Separate names with a comma.
Yup, me. Learned to accept this is the way it is, unfortunately. At least it always settles down very quickly.
Sometimes it still feels like stuff is moving in .y ear and it's freaky
Tired of reactive/fluctuating tinnitus, wet ears and my ears popping and vibrating when I yawn or burp
Predicted the Euro win correctly (before it even started lol)
Update: only side effect is a very sore arm. No change in T at all.
Had my first Moderna shot. Not going to worry about it - whatever happens, happens.
Yeah, I know, should've said one of few or the most common but I was in a bit of a hurry :angelic: but my point stands that it doesn't tell us...
Wish doctors would take me seriously and treat my spine, neck and jaw properly
My audiograms are perfect. Straight up perfect. I have at most a -5 dB dip. My speech in noise test came back at 100%. Yet I have several loud...
T gets worse from showers but not a restaurant and hours around friends. Makes me think it isn't noise reactive.
I'm most definitely trying to. Mine is still reactive/fluctuates big time throughout the day, but it always settles quickly so. As long as I avoid...
Encountered so many cars blasting music today. How do these people not have tinnitus and I do? Unfair lol
I'm not sure I'm necessarily suicidal these days. I have a lot of things to keep my mind occupied and it helps, but I'm about to lose my job and...
Here's me sometime in 1998 (I think). I believe this was taken on holiday in Germany :LOL: [ATTACH]
Picked up inline skating. Probably not gonna do anything for my T but getting exercise is nice.
Same. Always had earplugs in as well, not a single sound at all. But a string of unfortunate accidents all within 2 weeks and I'm in a multi tonal...
You don't have to go if you don't want to. But if you do, ask your friends to accommodate. That's what my friends have been doing. Any decent and...
Hey Tara - I just want to give some words of encouragement. It's totally okay to be upset and worried and mad and whatever else you are feeling...
Mine changes with the second sometimes. What it reacts to is never ALWAYS the same thing. Sometimes the shower spikes it, sometimes it doesn't,...
I've had fluctuating tinnitus for 1.5 years so I'm not entirely sold on that
Me too man, sucks big time
Honestly put me to sleep until these treatments are out lol
I'm definitely less bothered these days but I'd still kill for something that keeps my T from fluctuating by the hour
I too believe that if my tinnitus were completely stable - with the exception of one tone - it would be 100% manageable. What's strange is that I...
Prior to chronic T, I never got fleeting tinnitus. Now, I regularly get fleeting tinnitus. Genuinely the most bs mechanism to exist.
Not everyone is in the know about medical research. It's generally only us who spend a lot of time on this forum. That said, I think many of us...
Not in a tinnitus specific treatment, but off-label medications that may bring relief, yes.
At this point I'd settle for something that stops my T from changing every minute
It may or it may not. It has no effect on mine.
The sad odds of getting T bad enough you end up a regular on a support forum... out of all millions of people with tinnitus
I have VSS too and reactive tinnitus. I have a lot of issues too and still don't know the exact cause. But this hope is the only thing getting me...
Many people have had their tinnitus actually go away. Does depend on the cause, but even then stranger things have happened. Just think people who...
It's only forever because science hasn't caught up yet - and right now it's catching up in a way that may at least offer significant relief
Tinnitus is NOT helpful when you're overstimulated and about to have a breakdown let me tell ya
I wouldn't say my T got better, and I'm definitely not happy. But I can joke and laugh like before so that's nice
After a year with pretty bad T, I'm starting to have moments I'm like the old me again. Feels good. T still sucks royally tho
Tfw visual snow makes it hard to look at snow
If only my T wasn't a multi tonal reactive hell
If this is true I could largely go back to a semi normal life (while taking good care of my hearing of course). My baseline is annoying but not...
I do listen to music again now. If I don't continuously listen to it, it's still quite enjoyable. Nowhere near the same feeling but better than...
Pretty sure alcohol quietens my T just a little. Happy new year, T Talk! May this year be full of hope for us.
This might lead to just that. To date there is no way to measure tinnitus objectively. Anything that might help us is based on anecdotal reports....
@Diesel @Drachen For myself I know I had no tinnitus that I was ever able to detect prior to this year. I can't really explain how or why, but I...
Some people have tinnitus so minor they don't realise it's tinnitus. Some have had it so long they think the noise IS silence. That said, for the...
Every new day is a day closer to a working treatment. It's tough, but I'm holding on.
Big hugs to everyone. It's my first Christmas with tinnitus. At the start of the year, when my tinnitus began, I couldn't even imagine myself...
Seems like showers hardly spike my T now. Waiting for music to stop spiking it as well.
Waiting for that shiny synapse treatment... please.
My audiogram detected no significant loss whatsoever. Between 250 Hz and 8000 Hz, it's all between -5 dB and +5 dB. Yet I have several...
I haven't had an extended audiogram, but I've tried putting on headphones and playing sounds and I can still hear 16 kHz when my laptop volume is...
I miss music being like air to me and I hope I can get back to that place one day.
Honestly though this would actually make a lot of sense in my case lol. I had whiplash and shortly after a noise incident (100 dB alarm for 2-3...
Still hoping it will also work for reactive tinnitus. Seriously, if this helps my tinnitus from fluctuating as wildly throughout the day, I'll be...
Yeah, I don't get it either. Sure, with mild tinnitus I would be willing to do more than I am now, but no gigs, loud bars etc for sure. I think us...
It's a musician talking about his tinnitus that got me wearing earplugs and lower my headphone volume and usage (I'd take regular breaks). It's...
My ENT didn't listen to any of other symptoms, told me I should be happy about my perfect standard heating test and told me that I "must have been...
I had a little TTTS that cleared up months ago (and and was very on and off when it was present). Strangely enough this was in my better and less...
My tinnitus competes and spikes to random noise, both soft and loud (and randomly because the same sound doesn't always cause it to get louder)...
Still don't get how one's tinnitus can fluctuate so bad throughout a day.
My tinnitus has been incredibly unstable since the start. It can be anywhere from hardly detectable (rare) to super loud (also rare). Usually it's...
