Habituation is real, life is good again!
Wait... no, my mistake, this is still dreadful, life ruining and daily torture.

Although I have rediscovered drinking & smoking and that they have no effect on my tinnitus whatsoever so bring on a quicker end!

Hi Marx, just wondering how you are now. Did you take ldn and how did you get on. I have it in the fridge but I'm scared to take it. My tinnitus is very bad and I'm hardly sleeping at all

Hi folks, not been here for a while. My T and H are just the same but trying to move on. I posted some time ago about meetings in the UK. I know about the online ones but socialising with this condition is simply impossible. I live in Manchester UK, if any one lives nearby and it's up for a chat/coffee you can msg me

Freakin' cicadas high season. Their level is surely above 90dB all day long, as I happen to live in a suburb with lots and lots and lots of pine trees. They often give me the scares that I hear dysacusis tones on their screech too.

Sat in the garden listening to the wind in the tall pine trees. Is it green or brown noise, I don't know, but it was soothing to my tinnitus ears. Almost made it disappear for a moment there.

I still don't understand how few hours in a nightclub with earplugs, causes worse issues than being there without earplugs. Almost 3 months gone and still having issues...

Always funny when you describe your symptoms to ENT, and they look you back like you are a crazy person.

And this problem is all around the world it seems.

@Heal82 great to see that you have improved. Can I ask how many months in you started to notice improvement and what may have helped.

I am trying out Betaserc (Betahistine), I try anything at this point.

Wrath of God. That should be new name for all ear and hearing related conditions.

Hey Erica, I am about to start a clinical trial for Ubrelvy related to my menstrual migraines. I'm curious what effect it might have on my tinnitus. Can you tell me more about your experience with it? Thank you!

I think the Dr. out in California has been studying the relationship between tinnitus and migraines as well. Dr. Djajilian or something along those lines.

Hi Sharon, you sounds like an expert on cats, if you had six of them 😊 Is it normal to a cat to hide under a bed. Maybe i should build somekind of cat house to her? i want it to notstay under my bed so much. But it still a new home for her, so it will get better with time i think 😊

I think I might have covid, my tinnitus randomly started raging really bad. I've been sick for 3 days with no symptom improvement, and it keeps getting louder and louder :(
henkess
It gets better my tinnitus was louder to when I had covid. It took me some months and It was my "normal" tinnitus again=)

I don't know him but he might have gotten better and never returned. :dunno: You can habituate extremelly quickly to mild tinnitus.
midnightmagnum
thank you for this.

Last weeks have been goin pretty good. Only like 1 "loud sound" incident each week. Focusing on relaxing and just getting my mental state together. Feels good when u got some energy to actually do something :) Feeling positive.

Went to ENT today. As I expected, no help. I was insulted when he said "Your ears look so healthy, I would want them myself! You have perfect hearing at your age!" Well, that is good. But still.

Then why there is pain inside my ear then? Or the feeling of fullness or why my ears go haywire whenever I hear high frequencies?
S
I had hearing test today and have good news! My hearing is basically the same than 6 years ago and it's actually even improved a bit on 8khz area! So that's good news!

Amusement Parks are hazardous. Even with ear plugs I'm probably gonna pay for today's festivities. Just wanna live a little before I die.

Sucks. I used to be a Disneyland passholder. Practically lived at that park. I miss it.

@kingsfan I feel like I've been lucky so far that my t has mostly stayed constant. Even though it's insanely loud I cope pretty well overall. I know I'm playing with fire doing some of these activities but I'd rather take some risk then fold completely.

Unfortunately, I mowed the lawn again and it caused me great pain around my body and face. So I will be avoiding doing that.....forever if possible...
henkess
how could it make pain around the face and body?
Marina Moon
@henkess I was doing alot of twisting and turning with the lawn mower and that aggravated my back pain which is connected to my face pain. It's all muscle pain. It's a confusing situation sadly, I'm still trying to seek help from doctors :(
henkess
Oh sorry to here that hope i gets better :( have you tried paraflex. I have it for spasmer in ear, and muscle pain. It works for me but i need to take it later in the day i get so tired when i take it😆 My spasmer in ear gets better in 4 hours, and my muscle pain to.

Big progress in june 2025 ! Tinnitus stabilizing, hyperacusis softening a bit, shorter spikes :)

Going to visit a doctor today. 2 months since the event, should've gone earlier but maybe if I get some help / medication for this.
Maruashen
Let me know what the doctor told you! Would be nice to know.
I went through your posts and I can relate. One thing struck me though, something I do a lot too: you dwell on and ruminate about what has happened. Yes, you got unlucky 2 months ago, but instead of looking back at something you can't change, you need to leave that behind and look forward. I do this too, but it only makes me depressed.
S
@Maruashen I try not to ruminate, as you said, it doesn't help. What happened happened. I do try to focus on positive things. It's not always easy...

Doctor sends me to ENT. I know it won't help, but maybe if I get some medication to try out. At least I'd like to do hearing check. And there is a possibility for a therapist.
kingsfan
You're gonna want to go in with a plan to advocate for yourself, whether it's trying something like gabapentin, LDN, or the myriad of other medications that have been discussed here on TT. Otherwise they'll just tell you to get used to it or get white noise generators.
