My tinnitus started out so faint I could only hear it in absolute silence, and then only barely. It's gotten slowly but consistently worse since...
We do have thousands of useless cures like that. How do you think the vitamin and herb companies stay in business? I have tinnitus as part of...
Notice how in most of these cure posts the person doesn't claim to be really cured but only some degree better, which of course makes it harder to...
My tinnitus has gotten very slowly but consistently worse since onset. At first I could only hear it in silence, now I can hear it over traffic...
My tinnitus has gotten gradually worse since onset and is still getting worse. I have tinnitus as part of a neurological disease called "visual...
I often deal with my anxiety by eating. I often buy and eat an entire tub of frozen yogurt because deep down inside I'm scared of what's happening...
I have the same thing, a tone in both ears, a hiss in both ears... It's kind of good in a way because I can never pay attention to all of them at...
Well that's where habituation comes in. You say it's hard to talk to people while hearing tinnitus, but remember high school and the cafeteria? It...
If the volume of your tinnitus varies perhaps this is a good sign, since maybe yours will get quieter in the future. Give it some time and see...
Yes, I have a hiss in both ears as well as a tone in both ears. Larry has a good idea, think of it as a shower, or a waterfall, a nice relaxing...
Here some encouraging thoughts I often think to myself. First we know there are people with very loud tinnitus who have habituated so we know...
I use earplugs to sleep also and have since I was around 15 years old, I'm 31 now. My tinnitus is caused by a neurological disease that also...
I also have progressive tinnitus. The sleep thing, I go through bouts where it bothers me and I don't get much sleep, but then all it takes is one...

"50 million Americans have chronic tinnitus defined as not having tinnitus. Now that the misleading headline has gotten you to read this, it can...
Perhaps doctors, knowing they can offer no real treatment or cure whatsoever, say things like "the tinnitus is just your anxiety" because at least...
Carol I was referring to the original post, not your reply to it which I agree with.
There is a slight amount of offensiveness to this post, especially because some members of this forum have tinnitus extremely bad. But I think,...
You have to be relentlessly optimistic. As people with tinnitus, especially those of us who have tinnitus as only one symptom of a disease, there...
It would be funny if there weren't so many naive people who actually believe mystical new-age things like this, allowing a whole industry of...
There's something called Mal de debarquement syndrome that sounds similar to what you describe. It's where people go on a boat trip, and after...
Maybe the anticipation and uncertainty of knowing it would be your first night trying to sleep without pills also contributed to your restlessness.
Glad to hear that Sue. Hey everyone, let's get some more *hugs* going. Not just on this thread, but on all the threads.
It seems like my symptoms get worse before a storm. I have not only tinnitus but visual problems as well thought to be related to migraine...
No. Do people who live next to the ocean still hear waves when they're away from it? As tinnitus sufferers we're constantly told about habituation...
It depends on what's causing your tinnitus. I have tinnitus as part of a neurological disease, visual snow syndrome, and my tinnitus along with...
One of the theories about visual snow syndrome is that it's an autoimmune disease. This would explain the rarity (as the vast majority of...
Yes it has a name, and it's been on the news too. [media] Pretty much everyone who has visual snow bad enough to be bothersome also has tinnitus....
You're welcome for the hug. I know that we can learn to ignore our tinnitus, stay strong.
I got tinnitus as part of Visual Snow Syndrome, a disease characterized by the symptom cluster of visual snow, tinnitus, palinopsia (increased...
Keep us updated and I hope you get better. I think it's very interesting that many people in the visual snow, tinnitus, and floater forums have...
My tinnitus/crunchy ears/visual problems also began with a headache. It's perhaps migraine related. Isn't there a relation between migraine and...
Visual Snow Syndrome doesn't show up on CT or MRI scans. It does show up on fMRI scans as problems with how the brain processes contrast, though...
That sounds like increased visibility of Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon (aka Scheerer's). This is another related symptom of visual snow. If so,...
Do the floaters you have look like little circles within circles?
I have this problem too, the crunching, crackling noise whenever I swallow of even move the muscle in the back of my throat. Presumably it is, as...
Tinnitus Miracle is a multi-million dollar scam that uses internet marketing to reel in victims.
Maybe at the time you learned about it you already subconsciously knew you had it and this is why you were researching it. When my tinnitus first...
I would prefer to give people a little more credit, if someone says their tinnitus has increased I assume it has instead of assuming that the...
I recall also how up until very recently (into the 1990s) doctors thought ulcers were caused by "stress and spicy food" (sound familiar?) then...
I agree completely. Why do some doctors do this? Perhaps this quote from From “Bedside Manners Skills for the Clinician” partly explains it -...
Great post. I've had tinnitus since 2009 and after reading this I wanted to register so I could tell you that. What you've written here is pure...
