I've had pretty moderate/severe tinnitus for over five years. In that time I've largely learned to deal with the noises and pain, but I respect...
I developed pulsatile tinnitus on the same day I developed my regular tinnitus. I've never had either of them before the 17th of April 2017, but...
@Pink Noise I've had noise induced tinnitus for about three years, likely due to headphones. I still record and mix music daily and have done so...
I'm glad your tinnitus isn't as troublesome these days; however, I completely understand that you'd still like to be rid of it. I'm sure many...
That's great to hear that you're in the clear - good luck with your follow up, I hope that things remain well for you. My PT has felt vascular...
I really appreciate you taking the time to get back to me regarding this. Thank you for the links - I'm glad you were able to identify this issue...
Hey, Wishing you all the very best for the coming year and hoping that the research world will give us some good news regarding treatments in...
@Bill Bauer No, I meant my friend who was the groom at the wedding I attended. Either way, it doesn't matter. I was just pointing out that you...
@Bill Bauer You offer an opinion on many people's experiences here (even my friend's, as you pointed out above, with very little context as to...
How's silence treating you, Bill?
Hey @Elfin I was in the exact same situation at the start of May from a Stag Doo (I was out in pubs from about 12 till 9 or so). I had a spike...
Hey @Candy Sorry to hear you're having a hard time. If it helps, I was at a stag doo at the beginning of the month, so I know how it can be when...
Hey, Sorry to see you're stressed out over your spike - it's horrible, totally feel for you. If it helps, I've taken Prednisone in the past and I...
Two years ago I came down with tinnitus at the same time as an acquaintance (I knew who he was but we were never close). Strangely, the tinnitus...
Glad you had a nice time! Ross
Hey @Sven Likewise, I'm much more careful. It's also not an attack on Bill, it's a differing stance - probably one that aligns with what you...
Bill, my point is this: the case you put forward suggests the probability is that their tinnitus will get worse. That's simply not always true....
Bill, you are a tinnitus sufferer and you do not have "all of the information." You might even agree that tinnitus is a very individual...
Followed closely by a healthy dose of schadenfreude... Take care, Bill.
@Sven thanks for clarifying. Interesting, @Bill Bauer : Glad you get some form of enjoyment from it.
Be careful when listening to Bill's scare tactics. Ear plugs and you'll be fine. If it's too loud, bail. Ultimately, your call. Asking for...
Hey @Stacey427 Aspects of my spike were permanent, for example my tinnitus has been a hissing sound since then. But the overall volume has...
Hi @Stacey427 I've been in this situation a good few times too, each time the spikes have subsided. I know exactly how you are feeling right...
Hi @another sean I had the same issue for a toenail that I ended up having removed. Before they could do this, I had to take a course of...
I have PT that started the same day as my noise induced tinnitus. My PT also increases with noise exposure.
Hey @Smartone202 Your case is pretty much identical to mine. Generally, I have the head buzz which I can hear over everything and ringing if I...
If you've been in loud environments and haven't experienced a spike, that's a really good sign - particularly an MRI, which most folk here would...
Thanks @Jack Straw I think it's important to share the positives. @TLion I'm definitely not habituated to my tinnitus, it's very much something...
Hi there, I recently travelled from Scotland to Southern Ireland for a wedding. I was a guest at the estate that had been rented for four days...
I'm not a fan of antibiotics and would have previously avoided them regardless of tinnitus. I know there are a lot of fears around erythromycin...
I know that personally I was reacting more to sound out of the fear of making the ringing any worse. It was almost self fulfilling, in that if I...
Hi Bill, I'm fully aware that I have tinnitus, I'm not recklessly endangering my ears by exposing myself to overly loud environments. Far from...
Incase anyone goes through a similar thing, I started this thread over 4 weeks ago due to a pretty bad spike caused by staying in a really loud...
@Sean thanks for the well wishes. I'll keep you all posted on where I end up with this. So far though, it's a beautiful day in Scotland - maybe...
@Sean Initially just people talking until about 6:30, then a dj turned up which apparently even non-tinnitus folk thought was too loud. I'd have...
@Michael Leigh Thanks for the information. I have read many of your posts on this forum, all of which have been very informative but clearly also...
Thanks @Michael Leigh I had stumbled upon this post from Bill on Saturday afternoon while trying to frantically find out what I'd done to myself....
@Sean thanks for info, good to know things settle down after a while - I'll keep an open mind for the next few months and try to be a bit kinder...
Hey Chef, You've pretty much described my Spikes to a T - no pun intended! Like you, my spike is poorly timed. My family are away, my...
Thanks @Bobbie7 and @JurgenG it may well have been the booze, time will tell. As for living a monk, I couldn't do that if I tried, I'll probably...
Hi all, This is the second time that I've worsened my tinnitus. On Friday I went to the pub after work with a few folk. We had a half day, so it...
@attheedgeofscience Thats the second time in one thread that you've tried impose your brand of "wit" on a tinnitus forum. Sadly, it just comes...
@Fangen I'm quite new to tinnitus and posts like yours are both encouraging and informative to those of us who want to continue to engage in fun...
Hey @Robert Chazz I literally had my gallbladder removed last week - did you also have yours removed? If anything my tinnitus has worsened...
I quite often meditate, sometimes in groups, sometimes by myself. The classes I attend are pretty big, so the sound of so many people breathing...
Pretty sure my tinnitus is the result of an ear ache, combined with days of mixing and recording. I agree that more musicians should use their...
Hey, I've had tinnitus for around 3 months and until last Saturday I'd say I was coping fairly well. I attended a wedding and was a guest all...
Hey Aridani, I'm currently trying acupuncture. I've had two sessions and I've been pleased with the results so far. But this purely anecdotal....
It's been two months since I developed tinnitus. After spending four consecutive days recording and mixing music (at, in hindsight, stupidly...
