Separate names with a comma.
I think it’s fairly common for it to seem worse when hungover.
Hey there, Saw your post and although I don’t really experience what you do I hope you’re doing okay, notice we are both in the same part of the...
When I wake up, I seem to have a few seconds where I can’t quite detect my tinnitus even though I’m looking for it, then suddenly it kicks in......
Anyone in here hyped for the Resident Evil 4 remake that’s dropping in a couple of weeks?
My tinnitus worsened in May 2022. After it had already worsened, I was on Amoxicillin for pneumonia in June 2022, and for a nasty gum infection...
In some respects yes, in others no. The constant eeeee in my left ear has gone down a bit, so that’s good. Unfortunately, I have developed this...
It's okay I guess, very much in the Tank Control style of the older games, just a bit forgettable. Still worth playing though. Resident Evil 6...
No love (or even a ranking) for Resident Evil 0?
It has backed off in severity a little, but it's not gone back to where it was before, which is quite disheartening. However, I'm still hopeful...
Ah sorry, yes. Both noise induced tinnitus that I encountered in 2014 and again in 2016 faded away over the course of 6 or so months. No...
No improvement yet, though it’s coming up to just six weeks. Still early days, not giving up hope yet it’ll improve.
Three weeks and no improvement. I don't know what to do, I desperately want my tinnitus to go back to its previous baseline level. I'm really...
Sadly making a post I hoped I never would have had to make. I developed tinnitus in 2014, after a bad six months or so, it calmed down and I...
I'm a month short of my 5 year "anniversary" with tinnitus so i'll throw in my two cents here. Everything you've written in your post sums up how...
I must say I'm saddened learning about the passing of Danny Boy. I joined this forum back in 2014 roughly around the same time as him. I...
It's entirely up to you. You need to weigh up if it's worth risking potential worsening of your tinnitus for one concert. Personally, I've been...
I have this intermittently. I can go weeks without it then suddenly it's paying me another visit. It's very quiet for me compared to my regular...
I don't think it's a a massive secret to those with noise induced tinnitus that continued exposure to loud situations may exacerbate the...
Yeah these things are way overpriced for what they actually are. Especially considering how polarising they are for people who have paid up the...
The vast majority of people with tinnitus habituate to the condition. This is an important message to get out to those that are new and...
I'd say within 3 months I had adjusted and life was back to normal.
First, try to relax. Easier said than done I know but if you get yourself into a worked up state over your tinnitus it will sound louder and...
Why isn't there an egotistical option?
Evolutionary theory doesn't say this. Darwin never stated this. You appear to be mixing up evolutionary theory, which explains changes in life...
Faith is indeed a very personal thing. However faith is a very poor method to utilise when searching for the truth of reality. I tend to to...
You aren't "made" to suffer from tinnitus. Tinnitus is the result of something going wrong in your brain, that's the only reason. I don't think...
There is always a risk with any activity. Can't live a life on what ifs. Sure, there is a chance I could go to a rock concert tomorrow and...
Whether you are doing nothing or "not getting in the way", what is the difference when the net gain is zero? We will just have to disagree here....
What are you doing to fight for a cure ? We can't really compare self driving cars and civilian space travel to a neurological condition....
You didn't answer my question. If you don't believe habituation is achievable. What is your course of action?
Indulge me for a second. If you can't accept habituation, then what are you aiming for? They are both brain conditions, you are correct....
Sure, tinnitus research is vastly under-funded and as a whole there is a lack of general awareness of it. However I think comparing tinnitus...
I find the opinion of people saying suicide is never an option a little condescending. Sadly for many people all over it is an option and one...
I find it an interesting debate on whether people with noise induced tinnitus especially should take the risk and expose themselves to further...
Habituation isn't perfect. It's not a cure. When I first encountered tinnitus I had the attitude that nothing less than total removal of the...
Your best bet would be to find an audiologist who offer custom earplug service When my tinnitus started back in 2014 I had mild hyperacusis for...
Three years in, noise induced. If you had said to when my tinnitus started that it would become an insignificance in my life, well i'd have...
First up, don't beat yourself up. Having tinnitus isn't some life sentence where you can no longer go out and enjoy yourself. I made the...
You can still do these things. Just be sensible about it. I got myself a pair of moulded ear plugs. Expensive but a great investment. I've...
I remember when my tinnitus first started I was a paranoid mess that thought pretty much anything could make my tinnitus worse. I avoided pretty...
@Skulldrey I have nothing really to add to which hasn't been said so far. However as a side note, your cause of tinnitus has raised a...
I'll weigh in with my experience. I developed tinnitus in July 2014, habituated after 4-5 months and it was no longer a problem for me. Fast...
First of all, you should try and remain as calm as possible. anxiety doesn't help. I did something very similar to yourself, I was totally used...
What if the OP had been a muslim...would you be suggesting reading the Qu'ran would be a pointless act? It's amazing that yahweh in all his...
I get that every other week or so too. I think I even got that even before I had tinnitus. I'm sure it's quite common in most people tbh, we...
Recovery is never a straight line. You are going to have bumps in the road. As time progresses the bumps will be fewer. When my T started I...
Hey Chris, always good to see a fellow weegie on here. Inspiring story. I was just like you until I made the mistake a few weeks ago of going...
Yeah after the initial 4/5 months at the beginning i totally habituated to it. Made a mistake by going to a gig without earplugs a couple weeks...
Sweet. Post an update about it, would love to read about it. I see we've had tinnitus roughly the same amount of time. How you dealing with it?
@jeanaroid I sure hope so. I managed not to get panicked over it for the last two weeks but last night and today all the stress came back and it...
Aberdeen. Talk about an out of the way place to have it :) Handy for all you northerners though!
@glynis Thank you for the kind words. I have no doubt the high stress I am feeling is feeding the tinnitus. I remember well the bad days of my...
@Bobby B I've never experienced hyperacusis since I picked up T thankfully, and I don't seem to have any symptoms of it now, just the ringing....
Hi everyone. This is a post I wish I never had to make, as I am sadly going through a (self inflicted) relapse. 2 weeks ago I really stupidly...
@Path Maker Yeah I'm familiar with Julian Cowan Hill. I remember watching some of his videos a year back and a lot of what he says does make...
@Path Maker Absolutely, complacency is what has got me into this situation. At that moment I felt I didn't have to worry about the state of my...
Hi all. This is post is a sort of mini vent I suppose, so bear with me. I acquired the T beast back in July 2014. A bolt out of the blue...
I get it, I went through all this when my T started. I was constantly blaming myself for all the loud music exposure I inflicted on my ears over...
@Jamie m Being at work is the correct thing to do. I stayed off work for over 2 months at onset and looking back it was the worst thing I could...
@Jamie m Tinnitus can feel very isolating in the early stages. It was after my condition started I learned of several people in my life who also...
