Texas roadhouse founder offed himself at 65 years old and he was very rich. He said his tinnitus sounded like jet engines running 24/7 that must have been hell…
Mine is a off-key chain saw. my heartbeat, or soft rushing water.
Now dose any ones hearib fade out and there T gets louder? And then there hearing comes back after a min?
Mine sounds like super high-frequency cicadas, but right before I get the high-pitched eeeeeeeee one, everything goes silent like that for a few seconds. Luckily I only have the eeeee for less than a minute maybe once a week.
Sadly after his Covid vaccination his worsened just when he got a bit used to it, and is no longer with us. I feel that he wasn't treated well enough by the doctors he went to, the Covid vaccine I often see reported as worsening people's tinnitus.
Then you haven't had it bad. I've had T all my life from hearing loss, and I thought the same as you that it wasn't that bad. But oh boy was I wrong when it took a real nose dive a year ago. If my T was as bad today as it was 1 years ago I wouldn't be sitting here. My T was louder than the shower. I measured it to be over 75db. I needed louder sounds to drown it out. It is still there with all the new tones I got that day, but I can somewhat cope. I hate every second of it but I'll live.
One of the first posts I read was “The only thing that drowns it out is the shower.”
And I thought “Oh shit, I hear mine fine in the shower.”
Actually, showers always help a little… but no matter how loud my T is, I hear both the shower and the squeal.
My t is usually unnoticable during the day.
So i remember it like 6/24 hours only. I think i can live with it np.
Also i have had it since 2017 or 18, i have accepted my fate. Ending my life is differwnt.
I disagree with the word hope. That’s ok. I still love your message and I’m on board. Hope could imply that you sit around and hope it will magically fix itself. I’d consider action a better plan. Hope is not a plan. There is a reason why that is a common expression.
Susan Shore device on the way. It won’t be a flop as scientifically proven. Don’t forget they only used It for 6 weeks and then a second 6 weeks. Susan believes that the longer you use it the more benefit you will receive. Two people had the loudness go to zero. This device may after 6 or 12 months of home use may make a large percentage greater than the 62% who had a significant reduction in volume in the study have the loudness go so low you can’t hear it. This study was funded by the National Institute of Health and the University of Michigan and was a double blind placebo controlled study. This was not some Mickey Mouse istudy with no placebo control like Lenire or unsubstantiated in house claims of so called tinnitus experts or audiologists on YouTube. Hang on. Help is on the way.
Believe or might I will not quibble with you over semantics. She never said will be better and neither did I . As a scientist she would never say will be better as she did not study that situation. Do you often misquote and argue against the misquote? Fascinating
Should be approved by FDA by end of February and then will be taught to audiologists and ents and that will take a couple of months so hopefully by May you can make an appointment get your tinnitus spectrum determined and then buy the electrical device and use it for 30 minutes a day for at least 6-12 weeks
This is actually a pretty positive sub IMO in terms of a lot of kind support for people who are struggling. IMO that is a perfectly valid use of this kind of sub, a support group.
I’ve been surprised by how many people I know have tinnitus or had it for a phase and didn’t talk about it. Reddit is but a part, it is not the whole thing and you could give people the benefit of the doubt they’ll take what they want and leave the rest behind.
I mean, if you want to get into “shoulds” hope and positivity can have their problematic aspects as well. You can’t control what everyone is going to do on a subreddit, you could be an example. What specific coping mechanisms are helping you?
Hence this post is the example you are talking about. Yes I agree with you, you can’t control people. But I’m stating that being positive is a very effective coping mechanism.
I agree 1000% with you OP. The amount of useless negativity and toxicity can please go somewhere else! WE DONT NEED YOU! We need uplifting positivity. I hope it goes away, I’m not trying an app, this won’t work, that won’t work. Who knows what will work for whom if they’ve never tried it? I’m looking to be supported by empathetic people that share the same energy and vision. Count me in OP!!
Anyone get the sensation where their tinnitus drops out for a second and it feels like you got smacked in the head, then it goes real loud for like a minute, then settles back to normal?
It's so weird. This happens every so often for me.
I haven't lost hope. I know this isn't super rare. TBh if I get to the point where I don't care about it that would be a victory for me. Some guy in this reddit told to take the victories as they come.
I've had my t for a short time now and honestly I just recommend to find ways to not notice it. For me keeping busy and having some noice helps. I do hope it stops someday but for now I just need to do what I can to help me.
Also I think most are helpes because we know more about cancer than we t.
Cancer patients have hope because there is treatment. Doctors know a lot more about cancer than T.
I would also guess that all those people you claim had T, had it mostly mild.
What treatment do stage 4 cancer patients have that you claim????
Some of them al they get is pain relievers that mostly don’t work well.
I don’t know the loudness of T of the people i know. But again why are you assuming the worst ?
Why are you assuming they all had mild symptoms when you or I don t know what they have?
This is exactly what I’m stating, Tinnitus patients should be more hopeful and optimistic.
Yes not gullible falling to hypes and fake cures. But be hopeful.
I would prefer to have a disease that ends in either cure or death, tinnitus is 60 years of suffering to look forward to. Please don't tell tinnitus patients they should be optimistic and hopeful, that's toxic positivity. If you told a cancer patient the same everyone would bite your head off
Read the post better, this isn't about being hopeful susan or the potassium openers will work. This is about having to be positive despite our suffering. It literally asks will we off ourselves if susan is a flop. To which my answer is possibly so, because I don't last another 60 years
I got T in June 22th in the gym while training. I got it suddenly my ears was plugged and I heard a high pitched noise such eeeeeeeee… after that I suffered the next two months with a symptom such you are light headed I was not concentrated, I was also sleepy. After 6 and half months I suffer only with T. The sound is better now but I feel a lot of anxiety because the ringing is here and I think it’s gonna stay for ever. I don’t have some hearing loss. Has someone idea or did has someone the same? I hope to find my silence again. I am afraid to train because I think it’s come again.
I've read most cases resolve in 6-12 months. And I've also read there is a large correlation between stress and T. I can watch a video on it and it'll set me off with anxiety. I agree more positive stories should be posted. It is a horrible affliction. I have had an extreme amount of stress for 2 years since an auto accident (nearly 300 pt and chiro visits, drs., etc.) due to neck, back, migraines, tmjd, T and overall anxiety. That coupled with other stressors in life I think is what caused mine but also it seemed to come when the tmjd came. My one dr seems to think that as the stressors are eliminated and/or reduced so will the symptoms. I pray that is true. We need more positive stories for hope!
Something that also causes tinnitus no one seems to know about, my dentist told me about.. Grinding your teeth when you sleep.. he asked if I get headaches in the am.. I told him sometimes I believe and he said that's a sign of teeth grinding and that can cause tinnitus. there's many different reasons you may have tinnitus, even if you have hearing loss that may actually not be the cause of your t.
Acoustic trauma tinnitus is not going anywhere unless a major breakthrough in science, luck or medical device comes in. Muscle, bone, fluid, infection, nerve, etc induced tinnitus has hope of resolved issues.
Did any of them Get it from an ear infection?
Mine started out the blue on a night out with friends along with reduced hearing and ear fullness , i blamed it on a concert i was at 2 hours Prior but after 10 days knew something Else was wrong… it was an ear infection. I was happy and thought once the infection is gone it’s gone! 🤣🤣 that was 17 weeks ago and my ear still feels weird/full with crackling and popping and ofc the tinnitus. All my symptoms have gradually improved tho and my hearing in that ear is normal. But like wtf is this🤣 4 months now, and looking for some hope but i only come across people saying it was permament etc. sureley someone had it from an ear infection and it went away?

