Mine is 91.1. I don’t know how many points. But it is the worst case my audiologist, who specializes in the worst cases, has seen.
Not in my case. But then I am a really severe case. My tinnitus loudness has been rated a 10 on a 0-10 visual analogue scale. My tinnitus...
Actually, no. My reactive tinnitus is off the roof. I went to see an otologist that specializes in hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus. I don’t know...
I have been on intermittent fasting for years and regular fast for 15 years (when this trend was not fashionable like it is now). If I go on water...
Hey Jackson. Actually, it did not improve. It got worse. The Reactive Tinnitus is unbearable. The Hyperacusis got a bit better, but the Dysacusis...
Yes. It’s very loud. Constantly high hissing that I can even feel physically in my neck and ears. And it gets worse with noises.
It is the same thing with mine. My tinnitus is caused by ototoxic medication, not by an acoustic trauma. My tinnitus is loud all the time, high...
Lucky you. It doesn’t seem that your tinnitus gets worse with sounds. I wish I could say the same. Mine gets louder and competes with my...
Did it get better? I’m also a victim of Neomycin and suffering incredibly.
I never was a church goer so I have no clue what to do with churches. I can’t spend time on the phone when it is painful to talk on the phone. I...
I’m so sorry for what you had to go through with your kitties. Both cats are doing well, even if they are sick. One has hyperthyroid that is...
I have no one. Not one person. I asked the people who call themselves my friends. No one. Their excuse: they work, they live too far, they don’t...
I wish you luck. I also hope it improves because it’s just hell.
What kind of ear drops did you get? I had the Neomycin ones (the worst of all). I wish I had never gone to that doctor who misdiagnosed me with an...
Thanks. I put several requests in to get a therapist, but here in Los Angeles, it can take up to 3 months if not longer to get one. Long waiting...
Thanks. Has it improved for you? I get the reactive tinnitus that gets louder and competes with every sound, but I still have the distortion. The...
My diet is terrible because I can’t get fresh produce and I can’t get groceries and no one will bring me some. I don’t have a car, so I have to...
Did it get better for you? I also am a victim of Neomycin.
What were the medications that you were given? There are a lot of ototoxic meds out there. You mentioned antibiotics. What were they? You also...
I’m here to find comfort, not for people to be nasty. I’m in extreme pain and discomfort. It’s extremely bad. Unbearable. Tinnitus on its own...
Oh please, I hope so. It is so incredibly bad today. My tinnitus is hissing sooo loud, it’s louder than everything in my environment. It’s...
I wish. Right now, it’s so loud that my head hurts. It’s so reactive that nothing will mask the tinnitus. It’s so sickening that I have dry heaves.
Sorry for what’s happening to you.
Today is soooo bad. The hissing in my ears is sooo loud, a 10 out of 10. Reactive tinnitus is getting worse. I have dysacusis. I’m losing hope....
@Joe Cuber, are you now able to listen to music or watch TV?
I am trying to not fight it, but I’m seeing that my life as I knew it is gone. I can’t even listen to music or watch TV. My tinnitus only calms...
Does it mean that there is a chance that the reactivity is going to go away? I’m struggling more with that than hyperacusis.
Are you on any medications? It’s almost two months for me too. How did you get your T?
My tinnitus reacts to running water, fridge, microwave, city traffic, everything that is buzzing or humming. It is also a sort of hyperacusis. My...
I’m not sure it is a sign of relief. It’s just the way it is with me. I have crackling and the tinnitus reacts, but it doesn’t go down. I’m losing...
I feel the same. Laundry is piling up. I don’t have my own washer/dryer so I must go to the basement with other people. I’m avoiding that. I can...
But what does it mean? I was given Methylprednisolone at the same time as the Neomycin and Z-Pak (again for an infection I didn’t have). Is it why...
Then what’s the point in life? If I never habituate and if it keeps giving me headaches and I can’t even take Tylenol or anything because it makes...
I’m thinking the same thing. How can you habituate to something that changes all the time in tone, in volume and that competes with any sound?...
Yep, same thing. Mine is not getting any better. In fact, it seems that reactivity is getting worse. I could do ok with just the tinnitus, but the...
Did you have reactive tinnitus, too? Did you need to wear earplugs? How is it now? What was the cause of yours? What did you do to make it better?...
I feel physically weak. I have no help from nowhere. Lost too much weight, I guess. Still don’t have good sleep.
Did yours make your head buzz like full of microscopic robotic cicadas that make even your eyes feel weird? That’s what I’m experiencing when I am...
Yes. I think you are right. But it is so loud, and so scary and so reactive. I get jealous when other people talk about masking their tinnitus...
Just Ambien for sleep.
I already spoke with a psychiatrist. Not really helpful because they don’t necessarily understand tinnitus.
Thanks. It is reassuring because it’s been almost two months, and my tinnitus is roaring, getting louder with everything. I can’t sleep. I haven’t...
I’m already at my wit’s end a month and a half in. I cry everyday. I don’t see any hope or options. My reactive tinnitus is louder than everything...
I’m new here. Just developed severe reactive Tinnitus 6 weeks ago due to ototoxic meds and I’m at my wit’s end.
