Yes, you are correct that Tinnitus Talk seems to have more chronic sufferers. A poll will be lopsided. Tinnitus ruined the type of work I was...

You should try a cross country ski machine, like the old original Nordic Track. I still use one regularly. You can find them on eBay or on...

Heavy metal? Are you trolling this forum? Unbelievable question if you have read this forum at all. You have tinnitus. Concerts are a thing...

It doesn't sound like you have the typical noise induced tinnitus, for which there is no cure. It sounds like you may be lucky in that it is...

I mostly had to give up music. It wasn't as much of a loss to me as apparently to you. I can do without it except for during exercise. I never...

They use a manual scaler on me now. Try requesting that.

First question is Yes for normal. Stress is likely the reason. Everyone on here wants an answer to the second question. Just don't go to the...

If you are on one floor and the renovation is on another there should be no effect on your T at all. They aren't going to set off dynamite in...

Anything that jars the brain can exacerbate Tinnitus. I would not run with T. There are plenty of other good exercises that don't jar the body.

Adderall is a horrible med. It causes all kinds of problems. I have never taken it. But from what I can tell about one person on it, I think it...

I'm trying to guess the number of days it has ever settled down just a little. I can't quite put a number on it.

Mine spikes after vigorous exercise as well, but doesn't last very long. It probably has to do with an elevated pulse.

Vitamin D3 is recommended by some medical sites for Tinnitus. Congrats to the OP if stopping it helped you. I think it has been reported in...

Distraction helps me. I love the sounds of outdoors. [MEDIA]

If your brain can "memorize" T it looks like it could memorize the quiet you experienced before T. Your ENT pulled that out of his ass.

I couldn't tell you about a rainforest in Texas. When I'm outside with the wind blowing, especially in the fall or winter with leaves blowing, my...

Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Kamala Harris.

It changes a lot, all the time. Some days the left is so loud that I don't notice the right. The good days are when the left settles down from a...

[ATTACH] Folks, I have gotten some great information of this forum. And I have read some things where I just have to say "wait a minute!" I...

Here is a YouTube video showing a chase. There was a shootout during the chase. The the cop fired many rounds from within the inside of his car,...

I have bad tinnitus and use good quality noise cancelling ear muffs and shoot from time to time. That is what you will use in the academy. I...

357 pistol without ear protection. A 357 to me has a louder crack, or higher pitch noise, than even a 44 mag.

Different types of pavement, with various types of tread, especially in a lightweight car, makes my T worse by the end of even a short trip. I...

I think the title of your thread fits quite a lot of us with Tinnitus. Each condition sort of exacerbates the other. The T somewhat causes ADD...

Yeah Jazzer, I too hope you are doing well. I'm posting just to move this to the top and ask if you, and anyone else, to start posting some...

Meatloaf is sometimes like meat pudding.

In time you will be able to answer your own question better than we can. My experience most days is about the same. But the reason for mine may...

I think it is possible to psych yourself into having spikes. If you dwell on it too much you will. OP, You took the necessary...

Idiopathic Tinnitus: Going to extremely loud concerts, riding around in vehicles with ground shaking stereo speakers. Yeah, sounds about right...

Only if the painter holds you down and fills your ears up with paint.

I've read the same thing and I think it is one of those statistics that was sort of "invented." I've learned in the past few years from...

Those ultra quiet jobs mentioned above would drive me crazy!! I want noise, not NOISE, but some kind of distracting noise. I am at my best when...

I would not go to Six Flags, or for that matter a haunted house with your kids. Good hearing protection is basically making you deaf to your...

My work gets my mind off of T.

There is only so much money for medical research to go around. Unfortunately Tinnitus is not even close to the front of the line for the funds.

I have a hard time believing that your hearing test was accurate if you have bad tinnitus. The reason being, I think your tinnitus would mask at...

I agree with the blood flow theory, especially if you are lifting heavy weights. I knew a high school age power lifter that had a vein burst in...

I had a relative that used to say something about various illnesses like "What doesn't kill you can make you stronger."

John Adams and newbie T, your exchange is of no use to anybody----idiots!

I disagree with some of this. I think the effect on people can vary as much as anything else. We have veterans like my dad that shot everything...

I don't notice much difference while drinking some beer. But the T much is worse the next day.

I gave up salt for a while, no help. I gave up alcohol for a while, no help. Coffee or not, no difference. Spent a lot on supplements, no help.

I still can't say habituate. I've learned to tolerate or almost ignore it. Even after all these years, I still can't pinpoint all the reasons...

Jazzer, I don't look at the site near as much as I used to. But when I do I always check to see if you have posted any more neat pictures. As...

The first few months are the worst. Hopefully in time you will figure out how to cope. Unless you are lucky enough that yours is temporary, you...

I can't stand hearing protection, unless my ears need protecting. I like noise all the time, just a very low level.

I take both of these every day, same dose as OP. I started them long after T and have found no adverse affects.

I'm familiar with the big Stihl handlebar string trimmer like that. It is a beast of a machine. Think about how you hold that trimmer. The...

I quit running long before my Tinnitus came along. I've been walking or using other low or no impact equipment for almost 30 years. I'm pretty...

I drink way too much coffee. It can cure a headache. I get headaches from tinnitus. So in that respect coffee helps. But when I don't have a...

If it is your home put her stuff on the porch and change the locks. If it is a shared expense apartment or something like that then load your...

It's bad that musicians with zero talent think that turning it up will make them sound better.

I can't answer that. I don't trust phone apps to measure noise levels and haven't measured anything with my phone in a long time. Also, what is...

It sounds like you have Hyperacusis. My ENT said I have Hyperacusis. And, like Tinnitus it is somewhat subjective. I have decided that based on...

I don't have to tell anyone that we have a very serious health care crisis. There are other health problems out there to deal with. I mentioned...

My dad shot 50 and 30 caliber machine guns in the Army in the 50s. He shot M1 Garands (30-06). He fired bazookas. He fired canons. He was...

I don't know about cocaine, but acid, heroin, and some old Pink Floyd music really distracted me enough to not worry about Tinnitus. (obvious...

OP, It sounds like you have a vicious cycle of stress going on. That by itself is possibly what is driving your T to high levels. We all know...

I know someone who had it for years and then it disappeared. I don't think his was that severe though. You mention that yours is worse in the...