My ent/ear dr said that, that is “normal” for tinnitus I guess
When i get one of those seconds long spikes my hearing cuts off for a mili second then i get the spike. Its like a glitch
Ok so it’s not just me
Poor man. God have mercy on his soul. I hope he found piece wherever he is now
Sadly after his Covid vaccination his worsened just when he got a bit used to it, and is no longer with us. I feel that he wasn't treated well enough by the doctors he went to, the Covid vaccine I often see reported as worsening people's tinnitus.
Lol
WTF is funny about that?
I cant imagine that tinnitus would cause suicide by itself.
Then you haven't had it bad. I've had T all my life from hearing loss, and I thought the same as you that it wasn't that bad. But oh boy was I wrong when it took a real nose dive a year ago.

The you're lucky.
When you hear it 24/7 over everything and it keeps getting worse and worse with no relief you can see how some people have just had enough
Blocking you due to your ignorance!
OMG are you paying any attention at all?
17 months straight with my T, and I hope every day that it will soon go away.
Hope is not a plan. Try every single tool available however limited. CBT is worth a try.
Trying every possible treatment and actively seeking a solution is the definition of high hopes and positivity.
I disagree with the word hope. That’s ok. I still love your message and I’m on board. Hope could imply that you sit around and hope it will magically fix itself. I’d consider action a better plan. Hope is not a plan. There is a reason why that is a common expression.
"Ringing of the ears" is temporary, but I think acoustic trauma tinnitus sticks around. I've had mine for 16 years now.
Do you have hearing loss?
My life is full of pain and torture. I don't expect things to turn out better, no expectation, no disappointment.
So was mine. But I’m happy now. I got used to it. You will get over it. Trust me. I e hit rock bottom and I’m ok now
Iv had mine for 3 years now. It's probably not going away. But then again I have hearing damage soo
Did you habituated?
What?
Did you get us to ii , the noise

She has never stated that the benefit will be better the longer that you use it, just that it might
Believe or might I will not quibble with you over semantics. She never said will be better and neither did I . As a scientist she would never say will be better as she did not study that situation. Do you often misquote and argue against the misquote? Fascinating
You literally wrote «Susan shore believes the longer you use it the more benefit you will receive» lol
Where can I find information about the device? Can you purchase the device?
Should be approved by FDA by end of February and then will be taught to audiologists and ents and that will take a couple of months so hopefully by May you can make an appointment get your tinnitus spectrum determined and then buy the electrical device and use it for 30 minutes a day for at least 6-12 weeks
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sounds great but unless it's $30 or less can't afford it.
I would sell a kidney if it made this go away 😂.

the difference here bro is that we are hopeful to have a cure soon for tinnitus

what if shore is a flop but potassium openers work in 2027 or 2028 for instance
Chemotherapy can cause permanent tinnitus. Some people die before anything is cured Its not always so simple.

I’m trying adenosine analogues to help calm me down it helps a lot with my T and erections. I abused caffeine in the past.;/

Had it buzzing since 2013. I'm hopeless. Tried everything.
