MY EARS KEEP RINGING FOR REASONS I DON'T UNDERSTAND AND I CAN'T PLAY VIDEOGAMES BECAUSE OF IT

No blood pressure whatsoever,

My god... he is gone...

Fuck's sake, now I gotta explain to the arch-lych why I need another relocation within the same month.

maybe it's just wax
if there's enough of it to muffle your hearing, the ringing can get super loud
if it's not that, you're kinda fucked
don't wear headphones immediately after showering btw

MY EARS KEEP RINGING FOR REASONS I DON'T UNDERSTAND

you know exactly what caused this

I don't even own headphones.

But now that you reminded me, I do have some excessive wax issues I forgot to take care of. Thanks for reminding me. I don't think it'll help since the ringing is very consistently and equally loud in both ears, but I should still deal with it regardless.

Didn't mean to reply to you with , but if that's a serious post - I do not.

Ears ringing cure:
Place your palms over your ears with your fingertips touching the back of your skull at the top of the neck.
Drum gently on your skull with your fingertips for several seconds.
Put your hands down. Ears fixed.

Troon thread

itchy ear

put my pinky in it and rub it around

apparently damaged something and have had tinnitus in that ear ever since

I want to fucking kill myself

Tried it. Thought it was full of shit, but I did feel like I started hearing clearer after I did that. Still ringing thoughever. I don't think it can be fixed at this point, porbably actual tinnitus, though I have no fucking clue where it came from.

tinnitus is scary

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Troon thread

It is a side effect of using headphones for years, it will NEVER go away, get used to it or go insane, the trick is to NOT think about it.

Alternatively you might have high blood pressure, go check that up is more dangerous than just an annoyance, white spots on your vision and a headache in the back of your head are other signs of high blood pressure.

Do you have jaw pain as well? Or occasionally feel like your jaw is locking up just beneath your ear?
If so, go see a fucking dentist now before it's too late

Stop eating sugar, fatass.

enjoy your high blood pressure then

NTA but sometimes I get jaw pain after I eat a meal. It gets exacerbated if I drink something cold during it too. Usually takes about 10 minutes or so to go away. It doesn't happen too often.

you're fucked nigga
RIP anon

Dentist, NOW
I don't know what they can do for you because I waited until that shit just naturally "went away" or so I thought, but hopefully they can do more for you than they can for me. Which so far has been send me to get scan after scan after scan done in different places
I can't get this fucking ringing out of my left ear and it's making me want to die

pick up the phone anonymous.

Stop clenching your jaw.

Myofuntional therapy, and when you see one ask them about tongue ties

I haven't used headphones in ages, and the severe ringing started only a few weeks ago. Can it develop in a delayed manner?

Yep, that's tinnitus alright, enjoy the never ending ringing, it is here to stay.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

first time?

Isn't tinitus incurable?

Yup. Should've listened to volume warning your phones give you

I also have scoliosis

Your cervical vertebrae are most likely fucked, which is what causes your tinnitus.
t. same problem, you get used to it you actually don't, I suggest listening to ambient noise or specific kinds of instruments like vibraphones, they usually drown the ringing.
And go see a doctor, nigger.

That's the thing, it only got bad a few weeks ago and I haven't used headphones on loud settings for well over 7 years.

And go see a doctor, nigger.

And what the fuck will he tell me about my INCURABLE condition? That's assuming I can even find a doctor that gives a flying fuck in this shitehole of a city.

You cheeky cunt

Early symptoms of tetanus. At some point you stepped on a rusty nail and now you've got a horrific disease that'll cause your jaw to lock up and your back to start arching backwards like you're doing yoga or some shit. Your best bet is to get a hacksaw and cut off both your feet. Be sure to take some kind of blood thinner before you get started though as it will help drain the infected blood while you amputate your infected feet

ears ringing is from bad posture

What kind of subhuman don't have the tetanus shot?

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life, have fun

brap

This actually helped. Didn’t make it go away but it got duller. I have it since 2004 thank you anon

stop gooning and sleep better

Isn't tinitus incurable?

Your brain learns to filter it out/focus on other shit or you go insane.
If you got a broken noisy fan the eeeeeee stops and if you turn it off the eeeeeee comes back.
White noise isn't a real fix but let's you get your mind off it.

this only relieves it for like half a minute at best

My tinnitus went away after ~5 years, but I had stopped wearing ear buds like 3 years before the tinnitus even started and hadn't done anything else that would damage my hearing during those 8 years.

People who don't want to fall victim to big pharma's conspiracy to give everyone autism by getting shots filled with mercury and liquified lithium batteries. It's like I tell all my patients. If getting shots was the solution to curing diseases there would be no disease and acupuncture would cure every single disease out there since it's basically the equivalent of getting shots all over your body. The best medicine is good old amptutation and blood letting. If those can't cure the disease, nothing can.

this, it's only really an issue in dead silence or when trying to sleep. Which a fan helps.

A real medic has at the very least 1000 leeches.

I’ve had tinnitus for basically my entire life, I can’t remember a time when I haven’t. I never listened to loud music or did anything to my knowledge that would have caused it.

I didn’t even know it wasn’t normal to hear ringing in silence until I got to college and someone told me about it. Never bothered me until I learned something was “wrong.”

I have TMJD so that’s probably a linked cause, but it really only flares up when my anxiety kicks in. Thankfully it’s minimal enough to where I can’t hear it unless a room is virtually silent.

