Hello, I’ve had tinnitus for about 9 months, which originally started during a very heavy set of leg press where I was exerting myself very hard/ holding my breath and clenching my jaw. Since then, its been pretty minor and is only in one ear. It gets much worse momentarily if I clench down or exert myself hard in the gym. Also, certain loud electronic noises are slightly distorted in my right ear as well. Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience as this, and if it is fixable. From researching a bit on the internet I originally thought it was a perilymphatic fistula, but my doctor sai ..read more

Hi everyone. It’s been 2 years since i hear it, i am still looking for some hope i suppose. If you’re reading this, you’re not alone, we’re together and we are fighting it together. Whoever you are, wherever you are. My Question: Do you hear a popping sound in your ear time to time? Tonight i was trying to sleep and all of a sudden, i heard a little “pop” sound in my ear that i’ve been hearing time to time. But! My tinnitus actually decreased a lot to compare it with yesterday after that “pop” sound in my ear. Do you have any idea to share with me? Do you guys hear it? Thanks. submitted by ..read more

Hi, I just recently developed tinnitus (2 weeks) and spiraled into a deep panic. I noted that the more I thought about it the worse it got. After hours of panic I said fck it and decided to take an old clonazepam I had been prescribed for anxiety. So far I’m 2 hours in and it seems to be completely gone. Maybe it was anxiety induced? Idk, but I think it’s a good idea to treat any anxiety relation problem in your life if you are struggling with tinnitus. It scared the everliving shit out of me and now I feel so much better. I will update if it returns. submitted by /u/PositiveSignature857 [vi ..read more

Just sharing this as I found it really interesting - almost like a "super tinnitus" where instead of hearing a constant ring/whine you have more complex auditory hallucinations (usually music) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_ear_syndrome?wprov=sfla1 There's an association with tinnitus, but it's not know if it's the same disease process or just overlap of risk factors (ie hearing loss). Hopefully a breakthrough can help all us and the MES gang all at once submitted by /u/JackobusPhantom [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

It’s been 4 years of tinnitus now. I haven’t habituated to a point where I can live normally and feel like it has now almost completely overwhelmed my inner life. I remember being able to talk to myself, my mind is just full of the ringing now. Where do I go from here, I feel only a track that only leads downward. submitted by /u/thesaddestsloth [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi my Tinnitus friends. This will be the first time I started a topic here but I have recently been tinkering about a possible solution that makes a lot of sense in my head. Now with 20 years of experience I have a very clear image about my personal tinnitus and it's caused by hearing damage. Even before visiting a specialist I knew it was on the left side and and three frequencies between 9 and 11 KHz. The hearing damage was indeed found at those specific frequencies. When playing a 4 layer audio track consisting of these three frequencies and some generated noise I can numb down the tones i ..read more

I was lying down on my bed, and my room was quiet. I suddenly realised that I could weird whooshing noise and thought "its so cold to hear that I can hear the damn wind." I looked at my window to check if they were open, and then I laughed only to remember that I got tinnitus. Also, if you would like to know I've had it for 7 years, it's going strong ? ?. submitted by /u/Wheres_my [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
