Tinnitus . . . how are you dealing with it?

[Kar98]

I really don't notice.
Then this thread pops up.

Y'all ain't helping.

MEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

 

[FireInTheWire]

I don't have this issue a lot. There are times when it's worse. I'm not gonna lie. I'm hard on my ears. I like loud music. Sometimes I notice it more when blood pressure is up... But I still have good hearing. I can hear coyotes far away... I can hear the train 7mi away... I can still hear that noticeable high pitch a CRT TV puts off when it's on.

LOL, exactly.

That's what my tinnitus sounds like.

That's what my tinnitus sounds like.

Mine comes on like a tuning fork, first in one ear, then the both.

And like Vaquero, seeing this thread popup a lot lately has been reminding me of that ringing quite a lot.

Tinnitus usually doesn’t overpower the surrounding auditory inputs; its the distraction/focus on the ringing that sometimes interferes with processing other sounds.

Mine does this too. For no reason... I'll just be chilling... next thing you know, ringggg... I'd say it happens about twice over a 3 month span.

You’re lucky. I’m daily or even several times a day.

Well... I'm not posting on this thread anymore. It just happened.

Oh look... a squirrel....

Look up "vocal fry". That's the one you're talking about. Everything sounds like it's a question? And the voice is squished, high pitched and warbling?

A perfect example of that aggravating but very common sound in young females these days: Alexander Ocasio-Cortez.

Heard her speech this morning and, along with the idiotic content, the aggravating frequency component I mentioned is evident in her voice.

After I started wearing hearing aids for awhile, my tinnitus went away, even when I am not wearing them.

Gee. I'm sorry I missed it.

Just note it in your spreadsheet...

Tinnitus.
May be one of the uses for medical cannabinoids.
Actually getting studied.

The CBD oil for sale at the gun shows...the seller claims it helps, although just anecdotally.
Mine varies a lot from day to day with no apparent exacerbating nor alleviating activities or factors.

Anybody tried the CBD for sale (somehow legally) all over our state???

pretty much constant for me.

I hate vocal fry.

 

[wileycoyote]

damage was caused by cheap low-NRR muffs, taking muffs off to talk just as the guy in the next firing line let one off, chainsaws, lawn mowers, hammering metal, running heavy equipment, loud music via headphones, turning off smoke detectors when wifey burns food, on and on

presently use: high-NRR plugs&muffs, suppressors, "what?", closed caption subtitling, fan white noise, not thinking about it...

long term prognosis: being in my 60s, the hum will end when i do, in just a very few short years

if i only knew then....

Our brains are wonderfully adaptable. There is an internal mechanism which minimizes any constant or repetitive external stimulus for us, so that we can better notice our environments.

Isn't tinnitus just a failure of that mechanism? It seems to me that the mechanical or biological source of the sound is always there, but we're supposed to mentally filter it out.

Please, someone tell me you've discovered a miraculous cure for this condition.
Maybe something that reduces effects by 50-80%?

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Extremely loud music stops it.

 

[toddnjoyce]

Bourbon. Lots of high quality bourbon.
