Donated!

I don't believe that I have ever had a collarbone injury, but I imagine somewhere in my shoulders or neck something is being pressed. Yeah it...

Thank you @Greg Sacramento for the very detailed and informative message. This is the first time that I have had a spike that has hung around for...

I totally agree with this. I remember when I got tinnitus, my folks had never heard about it before and I had to educate them about it. I always...

Thank you very much @Michael Leigh for the information. I often use my regular ear muffs when I go to these different sites. If I am around...

I agree with the CBT clinician /phycologist comment. In my case, a CBT tinnitus clinician is what helped me move forward in my life. They may be...

Hello @shasta0863 Sorry for missing your message there. In all honesty, for the most part the sensation that I was feeling disappeared. Like you...

Thanks for the reassurance @linearb . I've heard nail guns that have been used for roofing and stuff and I know those are loud, but my goodness...

Thank you for the support Michael. It did cause some discomfort and startled me a bit, but I think overall things have settled down a bit. Yeah...

This. I have a pair of silicone musician ear plugs with high level filters that protect me from most everyday sounds - but allow me to hear my...

Thank you @Hazel . It indeed has been quite the journey over the past 5 years. I’ll PM you privately about about the video. Oh wow! I had no idea...

I'll repost mine here. Success stories got me through a lot of tough days in the beginning. I'm currently starting a new full time career, in a...

I believe some of the musician earplugs have interchangeable filters. Mine are permanent so I can't change them out, but they have the highest...

I have had two sets made in the past (one musician and one solid silicone) and while it does feel a bit weird, and a little pressure when they put...

I see what you're saying, but everyone's tinnitus is different. For example, mine is very reactive and fluctuates all the time form driving, food...

That's great that it worked for you. I would just say when you say religiously, then long as it's warranted that makes sense. If you are...

Maybe. But I stand by what I said.

It's not easy, but overtime I was slowly able to ween myself off of ear protection. I only used it in situations where it was needed or I started...

Agreed. This is how my ears used to be when I was over protecting. Once I stopped doing it, things got better.

Hello Jacob, I’m sorry to hear that you are going through so much at such a young age. I’m glad to hear though that you are a fellow Lower...

I’m sorry to hear what you’ve gone through John. Losing hearing so suddenly and then having issues with tinnitus and hyperacusis is rough. As...

I’m sorry to hear that happened man. I’m glad to hear though that it didn’t hang around and dissipated soon after. I consulted with my tinnitus...

Thanks for replying @dellwas ! Yeah it sort of just hit me randomly last week, but hopefully the new tone will continue to slowly diminish....

I couldn’t agree more! For me it was a tinnitus clinician/audiologist who uses CBT in her sessions to help her clients. I am still trying to get...

That’s interesting @Lilah ! Glad to hear that it only lasts a few seconds! :)

That’s interesting. It makes me feel better that I’m not only one who has experienced this. :) I think mine must be due to when my neck gets...

Yeah I would hope so. Overall it is doing much better today. The fluctuating ring isn’t as bad as yesterday and is just hanging around a bit. The...

Hmmmm. The fluctuating ring in my right ear seems to be hanging around. But it wasn't as bad as last night. Hopefully it continues to go down.......

Quick follow up. Things seem to have calmed down back close to normal thankfully. But it took almost a good 12 hours to do so. I even had one or...

That’s interesting. Thanks for replying @Jack Straw . I wonder how much of a somatic element comes into play, and if we are experiencing the same...

By any chance @Jack Straw did this happen when you had any tight shoulders or anything that could be interfering with your tinnitus a bit? I am...

I've learned a couple of things over my T journey: I am more resilient than I thought I was - and T showed me that. It's made me fight for the...

You'll be fine. I've been bowling many times with my partner and had no issues. If it makes you feel better, keep a pair of ear plugs in your...

Thank you very much for your reply @Ed209 ! Like you said, it will depend on the type of helicopter. But I have a pair of custom molded ear plugs...

Hey @Ed209, I just wanted to ask... as I may have to go in a helicopter for work, what type of ear plugs did you have as a back up just in case...

That is a real great story @Holly1987. Thank you for posting that! It's interesting how we all have different reactions to our tinnitus. Good on...

Out of curiosity @glynis, have you been able to touch base with her? I would be curious to hear how she's doing :)

Anyone?

I think this is all getting a little heated here. Let's all take a deep breath. Shake it off (as T-Swizzle would say :p). I hope everyone has...

Was wondering if anyone would be able to help tell me if this is ETD/TTTS/or a combo of both? Since last week after when I went to clear my ears...

Interesting. It seems there is some evidence to put a little more hope into what MuteButton is doing! :)

Not trying to piggy back off of this, but I think I am going through something like this. Either it sounds like it’s ETD or TMJ issues that are...

No worries Jenny! One other thing that I can think of, is it could be hanging around due to stress or anxiety - if you’re going through that...

Hello Jenny, I have had reactive T like that over the last couple of years. What I found what worked best for me was staying calm, trying to...

It seems now that this Low Frequency T may be jaw related. When I focus on stretching my jaw, relaxing, and stretching my shoulders, it seems to...

Hmmmit sounds like there could be an issue maybe with your neck and shoulder area from the whiplash? Do you find that when your shoulders are...

Another thing you could try, is wearing a pair of over the ear headphones (with no music playing) when you’re in the gym. It cuts down some of the...

Thank you for telling that story @Paulmanlike . Like you said, two different people two different responses. I’m always amazed how I’m the only...

I think at the end of the day, you need to do what feels right. I’m glad to hear that protecting a bit more helped you recover @Bill Bauer . For...

Yeah I would definitely agree with that as well. Reliving the pressure can help. It's definitely given that "Ahhhhh that's better" feeling to me...
