Sleeping with sleep headband playing rain sounds when my tinnitus started. In my case, I kept developing new tones and felt it was because my ears...
Hi @FlatDarkEarth. I'm sorry to hear your tinnitus got louder. In my case the loud reactive tinnitus settled after a couple of months. I still...
@Hotspur2931, it sounds like we went through a similar experience! @IntotheBlue03, when I reached my lowest point, I went to a psychiatrist who...
@IntotheBlue03, it is not anymore. It became reactive along with hyperacusis 3 months after first onset. I believe it happened as I was...
Thanks so much Lizzy! I have 2 kids so going to bed was my best part of the day, all snuggled reading... etc. Tinnitus made it rather unpleasant....
Thanks so much for this Lizzy. I'm 1 year 4 months in and life is so much better. During the day even if I hear it (I don't most of the time) I...
Thanks for getting back to me. I'm back to my old level of mild/moderate loudness, habituating gradually ;)
@SashaC, I experienced something similar. I had mild tinnitus for three months (audible in quiet room and no reactiveness) until a loud drilling...
@sophielynch, not sure how you re doing these days but just to say that I've gone through a phase of reactivity to the point that I was scared to...
Not much, trying to limit it to only at night. At the beginning I was also taking it during the day. It's helped a lot. I don't hear it often...
Yes every case is different but it is good to try different options. For example I can completely shut my tinnitus down by putting ear plugs in....
I'm having a similar experience with Clonazepam. Within 3 weeks of taking it my tinnitus went down a lot. Mine started due to stress/anxiety and...
I'm in Mexico right now but have lived in the UK for many years. Am going back in 3 weeks. It should be less than £1000. I've looked it up for...
None of the doctors think I need an MRI. They say my tinnitus is from stress/anxiety. So I'm doing it from my own pocket to see if my brain is...
Hehe you made me laugh. These are all positive signs. Worrying about a yoghurt is much better than focusing on horrible noises. I hope the MRI...
@Vicki3116, I'm not a big fan of medications but I agreed to take a low dose of Klonopin when things got bad for me. I swear that after 2 weeks of...
It won't be the same... your brain will adapt. It takes time. In my 20s I had a chronic headache, it went away after 2 years and got to a mild...
Thanks Vicki. My family are fed up with me. I need to pull myself together. I'm spoiling their time here. I've got 4 year old twins and my mum and...
Vicki, how do you sleep? I've had mild tinnitus for 3 months and it then turned into something torturous that is coming from my brain. I think I...
I have this too. It reacts to other sounds. It started over 3 weeks ago and it comes from my head and it can be quite loud but I can mask it...
Interesting you mentioned Prednisone. I have just come back from an ENT who prescribed me exactly this medicine. Fingers crossed it helps to bring...
Thank you for your positive story and well done! When did you start noticing improvements? I'm 3.5 months in and whilst my tinnitus was...
Thank you for sharing the positive story. Did you experience worsening of your symptoms in the first 4 months at any point? My tinnitus was...
Thank you. It feels like I've become sensitive to sounds. And Pregabalin really helps me sleep so hopefully it didn't cause the new symptoms. And...
Thanks for your reply Billie. I don't have hearing loss. I think what I'm experiencing is a form of mild hyperacusis. I have an ENT appointment...
Hi Glynis. A day or two after the new tone started, I started taking a low dose of Pregabalin to calm down. It's only 25mg and it's been helping...
Hi Kriszti, yes, I can make it less noticeable when putting earplugs in or music on. It's really weird as my old tinnitus was heard most with...
Yes I think that the new tone is reactive. I can't stand being around a fridge or microwave. It's definitely better when I'm in a quieter setting.
Hi everyone, I really need some help. I've had tinnitus for over 3 months. It started very mild. But I kept getting new tones. It's been...
Thanks! I take an antidepressant, which helps in some ways. I definitely read too much on tinnitus so maybe I will try to do that less. The...
Hi and well done to reach this stage in such short time. My tinnitus also started in October, today marks 3 months with actually. I'm still not...
I so much needed to hear this today Emma. 6 weeks into a stress induced new tinnitus. Sleepless nights, shock and fear. Doing craniosacral...
Hi Ultraviolet87, I'm sorry you re feeling this way. I'm only 5 weeks into tinnitus which have been quite dark for me too especially as I'm in...
Fantastic news and enjoy the silence! Thanks for sharing. I've had mine for 4 weeks now. Not much change yet but I'm keeping positive and your...
Thanks guys. I heard Amitriptyline is good. I take a low dose of anti anxiety meds so dont want to add to the cocktail. Melatonin has been helpful...
Hoping to be able to sleep
