I owe it to you guys to make this post. Never, EVER thought I'd make a Success Stories post here in the beginning. Back then, nothing but total...
It's 100% the hearing aids, when I go to bed at night it's still unbelievably loud, but the hearing aids trick my brain by giving it more sound to...
Outside of the Xanax blip yesterday it's been a good week where i really haven't thought about tinnitus. Still loud but brain tunes it out.
Found a trigger - xanax. I've been taking it to sleep for months, haven't taken for a week and t has been manageable. Took 1 today n worse t
I'll go on record now that I'll get a tattoo of whoever cures my tinnitus, and I hate tattoos.
Hope you're all having a good day, even if your volume goes from the usual 10 to a 9 for a day that's a success.
I love this place but I swear it makes my t worse, gotta heal. Might need to get the hearing aids adjusted. Love you all, stay strong.
Laid in bed last night and couldn't hear my high pitched loud T over the fan even when I tried. My brain is rewiring. Loved it!
Haven't been on here in a month but have covid now, tinnitus seems worse. Might be the vaccine that caused it after all. Hearing aids ftw!
Hearing aids are still effective for me even post vax spike, it turns out. Success story coming eventually.
Happy to report MDMA made no impact on my tinnitus. I can roll again without fear!
Got hearing aids with maskers and thought tinnitus was completely a non issue. They really are / were effective. Had a COVID-19 scare with some...
I got tinnitus 13 days after my initial Pfizer shot in April. I had been having sinus and jaw issues at the same time so my ENT chalked it up to...
Hearing aids still help but sleep is still hard. This is all very annoying, not getting a booster or any other covid vaccine ever.
Ok so 13 days after 2nd Pfizer shot my tinnitus is noticeably louder. Same exact time it started after 1st shot initially. Fuck Pfizer.
Might be time for me to leave you all, I'm in a really good place with these hearing aids. I'll post a success story on my 1 year anny 4/20.
3 days post 2nd Pfizer shot, no difference in tinnitus. No ill effects besides a sore arm, guess I got lucky.
Just got my 2nd Pfizer shot 7 months after the original where i got T 13 days later (probably from TMJ). Will keep you all posted.
If I listen for it I can pick it out still, the audiologist said not to drown it out completely. But it fades out of my awareness more often since...
Hearing aids are so effective that I'm getting my Pfizer vaccine on Thursday. No longer afraid of tinnitus. I wasted months worrying.
Hearing aids are so effective in
Can't say enough good things about my Widex hearing aids. I'm on day 4 now and I can say strongly that they work and I haven't been bothered by...
I'm sitting in a quiet room and tinnitus isn't bothering me. These hearing aids (and I have no hearing loss) are worth their weight in gold
Trying $4,000 hearing aids for the past 3 days. Minimal sound amplification plus white noise, they seem to be helping a lot.
I do, have one made from a TMJ doctor. My jaw has locked up every morning for the last week so I'm definitely still grinding my teeth all night...
Getting to a point where it doesn't bother me, 7 months in. Loud fans are my best friend, sound therapy is real and it works.
It's at a 10 right now and i haven't taken a Xanax so yay? Trying to habituate
Thank you @Michael Leigh, I really appreciate your response and all your other informative posts! Good luck as well.
@Michael Leigh, are you still wearing the white noise generators or was that just a 2 year thing to beat hyperacusis?
"A lot of people with TMJ induced tinnitus hear a pop and a click at the end of their torture" That sounds amazing and gives me something to look...
This is literally me, I'm somewhat glad to read this as I'm struggling to sleep right now, it's so loud. I wish I could stop the clenching during...
Just had the best 2 tinnitus days of my 6 months since onset, and it's coinciding with me stopping my TMJ mouthguard. Strange but good!
Good morning beautiful people. Tinnitus is raging in us all but we're still here. We made it through another day and we will today too.
You are all strong. I recently went from really loud to still loud but not bothersome due to staying occupied. We will get through this!
I really miss when my T was quieter in the morning! It's just constant 24/7 for the last few months.
Starting to really get how much stress impacts my perception of T. I dream of a few weeks away from my wife and kids and work.
Surgery went great, I don't regret getting it. It sucked for a week being able to only breathe through my mouth, but it was worth the ongoing...
Doing a lot better this last week. Trying to get to where tinnitus is just "there" with no emotional reaction.
Seriously fuck tinnitus
My wife makes fun of me for wearing gun range earmuffs when I make things in the blender. I leave them right on the counter 24/7 since I make a...
I've taken Psilocybin mushrooms dozens of times before tinnitus. I'm scared to take them now and make tinnitus worse but I really like how...
Have had this for 2 months, since I blew my nose too hard and caused a new ringing in my right ear. It feels like a muscle quickly contracting, I...
This is literally me, from blowing my nose causing it down to the 'wahwah' sound description. Any update on yours? It's been 2 months for me.
Still haven't had the morning reset in the past few months. And did dry needling yesterday with no improvement in tinnitus. Bah
Diclofenac is one of the only things that helps my tinnitus, I take 50mg once or twice daily for a few months now. Mine is caused by TMJ (they...
Stressful day led to lack of sleep at night led to sky high tinnitus overnight to morning. Morning is always my quietest time until now.
Now I await physical therapy on Thursday for TMJ. Tinnitus has been annoying still but not life destroying anymore.
Navigating the medical system with tinnitus has taught me that you have to be the best possible advocate for yourself that you can, because a lot...
Awaiting the next TMJ doc appointment in a few weeks for next steps on treating this beast. Staying strong in the meantime.
Just had my septoplasty and turbinate reduction. Tinnitus is about a 1/10 - I have heard true silence for the first time in months. It's probably...
I wanted to get my story down in writing before I forget. My tinnitus started Tuesday 4/20/21 and my world has been turned upside down ever since....
Hopefully there's some research on this so they can figure out a way to prevent it and cure it. I'll still treat my TMJ but if that fails then I'm...
My doctor says my recent onset tinnitus is from TMJ, but for the record I got it 13 days after my 1st Pfizer dose. I did not get the second dose...
I've taken diclofenac for TMJ since my tinnitus started, it seems to help me. Definitely doesn't make it worse. But my tinnitus is allegedly from...
Very mad at myself for blowing my nose too hard from this stupid cold, which has made my right ear have a ringing ever since.
Thanks for the info @Lane and @T Toledo OH. I have been having awful sinus issues all year and a CT scan confirmed a deviated septum, with the...
Any update on this? I'm getting a septoplasty and turbinate reduction in a few weeks and am curious how it will impact my tinnitus.
