I haven't read through all the posts, but I believe I have T also I get "reactive T" when I am exposed to loud or constant sound. For example, I...

Greetings everyone! Just dropped in to give a quick update. I've had T for about a year and 4 months now. During the daytime I rarely notice it...

Hi all! It's been so long since I last visited. Everything is going well. My ears still ring, especially my left. I noticed there's a direct...

Hi all! I haven't been here in so long I can't even remember! I just wanted to say hello and that I wish everyone well. As for my T, it's...

I use a free iPad/iPhone app called Relax Melodies. It's highly customizable. Place my iPad/iPhone near the head board and keep it a very low...

Yes, but I think all hearing is diminished when one yawns at least. When you chew the sound of your chewing my drown out T sounds.

Thank you @Stina and @shan. I appreciate your support. It seems my T is at an all time low now. This past weekend I was so nervous after being...

Not just talking. 200 people I'm a small room talking over one another. It was LOUD.

Things will get better. I am certain of that. I had T over 15 years ago and it went away completely. And then resurfaced at the end of...

Afrin and Sudafed has helped diminish my T too. If your T is caused by a sinus/ear infection it's very likely these meds would offer relief.

@Grace, It was so long ago that I don't exactly remember the length of time, but somewhere between 3 and 6 months.

@Tenna, Thank you. :)

@LadyDi, Yes, I'd say I was never distressed by T this time around. Strangely, I was mostly curios about it and the course it may follow. I...

Hi @DebInAustralia, My T began in late October/early November 2013. This is my second time having T. I had it for several months 15+ years ago...

@Jeff M., Winter and spring are usually good here. I love rain and I wish we had more of it. I don't like summers here... It's too hot for me. I...

Thank you, LeQuack. It's quite strange to me. My T typically emanates from my left ear, and very rarely from my right.

Nick, maybe your tinnitus hasn't actually increased since you're sober now, but maybe your perception of it makes it seem louder.

I drink maybe one alcoholic beverage per year. I've just never had an interest in it.

It's so strange. This has happened before, but in my left ear. The ringing in my right ear just got very loud, then faded off into near silence....

Thank you, @Smoogle. I hope yours settles too.

Thank you so much, @Stina. My cat is doing better, thank you. I think you may be right that it's fatigue and/or stress related. I just got off...

Update.... My right ear just began ringing. What the heck? No morse code type sound though, thankfully. I swear I'm just listening to all sorts...

I live in coastal Southern California. The weather's been warm. Too warm. And too dry. I'd love some cooler. temps and rain. It's been in the...

I'm not certain what frequency range they test. I do remember though we'd refer our most difficult cases to House. Here's a link to their...

@Per, Years ago I worked for an audiologist. We often referred to House Ear Institute. It's very well known and has a fantastic reputation....

Thank you all for your posts. I had been out of town and didn't notice the replies. I find this all so strange. My right ear has been all...

I just wanted to share that the sounds in my right ear only lasted 24 hours (roughly). Once I finally felt well rested the T sounds were gone...

When my T first came on, the beeps for the timer on my camera (I'm a photographer) even bothered by ears. I can't image playing an instrument.

If something works for you, keep it. If it doesn't work for you, reject it. The OP is beneficial to some and not to others. I believe he had only...

Quoting I who love music... "When you think about tinnitus, think about this blood flow and getting lost in something creative. There are many...

Thank you @I who love music. I had one night about two weeks into T where I awakened 6 times with the screeching. The next night I tried my iPad...

I have ambient nature sounds at an extremely low level on all night most nights. I position my iPad between my pillow and the head board, but...

I have my plans set for New Year's and for some reason I just realized it going to be LOUD. I'm not sure how to best protect my ears. I'm...

I also use nature sounds where crickets are one of the elements (the other elements are storm, wind, and a fire crackling). Love my crickets! I...

Thank you sharing. I'd have to agree with this article. Nothing seems to adverserly effect my T except for loud noise exposure.

From what I understand, the volume of ones tinnitus can be measured by the appropriate medical professional with the proper tools. I've read (...

I can usually hear my T over everything. I hear it when walking along 4 lanes of traffic, the TV, etc. The only things I don't hear it over so...

Could it be that what is causing the tinnitus is also causing the dizziness?

My best friend lost both her biological parents and her step-father to inoperable lung cancers. Once diagnosed, they each only lived a matter of...

My 38 year old sister-in-law (with 4 children at home) was diagnosed with uterine cancer. She was treated by doctors within her HMO without...

I agree with the OP! Thank you so much for sharing.

I always wear ear plugs in th movie theater now. The movies are so dang loud I can hear everything perfectly anyway.

@Neenie, is this what you are using?...

I'm glad you're doing so well, @Darren Knight. Your positive attitude must contribute to your overall well being. Thank you for sharing. :)

Hi Neenie, I think you would want to aim for habituation. I have not masked at all during waking hours (I've had T for two months now), and...

Nice! Do you have a link to what you're listen to?

More than likely it'll decrease to its baseline. Try not to stress about it. Get a good nights rest and it may be back to its normal in the morning.

I live at the beach and I find the sounds to be quite soothing. I not think you have anything to worry about.

I think you're right, I who love music. I often sit in silence and try to listen beyond.

I believe that can be very effective. Thank you for sharing.

Hi @2014winner, Yes, I believe this time it was caused by an ear/sinus infection. My left ear (t ear) was full of fluid. But I hadn't heard any...

Hi @demi, I had bad, crazy loud noise induced T 15+ years ago and it went away completely in months. It can fade so much as to not be noticeable...

Hi @jmccombs82, Regarding my screen name, Misery was the name of a beloved pet cat that passed away. It works well as a screen name because it's...

I've attended several movies since having T. I just wear NNR 32 foam earplugs. The movie is still plenty loud.
