In fact no sooner had I spoke than today things are much worse again, but I am wondering if it’s not a coincidence that I’m super stressed and...
Yeah I am prone to lack of patience and I understand that with tinnitus/hyperacusis, actively seeking a "cure" usually has the reverse effect....
Update: Switched from youtube pink noise videos to a pink noise generating app on my iPhone as I had a feeling that youtube encoding etc. was not...
Generally speaking neuroplasticity can occur both quickly and slowly and there is no real reason it shouldn't be reversible even when engrained...
All I can say is that you must have had extremely good filtering in the part of your brain that processes sound because no sensory organ is...
Above the age of 25 we know for sure that everyone has some degree of hearing loss as a result of damage to hair cells in the cochlear even...
Little update, still having ups and downs but generally better each day. The tinnitus in quiet environments or noisy environments without high...
You have to balance all the possible reason tinnitus can become louder due to some physical problem, with the way your brain works in perceiving...
A great success story because it highlights that for those of us with normal hearing and no disease, even if we had something (eg. ETD, a...
The problem seems to be that these specialists charge huge amounts of money to give you this information :( I certainly don't want to do any...
So I saw an ENT today, this will be the last I do see. He told me that my hearing is just as expected for someone my age, that I have very minor...
The floaters I found very hard, they were undeniably physically there and like tinnitus you can go through a period of being terrified they are a...
I don't know if you have a history of health anxiety but this is a common trap to fall into, I have done it many times myself. See an ENT, get an...

Thanks for your reply Carly! I find my tinnitus comes and goes, the things that make it worse seem to be noise and movements/tension. I never...
My tinnitus began 2 weeks ago suddenly. High pitch, varying frequency, varying volume. Worse with sound and greatly modified by neck and jaw...
Yeah I think I just need to fight the urge to analyse it too hard, it just leads to over fixation. The ENT didn't think much of it, and I suppose...
Yeah.. this is the main thing that's worrying me. It doesn't seem to fit with most ETD stories and it makes distractions very hard.

... does anyone even get better? At first I thought that a diagnosis of chronic mucous build up in the inner ear and a happy pat on the back from...
