Yeah, it is possible that previous headphone use caused my tinnitus and stress aggravated it. Although I find it difficult to understand why we don’t have a huge proportion of young people with tinnitus? Considering such a large number of younger adults and kids using headphones for gaming and...

Yeah, I had been reading on my phone. I will get some physical copies printed! I am not sure what my ENT has planned for my follow up appointment but will see how that goes and continue with the sound enrichment just now :)

I can see from your posts the importance of positive thinking. I try to stay positive but find it difficult, hopefully this is something I can work on and improve using the strategies you recommended. Sometimes I will be keeping busy and not think much about tinnitus but then when I'm at home...

It's quite difficult to know. I have always been careful with headphone use and exposure to loud noise in general so I can't say for sure but it is possible. I will give the sound enrichment a try throughout the night and have some low volume noise in the background throughout the day :)...

That's interesting and may be the cause of my tinnitus. I have previously (prior to onset) noticed very mild tinnitus a few times in my life when in a completely silent environment. For example during Christmas 2020 my mum and I were in the living room and she said it was completely silent...

Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply, I will check out those links you sent. With regards to headset use, this has been another thing which confuses me. During the period of November to January, due to demanding exam deadlines, I did not have the time to play games so my headphone use was very...

Hi, I have contemplated posting on this forum for a while and finally decided to do it. I will try to describe my situation as briefly as possible; any advice is appreciated :) At the end of January this year (2021) I went to bed and noticed I had high pitched ringing/hissing in my head. I was...
