directly with the virus though, and days after the noise exposure.
Sleep is #1. Without it, all coping skills seem to go out the window and the T seems louder to boot. If it's bad, and I start really focusing on...
It was a common cold (but a bad one) that the doctors think pushed it over the edge. Also, I did play at home (guitar) but didn't think it was...
Regarding the Etymotic plugs, from the looks of them, I'm sure a good set of dense custom molds would probably offer much greater volume...
Well, *my* suggestion, being a fellow musician in a rock band, is to stop playing out, LOL. I would give just about anything for my ears back, and...
I think what you're going through is common--I was suicidal the first week, quit caring about things for weeks, didn't see a future, etc. Make...
How loud are you playing?
Totally late to this thread... but I think the brain sort of "reboots". Sometimes if I doze off for even 5 minutes in the afternoon I will notice...
Only to get the masking noise effects, not for the hearing aid part.
Hi everyone, Here’s my story, it’s long (sorry!) but I don’t want to leave anything out. As a kid I got frequent really bad ear infections, to...
Yes, hearing loss in 8kHz range, exactly where the T is. :-( I think 8k is at -45db in my right ear. Left ear is also down at 8kHz, but not quite...
Hi all, This is my first post (I'll post my full story later..) but here's the short version: I got my T about a month ago, very loud, it came on...
