Oh, that’s good to know! What are your triggers, and what are you doing to avoid them? In my case, I’m currently wondering if I might have chronic sinusitis. I have a lot of breathing issues, and my TMJ specialist told me he could tell from my posture that I mouth breathe. I also suspect I...

I get similar sensations all the time when I am lying in bed. Usually, I can feel my tinnitus cutting in and out before it happens, so I have a chance to get up. But if I do not, I get the piercing tinnitus, which can last from 10 seconds to a few days. The longest it lasted for me was two days...

You also have to be proficient in Dutch. I would have participated otherwise 😢

If you find something, could you let us know what you buy? I’m interested too!

We also had mold issues in our bedrooms, and the two times it happened, my tinnitus lessened a lot after clearing the mold.

Since last November, I've been having more and longer periods where my T is predominantly a hiss. Although it's also reactive, the intensity of neck and jaw pain I have is directly related to the loudness and nature of my T.

Update: I think I have a slight idea of what my baseline is, but the issue is that I cannot figure out how to stay at baseline. As I have mentioned, my tinnitus is extremely reactive and somatosensory. The problem is that I am a very tense person. Even the slightest stress causes all my...

A car alarm also went off during my sleep, and my tinnitus has mimicked that for a few days now.

I cannot WAIT to move out. Got woken up by someone vacuuming for the second time in the week. When it's not vacuums, it's alarms. I rarely have a full night of sleep; it's insane.

I get a tingling sensation from my cheekbone to above my lips when i'm exposed to too much sound. It's not painful but it's annoying. I used to get that when i was very stressed or when my tmj is very bad. Does anyone else have that?

Well, i don't think i'll be able to get out of my protections in my house. Constant vacuum and power tool noises today. Yesterday got blasted with a high pitch pure tone coming out of nowhere. Looking to move out

Trying to stop wearing earmuffs in my home. The psychological aspect is hard to overcome ! On a good note, my reactive tinnitus is a bit less reactive.

Have you been able to completely stop using protection at home? I am dealing with the exact same issue. My tinnitus has also improved a lot thanks to protection, but I would like to be free from it in my own house.

Does tinnitus itself affect REM sleep, or is it tinnitus-related anxiety that prevents a good night’s sleep? To add my two cents, ever since developing tinnitus, I’ve started waking up multiple times per night. I used to be a heavy sleeper despite having anxiety before acquiring tinnitus. Even...

I relate to this a lot. I go through cycles lasting anywhere from two weeks to a month and a half. Last November, I had just a hiss for a full month—I felt like my struggle was over. Then one day, it started ramping up again. Over the past few days, it has doubled in intensity, and I have no...

Hello everyone, It’s been one year since my tinnitus began, and unfortunately, I haven’t habituated yet because it changes every two months. I don’t react strongly to it anymore (except when I get brand-new sounds), but I can’t ignore it. It started as a very high-pitched ringing in February...

I also have lower-frequency tinnitus. In fact, all my tinnitus sounds are below 2000 Hz. In my case, the sound is localized to one ear only. In my right ear, I have a 500–600 Hz pipe-like sound, which I believe is due to TMJ. In my left ear, I sometimes get a hum when I overprotect.

Hello, Have you noticed any pressure in your jaw when you wear or remove your Invisalign? Do you find yourself clenching more while wearing it? I’m not a doctor, but tinnitus can sometimes be caused or worsened by jaw-related issues. I’m in a similar situation—though I have a retainer instead...

As others have mentioned, it is most likely fleeting tinnitus. I’ve experienced quite a lot of those episodes over the past few months as well. It could also be related to your stress levels since tension in the neck can cause it.

Hello! I developed one tinnitus sound after a dentist appointment. I already had TMJ, which started after my wisdom tooth removal. During a night guard fitting, I had to keep my mouth open for too long, and this caused a very low-pitched hum on one side. Sometimes the hum lessens to the point...

The exact same thing happened to me. One of my sounds appeared after I kept my mouth open for too long at the dentist. It lessened over time, but whenever I wear my night guard, it becomes extremely loud again. I also suffer from TMJ, and my tinnitus is noise-induced.

