That does sound unpleasant. I hope you can find some relief. I do not have a physical injury, but I experienced some audio trauma three or four months ago. I know there are some surgeries available, but they can be quite risky depending on the procedure. My TTTS (or possibly something else)...

Thank you. My TTTS is not currently painful, but it is a very physical sensation that can become painful after a couple of minutes of continued stimulation. It only happens when people talk—I’m fine with music and videos online. I was watching a movie with friends at home, though, and my ears...

Hello everyone, My name is Rhona Coghlan. I am 24 years old and living in Ireland. I have had tinnitus for the past four years and have been experiencing symptoms of Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS) for the last three months. I am trying to widen my social circle for the sake of my mental...

Thank you all for your replies! I had never heard of TTTS before, so it’s good to at least have an idea of what might be happening. I’ve been avoiding loud environments and wearing hearing protection when I can’t. Is it possible to attend social events using musician’s earplugs with TTTS?

Hi everyone, Back again! When I first joined, I was a college student newly diagnosed with tinnitus. Now, I have graduated and started a new job. My tinnitus had been stable and mild for about four years until a few months ago. Due to some bad decisions and unfortunate events, things have...

Hi everyone. For anyone wondering about the low frequency hearing loss, I know it's rare and I haven't got a professional diagnosis but I can't hear anything at certain lower intervals. Like when I'm listening to music, if they change the frequency lower to emphasise certain points of a song...

Since getting tinnitus, I've gone through a whole set of emotions and problems that only seem to get bigger the longer it goes on. The biggest one and the hardest deal with is the sense of self I seem to have lost. I know it may sound dramatic but hear me out. Since getting tinnitus, I haven't...

I'm really sorry, it's so shite to have to deal with, I hope you figure out how to cope.

Thank you all so much. My recent worsening of tinnitus has seriously been impacting me but it's nice to hear of some success stories of people who have managed it. My low frequency hearing loss while a large worry hasn't impacted me much yet, as I can only really not hear lower frequencies...

Hello, I'm a relatively new tinnitus sufferer, having had it for a few weeks now. I am a 3rd year in college and I can safely say that most of my anxiety this year has had less to do with school and more to do with my tinnitus. I got tinnitus a few weeks ago, about 6 weeks into the semester...
