@Michael Leigh I'd like to ask you one last question regarding this the topic. As you said the first time you had T it was accompanied by severe...

I agree. I experience both things - H and Reactive Tinnitus (in form of "winding-up" effect) In my case worsening of T lasts more than several...

And you're doing so since 1994 or did you got some major setback in recent years?

Yes I am aware of the relation. Long before I developed Tinnitus I was considering myself as having poor hearing. Especially in loud environments....

Thank you for your addition to this thread. There's one thing I am not sure how to interpret. I am somewhat familiar with general conclusions of...

I really want to thank you just like others in this thread for trying. I know I am a hell of an ungrateful advice taker with this "denying...

@GregCA I guess I will have to ask a neurologist or ENT when I visit one about this whole mri thing. As for perception vs actual volume - You can...

yep. Started with 1mg only during bad days but eventually ended with 3mg every day. I am taking them every other day now but I guess they don't...

I don't have CBT therapist. I've seen a therapist some month ago and it was nice, friendly talk but it didn't do much good. I've read some CBT...

Mountain biking, computer games, playing guitar, midi controllers and music production stuff, gym, movies (art-house and so-called classics...

Ok guys, let's finish this thread with some proactive approach. I plan to visit a shrink to get an AD. Any thoughts on remeron? I made some...

I guess you're getting to me with this post. I often think the same to myself but It's just so hard to adjust to the condition that is so dynamic....

I am familiar with breathing exercises. I guess they work to some extend. I am doing them when I need them the most - Before the sleep. It helped...

I don't thrive for the recovery. I would settle for having the comfort of my T staying at the stable level to which I can habituate. Then I would...

Can I ask kind of a technical question? How did you address sleeping issues? When T was so loud that you were unable to sleep what were you doing?

Like it was my decision to monitor it or not. As I said I have long episodes of not monitoring the T and forgetting about it for the whole weeks....

@Greg Sacramento Most of my life issues are the effect of Tinnitus. Whats more worries which I had before the condition now I treat as joke...

Yes. I am pursuing this possibility. I am waiting for the visit with surgeon and fixing my bad teeth meanwhile (which as you can guess is another...

Several months ago I would agree. I remember after each worsening/new sound etc I was in innitial stage of despiar but after a while I would...

Yes. Anxiety definitely plays a role now. But after a year I can separate increased perception from increased volume. I'm worried that the stress...

That's strange. I had MRI to rule out otosclerosis. That what my entire told me. Anyway, developing sclerosis in both ears within 3 months time?...

Yes. I am positive that my condition is the effect of listening to music through earphones. I am sure that I have hidden hearing loss even if my...

My experience exactly. Since the onset I've lived the life of moderation but ended up with louder/ more reactive tinnitus anyway. @Bill Bauer...

@GregCA Audiogram - fine Oae - fine MRI - fine Blood pressure - fine Thyroid - fine Lyme disease - nope Tympanometry - fine Tried steroid...

Yep. I wish I had known that before

I don't quite understand. You mean that even if we assume that the level of sound reaching the cochlea will be the same in both cases the use of...

@Michael Leigh @GregCA I've checked specs and they stated frequency response 20-20000Hz. I can hear hardly up to 16000. Actually, the...

So that would mean that the same white noise recording played on bone conduction headphones would lack some of the high frequency sound? Have you...

Thanks for response:) That's the problem - the lowest possible setting is already too loud for me. And it completely masks my tinnitus which is...

Did anyone here try to use bone conduction headphones as white noise generators? A few months ago I got WNGs from NHS as a mean to improve my...

Do you know the exact model of your siemens maskers? Did it irritated your Tinnitus at the beginning? I mean did it make your Tinnitus louder when...

From my own experience, anecdotal evidence on this site and studies regarding hidden hearing loss and synaptopathy of coachella I will say... Yes,...

I can't say I'm totally satisfied but thank you regardless:) May I ask You something else? Did you ever have a second thoughts about the cause of...

Thank you for your effort but as far as I know TRT courses are available for anyone interested. Theoretically and practically You don't need to...

Let me be a bit skeptical about this statement. Official TRT training lasts... 3 days (source http://www.tinnitus-pjj.com/training.html). Do you...

Avoiding sound is not the same as protecting from the potentially harmful noise. Some TRT enthusiasts will tell you that you should only protect...

@Anna V. Totally agree with this statement. In first weeks of my Tinnitus I was experiencing residual inhibition when using white noise or taking...

I was trying to make adjustments all the time. But how am I supposed to know which of them were helpful and which making things worse in long...

@Dem, the spike went away eventually but since then I had several other spikes and permanent worsenings. I also got a hyperacusis in that ear...

Hi, Eventually it went away. Try not to do any Valsalva anymore... Can you still feel the water inside?

I didn't have a chance to try them yet. But I will. You're sure there is no sound whatsoever even when NC is on? There are several threads on the...

According to several websites and my experience (I tried two different models so far) noise-canceling module in these headphones are producing...

I guess I'll have to check them out. I haven't tried any other Bluetooth headphones, I had this impression of mandatory bluetooth noise after...

@Bill Bauer @GregCA So I've tried a new pair of the same model and there's still this low level static/humming sound (a bit like white noise). I...

Hi! How was your flight? I am about to have long distance travel and started wondering should I take the risk (2,5h flight) or go with a Bus and...

@Zinnia There seems to be a solution for occlusion effect vs hearing protection dilemma but rather an expensive one:...

@Sen Did you have your MRI already or still waiting. To give you some reassurance: I have had MRI done twice this year and in both cases it didn't...

Great to hear that! How was the therapy administered in your case? Did you have some sort of injections? Did it involve several sessions? Thanks

@Jantine Same here. Moving my jaw forward, backward, sideways, pressing palate with a tongue, yawning results increasing both pitch and volume of...

That's the problem... I was evaluated by several ENT's. A week ago I've had a follow-up visit and although I said about new symptoms (new sounds,...

Hi. It seems that I acquired something similar to what you described. Did it cease eventually in your case?

Hi. I just found the same study. Did you try the aspirin eventually? If yes, have you noticed any results?

I see. Your onset of T... was it after one specific episode of trauma or prolonged exposure? Did you get H from the start or after some time? I...

Understood. Thank you for the answer. I think that this is quite alarming. Don't You think that 70db doesn't seem to be that loud objectively? I...

Would You clarify on this statement? You wrote that recurrence of your Tinnitus was due to listening to music, that wasn't turned up loud. "Not...
