Enter, ye who have tinnitus
Last week I was diagnosed with tinnitus, and it's pretty sucky - I have a clean, high-pitched T.V. static sound in my ears at all times. I've questioned whether my life is worth living every day since developing the ringing in my ears. I'm going to see an ENT consultant on October 8th, but 2 1/2 weeks is a long time to wait in this kind of agony.
Surely, given the numbers, it's likely that a few of my B.net brethren are afflicted. Any tinnitus sufferers care to offer a few words of advice or consolation?

I think I have a mild case of it because I hear a loud beep at night once in a while. Just avoid the "Deafening Silence", if we were to make a cliche.

1 RispondiPresent. I've had it for over a decade now. Tinnitus is often found in people who also have TMD/TMJ, as I do. The best thing I can suggest is just to avoid the quiet. I mean, like real quiet. I always have a fan running or my window open to hear traffic at night. The dead quiet is so loud...

I used to have it in my left ear, after years of dj'ing (my left ear was the one used for my headphones and so got blasted!). It was a son of a bitch for keeping me awake at night :( The good news was with rest and less exposure to lound noises, it eventually faded away. Fingers crossed for you, bro.

3 RispostePut in some headphones a listen to music mabye to drown it out

1 RispondiEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE On and off all day.

1 Rispondithe drums... i hear them. Can you hear them, that constant beating of the drums?
-
My mom has it. She has a hard time hearing certain things sometimes, but overall it doesn't seem to affect her that much. Certainly not enough to "question whether life is worth living."
-
Oh I have it. Constant soft ringing. Mostly due to nearly chronic sinus problems. I just sleep with a fan and try not to notice it. Which I don't most of the time. Though I do get sudden louder ringing that comes every so often for a few seconds. Usually when my sinus are getting to me more than usual or a big storm is rolling in.

1 RispondiI bring earplugs to loud concerts to avoid this I didn't bring any to Swans though Worth it

Sort of. I can hear a light ringing when it's very quiet or when I'm focusing on it. It used to be more attuned to it than I am now. Knock on wood, but I don't think I have it very severely, if I even do.

I've been having fluid problems, or other issues with my Eustachian tubes. My tinnitus has been all over the place, but now it seems like it is just in my left ear. At first, I was told to quit the headphones and coffee. Then I had to take nasal spray for two weeks. Nothing helped. I want to try draining any fluid, but they would probably be sick of seeing me again.
-
I had it for a couple days from stress

5 RisposteI've had it about the last three years. My hearin started to go after about a month of it. Gotta wear hearing aides now. Started when I was 24. Is it super hard to deal with? Yes but you get used to it. But I'm not gonna pretend like its not a regular thing that it bothers me. Not to start a war about whose is worse but my ringing is particularly bad compared to how others I have met describe their ringing. You're life is worth living dude

When there are no sounds prevalent, my ears ring.

3 RisposteI have it in my left ear. I only hear it when I try and listen for it most of the time.

I don't see how treebeard would help :) Serious answer: No

Right ear for over the past 25 years. I hear it now only because you made me think about it. Seriously though, after a while you really don't notice it. It's just there. Mine is caused by fluid that builds up in the Eustachian tube. No idea why, but it developed in my late 20's. I have had a couple tubes put in and the fluid drained, which only seems to last about 18 months, then the tube fall out and the process repeats itself, back to half deaf and ringing on the right side. Stupid, tiny little tube costs hundreds of dollars to have put in (and can be done in less than a minute), so I just live with it. My Dad had it, but his was hereditary, His whole family, all the men had it and many passed it down. I'm adopted, so mine is from a different source. Probable allergy/infection, but no idea which one causes fluid to build up behind my eardrum and Eustachian tube.
