I mean, you'll never know whether it would have appeared anyway, gym or not. But yeah, there's no way NOT to associate that new tone with the gym....

Jiu Jitsu and weight-lifting.

Just wanted to update. The distortion(s) have calmed down to essentially zero. The ringing is still increased over the previous nine years,...

Thank you both for your kind words. I am TRYING not to panic (keyword: trying), but it is difficult. My tinnitus was incredibly stable for the 9...

I “hear you” on that one, heh. I wear hearing protection in that room, but I only put it on when running the machine or cutting something. With...

Thanks for the reply. I forced myself into work right now and was confronted with another new symptom. I sometimes operate a CNC machine, and when...

Update: I woke up about 30 minutes ago. I still can’t pop my ears. My hearing feels even more diminished on my right side, and the tinnitus is...

To be aware of the "atypical data" is to account for the "typical data". Must be all the napping.

Interesting. Do you take this approach regarding statistics into other areas of your life as well? When purchasing a home or an automobile, do you...

Ok, so let's say the calculation is wildly flawed, and half the reported deaths are inaccurate. Does the seasonal flu kill 500,000 Americans in...

I didn't take the vaccine, out of the fact that I have seen enough evidence of it causing/worsening tinnitus or hyperacusis, and the cost/benefit...

This take is so ignorant, it borderlines on lunacy.

Hey, there’s a bunch of those stores around me. I’m in Santa Ana area, where are you?

[ATTACH] Tall guy on the right.

No.

There is a whole science behind this (acoustics), but I'll try and give a few brief answers here... Not all frequencies dissipate at a similar...

How are you holding up, @CAgirl?

Above post should read every 6dB is a doubling of apparent volume, not 3.

You have to be careful with those SPL meters. 55dB is really quiet. Remember, the apparent volume of a sound doubles every 3 dB. So from 55 to 65...

Yes, I hear my tinnitus everywhere except the shower. I've also had a ton of "scares" like you mention about the popsicle bag exploding and...

Hey, I'm in So Cal, too! Tinnitus sufferers unite... I'm much better 5 years in, though the Tinnitus hasn't changed it's character at all. I...

It sounds like we have the same type of T. Not that it's super loud, but that the frequency it occupies is pretty much unmaskable by "everyday"...

ah yes, Neil Pert. Sadly he passed away not too long ago. @Jazzer Can you listen to music these days?

unfortunately, no. My young soul was gripped by rock and roll and my passion became guitar and singing. I still enjoy listening to some jazz, in...

correct. I was referring to the Glenn Miller version. :)

I started in 4th grade and played through High School, including both concert band and jazz band. My favorite was easily jazz band though. I still...

I see @Jazzer liked my photo. I too played Trombone for a decent amount of time in my youth. Gave it up long before the tinnitus set in tho.

This conversation has become very interesting for me. I am a bit of a philosophy nut, and I am also trained in the "hard" sciences, so this is...

Notice I said most headphones were CAPABLE of delivering a flat freq response. You can use something like SonarWorks or Trinnov that counter the...

I don't know why the machines dont offer a full spectrum sweep. Most headphones are capable of producing a fairly flat 20hz-20kHz test.

Let me start this post with the usual caveat that everyone is different. For those with moderate to severe hyperacusis, even those low levels will...

Hey Telis, I wouldn't take those antiniotics, personally. They are of a class of antibiotics known as Fluoroquinolones and can have very serious...

The brief lower pitched tone you hear is probably just fleeting tinnitus, clinically referred to as "Spontaneous Brief Unilateral Tapering...

I'm months late, but I work in the audio field. Happy to help if I can.

RMS is a volume measurement in this case, best thought of as an average. I’m not sure how to interpret your statement, I just wanted to point out...

SoundCloud compresses streaming audio to 128kbps mp3 format. I can pick that out from an uncompressed 44.1/16-bit WAV 10 out of 10 times, good...

I have the financial means to buy this today if I want, and I would of course report back to the Tinnitus Talk community. I also at work at the...

Tagging @Telis here so he can chime in if he wants, he had a very similar experience recently.

I would believe it. Have you ever experienced Depersonalization or Derealization? I have. And at it's worse, I would choose my current T level...

I'm closing in on 4 years and I can say it takes years. At least 2. But like I said earlier, everyone is different. There is no set amount of time...

Mine hasn’t really changed since it started. It sounds very similar to yours. I also have an anxiety problem. I’ve dealt with it since my teen...

You’re experiencing what’s called TTTS. Tonic Tympanu Tensor Syndrome. It can get better and resolve completely. Mine has stuck around for a few...

To the extent that I can sit in an otherwise silent room and it doesn’t bother me, yes. When I’m in a silent room it fills up my entire head, I...

Why do some people get hooked on heroin and not others? Because we're all different. One thing I see pop up over and over here is that when...

Not sure if it goes by another name in the UK. Perhaps you can have a friend purchase some ahead of time for you and just keep it on hand?...

I always have sinus issues as well. Sudafed (the over the counter variety) is good, but I would go for Allegra-D since it has more of the active...

I know how you feel. I got my T from a cold/ear infection and was absolutely terrified afterwards about how my T would react to future colds....

Hi everyone, so since my onset of tinnitus 3+ years ago, I have had 3 occasions where I’ve had what people call “reactive tinnitus”. All spread...

Hey man, I read your second to last post on Friday and wondered how you got on with the flight. Good on ya for following up. I am supposed to...

Your friend is just naive, but I know how it hurts when someone doesn't understand. Also:...

I still use headphones, albeit rarely. I never use earbuds. I try a common sense approach and just keep the level to what feels like a "sane"...

70dB about 2” from your eardrum can cause issues for people with sensitivity.

So glad to hear you’re doing better, Cheza!
