Why is that when I feel like it’s improving it goes back to step 1... can’t tell if I’m progressing or not cause of fluctuations.

@kyles yes this is my first time with tinnitus after a loud exposure... it was from a very loud car alarm that played indoor. Although I used to...

@Blossom hey when did yours turn into a hiss??

Now it’s been static/hissy with the really high pitch trying to peep through. Is this good or bad? It’s hard describing the noise.

@Zud it was long, thanks for reading! And thanks for the advice... It’s hard to enjoy watching films because I hear the tinnitus along with...

@Alfred87 No I haven’t... I feel like if I do that I’ll end up eating right before bed... but I’ll try it! Thank you.

@norwaygirl ahh well I’m so glad it went away for you! Hoping mine does the same.

Thank you @Michael Leigh, always nice to hear positive reassurance. I’m clinging on to all these positive stories that I read.

@Freyja95 I agree staying positive is definitely the attitude you need to have or it can really drag you down. I feel up and down about it still....

@Freyja95 thanks for sharing! If mine doesn't go away (10 weeks with tinnitus), I'm hoping I can habituate to it and not concentrate on it. All I...

@Raphael7713 hey, what was the cause of your tinnitus? And when did it go away? And for how long? Do you get it intermittently now?

Really high pitch ring/hiss with some buzzing today.. I don’t mind the hiss but can the ring go away? Ugh I can almost feel it in my head.

My right ear has been twitching/spasming for the past 2 hours... why??

@Digital Doc is your tinnitus gone?

Thank you for all your input! I will definitely try to get out a little more... it’s just the more I stay home, the quieter it gets and then it...

@Vassili hey! So what do you mean by reactivity?? Meaning your tinnitus gets louder after noise or tinnitus gets louder during noise? I have...

@Bill Bauer Oh wow. So you had spikes that stopped after a while? Do you still get them?

What if there was a little fading but also a lot of spikes? Is that still considered fading? Like it’s semi quiet as long as I don’t do anything...

@cpmcmah I’m in a dilemma where I’m not sure if my tinnitus was caused by COVID-19 or loud noise exposure... or the combination of both. I had...

@Falchion hey how are you doing now?? Do you protect your ears when you go out, like with earplugs or anything?
