"Mon Petit Nitus" — My Tinnitus Journey Diary!

WARNING: This diary has been created by a French fellow, please excuse his chaotic English

("Mon Petit Nitus" means "My Little Nitus" in French. That's how I decided to call my new friend because "Petit Nitus" sounds like tinnitus in english! (Tinnitus is Acouphène in French!)

Hello everyone! Instead of creating a lot of threads, I decided to open a diary where I could write all my feelings!

I need a place to share my feelings and my journey through the tinnitus phenomenon. Feel free to react as much as you want, and I'll be happy to talk with you

Here comes my first entry:

D+20 after acoustic trauma.

My tinnitus is quiet today (2 to 3/10).

-I discovered that turning my head to the extreme left and right affect my tinnitus.

-My tinnitus did also become more distant. Like it is a bit further from me. Even in silent places.

-The tinnitus fluctuates. It's going up and down and up and down every 5 seconds. Like the sound of a a soda bottle.

-Bad moment of the day: When I opened my eyes this morning, my ears were so stunned, I felt underwater, couldn't hear well for 3 minutes, but all went back to normal after this.

-My hyperacusis is still here, but mild, I can live normally, my ear only reacts to objects that fall on the ground.

-Anxiety of the day: After my bad moment this morning, I started to be afraid of becoming deaf.

-Had my first spike today, It lasted 5 seconds haha, apparently a fleeting tinnitus. I was just watching TV at a decent volume.

See you guys! Wish you the best.
