Yes. Four different, high, tones in my left ear, at least two in my right, the occasional "visitor" tones, and a white-noise like hissing.

I do not have hyperacusis, and I the horns bother me as well, especially when in a parking garage.

I'm sorry to say that the current understanding (as far as I know, and I am certainly not a doctor) is that the issue is more in the brain and...

Yes. The movie theater would be the main focus as we have no control over the volume there.

Yes, "Harmful" may have been the wrong word, my english is not the best. But do you believe there is no benefit to listing movies that our members...

Well, as I said, I have had mine as long as I can recall. So I think I can raise my hand on that one.

I was fine with it, so while I always heard it it didn't bother me until the first spike a few years ago. Yes, a few years ago it spiked...

I've had mine as long as I can remember. I have never experienced silence. I first learned that it was not normal when I asked someone what tones...

Hi @Andrei90 . It could be perception. You are probably hyper focused on it right now (which is understandable), so you may be experiencing things...

@JasonP, thank you for the post and the information. Can you give us a hint as to how much they cost (especially the bluetooth ones that connect...

I do not know. I have had two permanent spikes, one a few years ago, and the second a few (probably four to five) weeks ago. And I have...

Hi @Lefty11 . The first thing I would recommend is remain calm. Most people recover from tinnitus within a year or two. I know that sounds like...

I am glad. And no need to apologize. While we may not always have agreed, I have always appreciated our interactions and respected your opinions...

Not at all, I was hoping the smilie would indicate I was joking. Apparently I failed to get my point across. I have both read enough of your posts...

Thank you @Michael Leigh . I shall look into it and see what is available in my area.

No. I have absolutely no idea (I wish I did, because if I have another spike I do not know what I will do). I never used headphones (except on...

Thank you. (un)Fortunately, it is not an option. I have made promises to people whom are extremely important and special to me, and I intend to...

The recent spike just pushed me over the edge. I have a few people whom I would be able to turn to for help but they have been struggling with...

I get them all the time. They go away, and it is the same tone every time, but this "visitor" tone (as I refer to it) happens often. Usually I...

@GeorgiaRose1812 , I do not know if anyone can answer that question for you. The best source would be the paper that is provided to the pharmacy...

I know, but you can't stay there. What is done is done. You cannot change the past. You have taken the important lesson from the incident, now you...
