Poll Do You Have Tinnitus?

[asadafagahajakal]

24/7/52. For probably 30+yrs. never stops. I don't always notice it though. But just reading this, it...

Its the worst when its like 3 tones at once and they try to one up each other. Right when you wanna sleep too.

It's always been a loud buzzing sound for me.

 

[Ronin]

Yep, fairly much.

Usually doesn't disturb me unless I notice it contrasting the silence &/or am trying to sleep and Just Can't. Ack. Someone stop that noise. Cranky babies need their sleep. & Low tolerance for certain types of low-tones/hushed-tones but repetitive sounds if I can't get rid of them.

I had a lot of severe ear infections when I was a kid, most of them before I was 5 years old. I suppose it could have been from that, but then what caused me to have so many of those? Trauma to the head from my abuser most likely. Or maybe just a general feeling of being a victim.

I have always heard high frequency sounds in my ears and when my pain goes up even from childhood the ringing would get louder and make it tough to understand what is being said.

Pretty much all the time... non stop tinnitus for me.

Started a couple years ago, had to get a noise machine to sleep. No head injuries, no physical abuse, it's not listed as a common side effect of my medication, and I went for a hearing test and was told everything was right in the middle of the average range. No idea where it could have come from!

Meant to say panic comes up.

I have more or less constant tinnitus but thats hardly surprising given my background. Generally I just ignore it.

 

[DreamEater]

Face, yes. Nothing that i think messed with the ear drum directly tho. Ive ended up with migraines from...

If it's tinnitus from physical trauma the ringing will go away eventually. You should enjoy it, you'll never hear that tone again in your life after the ringing stops.

 

[whiteraven]

I do. No physical abuse history, but constant ear infections as a child.

TBI's: multiple. Years of abuse and years of doing my own damage in the form of accidents.
Add to that years of noise pollution working on deck during sound check. Try standing in front of speakers that are blowing past 120dbs while trying to work. I did that weekly for years without sound protection. No one thought about protecting our hearing back then.
I have a constant high pitch noise in the 8000Hz zone. Usually only gets to me at night. I've also started getting a low pitched hum occasionally in the 90-100 Hz range.