Damage might be a bit of a stretch here. As I was taught, brain damage refers to the destruction of brain cells. Unless tinnitus was caused by such damage, I do not think most people with tinnitus have brain damage. Brain damage is also considered to be quite permanent. If tinnitus were truly...

Sending lots of hope your way—that must have been terrifying. Did you end up taking the Prednisone? Even for the sinus infection, isn’t it strange that you weren’t prescribed Prednisone?

I experienced this last month. The deafness was very brief, but the ringing lasted for several hours. It took an entire month to settle down a bit, but it is still not close to baseline. As a result, the ringing returned in my good ear. I also experienced a lot of fleeting tinnitus episodes...

Stardew Valley, Terraria, Slay the Spire, Mario Kart, Factorio. I've been playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption 2 lately, and it's an excellent game. And let's not forget my absolute favorite, Cuphead. I love that game so much I became a speed runner of it!

I'd like to apologise to the moderators who have to correct all my broken english posts. Sorry :sorry:

Hello everyone, Lately, I’ve noticed that certain positions seem to trigger my SBUTT episodes. For those who might not know, SBUTT stands for Sudden Brief Unilateral Tapering Tinnitus. It’s that sensation of sudden deafness accompanied by a very loud ring, which fades away within seconds or...

At one point in my life, my misophonia was so intense that I would automatically yell “shut up” at babies. It was embarrassing, especially in public. I wish it were only crying and screaming that bothered me, but I can’t stand their laughter, talking, or cooing either. 😩

I finally got clonazepam prescribed instead of clorazepate! I really hope it will help spikes

My noiseless pc setup using a steam deck is up and ready ! This console has been the best thing i bought in 2024

You can’t get Clonazepam in France anymore. It’s now prescribed exclusively for epilepsy, and only neurologists are authorized to prescribe it to patients.

Huuuge mold issue in my room. It explains why my nose felt stuffed. Might have something to do with the slightly increased tinnitus of those past 2 days. At least I hope.

I’m unearthing this topic because I was discussing misophonia with a friend yesterday. I’ve had misophonia for a long time, even before developing tinnitus. Certain sounds trigger an intense, irrational anger in me, so strong that it brings up intrusive thoughts of very violent scenes. I also...

I’m using a low-profile foam pillow. My physical therapist told me that your neck should be aligned with your spine when you sleep.

Hello, Yes, things have calmed down a bit. The fleeting tinnitus episode lasted for about 1–2 hours, and it took me a month to have a few good days again. However, I’m still not back to where I was before it happened. I’m confident that this episode was caused by muscle issues and worsened by...

I’ve seen a few posts from people who also had very long-lasting, fleeting tinnitus, so I guess it’s not entirely impossible for it to eventually disappear. As for me, I already use hearing protection when I’m on my computer, as I have reactive tinnitus that responds to fan and HDD noises. I...

I’ve been experiencing increased tinnitus for the past three weeks, which started after a one-hour episode of what I believe was fleeting tinnitus. I’m not entirely sure if I can call it fleeting tinnitus, but it felt exactly like that; a sudden, loud, high-pitched sound that takes over the ear...

Ironic : my Brain filters out the sound enrichment I use at night because it's too busy focusing on tinnitus. Took me 20min to realize it was still running

My ears popped the other day and the tinnitus disappeared for 1s?! Reactivity and sensitivity have been way down since. WTH happened????

Oh irony, I say it gets better just for it to get worse the next day. It just got higher pitched for no reason

Almost 6 months in. I'm getting more and more good days and I'm learning things about my T. Prolonged low noise spike me badly...

I've had tinnitus for two months now. I still don't know what really caused it, between noise and this persistent viral infection/sinusitis/rhinitis I've been having. During those two months, my tinnitus has been very variable. It almost disappeared, came back as a new sound after a super...

Hello everyone! I developed tinnitus one month ago. I'm not sure if it was noise induced or due to fluid in the ears. Two different GPs saw fluids in my ears, but, I saw an ENT two days ago and they said I had nothing. The ENT believes my tinnitus was noise induced and sent me on my way without...
