When I first got tinnitus, I avoided loud noises for sure. I hired someone to mow my lawn and didn't go near power equipment either. It was a...

I'm back! I wish I were coming back to tell everybody how great things are going, and for the most part, they are. I have tinnitus, and it is...

Hello all! I haven't posted an update in a while. The tinnitus is still here with me and I don't see it going away. The good news is like...

Quick update, a bit of a scare today. I was in a quiet room and I heard that 'warbly' noise in my left ear again. It caused me concern because I...

Quick update if anyone from the Class of 2018 visits. The t is still very much there but as stated the h has gone away, possibly completely by...

I'm happy to report that the dropping fork was, luckily, all nerves without a change in the level of the t. It was probably louder that night but...

@Angela Riffe Wow Angela, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I don't understand how there aren't more warnings about noise levels of power...

Things have been going ok with the t. It's been becoming less and less of a factor, though it is definitely there. It doesn't bother me. I've...

Quick update. The t is still very much there. Same pattern, softer in mornings and usually harsher or more solid in the late afternoon. Today I...

Just had fleeting t episode, only lasted about 5-10 seconds but it immediately made me think of everyone here. Hope you're all doing well!

I scored a two packs (of 2) of paper towels today!!! I almost cried when Cuomo said we're through the worst today, if we're careful.

I've debated sharing this video with my friends here at Tinnitus Talk. You lifted me up at the lowest point of my life and I don't know if I...

Checking in with my friends. Hope everyone ok and socially distancing. Not getting quieter but getting used to it and hoping it will.

This is the truth.

@Orions Pain When I first got tinnitus the hyperacusis was freaking ridiculous. I thought I was screwed for the rest of my life. I couldn't...

2 Years I can't believe it's been two years. I can feel my anxiety ramp up just thinking about my first months on this forum. That was a hard...

1) A cat curled up on my lap. 2) Long rides with no destination. 3) Sunny days in the 50's and 60's (Fahrenheit). 4) Problem-solving when working...

@Orions Pain I haven't seen a post about how you got t. Perhaps you had an ear infection and got t from that. If that's the cause they often...

@MrCrybaby I wonder what would have happened if I asked that girl out in high school? I wonder what would have happened if I applied for that...

@Bill Bauer Bill, if I swallow I hear the crackle too but I don't think it's as bad as when I first got tinnitus. That was some crazy stuff...

@MrCrybaby I just swallowed and listened and my right ear crackled so perhaps it hasn't gone away at all (That was an attempt at a joke). It's...

@MrCrybaby Yes, our ears are changed but it gets better...slowly. I thought my life was over almost two years ago and in hindsight, I wish I...

Thanks Emmalee. It was a good Christmas. I hope you enjoyed yours as well.

It should go away but you have to give it time. The first few months were the worst for the fullness, crackling and general anxiety. I'd guess...

A couple days ago I used a chainsaw for a few minutes and then again 5 minutes the following day. I had earplugs and muffs on and kept it brief...

A quick update on where I am after 21 months. The level of the t isn't getting quieter but wow my ears were so sensitive to sound. As the h...

I'm sorry that happened. I hope it's just a minor bump for you.

@astaff14 I was using a power tool that had a high decibel level and pitch for about 2 1/2 hours. I had ear muffs on but apparently they...

@astaff14 The anniversary date of my tinnitus is late March 2018. I rounded to April 1 to keep it simple. My ears still haven't found their...

First fire of the season today.

I woke up today and things are back at their baseline (thank goodness) I do have the warbly noise underneath the t on the left side. I don't know...

The t on only my left side is screaming today. I drove for about an hour and a half with an earplug inserted wrong (driving a diesel pickup with...

The t on only my left side is screaming today. I think I drove for about an hour and a half with the earplug inserted wrong. Darn it!

I haven't heard the warbly low t for a couple of days now and I also haven't driven my diesel pickups with earplugs in. I wonder if there is a...

I went to dinner last night with a group of friends. I asked that we go to a quiet restaurant but we ended up in a busy place with the Friday...

I'm under two years in and the h definitely spikes when the t spikes. I'm hoping with time the correlation goes away, then the h, then the t.

I read that you hear everything you can even with t, the t is simply on top of the noise.

Major League, Down Periscope, The Nut Job

No movies at the theater for this guy and they used to be my happy place.

Congrats Glynis and thanks for checking in. I'm happy to hear you're doing ok. I wish things were different with your marriage. I'm sorry that...

T settled a little bit today. Now it's the evening, and things are always louder in the evening. I still have a ways to go to get back to where...

@Digital Doc & @Mister Muso Thank you for sharing your stories of things that caused the t to amp up. I can be hard on myself when I make...

@Digital Doc That's a great idea. I feel like I can put a finger on the cause, the leaf blower, but that could be guilt. For what it's worth I...

@emmalee Exactly! I have sympathy for you Emma. You didn't get t from a lifetime of noise, you got t because who knows why. It took me over...

@emmalee I think I'm dealing with a spike too and it bothers me because I think it was the battery leaf blower. I used it too long at a higher...

@Bill Bauer Thanks for the pick me up. I've bookmarked plenty of success stories and posts, I should read through them when I'm getting down....

Not sure if it was using a battery leaf blower last week, listening to the computer speaker too loud yesterday, driving my truck with earplugs...

@Rb86 I'm over 18 months in and it does get better but it takes time. At 4 1/2 months, I was as lost as you are. Don't give up. Give it some...

It's the middle of the night and the house is quiet. All the windows are closed and there's no traffic outside or noise inside. I don't have...

@all to gain No, it wasn't silence but the eee component of the eee plus crickets was gone for a few minutes. Things like that encourage me to...

It's a quiet, rainy day today. I'm sitting indoors with no masking and I hear the ringing but it's not bothering me too much. I remember sitting...

@Mystery Reader I'm getting better at dealing with it but it's not getting quieter. If you go to my thread you can see where I am. I'm sorry...
