tiastronauta, Cancer is cancer, AIDS is AIDS..Only people who have them can tell how they feel and suffer,no one has the right to try to minimize the suffering of another person..Tinnitus has afected me in every single aspect of my life.

the people who watch this vid hear it for 20 seconds, the people that have it hear it for the rest of their life

Im only 24 and have it....Its constantly freaking ringing! Its my fault though, I used to always turn my ipod on blast and was always listneing to it :-(.

yes, it sucks, i got this on a moderate level but am using natural techniques and trying to avoid all loud noises altogether as far as i can and use earplugs when i cant. we weill get a cure one day hopefully. if you dont have this stay the heck away from loud clubs/bars concerts and old deaf peoples houses who turn up the tv/radio too loud and any loud machinery unless you have a good set of earplugs to use. even use um for the vacuum cleaner. having tinnitus/hyperacusis is worse than use plugs

ive got tinnitus ut sum times i get a loud high pitched noise asweel that lasts 4 5 seconds when that happens i freak out and then afta its back to the ringing 4 the rest of my god damn life x

yea you just gotta be careful. but you dont have to over worry. for me, i only wear ear plugs when im jamming w/ my band. and i never jam without earplugs, it is not worth it.

Its good to hear you have fought it! I cant imagine what it must be like. Every single time im exposed to loud audio now i wear the custom plugs and they work every time without fail, i always carry them in my pockets with my wallet and phone, theyre that essential to me from now

[anundecidedarm]

thats really good to hear. for me it took months and months and months for it to quiet down. it was so depressing. and its still here, but no where near as it was when i got it 2 years ago. it was sooo bad in the beginning. but now its at a good level where im chill about it.

I got tinnitus after playing a gig, drummer. It lasted for 5 horrific days and i really believe that was it, life fucked, my career as a musician would never be the same. but on the 6th day i woke up with it completely gone. I felt like a man who had jumped of a plane with no parachute and landed in the hot tub of the playboy mansion. Seriously, i went and got some ear plugs custom made at the hospital for £180. Completely worth it, never looked back since. Not stopped gigging since.
