    Nearly There

    It's been nearly a year now since I got T for no apparent reason and with no other symptoms. Around 4 months ago I could ignore it for most of the day but I still felt in in quiet places and while trying to sleep. But now I think I'm nearly all the way there, I've begun to be able to ignore it...

    What Kind of Noise Caused a Permanent Spike?

    I made the mistake of going to a night club after I got T (for no apparent reason), the music was absolutely deafening and I got a spike in both ears that lasted a few hours before I went to sleep. When I woke up the next morning however, it was back to its normal level. Having said that, I'm...

    Advice on Flying

    Planes are fine, the noise level is far from harmful and some of the newer commercial aircraft are spookily quiet. I've been on many intercontinental flights over the last 10 years and only one has given me any trouble with ear pressure.

    Just Want to Say Hey...

    I got it earlier this year for no apparent reason, I went through the usual few months of near insanity and feeling helpless when doctors can't help us. I slowly got used to it and a few months ago I could begin to go through daily life without it bothering me, I'd remember it every few hours...

    How Long Until You Started to Feel Better?

    I've had it for approximately 5 months, I think I'm approaching complete habituation. During the day when I'm on a computer or outside I don't notice it, if I do it's only for a few seconds then I forget about it. At night in bed when it's silent I'm constantly aware of it but I'm just not that...

    Tinnitus and Injustice

    We've already making huge progress in trying to determine what exactly gives rise to Tinnitus. Try to take comfort in the knowledge that as long as tens of millions of people suffer from this, medical research will continue. I wouldn't be surprised if an effective treatment started trials within...

    Partial Habituation

    The weird thing is, for me, habituation hasn't involved the noise going away. I think it's just as prevalent as before, but it's just that I don't care as much about it anymore. I consider myself lucky, having only taken a few months or so to get used to it, I can't imagine how bad a year or...

    Partial Habituation

    Hello, I'm new to Tinnitus unfortunately. The ringing noise began suddenly a few months ago in my right ear for no obvious reason and is still with me now. A hearing test showed that my hearing was normal if not above average for my age (18). I don't go to concerts and I don't even own a pair of...
