I got rid of mine for a year thanks to a comment on HN. The only reason it came back is because of my lack of discipline. It's bearable as I only notice it when I actively listen for it now. Anyway, I am sure this would just work again.So there was a comment that claimed it was related to bad neck posture. Being a keyboard warrior in my late 30s…

of course even reading a thread on tinnitus makes mine worse. The mere fact of paying attention to it makes it worse, so I have a hard time seeing how a drug is going to help much. I do wish there was something.Ostensibly mine is from high frequency hearing loss, which I absolutely have, but I now wear hearing aids and it has no measurable impact…

It's almost certainly my own damn fault I have it, but after at least 35-40 years dealing with it,tinitus sure as hell isn't my friend.Mine is high pitched, and varries in intensity but has gotten worse lately. Sometimes it makes jus existing down right hard, but usually it's only moderately annoying and I can mostly ignore it.I've tried an…

PSA that if you have pulsatile tinnitus, where you hear a sort of whooshing sound in time to your heart beat, it might be treatable by surgical intervention (such as stenting). It could even be caused by dangerous issues in the blood vessels around your ear, so it's worth getting that checked out. An MRI Angiogram (MRA/MRV) with gadolinium…

Over the years I have seen a few threads on tinnitus. I have it very mildly and doesn’t bother me much.

They are like visual tinnitus and my god do they…

I've had tinnitus for 25+ years after neglecting an ear infection while I was working overtime.It's never disappeared, but the "rain on a tent" sounds from mynoise.net, fan noise, and having a Twitch stream on in the background masks it enough that it's not bothersome during the day."Befriending" it though? Naah, I don't think so.

I have had occasional tinnitus, and once it lasted for a few months and then went away. Sometimes it appears suddenly, and I've taken vitamin B12 and magnesium and it goes away in a few hours. Vitamin D might also help according to some studies, but in my case I think it might make it worse. Not sure if placebo or not.

I really, really notice mine when meditating. You’re in a quiet room. You pause to listen to the sounds around you. You most loudly hear “eeeeeeeeeeee”.For myself, I noticed that observing it cheerfully, like “oh, hey, little whining sound!” makes it disappear into the background and I stop noticing it.

Why do we have trigger warnings for things of little importance, but not for this?You know, I wasn't focusing on my tinnitus until seeing this on page one. Thanks, OP.

If you live in an apartment where the hallway or laundry room gets industriallly vacuumed, you might get it from that too
