Separate names with a comma.
I feel your pain. I was just driving and my ear was upset at the sound of the wheels on the road. So I crinkled an empty gummy wrapper that was in...
White noise at low volume with phone helps while watching TV. Also crinkling a Welch's fruit gummy bag helps via 'tinnitus inhibition'....
That is really really cool! Thank you for posting your reply. Made my day!
@Tom Cnyc What is this $100 LED you bought? I'm very curious to try something like this. I don't believe all treatments for tinnitus are BS or...
You can try, but the world doesn't care. 'God is laughing' - old Greek saying.
Your avatar is spiking mine now.
Aren't those the worst?? And you don't know until you flush. Arggggh!!!
@coffee-girl An old friend of mine once had a dog he named Tetanus. Now if someone will just name their pet Tinnitus...
It has quieted down because, I totally ignore it now. Even though it continues to remind me it's there. It sounds like that sinewy sound of a TV...
1. Growling with a Halloween mask on. Ouch! 2. Hitting a heavy plate on another one. 3. Going to a baby shower where there was live jazz piano,...
I was exposed to 2 seconds of air horn this year. Spikes can seem permanent, but most are not. Some days are better than others. You get used to...
1. Mowing the lawn 35 years ago with a Walkman. I noticed ringing ears at bedtime for a few months and immediately stopped listening to the...
I'm guessing that a constant tea kettle like noise in my bad ear is not a mild condition? I've had t a few times before this - once in high...
Ok, thanks for the help, I appreciate it. I didn't realize t could flip around like that. I have been listening to music but only at absurdly low...
Is it hyperacusis or tinnitus when sound activates your tinnitus? As of this week my tinnitus is so soft I can barely hear it in a quiet room....
Tinnitus. Can't live with it, can't live...without it.
All musicians have it. Most don't want to admit they damaged their own ears. Musicians that wore ear plugs all the time except the day that the...
Sorry to hear that, Bill. I too was accosted by unwanted noise tonight and I sympathize.
I think I'm in for it now. I also have other health issues which are super fun and similarly bogus like tinnitus. Oh yay. Life was good.
As I recall, I've had T two, three or more times before this current time for me. They all faded completely and silence returned, but now I'm...
Nearly everyone I've mentioned my T to didn't notice theirs so much until I did...which made me feel guilty of reminding them. Sometimes...
I've worn ear plugs, napkins, cigarette butts and anything else that will fit religiously for 15 years, at shows, using power tools etc. I...
Gee, I'm sorry you're having a tough time. Have you tried cognitive behavioral therapy where you tell yourself it's non-threatening and to not...
I've not had suicidal thoughts and have thought about what could be worse than T and it seems to always be death. The glass is half full for me...
The ear plugs are white cylinder foam 25dB, the ear muffs are basic 25dB. For some reason the frequency of the vacuum cuts through these anyway. I...
My tinnitus seems to be getting worse. It seems to be more pervasive. If I talk about it with others nobody has much to say except 'isnt't there...
I've had it! No more vacuums!!! They are horrible, even while wearing huge ridiculous ear muffs AND ear plugs - they spike the tinnitus every time.
I have some construction ear muffs laying around so I took Bill's advice and brought those for our next road trip. They are blue and look like...
Very interesting. I've always wondered about cost of living in the country. If I was living there now I'd take the job of maintaining hand driers...
With you there bud. I'm totally going to leave the city after all the hellacious loud noises. It might take awhile. Off topic: what do all the...
Maybe it was an Xelerator. Who knows. I didn't want to get close to the thing to look. It was as loud as a bus or truck letting off air on it's...
Bill, do you recommend earmuffs which amplify the ambient noise or have you tried those?
It must have been Dyson. It sounded like a hurricane ripping the roof off.
Oi! I've had it with rest area bathroom hand driers. Anyone else feel this way? Walked into a bathroom recently at a rest stop and was hit with...
@Bill Bauer: Yes, I heard silence until June of this year. Occasionally I would hear T camping, but after the truck horn blast in June I had T...
Andy, when I was your age I used to blast my ears with a Walkman. I do recall having ringing and buzzing at the time, knew why, and continued...
Facebook is where happy, anxious, sad, motivated, lazy and angry people are, just like here. But FB is really missing out. Nobody talks about...
For god's sake people, wear ear protection! Peace.
You know, Howard wasn't wearing ear muffs while busting up all that concrete before Dominique arrived...I'm sure Ayn would give the finger to this...
I'm trying to cope anyway I can. My post is sarcastic and a warning just like Rand's quote. We live in a world filled with artificial noises we...
What? You can't hear what I'm saying? You must have tinnitus. You need this one pill... Did you: Go see a block buster film with explosions and...
Stuff it, T.
I was using a table saw, circular saw and drills yesterday. I had ear plugs and ear muffs on as well. I could barely hear my tinnitus while...
1. Eaten by alligator. 2. Falling off cliff taking selfie. 3. Attacked by grizzly bear. 4. Run over by bus. 5. Pushed onto subway tracks. 6....
@glynis I think you are correct, ear buds/phones are no good for masking! Even just wearing them for less than 15 minutes as I did today. My T is...
Oh yes @glynis, believe me I'm a low-volume-masker for sure. I've noticed in order to mask while driving I turn up the rain to its loudest...
I am not affiliated with the artists or products I'm about to plug, but hey. If you are the artist or company reading this you can make an...
Bill: your link is amazing. Thanks for posting your reply. Very helpful information. I feel like it my T will fade because after the first 3...
Yes I'm on steroids.
Haha. Thanks. If I don't have permanent damage, what good is this forum for anyway!? Seriously though. Why are air horns allowed? Oh yeah. To...
I was sitting in traffic a month ago when this truck blew its air horn for 1 second. It was louder than anything I've ever heard. The truck was 10...
