F*** off i dont want it

I plan to keep posting even when/if I'm completely recovered. I want to counter the voices that jump onto a 16 yr old's post to tell them it's probably permanent after a week, or not to worry because surely there will be a cure in their lifetime, or that they've had high pitched screeching for 1000 years and it's never gotten better. None of that is compassionate and is untrue for most people and I cringe every time I see someone do it. Hope is important, especially for those of us still in the early stages. There's so much misinformation and dooms daying. I saw an analysis that said TinnitusTalk has more positive posts than negative, so that tells you how many people actually are out there improving. They aren't all languishing.

I did have my ears irrigated. As far as I could tell, it had no impact on my tinnitus. It did, however, open up my hearing. My right ear was pretty blocked, so sounds were amplified for about a week before my system adjusted. I was hearing sounds I hadn't realized I wasn't hearing before. I'm walking around wondering what that noise is and it's my arm brushing against my clothes. I don't regret doing it at all. I bought an ear camera so now I can look at my own ears and see if they're blocked.

I'm so glad to have connected with you and several others. Passing along some optimism to you has helped me, too. I used to barrage ChatGPT with questions and by the end, I was in full blown panic. It didn't help me at all. I feel much less alone having others to share experiences, progress and hope with and I hope I help others feel less alone.

I have some issues with my left temporal bone that could be causing my severe left ear tinnitus. I may have to see a temporal bone specialist at John Hopkins in Baltimore.

My anxiety has been at a 10/10 catastrophic level for several days. Everything keeps getting worse. I'm genuinely paralyzed with fear and can't calm down. I'm afraid it's going to lead me to harm myself

Here's another extraordinary recovery story I wanted to share with you. Hang in there. This is the fight of our lives, but it can get much better. If people with trauma this severe can get better, so can we. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/thread...r-induced-tinnitus-has-got-much-better.52479/

Hi I saw an older post you have about itching in your ear. I was at a concert about 6 weeks ago and the day after I would start experiencing this "dull ache" sensation if I listened to music too loud.

Over the past few weeks I notice an itching sensation in place of what use to be the dull aches. Do you still have itching or did that eventually go away ?

I was at an ENT and the hearing came back pretty normal and he thought it might have been TMJ which I know its not the case.

Thank you,

Believe me, I know how you feel. Mine isn't nearly as loud as it was in the beginning, but it still causes me a lot of anxiety. I alternate between "I'll be fine" and "My life is ruined" every other minute. The hardest part is not knowing what the future holds. I'd be fine if I knew for a fact it would resolve and a general timeline. I try to see each night as a new chance for healing and remember that most people do recover, regardless of age or cause, even if it takes awhile. I have recovery stories taped to my doors and walls. Each day is long, but hopefully one day soon this will just be a bad memory. Keep in mind it's still early days. Many, many people don't see the first signs of recovery until after Month 6. There's still time.

Hey. I read your post and was wondering if you could link me to the video by Benn Jordan that you mentioned, please ?

Thank you.

How are you doing?

hello jenny is that you in pfp you look lovely hopefully we get our lives back its hard it will never be the same but functional maybe

Imagine you are in city, where is trial for CL-102, you have acute SSHL, but your loss in only 40 db, instead of 65db+. So you can't entrol in this study

how old are you mate how loud is your tinnitus are you young like me im only 30

Even in terrible grief after the passing of a close one tinnitus doesn't leave me alone - its almost painful.

Hi is the hyperacusis improving

In need of a bit of advice : I'm weening off hearing protection at home, my hyperacusis is really settling down, but my tinnitus is getting worse. It gets so loud by just having simple conversations although it does not hurt my ears

how are you doing

This condition cannot be real

how are you

how are you

how are you

hello jerad how are you

I have been getting a loud cricket chirping in both ears for a few days now. Is it due to sertraline? Does anyone have any experience with it? I can't shake the feeling that I'm a particularly bad case.

No idea where this low bass like sound comes from. It comes and goes as it pleases, but I feel like it's becoming more and more frequent

Still getting this weird nausea feeling after certain sounds. I just played old game trought CRT-TV and the volume was not even loud. But it's the high pitch whining that gets to me.

gabapentin can be used long term for anxiety right? not tinnitus itself
