@aot How did you manage to find a psychiatrist who also has tinnitus?

Yes pls.

Struggling.

I sure hope so.

I went for a walk outside today in a very hilly area. This is the second day in a row that this has happened but my hissing sound disappears and...

Hi Michael, How loud would a sound have to be to pass through ear plugs and cause a spike? This is my worst fear (assuming I’m able to be in the...

Getting harder and harder to hang in there every day. What is the point of being here if I am miserable daily. What am I living for? Like there is...

Fred, I am so sorry your daughter and family is having to deal with this. It honestly makes me sick to my stomach how greedy the insurance/medical...

100% agree. And all the guys that I do know that have tinnitus have a very very mild case of it so it will be hard to get past that “overreacting...

I don’t think anyone here actually wants to die. We just don’t want to live like this. If you can even call this living.

I’m 26 years old. So not that much time :( At the moment my left ear is driving me crazy. It’s so hard to describe the sensation that I’m feeling....

Hi Jazzer, Thank you for your kind words. I am struggling greatly because all of the people in know in real life who have tinnitus seem like...

Hello. If you’re finding relief only 4 days in, you’re doing way better than I’d say most people on this website. My advise, get away from this...

I wouldn’t say mine is so much loud as it is uncomfortable. I have a base of a nonstop hissing, but then on top of that will have these electrical...

I 100% agree. I wouldn’t say mine is severe but it’s not mild by any means so it’s only going to get worse from here on out. I can hear it at all...

But seriously, what is the point of continuing to live if nothing brings you happiness anymore. I can’t travel because air planes will probably...

What’s the point of living with this? I can’t do anything I enjoy anymore. I am literally afraid of sound which is like being afraid of rain....

If I was one of those people who got it mildly for a few hours/days after concerts/clubs... hell yeah my hypochondriac ass would have ordered ear...

I have the same problem too. My ears constantly build up pressure and when I swallow I get a tiny bit of relief and it happens all over again....

10/10 do not recommend watching Moonlight Sonata on HBO when you’re feeling sad. Not sure why I’m doing this to myself right now but 10 min into...

I don’t seem to get spikes from malls. Lately I’ve been going to the mall or random stores just to occupy myself so I don’t die of boredom. I did...

All I wanted in this life was a cozy home, a nice husband, and kids of my own. I don’t have anyone in this world except my mom and my dad so once...

What does your tinnitus sound like? I also think I have a bit of hyperacusis but at the same time I don’t know if it’s actual hyperacusis or...

I don’t know who to believe or what is over reacting and what isn’t and it’s literally driving me insane. I’m tired of being a hermit at home,...

So your tinnitus hasn’t gotten worse in the last 8-9 years other than the hyperacusis?

Exhibit A [ATTACH]

But 4 years later you’re still on here?

Neither of the ENTs I saw mentioned anything about protecting my hearing nor what is actually damaging. Yes, concerts and clubs are somewhat...

This is so encouraging to read! May I ask what kind of tinnitus she had though? Some people mention just a mild ringing at bed time. Others even...

There was this tweet going around a few days ago, thought I’d share! I think some smart people DO protect their hearing, we just don’t notice...

Had a thought today. Tinnitus is basically another form of natural selection in a way. Those with “weak” ears and severe tinnitus who develop...

I think ENTs just say this to not freak you out so they don’t have to deal with anxious patients in their office tbh... The trend seems to be...

Do you know what led to it getting worse?

Having another rough day today. This electrical current/cicada sound is nearly impossible to max. Was just thinking about how a year or so ago, a...

How is it possible to train the brain to ignore this mess if it’s an issue with the brain in the first place?

I want to move back in with my parents. Being home helps me so much and my mom is always there to calm me down. But I don’t want to keep hurting...

I don’t mean to diminish your problems but I wish mine had waited until my late 40’s I’m so sorry you are struggling as well though, none of us...

I don’t know how I’m supposed to get over it when the sounds change every day and are impossible to mask.

No medication. I’ve literally been at home this entire weekend other than a quick trip to the beach on Saturday. I’ve just been in bed watching...

Mine has never lasted longer than a few seconds. Now my right ear feels full and heavy. This can’t be good.

HOLY CRAP IT JUST GOT LOUDER OMG WHY RIGHT AFTER I TYPED THAT I GOT FLEETING T AND THE SOUND STUCK IN MY RIGHT EAR AND HASNT GONE AWAY I HAVEN’T...

I just turned 26. Loudness depends on the day. Usually it’s a very loud hiss/cricket sound that I hear over my TV with a fan. Sometimes when I’m...

Angry about the lack of awareness about hearing protection, and ear plugs at concerts. Angry that others received a warning about it and were...

TV is usually my go to for when I have a meltdown. I wrap myself up in a blanket and try to not focus on anything except the shows. I’ve started...

I have no issues sleeping because I’m usually so exhausted from crying before bed, I fall asleep fairly quick. Staying asleep is a different story...

Hi Krizsti, love the way your name is spelled. I can identify with everything you said. Especially snapping at family. My mom follows up with me...

The thing that confuses me the most was the onset of mine. I’ve never heard any sort of ringing. I did go to a concert 4 days before my tinnitus...

Hoping I get spared and killed at some point before I do it myself. With my luck, I’ll live to be 105.

I don’t want to hang out with any of my girlfriends because all I’m going to hear is about their dating lives, careers, fun things they have...
