Currently in the middle of my worst spike yet (going on 2 weeks now) so I feel you. I hope this goes down but it's hard to be optimistic about it,...
I keep going through up and down periods with my T. For a long time this spring/summer, I felt like I had, if not fully habituated, then...
I slept for a solid eight hours on Saturday night (sans medicine), and spent Sunday with my boyfriend's family with the T barely noticeable....
I would never go with earplugs in. Plugging my ears magnifies my ringing to begin with, so I can't imagine how horrible it would be at the...
This thread has been really helpful for me. @michela , I've been experiencing the same anxiety and "what if?" thoughts, which seem to get worse...
Yep, @russiancarl, that's exactly what happened. I'm trying to stay positive, because I eventually felt better and acclimated after my first spike...
Thanks for the advice, everyone. My T has been around since 2005 but was very low-level until this January, when I had my first bad spike in a...
Wanted to give an update - I had the first of three procedures for this done today, this one being the one with some drilling and a lot of digging...
@inadmin No, I'm careful about it now. But that gave me a base level of T that began around 2005. This latest spike began in January for no real...
@inadmin I suspect it's in part from listening to loud music (even though I always used ear protection at concerts after my first bout in 2005),...
I'm currently experiencing a really bad spike, the worst since I started noticing the T back on January. I can't sleep, even with white noise and...
@Grace I had my teeth cleaned about two weeks ago, and they used the UltraSonic. It wasn't too bad because it only happens for about 2-3 minutes,...
@luckyman316 That's what I'm worried about! I've heard people say this before...this will be my 2nd root canal, and the first happened without any...
Thanks Leah! That makes me feel a little better. When you say ear protection, do you mean earplugs? Or the bigger ear defender headphones? Trying...
Hi everyone, wondering if anyone has advice about getting dental work done. I have a few procedures I need to do over the next few months (the...
Apologies in advance for the whine. But the past few days have been as close to unbearable as my T has been since this recent spike happened. I'm...
@DebInAustralia It was definitely good! Hard to say if it was worth another big spike, though...
My T was actually doing a little bit better over the weekend - either I was getting used to it or the meds I was on were maybe working their...
Wow, @alibee, thanks for posting that video - that's really helping me, too!
Neenie, I know how you feel. I'm lying awake with T screaming, seemingly worse than before, after getting a few hours of sleep. I've been taking...
Not a treatment question per se, but since my latest flare up I haven't been listening to music much since the only headphones I have are the ear...
@Steve Thanks for the response! I'm not listening to them through headphones, so this helps. I've had them right about at that level and keep them...
I still go to concerts but I'm much more careful about prepping before I go (wearing earplugs, not standing near speakers, etc.). My biggest...
Going through the same thing right now. It's been a few weeks and seems to not be getting better. It's frustrating but I'm holding out hope it...
Mine definitely gets louder at night, probably because I'm worrying more about whether or not I'll be able to sleep. I also surround myself with...
In order to try and get some relief from my T (especially at night), I've been listening to sounds via a white noise app on my phone. (The app is...
I know noise is the underlying cause of mine, and is what gave me my first bad flare-up about eight years ago. but as for the most recent...
Christine, I'm not sure. Most of the literature I've found says that there shouldn't be an increase but anecdotal evidence seems to suggest...
Has anyone else noticed a change in the tone, volume or pitch of their tinnitus over time? Mine went from being a fairly low-volume, somewhat high...
Hi there, Glad I found this forum. I'm sort of at a loss for what to do. I've had tinnitus for some time now (since 2005), most likely due to...
