Prolonged use of headphones or earphones is a very common cause of tinnitus when listening at high volume. At this point, it is probably better...

Softened with baby oil for 3 - 4 nights and then flushed out with water. Trust me, you don’t want to do that. I think if you don’t have...

Removing earwax was what turned my life upside down as it worsened my existing tinnitus. I strongly suggest you do not try to do it if the earwax...

The kind of ups and downs remains the same but I would say the highest volume of my tinnitus during onset was around 8-9 out of 10. Now it’s a...

I have learned to manage my expectations properly with this condition after 3 years. Many times when you think things are improving, the next...

Oh, the hissing started almost immediately after onset. I think what happens is when the ringing is bad, all different kinds of tinnitus fire at...

I would still be careful especially this early on to be on the safe side, your ears are hurt and they do need time to heal.

For me I always have my earplugs with me whenever I go out. I did have a few times when not wearing earplugs that it caused some sort of spike...

Hi John, good luck with your treatment! Did they let you pick up the device right after the first assessment appointment?

Really? That’s great news. Did you hear about this from Neuromod themselves?

They are allowing people to pick up the devices in less than a week now? Wow that’s good news for us international travelers. I wonder if...

My appointment is also on April 2nd! Just booked my flight to Dublin...

I asked them this same question when I replied to their appointment confirmation email. They told me it’s 2-4 weeks.

Having a proper mindset to deal with this beast is usually half the battle. I am happy for you that you seem to be dealing with this condition...

Just a quick update on my condition... It's now been 1 year and 9 months since I first experienced this life changing tinnitus. Lately I have...

Welcome to the forum AfroSnowman! You are only 4 months in with this condition and there is a lot of time for it to improve. From my experience...

Try to use earplugs when operating power equipment like a lawn mower. You don't want to damage your ears and spoil the recovery process.

Hi Forsberg, welcome to the forum! From my own experience, Tinnitus can take time to develop. In my own case, I was exposed to loud music for 2...

I think that's mostly people speculating. I too follow that thread closely and I do feel the general tone is that it may screen out certain types...

Pete, if that's your choice in the end, I am with you too. Only Tinnitus sufferers knows what other sufferers are going through so I really do...

Hi Caroline, Welcome to the forum! Thank you for taking the time to share your story with us. I believe collectively we are all stronger if we...

Hi Pete, We are all here for you! I have been away vacationing and taking some time off so I haven't been very active in the forum lately but I...

Hi Blodorn, My tinnitus also changes in volume on a day by day basis. It's like a cycle where it starts loud for a day or two, moderate for a...

I think in time you will recover to a point where you can use the lawnmower (with ear plugs) and dine in a loud restaurant. But at this time,...

You’re post in itself is inspiring! I really admire your attitude in dealing with this and you taking the time to share your journey with us!...

No I don’t think I have. But mine did fade a little. Although not as much as I would have liked.

I was in the same boat. I have had tinnitus for as long as I remember but it was the very mild kind where I can just ignore it 98% of the time....

Hi Matea, How long have you been suffering from Tinnitus?

Hi Marcus, welcome to the forum! My tinnitus was life threatening when I first got it. Not even the shower can mask it. After 8 months or so, my...

But one thing I try to avoid is earbuds. I haven’t used earbuds or headphones for a year and a half except for a few odd times. How’s your T now...
