Hi @Stayinghopeful, No I don’t take any meds, because: A lot of people seem to have worse tinnitus coming off the meds I have nose obstruction...

Hi, another update, After last post I spiralled down into the anxiety which made my tinnitus worse. I had new, loud sounds. I went into full...

Hi all, another update. Unfortunately, after 3 days of poor sleep, I wasn't able to control my anxiety. Because of the stress, all my symptoms...

Hi all, quick update. This month I had some good days but also a lot of bad days. After the alarm incident I feared the worse and went back...

Hi all. I'm doing fine :) I typed a whole story but long story short: my spike lasted one month (with ups and downs). Being scared and...

Hi all, My tinnitus became less intrusive the past 3 days. I think now it's at about the level where it was before the alarm incident. Also, I...

Hi all. An update follows. Unfortunately my anxiety kept on ramping up. I don’t know if that’s because my tinnitus is louder or if my tinnitus is...

Yes, I always have filtered earplugs on me. I put them in now whenever I think the noise around me is too much. Even if it’s only for peace of...

Hi all, Since my last post I had some ups and downs, but yesterday it felt as if the spike was finally over. I couldn't hear my tinnitus over...

The spike is reducing and yesterday and today my tinnitus was at its normal level most of the time. I am optimistic but I don’t dare to celebrate...

Yesterday and today have been better.

Hi all. I still have the spike since the alarm incident 5 days ago. I keep on wondering how 1 second of sound can have such an impact. But I...

Thanks a lot for your support! It means a lot. Last night I woke up at 1:30 am and couldn't sleep because the tinnitus made me anxious. I was...

I feel that a success story is definite. Life with tinnitus is an ongoing process, because the ears are damaged and stay vulnerable. Last Monday...

Hi, I’ll be short. Tinnitus is still the same. Most of the time I don’t even think about it. At the moment it’s quite loud but I know that within...

We’ll see. That’s why I said that I’ll check the developments on this in about a year. I am not so easily convinced by a bunch of numbers. If it...

I'm sorry to say, but so far this "treatment" sounds like BS. But maybe I'm wrong. I'll check this topic out again in a year or so to see what...

Loud tinnitus at the moment, but stil: yes! :) The suffering definitely decreased over time. And the enjoyable moments came back. I have no...

Hi, don’t worry, you’ll be fine! Other than protecting your ears there’s nothing you can do. So I would focus on other problems or goals in...

I had COVID-19 in January. My symptoms were the chills and a blocked nose and an itchy cough. It had no effect on my tinnitus. I was fully...

I was never vaccinated and I just recovered from COVID-19. I had mild flu-like symptoms and a blocked nose and a loss of smell. After about 12...

Hi I chose not to vaccinate myself. My reasons are: - I don't take medical interventions unless it's absolutely necessary. - The information...

Hi, Still doing well. Tinnitus is "growing on me". It took me more than 2 years to get used to it. I think "getting used to it" includes things...

I think this question is similar: "If you are in a perfect dark room, do you see nothing?" Our ears can't focus on "no sound"! We are looking...

Hi all, I am still doing well. Most of the days I am not thinking of my tinnitus. The volume is still the same. But at the moment I just don't...

Hi there, @JDP_95, thanks for the reinforcement. It seems to have helped :-) In the past week I had 5 loud tinnitus days and 2 milder days. But...

Hi, quick update. Actually, the day when I wrote my previous update was the last day that I didn’t feel good. Since then I’ve been well. My...

Hi, quick update again. For some reason my mood and ability to cope with my tinnitus keeps changing all the time. The first week of February I...

Hi All, This is another update. I am going to keep this short. As you all know recovery from tinnitus goes with ups and downs. About a month...

Hi all, another update on my tinnitus progress. I am doing well now :) After my last post the tinnitus started to weigh heavy on me and I was...

Hi Dave. We don't know each other but I have read many of your posts. I am sorry to hear about your loss. It seems like she was a great person. I...

Hi HZO, Please be careful! The first time I got tinnitus because of too much loud noise. Like you, my tinnitus became more and more quiet. After...

I wish she (the ENT) had warned me about protecting my ears and avoiding loud music, fireworks. This because the first time my tinnitus got better...

Cause of Tinnitus says unknown, but it's probably noise induced.

Hi good news, The last 2 days my tinnitus is gradually returning back to baseline. Now it even seems quieter than baseline. I was pretty...

If you want it, just try it. There is only one way to find out if it works.

Thanks Bill Bauer for holding up the mirror. Yesterday I had a bad day where I was focussing all day on my tinnitus again. I hope this spike will...

I'm sorry to hear that you have CFS. I hope you can find a cure. And I also hope then you won't start drinking again ;)

I agree. But I have been doing quite well for the past two months or so. I also gained more confidence being in noisy environments, because my...

Yeah, I know. I can't help myself. Sometimes I have absolutely no self control. My T is becoming quite bothersome again. So now I am swithing back...

Hi all, short update, It has been almost 8 months now since my tinnitus returned. I took quite good care of my ears and my T faded to a level...

Hi Michael, thank a lot for the links! The information is very useful. I agree totally.

Short update after 4 months: I waited a while before posting this update, because most of you know, things can turn around on a daily basis. I...
