Thank you. I still don't understand why I don't hear the tones from the tone generator in that entire range but then start hearing tones again in...
I have tried several notching/masking apps to use on my phone with my earbuds. Every one of the apps I've used allows you to pick specific...
I'm a lifelong tinnitus sufferer in both ears (head). I'm 51 years old and male. My ringing is comprised of a range of frequencies that have...
I didn't have time to read all responses so forgive me if this was already suggested, but why wouldn't you wear earplugs while driving in your...
My prayers go out to you! Chris
I'm sorry to hear about your situation and your pain. Since you're chemically dependent on a narcotic, have you considered committing to a 12...
Interesting question! I don't play the lottery but within the last year when the U.S. had the one of the highest if not the highest lotto drawing...
This is the first I've ever heard of "misoponia". Very interesting. Perhaps rather than the double whammy I know I do have, I actually have a...
Correct. Because of this there are municipalities and private businesses that broadcast high frequencies in outdoor areas in which younger people...
If I understand correctly, he's not talking about the db level being too loud in regard to being concerned about hearing damage, he's talking...
To answer the original poster's question: If there was a medication, substance that temporarily lowered the sound of my T, I would NOT feel...
Greetings. Unlike most people on the forum that from what I've seen have had T for a relatively short time, I have a similar experience to yours....
I, too, like @Telis, have the double edged sword, H and T. If I only had H, I could see forcing myself to desensitize to loud sounds as the...
Thanks for the earplug recommendation. I will buy some of these and try them. My T has had no change in 40+ years or at least it's been the same...
@Shedee: My T frequency is almost always the same. It only gets lower or higher temporarily when I have a spike but goes right back to its...
I've had it all my life. I believe on a nervous system level we're never disassociated from our T completely. Our nervous systems are on high...
@gotyoubynuts: Do you have T as well as H? Does your T "flare up" after exposure to loud environments? T is 24/7/365 for me. H is...
Glad to hear that works for you. Sorry to hear that shower sounds make your T worse. I think showers are great since they completely mask my T...
I'm interested to know how many members of the forum have had T all of their lives like I have or have had it for many decades. Please reply to...
I agree with much of what you've said. However, I don't agree with your two options. Habituation is a possible outcome. I have had T since...
Lost and Longmire for me. Tried the Maria Bamford Netflix show, forget the actual name and didn't care for it. I went to school with her and...
I'm sorry to hear about your situation and I hope it resolves for you. With your DR, do you feel that Tinnitus Talk Forum as well as those of us...
The "Back to Silence" method has helped me as well. There is an actual therapy that has been around for a long time known as Acceptance and...
I went overboard and bought a bunch of organic German chamomile. It's so sweet smelling and has made exquisite cups of tea for me today! Words...
Thank you for your post! Faith is a gift from God on many levels. Jesus teaches each of us to "take up our cross" and follow Him. Each of us...
Don't do it. Take a long shower. Put on headphones with masking noise and fall asleep. I hope you get help. Chris
I've seen a tinnitus "spike" defined here as a temporary or permanent increase in ringing over a current level. I get those too and are usually...
20+ years ago I had a friend who lived in Manitou Springs. I went out to visit her there for about six months. It's a beautiful area of our country!
I have both T and H. I have had T since early childhood and probably H since then, but my H has gotten worse through the years. I know many...
I should think I would. It would be an improvement since I'm also used to snowy winters that can last as long as eight months (usually six) and...
I live by Lake Superior which due to its size and the way it affects the surrounding climate is much like living next to an ocean in the northern...
I don't go to movies that often, but for years now, I will only see movies with foam ear plugs in. There have been a few times where I have...
I don't know if "scare" is the word I'd use, but for me it helps and inadvertently hinders. Helps because I can share my experience with people...
Hello All: I have had Tinnitus for as long as I can remember so I've never known life without it. An audiologist confirmed my Tinnitus and also...
Welcome. You could have those close to you experience some of what you experience . There are many free frequency phone apps that allow you to...
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I too have had T since birth. I am 46 now. I found out as a young child when I asked someone if the...
Single malt scotch: peated, unpeated, Sherry cask aged, bourbon barrel aged...
Correction to what I wrote here. My tinnitus is constant at or around 7500 hz
Also, for what it's worth, my hyperacusis appears to be genetic. My mother has the same issue with loud sounds and my maternal grandfather we...
I have had tinnitus all my life with the ringing being a constant tone at approx 1750hz. I also suffer from Hyperacusis which affects me to a...
Interesting suggestion. I will look into this as you may be on to something. I can't help but wonder if there is a link between ADHD and...
I've had lifelong T and H. My hearing is very good/hyper sensitive even with the continuous ringing of T. My biggest issue has always been that...
Thanks for the info, Mark. My tinnitus has always been sound reactive. Since I've had tinnitus all my life, I have more or less grown used to...
Thank you for your welcome. I appreciate it. Can anyone recommend which area of the forum I would more appropriately post my questions...
Hello All: My name is Chris and I've had tinnitus since childhood; I would assume since birth, but oddly I can't remember back that far.:) I...
