Looks like I spoke too soon, last few days my tinnitus has rebounded with vengeance (loud and obnoxious) :cry:
I've been lucky in that I haven't needed to use the noise masking feature. My hearing aids just boost certain high frequencies in my left ear,...
I think it's great you're giving TRT a try. My audiologist friend set me up with demo hearing aids for noise therapy, and this coincided with when...
No echo, but my left ear can range from crickets chirping to sounds of whooshing air (like from a vent). Thankfully it's not loud/annoying to the...
Similar to you, I developed tones and frequencies that change in both my ears during the summer. Lately it's gotten much better to the point...
New Year's Update: Time has gotten me through the initial on-set of anxiety and depression. In the past couple of weeks, my tinnitus, which...
Yes, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I actually got tinnitus a month before you, but the origin is unknown (stress? substances?) I think my...
Glad to hear there is progress, even if it's minor. Keep up the good fight! Have you tried CBT at all? Oto app is an affordable alternative.
Thanks for sharing @Aubeebee. If you don't take Fluoxetine, do the symptoms return?
Quick update: Slowly, but surely, things are improving :) A key part of recovery is reducing stress. I've finally moved back to my family's place...
Hey Billie, really appreciate your positivity! Fellow Canadian here, also in the IT field! (but haven't been able to work because I haven't gotten...
I'm around 1.5 months in, and there's been ups and downs. But I truly believe we can get better if we focus on the right things like a health...
@mfgrn, have you tried getting a TMJ massage? It may be helpful. It seems to have helped me slightly when I developed ear fullness during the...
Thank you for sharing these stories @Samy! I hope you become a success story as well, alongside myself and others on this forum :)
@MaxRabbit, I just wanted to show my support as well. Similar to yourself I started experiencing tinnitus this year from unknown causes (maybe...
Thank you for the kind wishes! So if I understand correctly, you took Alprazolam to help sleep, but eventually you got off of it and you were...
I've had my tinnitus for a little longer than a month. As for the cause, it's currently unknown. I don't think it's acoustic trauma and/or hearing...
Hi Albapv, I saw in the positivity thread you no longer need to sleep with a masker. Could you share your journey/progression? I am new to T, and...
This thread definitely needs a bump. I am new to tinnitus, and I also caught COVID-19 last week. I am happy to report the COVID-19 is gone, the...
@SaraK18, while I can't offer any solutions as I am a new tinnitus sufferer, I just want to share that I came across one of your messages to...
@HeavyMantra, these are good points. My audiology tests did come back normal, but drops off at the 16 kHz - 18 kHz range. So I wonder if that...
I just want to add a word of caution to those who are considering psychedelic use to address tinnitus. Psychedelics can have a negative/dangerous...

@Leila, since I'm still going through my doctor visits and trying things, I'm sure I'll undoubtedly encounter those things. Recent days it's been...
I have read some articles that say Ketamine/MDMA/Psilocybin may have some positive effects on tinnitus. Have you tried any of these?
Similar to what many have said here, Psilocybin is generally non-addictive. The journey on a full dose is not an easy ride to get through, so many...
Thank you for the kind and helpful words @Leila. During the day, I mostly don't notice it - I do feel my left ear is a bit less acute and I get a...
@GeorgeLG, thank you for sharing the beautiful post above. It's very inspiring, and gives me hope. I just developed tinnitus recently, and it's...
@blamingeverything - I'm getting ~5 hours of broken sleep as this is all very new. I'm going to give Kava Kava and CBN a try as well. The doctor...
Thanks for the tips and welcome @blamingeverything - I have some follow-up questions - When you say earplugs don't affect your tinnitus, do you...
Not sure if there's a correlation, but my tinnitus came around 1-2 months after I had developed mild light sensitivity and starbursts. I do think...
Really sorry to hear what you're going through - it must be very frustrating. From what I've heard, finding a cause can be very difficult. But...
