My tinnitus has been elavated for like 3-4 weeks now and i cant really find why it got louder. Ive had some misshapps happening but nothing extreme. i also feel a little bit "clogged" in my right ear where the spike is happening. Im getting less and less anxiety over "loud stuff" thats happening so thats good!

I find it difficult to put into words how much I hate this horrible disease. My hate for tinnitus is deep and all-consuming. It has stolen so much life from me and I will never recover from that loss and pain. Never.

Me too. I hate it. Another night of going to bed with a high-pitched whine. No silence, no true rest, nothing.

I feel it all the time & got so isolated I found an internet forum with other miserable people 🤗

Therapy is the only thing keeping me together

Aloha friends

I took vitamin D everyday for about 2 weeks. My tinnitus worsened around this time. Does vitamin D affect your tinnitus?

I have had a similar experience. Too much of a good thing...

I can't bear to look at pictures of my younger self anymore without being overwhelmed by guilt. I'm only 21, but it feels like I've already ruined my life. I just don't see how I could possibly build a future for myself. . And the hardest part is… I don't know if I'll ever get to be a mom. Not the way things are right now.

ears take a long time to heal. even up to 5 years... you are very young and you can do it. you have plenty of time for motherhood. I believe in you

There's a chance that it'll go away especially when you're young. I got my first round of T from a concert in my mid-20s and it went away- completely, absolute silence for 10ish years. It was an unrelated series of unfortunate events that led to my current T.

It appears I have developed a low bass like noise in my right ear. Doing my best to stay calm :( Any advice friends?

Hey Zack, how are you doing and how has been your T? Did you got any better? Sending prayers 🙏🏻

Feeling more resolute today. Despite the relentless and overpowering T now, I can remember that in the last 13 years I have had more good days than bad days. And on the best days, the T didnt matter one bit. That's got to count for something. I have to believe that I can make it through this hurdle. All I can do is take it one day at a time.

T is very loud today. Trying to deal with it and not break down. Seems like the same pattern every week. M-OK, T-Moderate, W - Severe, T- Moderate, F-OK, Sat -OK, Sun - Severe. OK is not great but livable. Its the humming, hissing, ear sensations... ugh... Sometimes I just don't understand the point of "this".

The tinnitus just keeps getting worse. I stay in my room or the hallway in quiet. Doesn't seem to matter.

Currently trying to not care about my tinnitus and hyperacusis and it's actually working. Tinnitus is less reactive and when it is, it doesn't last long (except for the 2 days of ambulance siren phantom noise I got lol)

I have made up my mind. I will not take a Xanax or other benzos before my medical procedure. The risk of a spike not worth it. Now I need to find a way to calm myself enough to be able to go through with the procedure.

Feeling really down. I'm so tired of having to live with this. The psychological and emotional burden of trying to be strong and carry on through every major spike has slowly chipped away at my resolve each time. It's so loud, louder than everything. Nothing can mask it. This is hell

Thank you for the support friends. In the last 24 hours I have learned that it is ok to let go and cry it out sometimes. I am lucky to have a supportive partner.
It may take months to habituate to this new increased T, and maybe I never will, but for now all I can do is to carry on
Ken219
"maybe I never will" it is day by day. You will habituate! We will HABITUATE!
Tryn2BHopeful
Right there with you!

Great, now trying to deal with a new sudden reactive tone/distortion on top of sounds, after 4 years with tinnitus, SBUTT's, scary inner ear sensations, TTTS, MEM, tinnitus spikes etc, now this. Shit keeps piling up. Do you think this can go away? After waking up it seems gone, and ramps up towards the night mostly.

Spent 3,5 hours at a really loud indoors fair. Averaging around 85-90dB. Was using my Sony ANC headphones and the new calmer extra, but feeling like it was not enough and I should have done more.. but it is what it is now. T feels bit more intrusive, but trying to keep anxiety at bay and look forward.

TU Delft has announced a 2nd symposium on Tinnitus (June 11th). We could expect results of a bimodal device. Who'd like to go to the event with me?
Ken219
Not a believer.
Christiaan
@Ken219 Well, they seem to believe in the device, given the website and the upcoming presentation.

@hunu92 I am still searching myself and I'm skeptical to be honest. It's still an unknown area. There may be some places but results I'm not sure on either. I believe there is positive results for some people.

There is spi-1005 in close future they've completed all tests, cil001 and rincell1 waitin for them. Drug development is like they find it and start to test it for 10 years so if there is something in somewhere i'm curious about it. can co anywhere in the world to take it
LovableGamer
@hunu92 If you are sure. I would be cautious but I do know of Dr. Minbo Shim. I know two from this forum have gone to him in Korea. There is also those who I believe went to Stem Cells 21 in Thailand.

Had an encounter with the producer of the highest dB sound you can typically encounter: an ambulance! I was fewer than 2 meters away and got an earful of siren. Great. Will keep writing some updates.

Another gym incident. I am so frustrated. Some guy noisily adjusting the squat rack and then crashing the machines even though I asked him not to. And I went during the off-hours. Losing hope.
