@Samir Hi, I've had Bell's Palsy! It was a terrible experience, especially since it was spring time here when it hit me, and since I couldn't...
I'm sorry if this sounds disrespectful, but I laughed pretty hard reading that. That's like a Dr. Nick on the Simpsons scene :) But, I think if...
Tell him the truth and give your ticket to a friend so he has someone to go with.
You could just pop in ear plugs when you're scheduled to wash dishes. It'll be easier to obsessively monitor your tinnitus and you won't have to...
Do you? Haven't you mentioned how good your hearing is? How much you enjoy hearing all the detail in your hifi stereos? How severe of tinnitus...
@Louise , I had mild tinnitus for 16 or so years that never spiked even after going to many concerts, etc without ear plugs and became so quiet I...
@racerfish , did the antibiotics damage your hearing or just amplified your tinnitus?
everything's better in stereo :)
It's really dependent on the person. I could snack on salty, sugary foods all throughout the day, have a pot of coffee, too, with zero affect on my T.
alcohol is one of the very few things that affects my T. A beer or two doesn't really do anything to it, but if I tie one on and enjoy more than a...
It's kind of funny in a sad way. A lot of tinnitus sufferers are so knowledgeable about tinnitus, they read about it obesseively, know there's no...
Yep! I woke up in the middle of an intense dream and my head sounded like someone hit me with two massive tuning forks! It was a volume of...
@Word_is_Bond , I think you're fortunate to still have normal hearing. You should be thankful for that; a lot of people don't get that lucky....
I know I don't have one of the worst cases of tinnitus on this board, but I definitely don't have one of the mildest cases, either. If I had the...
Don't do it, man. Think about it... you have tinnitus... tinnitus. Your ears are ringing. The beauty of the world is dead to you now and you must...
@stophiss , I honestly was not trying to sound like a jerk. I've obsessively worried about what could spike my tinnitus before as well, so I'm not...
This is pretty simple. If you're worried about a multivitamin spiking your tinnitus, don't take a multivitamin. Who really needs those things, anyway?
No kidding, hey? Visual static gets that bad?

I never use headphones anymore. It's probably OK at low volumes, but personally I know after a couple songs I'd get lost in the music and that...
I've had noise induced tinnitus since I was about 17 and I'm 33 now. I love music, and ever since I was a child, I can remember being glued to...
@linearb, my (small) knowledge of Kava Kava comes from what I used to read about it on Erowid and some Usenet groups many years ago. You're far...
D'oh! Sorry to hear you spiked, man! Did the spike happen before the dentist?
Whose to say? I actually haven't heard much about Kava Kava in the past 12 or so years. It was popular around recreational drug scenes for it's...
what Glynis said. I've been through more than a few fillings and a root canal and I've never left the dentist even with a temporary spike. A lot...
There's no definite answer to the questions you're asking, so in that regard, accept it as permanent and move on. You're better off doing your...
ah, ok. since my hearing loss and tinnitus has been gradual over a lifetime of blaring noisey music I'm not aware of the loss of richness as...
@Jason C , what do you mean music doesn't sound the same? I can't hear 14+ either, but I listen to music all the time (safely, mind you) and...
What about the type of noise a person hears? Is there any relation to the hearing loss? or is it just a matter of what your brain wants to make up...
Sam, I'm with you, I have no idea what's actually mild or moderate.
I'm 33 and I can't hear 14 and up based on this video. I'd rate my tinnitus as moderate in my left ear and mild in my right. It's odd to me that...
Was it this? http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/ocular-migraine.htm
My dreams have tinnitus in them now as well. Once I initially became aware that I was dreaming without tinnitus, it started to show up. Funny how...
no problem! I'm glad I could help :) Cheers on the clean bill of health! Happy new year to as well!
Is this a support board?
It's loud again because you're scared of your appointment. I hope it goes well, man. Report back here tomorrow and let us know!
Not worth it. Kava Kava is hard on the liver and you'd need a high dose of it to get a claming effect that may affect your tinnitus positively. I...
Of course there is, it's a story from The Daily Fail
No problem @Chris16 I hope Dave's post above puts your mind at ease for a bit
How long until you get the results back? I'd assume if you had a tumor, they'd tell you right away? no? Doesn't sound very professional either way...
Yeah, take a deep breath and take a minute to think that your anxiety might be getting the best of you. get some sleep. Life is full of incidents...
Most likely wax. Seasonal allergies and colds always clog my ears and when they're clogged I get those pops. It's the wax moving around and little...
Where do you get custom molded ear plugs done at? Is it from an ent visit or a private business? I wouldn't mind having a pair myself.
Well, now you know that when you see you have a phone call from your brother, you should play it safe and put him on speaker phone instantly :)
I think you should try and explain your hearing concerns with your little brother so he doesn't do that again
@Chris16 no worries about crying; tinnitus can bring the manliest of men to their knees. I've cried over my tinnitus before, but I've habituated...
Sorry to hear that. You've habituated before, you can do it again.
Do you still have your original tone? The ring that first became permanent? I don't. Mine evolved into a chime and electric type sound over the...
You'll habituate as well :) Just don't become careless when you do.
You'll be ok. I've had tinnitus since I was your age for the same reason you have it. I've worked in busy kitchens and bakeries for the last 16...
I have some floaters like a good majority of people in this world. a small cobweb of little clear bubbles and some thin dark lines that wisk very...
@Stephen1144 , sorry to hear that. I did look for your thread but didn't see it. I've seen other compaints here about threads being deleted or...
@Stephen1144 , neither melatonin nor chamomile had an effect on my tinnitus.
My T sounds like a high pitched chime mixed with an electric type of sound and I've definitely experienced the head almost buzzing with T in the...
I miss headphones sometimes. I know I could probably listen safely, but I don't trust myself with the volume slider :) too easy to turn up.
I used sound therapy for a while when my tinnitus became worse and I was scared of it. I can say first hand, that playing nature sounds at a...
So, hyperacusis isn't a permanent condition? That's nice to know. I'm habiuated to my tinnitus. I hear it all the time, but I have no emotional...
I've had noise induced tinnitus for half of my life, but I've never experienced any kind of hyperacusis. I see it mentioned on this board all the...
I've always had floaters for as long as I can remember. I thought everybody did? If not, oh well, I could care less about them. When I was in my...
Tinnitus, it's the reminder you're still alive :)
