Noticed it a week afterwards but I think it was there all along, I was just too busy till then. My ears rang loud right after but seemed all...

Gyms I've been to in my area didn't have music playing luckily. I didn't know a lot of gyms have music, that would annoy me a bit.

Awareness: 5P / I am constantly aware of my tinnitus, sometimes it happens that I do not think about it for 15-30 minutes. Sleep: 3P / I struggle...

Yeah, I've had that happen while laying in bed a couple times. I'd be lost in thought for a minute and suddenly think "Hold on, I didn't notice...

@svintegrity I finished my assessment today. Haven't learned anything yet except what I already knew, but going to treat the depression, stress...

I thought about that for a while a few weeks ago and realized it just won't work or be worthwhile pursuing. First the complexity of the nerve...

@svintegrity Thanks, here's hoping. I'm not sure they have any experience with this kind of thing or not. I hear mindfulness meditation can help,...

@Alex Senkowski I actually went through the same thing last night, thought I'd be fine without a sleeping pill. I waited like 20 minutes, then...

For me, luckily volume hasn't been an issue yet. The fact that it exists at all is what upsets me most. I see it as a problem that needs a...

I'll go for 3-4. I can hear it among the background noise if I look for it but not aware of it if I'm focused. white/pink noise alone doesn't work...

@svintegrity I've got an evaluation appointment at a local mental health place Friday. It was going to be last Wednesday but we had a huge...

Definitely true, I actually did just that for almost an entire year after my undergraduate. It just felt so good, like endless satisfaction. I did...

Trying to pop my ear didn't work, such as yawning, swallowing and plugging my nose and blowing. The feeling faded though after a week or two.

My right ear started feeling full a week after I noticed the tinnitus. There was no cold/flu though. It stayed like that for a couple weeks and...

@Sound Wave @VegLife Thanks, it's good to know others adapted and I can too one day. Your story hits close to home.

@NiNyu Yep fashion was a big part of it too, I pretty much ignored that entirely. I didn't put much effort into it. Love wasn't necessary for my...

@svintegrity Glad to hear the surgery was successful! I'm sure you'll continue to heal and get better, since everything is going as expected....

@Sound Wave Nope just live with parents. I planned on working on it, but I was lazy. Being honest, I never had a relationship and am still...

It's probably mild if that's true. I'd think it's severe if you can't avoid it's presence in any waking situation. Though I'm not sure what the...

Agreed, you feel a lot of the same things I do. It's nice not to be alone. I remember on a really quiet day with no wind hearing my laptop...

Yes I do fully believe my life was great before tinnitus. I don't know how to break that thinking but I really did feel great all the time. Just...

PC gamer here, still waiting for news of the port!

Thanks :> Honestly never played final fantasy besides 7 and the start of tactics for Gameboy Advance, but I just love the character design of the...

I agree knowing the cause doesn't help much if it still can't be fixed. I know my cause but it doesn't bring me any comfort, more annoyance than...

White noise pink noise brown noise violet noise alone worked for a bit at first but not anymore. Some youtube video's that have layers changing...

If the volumes low as I used to have it yeah I do hear it a bit. Used to have it on very low, now I've turned it up a bit to hear the small sound...

No I usually don't. It does a pretty good job for me.

Yep I know it sure is hard to change my habits. I'm quite lazy and always avoided being busy, preferring to lounge about relaxing. Life has been...

Hard to say, I'll say how I view it. I haven't experienced severe to compare though. This is my best guess at a definition so hope I don't offend...

Masturbating has been has been less satisfying since tinnitus. Usually when I finished I'd just lie in a daze for like 15 minutes afterwards just...

@tshapiro I'm glad to hear things are turning a corner. I hope I start having good days, not a day has gone by yet where I haven't felt depressed...

I find it so difficult not to. When relaxing I naturally search for threats. I see tinnitus as a threat still and it keeps bothering me. I haven't...

I keep thinking there should be lots more because I went from never heard a noise in my head in my life to mild chronic tinnitus and some hearing...

Dr Nagler, I hope you will take the time to post your recovery story. It would be comforting knowledge to have for the future if my tinnitus does...

@Hindu only some games with all sound off. Usually just with the music off. And I still can't stay relaxed for more than a couple seconds and only...

About the same, I feel a very very gradual adjustment happening. Still feel sour that it happened to me after my first experience with loud music,...

@linearb Yeah I do enjoy dreams and nightmares. It is fun upon waking to analyze them and the emotions I felt. Actually almost never had...

Yeah, i switched from fan to white noise app on tablet cause the fan was probably too loud. The tinnitus is mild, constant hiss and beeping....

@svintegrity Thanks for the help, I'm going to keep trying new things until I find something to let my mind feel free of burden again. I used to...

I'd be happy if there was more awareness. I had no knowledge I was in any kind of danger when I went into a loud dance club for the first time in...

INTP here, very mild tinnitus but still devastating my mind. Still think about it pretty much constantly. I used to instantly feel a wave of...

I think it might be a different one. Tensing my jaw in different ways doesn't change my tone. Feels like it's underneath my neck muscles, like I'm...

Not sure which one yet, its a vibrating feeling right side just below my ear, inside my neck when I yawn. I can also hear the blood changing flow...

My tinnitus mostly seems like that, just very quiet. I can't figure out where it gets its rhythm from, just total random electrical noises. Right...

I have a pretty much inaudible tone, even in silence, in my right ear that becomes mild-moderate in volume when swallowing or burping.

Thanks for the support, I wish you the best of luck and maybe I can follow your example. I was pretty laid back and lazy before and just liked to...

Thanks, forgot to mention it also worries me a lot since I wanted a quiet career dealing with math as an actuary, and I'm afraid I can no longer...

I am gona start carrying a couple pairs of disposables from work for the bar i think. Just a bit scared of slightly loud noise though it was never...

In all my searching and reading since this all started, this sums up basically all I found too. Thought about hbot too but I just can't find the...

Yeah masked my mild tinnitus buzz and notes for a bit, thanks. White noise never seemed to work perfect cause I'd end up noticing the...

Thanks, my hearing still seems pretty good though I never actually looked at my audio-gram when they did it, they just said it was normal. Seems...

Yeah I feel like very minor damage at certain areas but dominant so far has been something like 15-18khz CRT tv sound in right ear that makes me...

Thanks, going by what I see other people exposed to, I really should be fine. I got nothing to compare the sound I was exposed to but either I'm...

Thanks for your advice and stories Vincent and joviona, I hope it gets better for everyone. Mine feels like it's always the same volume and rhythm...
