You are doing well. Honestly I recognise myself in what you're saying. Mine is always audible, but not super loud. Its just annoying and once I...

I recognize alot of my own story in yours and I'm pretty sure we are in almost the same spot. I also have tinnitus that I (used to) hear all the...

Optimistic nihilism is key.

That issue probably lies mostly with the mental problems and not the tinnitus, which is none of my business to ask about, so I wont. But if its...

I might not be the person you've asked this question to but I still wanna give my thoughts on it. First of all, you're lucky to have a 4 or 5 out...

I'm going skydiving for my next birthday. I've always wanted to do it as well and I'm not gonna let tinnitus stop me. I'll use earplugs for the...

I'm a pretty regular MDMA user. It has no effect on my (noise-induced) tinnitus whatsoever. Only during your "trip" tinnitus won't bother you at...

Turns out after going to about 20 festivals after getting my tinnitus from loud noise exposure, my hearing actually increased. LOL.

Sorry haven't been on here for a while. For me severe is when you can hear it over everything. Even in loud traffic I can hear mine if I think...

I never claimed that he won the game. I just said that he had a victory, just not the one you or he would've preferred. And no I have no idea why...

Not avoiding it, just telling you my own logic. You seem like the person that doesn't want to hear opinions that differ from yours, so I'll stop...

He lost the game, yet he won something in real life. Losing one thing doesn't nullify winning something else. You should at least try to...

If that person happens to get mad over losing videogames alot, but then manages to stay calm for once, that would be a victory for that person....

How is habituation to any extent not a success?

Because the vast majority that fully habituates don't care about this forum. You mostly see posts from people that are doing better but still need...

Sorry I get very enthousiastic about my opinion. Rephrased it now.

I love it that you said this. My tinnitus is very severe aswell. Once a cure or some sort of treatment finally arrives I don't want to look back...

I think the people that (when their ears are well protected) actually get louder tinnitus after visiting a club is a minority. For alot of people...

In my opinion there's nothing bad about going to clubs even after you got tinnitus. Don't live in fear of sound. I have very severe tinnitus from...

Thanks for sharing your amazing story! I rarely visit this website nowadays too. I guess that's a good sign though. I can cope with my tinnitus...

I also have very bad eye floaters and visual snow but they're not related to my tinnitus. I got those from going into psychosis from weed. Since I...

Not to be rude, but have you looked for help other than just for tinnitus? I've seen your posting everywhere around here and its always extremely...

Hi there! Thanks for sharing your story. Mine is very similar. Got noise induced tinnitus from a festival 1,5 years ago and the worst thing I did...

I think this forum exists to offer support to people who need it more than anything else. This forum doesn't really raise awareness to people that...

Hi Benoves, I would love to know how you are doing now! I'm also from the Netherlands (21 years old) but I'll keep it in english so other can read...

Any updates? I also have clicking and popping sounds inside my ears when I swallow, but I've had this my entire life. I got tinnitus from noise...

Hi! Thanks for this response. I just went to a doctor to check on my jaw. I've been told to stop eating anything that requires too much pressure...

Ah okay, thanks for your answer! I just feel skeptical when people that are unsure of how they got tinnitus in the first place habituate. It is...

Thanks! And it's the same for me. I feel like people that haven't experienced it or are experiencing it themselves just have no idea what we are...

I've had tinnitus for 1,5 years now. I can hear it over pretty much anything but I continue living my life as I should. I got mine the morning I...

How loud is your tinnitus right now? You probably don't notice it right now or just minimal, but is it possible to hear it over everyday sounds if...

I'm doing decently well right now with my habituation. I've had tinnitus for 1,5 years, its about a 7 out of 10 loudness with a 10khz pitch. I can...

It got slightly better but not much. But mine had nothing to do with my tinnitus. My visual snow is one of the many leftovers of my psychosis. The...

I don't really know what you're going through, since mine isn't really the same. I have a high pitched sound the entire time, about a 7/10 (9khz...

Okay so last weekend was my 3-day festival. I was so worried during the festival that my tinnitus would become louder since they turned the volume...

Thanks for sharing your story, and I'm really glad for you that you've managed to accept your tinnitus and live with it. Since you've had it for...

Getting some perspective on our lives is effective indeed. There are so many people that have it much worse. I saw someone who compared himself to...

Listening to it, seeing if it changed at all is something I used to do ALOT. It didn't help at all, it just made me feel worse. I had to accept...

As I told someone else on here. In the first few months it can still go away or at least get alot quieter (for some people that even happens years...

That's pretty much the attitude I have towards tinnitus. Even if I have to live with tinnitus, I'm going to build a life for myself. We're all...

Don't worry about it. First of all you only have it for 4 days so it can go down or even go away within the next few months. But even if it...

The first few months are definitely the most difficult. Its the anxiety, the fear of it becoming worse, the fear of having to deal with this the...

I don't feel like my T changed at all. There are times where it seems to be louder or quieter but overall it stays around the same. This week has...

Thanks for sharing your story. For me the big hit was the fact that I never really had any setbacks in life, my life was great. Tinnitus was the...

I now realise you actually responded to my post too, where I told you the same. Oops.

Hi! This is coming from someone who's tinnitus didn't go away: You can still visit these festivals as much as you like. I got my tinnitus from a...

Thanks for your response and kind words. I didn't really expect the thread to become so hostile against eachother, it really is sad to see how...

Thanks for responding. I thought it would be important to share that I still go to festivals, just as much as I did before I had tinnitus (which...

Thanks for the advice. I'm almost 100% sure that within the next 5 years a solution will be found. Most likely through hair cell regeneration....

Hi, Thanks for sharing your story. Mine is very similar. I got tinnitus from loud music about 1,5 years ago. I went to a music festival every...
