I wish I didn't know what was happening to me. I used to hope it'd stabilize. Now I see it's just going to progress.
My tinnitus is unbearable, my exam yesterday went terribly, and I still have to study for another exam, but I can't focus

I had a CT scan of my temporal bone near my ear and also a CT scan of my TMJ. I'm still waiting for my TMJ report.
Another bad tinnitus day mainly in my left ear. Maybe a Norwegian could put me out of my misery?
Everytime I think it can't get worse, I'm proven wrong with a new tone, that is often worse. Just trying to do basic things like taking a bath or eating or taking ear plugs out for a few hours at night. At this point I don't know if the new tones are sound exposure or from meds and my brain is just too beyond messed up. My vss is also progressing. Nox seems controlled still with quiet.

My tinnitus was never bad. No matter what I ate nothing triggered it. my sister spent 20 minute shouting prob 100 plus decibels and I was few meters away I felt her shouts in my eardrum. I should've left the house. After her shouting I had no spike and went to bed 7 hours after now I wake up with 6x spike. 
Hey, how are you doing? our tinnitus profiles seem surprisingly similar. Most people mention a couple of tones, but I get several dozen in each ear, and none of them are constant too--they're all rhythmic and melodic ("alien" as you described), like my brain is looping random bits of sound it picked up at some point in life and just keeps playing them back.
I can't go on with this indefinitely, I'm just not cut out for it, what life is it to just carry on existing for fear of death. How can something so cruel have not just no safe treatment, to take the edge off, but the potential to worsen without a moments notice.
I've always been depressed, but at least I could hope for something better... this has stolen my hope.

I saw a clip of the movie "Baby Driver" today. The memory hit me like a ton of bricks. I had seen the movie years ago and shuddered at the thought of having to suffer something like tinnitus. I knew then that I would eventually kill myself over something like that. Now I'm sitting here years later, laughing out loud and bitterly at that memory. Fate is sometimes cruel.
Dear all,
I need to go through a medical examination that's necessary - a sigmoidoscopy. I am terrified. To get through it, I consider taking a Xanax, aka Alprazolam before. Do you think one Xanax could worsen my tinnitus? Any advice? Thanks so much!

My T has been raging more and more recently. I wake from a short nap and it's all I can hear. I did habituate up to a certain point, but it seems to be getting worse.
I need to post. I have Meiniers and a cochlear implant
I can't stop crying; my tinnitus is so so so loud right now
The CT scan of my left temporal bone shows some issues. I have very loud brutal tinnitus in my left ear at 5:30 am. I hope surgery will give me relief.
Realising the hearing regeneration I'd pinned my hopes on probably isn't going to be suitable for me is really crushing me right now... The hearing loss isn't even really an issue, I just want the tinnitus & hyperacusis gone so I can go to the shops without ear plugs. A life of solitude & suffering is no life at all.
No longer able to sleep over 3 hours even on benzos. T is too intrusive and h causes every noise to jolt me awake. Nox is off and on I guess.
Accidentally messed up my benzo cross taper and was taking way too little. Went up to almost the correct dose but it isn't working.
