Since getting this it has made me want to explore audiology as a career pathway. It's alarming how many unempathetic experiences people have had with the initial realization of having tinnitus. I think about how unprepared I was at first - I think I really needed someone who got it to help me understand more face to face.
Hi Kenneth, i can relate to your story. Can you manipulate your tinnitus with neck or jaw movements? I also developed tinnitus after a period of health anxiety, and much later developed eye floaters unfortunately. How are you doing? Any developments? Take care, wish you all the best!

Hey, sorry you can relate.

I can squeeze my jaw to make it louder. But it almost feels like a different tinnitus? It's hard to explain but I always had the ability to make my ears rumble, ring, etc. Then the anxiety attack and now I'm hearing a flat tone tinnitus with a pulsing tone on top. The pulsing isn't with my heartrate or anything like that. No neck movements or anything affect it sadly.

It's changed once to become barely unnoticeable but I had to distract myself for a whole day. Then it came back in full force and hasn't really subsided since.
I've been having issues with sleeping and keeping positive. Only just over a month in. I remember 2 months ago before any of this started and I yearn for those nostalgic times.

How are you doing?
