My situation has not changed at all. It is permanent. Yes, I have complete hearing loss in my right ear with significant tinnitus on that same...

I would think your chances are very low. Getting tinnitus from taking Ibuprofen is simply conjecture. Most tinnitus is caused by noise damage such...

Hi Steve, Good to hear form you. A few days ago I was in the middle of replying to you and I stopped for awhile and when I returned to this site...

Hey Steve, Thanks for sharing the details of your "event." So so similar to my own. I'm beginning to think more and more that it didn't have...

Steve, I am so sorry that this happened to you. What you described is "exactly" what happened to me two years ago. I don't have much time right at...

This discussion validates the notion that everyone who has tinnitus/hyperacusis has their own "fingerprint" of this scourge. In short,...

It really just depends on my environment. I don't like wearing earplugs if at all possible, and I really don't like wearing them when I am trying...

Not sure if this would help with your tinnitus, but I discovered that watching TV is much more tolerable for me if I utilize wearing a set of high...

Well, I guess you could say that. I always carry earplugs with me, but my goal is to be able to go places without using them. Not sure if "used to...

Just thought I would add more info to the thread. My tinnitus is extremely noise reactive. My "event" happened suddenly at night while sleeping....

Everyone's tinnitus is unique to them. Tinnitus is like a fingerprint, no two exactly alike. You and I share a portion of the same symptoms, but...

I too experience my quietest period is upon waking up in the morning. It's still there, but just not nearly as loud. Sometimes I say in bed for...

I agree that tinnitus is as personalized as there are that many sufferers. One unique thing regarding tinnitus is that it is invisible and silent...

Yes, the brain is fascinating. I have found that in certain environments wearing headphones helps my tolerate the significant tinnitus in my head....

Even though my tinnitus is reactive to every outside sound, I don't think I am experiencing any "distortion". My tinnitus is of the static hissing...

I'm not surprised. I just wish I was there, waiting for that moment when they just couldn't endure it any more, and then look at them in the face...

A required training for ENTs should be they have to download one of these tinnitus sound apps on their smart phones that mimic the different...

I'm sorry that you feel hopeless about your tinnitus. I thought I would chime in because I too have a very high-frequency hissing type of tinnitus...

Me too.... I have total hearing loss now in right ear,...but if I could be free of the constant hissing static noise, I can live with the hearing...

Davey, I was in about my 7-8th week of recovery from a terrible motorcycle accident ( 7 broken bones, w/compound fracture of Tibia, etc;)... and...

I guess others have hit on this, but It sounds like you are experiencing a case of (Hyperacusis with a degree of reactive Tinnitus.) Tinnitus is...

I also experienced something very similar to yourself, only my condition seems to be a bit more acute than yourself. I'll just tell you in brief...

Thanks Terry.

Okay, thnx. I was just curious about some clarification on that. Tinnitus is so unique to each individual. It would be amazing if there was some...

When you say "relentlessly at same level" are you meaning the volume of the tinnitus is always the same for those with permanent tinnitus. Or are...

Hey Terry, I just found this thread and it is very encouraging. Part of why I say that is simply seeing the positive results with you and others...

It does get so frustrating with those who don't know Tinnitus. I have some very dear friends who do care a lot about me and I have many times...

Our mental state has so much to do with how we try to live a normal life with Tinnitus. I am always trying to do things that lift my mental state...

I guess you already got them, but ear muff type ear protection works pretty well. I agree that "ear plugs" can be very uncomfortable. I have a set...

I'm so sorry Angel for what you are experiencing. I know how you feel. I'm not saying that just to be nice. "I know,...how you feel." A little...

Yep. The day I gave in to the reality that this is me from here on out...the T ain't gonna get better, so stop thinking Im gonna wake up some day...

Hi dan,... I have SSHL sudden hearing loss with Tinnitus. Over a year ago I suddenly woke up in middle of night with loud popping and crackling...

First of all, sorry to hear about your Tinnitus. Since you have had it for 16 years, you probably have learned how to live with it more or less....

Good words. Mine too is a significant hissing on my right (deaf) side. I am having more and more periods where I realize that it didn't bother me....

I wouldn't get to panicky until all your other illnesses are cleared up. Strep throat is a serious illness that needs to be healed before you can...

Absolutely. I don't think I would call it intense "pain", but for me the sound dishes makes is the worse. Very uncomfortable. It does not have to...

Wow, you have been through the ringer! So sorry you are experiencing all these things, but never the less I enjoyed reading your account. You have...

I go to the YMCA all the time to work out. They don't play music at the Y, but in your case I would think if your wearing foam ear plugs as well...

Hey there Serouj,.... welcome to the forum, but sorry all the same. As far as "tips" to deal with your Tinnitus, you will find a multitude of...

Yea, still suspect that it is a temporary thing caused by some type of ear problem (virus, infection, congestion,..etc). See a ENT.

Your ear "popping" and also the sensitive "itching" you are experiencing leads me to think that you may not have a permanent form of Tinnitus. You...

You stood up too fast. Not uncommon.

Yes, I am a Christian. See my post in the thread titled... "Attention Christians!"

By far and away, the most people wiped out (murdered, starved, etc) in recent history was done by the Chinese cultural revolution and the Russian...

If as you state, your Tinnitus came as result of using headphones, then it only stands to reason that your ears have suffered some trauma. It may...
