How bad and debilitating was the H and T was that you had for 9 years if you don’t mind me asking? How long has it been really severe ?
When you say these past few years have been different, do you mean like just "learning to deal with it" better? Your tinnitus is severe all the...
My Gawdd…I was just thinking about way back when my tinnitus use to be just mild and comparing it to now, I have seen so much crazy shit.
Yeah, I would be pissed too. I agree, I think the drug would help better if we could inject it in the cochlea. I want to believe we might have...
This is what I try to tell myself too, even though it can be pretty tough at times.
This is good advice. Thank you. Yeah, I try to find the good in the small things too. This might sound a little off topic but i recently have...
It’s the same with me most of the time. I hear the ringing all the time, but I just don’t emotionally react to it as much anymore. The good days...
What would you consider to be habituation?
You look good! I’m glad to see how you look. I like seeing all the Tinnitus Talk members.
@ErikaS, I’m not saying I don’t believe you have reactive tinnitus cause I do , I just never experienced hissing reactive T, only tonal...
@ErikaS, Ill admit, I got confused because I hear my reactive tinnitus everywhere, I hear it clearly in stores too so I imagined if I went to even...
I just try to tell myself “I’m stronger than my tinnitus, I’m more powerful than my tinnitus.” No matter how intrusive or reactive it is.
Puzzles are awesome! I love them. They help me as well.
How the motherfucking hell can most people abuse the ever living fuck out of their ears and not end up with H or reactive tinnitus?
So basically, even when you hear the tinnitus reacting to noise, it doesn’t really bother you at all? If so, then that’s great. I just don’t hear...
That is beautiful. I got into adult coloring books and jigsaw puzzles lately. Sometimes I also draw.
Thank you so much for your response ZFire :) I really appreciate it. Yeah I was thinking of also buying one of those miniature doll house kits...
Hey, I apologize since my response is late because I haven’t been on here much. I hope you had an awesome Halloween by the way. I haven’t had time...
I am very happy that you got the job. Congratulations! I read your other posts so that’s how I know. When you say that tinnitus barely affected...
The older I get the more I noticed how insanely fucked up and surreal everything is and I can see through people’s bs
Sometimes I still feel jealous of people that don’t suffer from intrusive unmaskable reactive tinnitus. Yesterday, online, I read people with...
You are such a good person George. You try helping others on here whether their tinnitus is severe, moderate or mild. We need more really good...
Mild Tinnitus is definitely a breeze lol. Yea severe T is a different animal entirely. I know the feeling.
I am sorry. I was unemployed for 2 years before, back when my tinnitus was mild. It was hard and I got jealous and depressed because all my...
The T is being extra naughty tonight it seems, time to put in time out and tell it to go to bed!
Yeah I prefer mornings better too.
What are your diabetic episodes like? Do you believe diabetes can be part of what causes severe intrusive reactive tinnitus?
You seem like you have many disabling ailments and I’m very sorry :( We (Tinnitus Talk) appreciate reading your knowledge. You seem like a great...
Do you have reactive tinnitus everyday? How often do you have reactive tinnitus? I have it every day and I’m asking you this because I know some...
Do you ever feel like your reactive tinnitus interferes with your hearing, kind of? For example, you hear someone say “hey!” You hear their voice...
Oh that makes sense, but how do watch TV with sound on with reactive tinnitus? I find it’s hard to concentrate with the tinnitus competing with...
I just wanted to say, I get very tired of listening around my tinnitus. My tinnitus is in my face an awful a lot, like I can’t ignore it most of...
Habituation can actually happen with intrusive reactive tinnitus? Well I mean I hope so I suppose, or at least til medicine that can fix this...
Does your tinnitus not react to music? I know some people’s tinnitus only react to certain sounds and I think I recall reading somewhere that you...
George, I read some of your posts. I need some advice. Have you ever suffered from truly debilitating tinnitus? Like reactive tinnitus that can’t...
How long have you had this reactive tinnitus?
I have one more question if you don’t mind me asking. What quiet activities do you do when you’re spiking so bad that you can’t listen to...
I understand. I hope and pray there are treatments for us in the future. If you think reactive tinnitus isn't hyperacusis, then what could it...

I work as a bagger at a grocery store. It's been very very stressful because of severe reactive tinnitus. Where we collect all the carts in the...
This really sucks :(
Me too. It's really been hell. I don't know how people with unmaskable tinnitus cope sometimes. It wouldn't bother me one bit if I could mask it.
This is really sad :( We all care about you very much Travis. :(
To tell you the truth, I don't know... I don't think the reactivity has improved much at all but then again, I look back at all the things I...
So I guess I really do have hyperacusis if I have unmaskable reactive tinnitus :( It does make sense since the ringing that competes with everyday...
You’ve been through a lot. I hope you find that something that helps you tremendously with your ear pain and hopefully I’ll find my something too...
So you still have distortions? Or do you consider distortions part of hyperacusis?
I can’t imagine ever having kids now that I have severe reactive tinnitus and have had severe unmaskable tinnitus for almost 3 years now. I wanted...
Well hearing that gives me a tiny bit of hope but is it possible for reactivity to improve after 3 years? And not caring about it reacting as...

I’m back guys and yet I still have constant reactive unmaskable tinnitus almost 3 years later...
I would LOVE to be in that club again. That was heaven! Nowadays i dont look for it to hear it in stores or other public places unfortunately.
I am still trying to figure out why other people like my coworker's brains dont turn up ringing when around sound.
Hey, sorry for the late reply. To answer your questions. Well, I enjoy games and art. I try to play some mobile games on my phone and iPad and...
The people who can mask are super lucky! I wouldn’t be on here anymore by now if I could mask it. Scientists need to figure out why some have...
Yea it’s bullshit that reactive tinnitus HAS to exist. Why can’t tinnitus just just be little ringing in the ear that’s easily masked for...
So you don’t hear your tinnitus over the fans anymore?
So the games you listed besides Slay the Spire, are there other games that might be playable without sound on? Those all seem like good choices...
High pitch chime sound tracks usually give me some relief as well. If I'm also sitting outside, it helps me enjoy being outside too because it...
