YOU ARE NOW AWARE OF YOUR TINNITUS.

THE GAME ROUND 2.

Yeah man, doesn't really bother me though.

I herd weed works great for tinnitus...

>>6072269

I've had it as long as i remember, sounds like a flashbang going off in CS:S, just super-high pitched ringing. I can't sleep at night without a fan, otherwise I don't really hear it that often.

The other thing is, sorry to burst your bubble, but tinnitus only grows more and more severe as time goes on, because it's not an inner-ear condition, it's a neurological condition, your brain is picking up sound that isn't there. Don't go to concerts, loud clubs, and definitely don't fire high-powered firearms without ear protection, or else you'll accelerate the degradation.

If I do, it's not noticeable.

My ears are prone to a lot of horrible shit though, so the odds of me getting it eventually are probably fair.

Yeah, I ignore it most of the time.
I was noticing it when I say the thread.

Hate having broken ears.

>doesn't understand where tinnitus comes from.

I've had it for years, however it's not as bad as it used to be. During my teenage years i used to hear that high pitched noise at least 3 times a week on random days. These days I hear it about once a month.

I just read up on this on wikipedia and realise I have it bad.
I always listen to my iPod at like FULL VOLUME.

DOES THIS MEAN I'M GOING TO BE DEAF /R9K/?

sometimes if its dead quiet i can hear ringing, if i focus on it which i do it becomes quite noticeable. i think i might have a little bit tinnitus... i don't know, most of the time there is enough ambient noise that i don't think there is anything wrong. other times i think i have problems. i've tried all sorts of hearing tests and my hearing range is quite normal afaik.

>>6072346

Try clenching your jaw real tight, notice the change of frequency, intensity of the ringing?

>>6072384
how could you not realize that was going to damage your hearing?

only happens when it's quiet, which for me is not very often because I listen to music 24/7.

FUCK YOU OP

NOW I'M HEARING MY TINNITUS

GOD DAMN IT

I remember once I went to a loud concert and spent a lot of time holding my ear to a speaker (I was tripping hard). Then I left and the ringing didn't stop for DAYS

>grow up in NYC
>easily sleep through the sounds of car alarms, police sirens, fire engine sirens and jackhammers
>visit family's country house
>only sounds are crickets chirping
>tinnitus keeps me awake all night whenever I try to sleep

Feels bad, man.

I'm not too sure if I've actually got it or not still. I used to have it, but it seems to have just gone away.

Has this happened to anyone else ? :S

>>6072278

Eh, I was aware of it before since I posted this thread about it. Talking about not-surprisingly doesn't help it fade very well but whatever.

>>6072302

I actually have no idea about that, can anyone support this? I haven't smoked weed for a month-ish, and at that time I was in an unawareness-state.

I learned to zone it out when I read, or otherwise engage myself in other activities. I concentrate on breathing when I need to sleep.

This shit seems more common than I thought.

>>6072448

I want to move to a loud place now. I can sleep through random noise easily but THAT FUCKING SQUEAKING IS THE WORST

You know realize that those hearing test during elementary school were government experiments to test new ways to control society without them knowing it. Those who hear this ringing sound are hearing government radio signals being secretly sent out to the nation to buy consumer goods.

I have tinnitus.

SLEEPING WITH THE FAN ON IN THE MIDDLE OF FALL AUGH YEAH

Happens frequently, where I forget that it's there, and I suddenly hear something, even though it's silent, and I realize what it is...

/sigh, not to mention I have all kinds of other actual ear problems...

>>6072538
I sleep with the fan all the time as well.
All year.

implying tinnitus is permanent

The fan helps but not always enough. I almost want to start sleeping with the radio on. Some NPR would distract me as well as bore me to sleep, perfect!

>>6072649

Then how the fuck do you get rid of it faggot?

I have it very mildly. However, I sleep with a fan because white noise calms me and otherwise I can hear every little sound ever. I've listened to entire conversations across the hallway with my door closed and known what episode of what show someone was watching before I went downstairs.

However, if I focus on it, I can sometimes hear some very faint ringing. And if I put my ear against something soft, like a pillow, one day every month or so, I can hear ringing.

9mm aspirin, the cure to all of life's ailments.
