I mentioned I believed my (somatic) tinnitus was a combination of mental health largely due to emotional trauma, and potentially tension and...

My tinnitus started to go down after around 3-4 months which is quite often said by people on the forums here based on posts I have read and...

I thought about the forum today and thought I'd update this post. I haven't had one day since my last post where my tinnitus has gotten worse,...

Yes the volume of my tinnitus lowered significantly. If I try try to listen out for it I hear a quiet high pitch, I can tell it's still a tone but...

The volume definitely reduced. When it first started in 2017 it started as a loud tone, I'd say like...a 7/10 loudness. I'd have to have a fan...

If I find myself anxious and thinking about my tinnitus, I have to remind myself that it's perfectly fine to go back to old coping mechanisms even...

I've seen a physiotherapist twice now in the last month. The first time I went I didn't feel much from it and felt I had wasted my money, but I...

I said I'd post if physio helped me and it's been a month, I figured I'd give it time before I said anything about it. Has physio helped? In...

Thanks for sharing, I'm glad this has helped you a lot! My situation is pretty similar to yours and I've been suspecting inflammation more as...

I know what you mean about the anger of other noises and things not helping. It's extremely annoying to get worked up by stuff like that and then...

The fact you can change your tinnitus shows it could be somatic. Have you been able to reduce the sound of your tinnitus through certain...

It's interesting you say that and I would have to investigate why that even happened. When you were sick did you feel like your body was more...

All the research I've done into somatic tinnitus seems to show that if you can make a movement or put pressure on an area that makes your tinnitus...

I think the best thing to do is to try and carry on with your life as normal as possible. Whenever you're in quieter settings where you find...

I wouldn't be able to answer this poll because on the onset of my tinnitus I don't really recall suicidal thoughts. It was extremely depressing...

This is pretty much what I was alluding to (didn't know it existed). I don't know how realistic it is to train GPs about all the facets of...

I feel like GPs should also look more into some of the physical problems so the patient has more options. Besides taking a blood test to rule out...

No, I'm at a computer a lot and it's the same as if I were in another room or outside.

Good on you man, it's great you were able to tough out the negativity and try and make the day better. It's such a hard thing to do and I wish it...

https://mynoise.net/noiseMachines.php Can't recommend this site enough. A huge variety of masking that's customizable and if you donate you can...

I find I need to really focus on something else and let the body ride through it. Honestly love my Nintendo Switch for that and all I really need...

I thought about this now and then and wondered if it actually would be better. People who lost limbs can experience phantom pain and it's weirdly...

Drinking a lot of red bull in the long run is just not going to do you any favors. Get your blood pressure checked, if it's high then you...

I think a fair amount of people here have been frustrated by their visit to an ENT and some will say that a majority of ENT doctors do not know...

I'll look into NAC but I think I read someone say that NAC is not great for somatic. I generally do have tense neck and shoulders. Often times...

Yeah mine is continuous. The times when it was louder I could be in a quiet room and feel like I've been in a nightclub recently. When it's soft...

I feel like that's sort of similar to what I have. I remember a few times when it seemed louder there were certain sounds that brought it out...

I'd listen to tones that masked, like from these two: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/neuromodulationTonesGenerator.php...

I think the most problematic thing about a lower tone is it feels like you feel it (or something's going on and you actually are feeling it) but...

Hey Brett, I don't know how loud your sound is or if it's even tonal but I have a similar situation going on. I noticed I had something similar...

It's not how I read it but I can see why you saw it as you did. I also thought he was a she too lol. I get why you can be angrier at this time...

You were just trying to be positive and supportive, you shouldn't feel bad for that even if it was perceived wrongly. You know your intention so...

It's good to vent and find ways to release your anger and disappointment or whatever. I know it's frustrating to be told the same thing and see...

If you can't really find a cause that might be the trigger in recent memory then I'd say that you really have to try and rule out that it could be...

@Daemon22 I do orchestral arrangements, got to know the Dark Souls 3 composer Yuka Kitamura a little too. I released them all this year on Spotify...

@Daemon22 haha big fan, nice Artorias pic :P I'm known for my Souls and Bloodborne remixes!

You don't have to go to the gym if you don't want to, it's quite easy to work out at home or naturally. Think about Rocky IV! In the montage Rocky...

When I went for an MRI I don't really recall it being that loud and I don't remember wearing ear plugs. If I had to go again I'd certainly bring...

My October spike I actually have no idea, never really gave it much thought. Very possibly stress from work and some people. My recent spike I...

The grenades do make me wince too haha. I can't play PUBG on speakers, it's just incredibly hard to locate shots and hear footsteps properly. At a...

After my initial onset of tinnitus I had a two week spike back in October that was high pitched and annoying, all I really remember was finding it...

It's difficult to say if yours will change due to the unknown nature. Definitely try to narrow that down, the more insight you have to why it came...

Yeah fingers in the ears, you wanna plug the sound quick. Tragus is probably good too, but any other way is just creating a filter which could...

Drive in isn't really a thing here in the UK, would have to drive far and it's not worth it lol. I really don't mind waiting until a movie is...

I actually started smoking again a few weeks ago, started socially and now I smoke a few a day. My T was aggravating me a month ago and I found...

I'm also a musician/composer and struggled a lot lately with how I see my future in that profession. However I don't play live or in environments...

Hey Ligeia, I'm sorry you're going through so much at the moment and finding it hard to cope. When I read your post there were two things that...

Are you used to being in quiet rooms and places now? When I got a spike 2 months ago I was listening to my ringing a lot but also somewhat starved...

Is it possible that you psychologically made exercise a more anxious routine that it exacerbates your feeling towards your tinnitus? Sometimes...

I play a lot of pubg too, probably too much! It's kinda relaxing and takes my mind off things. I'd be down to play. About 2000 hours played.