It is very hard to talk to people about. Nobody ever believes you when you describe how annoying it can be at times, and I’ve had a few instances where people just tell me that it’s my fault and probably deserve it anyways.

tranime faggot is in pain

Then I am at peace

It is only your fault, and you definitely deserve it.

I've had it a long as I can remember.

don't wear headphones immediately after showering btw

why?

That's the thing, it only got bad a few weeks ago and I haven't used headphones on loud settings for well over 7 years.

Are you usually in loud environments? If not it's probably what that other anon said. Going to a doctor wont cure your tinnitus but it'll at least prevent you spine from being further fucked

POSTURE CHECK

your fucking nerd necks can aggravate this by increasing pressure

vitamin D3 + K2 + B12 + Ginseng
DO NOT USE GINKGO BILOBA!!!

Traps moisture in your ear and increases risk of bacterial or fungal infections.
At least let it dry for a few minutes.

tranime

anime website

I had TMJ caused by a wisdom tooth that grown rogue horizontally in the back of my jaw. It caused headaches, ear pain, ringing, and my jaw would pop constantly.
Had surgery, removed the tooth, everything went away.
Get a xray and if you see a wisdom tooth in any position that's not normal, get that shit removed. I know vee thinks wisdom tooth removal is some jewish psy-op but it will give you shit once you hit your mid 30s.

If I had horrible tinnitus then one minute of relief would be worth it.

2025

not even a sliver of hope of a cure

Fuck science

I remember listening to this researcher in this subject on NPR back in like 2007 or something say pretty bluntly the only cure is suicide for people who are very bad off. How the FUCK haven’t we found a cure? My dad has it badly, but he has this little ear piece made that matches frequencies or some shit but it didn’t cure it whatsoever. He knows a guy that shot at a deer with a rifle in his fucking truck and ruined his ears. Guy has apparently burst into the ER quite a number of times demanding Xanax.

Can a doctor help prevent tinnitus from at least getting worse with age?

t. 20 something who has had it his entire life

Fast brother

At least you don't have hyperacusis.

went to an anime con 10+ years ago

they had a rave

no one told me the audio at these things is mixed horribly and rapes your ears and that you should be wearing earplugs

now my right ear has been ringing ever since

I HATE WEEABOO DJS

Possibly, yes. Anything can be alleviated if caught at a young age. I would see a ENT doctor and have them check you over. Your ringing could be from something completely unrelated to noise damage. If it is noise damage, that is not repairable, but it can be halted and helped to some degree with routine based treatments or possibly some sort of medication idk

you should wear earplugs at any concert, rave, or basically any music event anon. That's not specific to anime conventions at all. I bet you listen to music/game audio at unsafe levels even.

Literally the only thing I can think of that would have caused it would be using q-tips to clean my ears when I was young. My TMJ is very minor so I’m not sure if it’s that.

It’s very minor, but when combined with my anxiety disorder it can give me serious panic attacks sometimes.

I'm a fucking shut in and I was a retarded high schooler, how was I supposed to know that
My dad is a hippie faggot who ruined his ears at concerts and he never told me shit until I mentioned my ears were already ringing to him
fucking useless parents holy fuck

I cannot cure your tinnitus stop sending anons to me

Kinda related, but I felt like I had an stroke, along with feeling like I had alzheimer, but I got a brain radiography along with another study, and apparently I am pretty healthy, and now I am starting to feel better (though that could had been because some piles), pretty weird huh?

I've done some weird stuff like that before and it helps. It's so weird how stuff like that helps.

On completely unrelated note based on picrel. Would catgirls have worse tinnitus because of the range of their hearing allowing to perceive even higher pitch frequencies that human cannot hear?

It's not your fault and you don't deserve it. I don't think mine is my fault either.

Because you had access to the internet, gigabrain. My parents were dipshits too, but I had the foresight to not assume they knew everything and did everything right. You're responsible for your own well-being anon.

I live through life partially deaf and people just think I'm ignoring them. Like if I am chewing anything or personally speaking, I can't hear anything else.

Nobody ever told you to bring earplugs/muffs in a rave?

You will never be a woman website

unironically go spend a weekend by yourself in the woods with no electronics and your tinnitus will disappear.

dont listen to sneedbeard

but I had the foresight to not assume they knew everything and did everything right

my parents physically abused me into believing they were gods and it wasn't until I was old enough to punch my dad in the face in self defense when he had me pinned down that the power balance in the house shifted
he still claims I "sucker punched" him
fuck no, do you think I've ever been around anyone of intelligence my entire life?
all my dad ever told me was that I needed to behave because I was "representing the family" meanwhile our family is a completely fucked up abusive shithole

Step 1: Clasp your hands over your ears
Step 2: Rhythmically tap your fingers against the top/side of your head
Step 3 (Optional): Hum a little bit
Step 4: Remove hands

tinitus is curable now fyi
"Lenire bimodal neuromodulation"
also if its pulsing it could be a tumor or clot etc

So are you just going to blame your parents for everything or are you going to take some agency now that you're not 11?

what the fuck

uhmm when you turn 18 all your childhood trauma just vanishes mmkay it's your problem now you are completely responsible because of this arbitrary government appointed number

No, but you can either wallow in mediocrity and self pity forever or you can make something of yourself. Nobody is going to care about your sob story if you don't overcome it, not even you.

you should care

Make me.

tinitus is curable now fyi

"Lenire bimodal neuromodulation"

WTF?

ummm why do school shootings keep happening??? I can't figure it out durr

that is old and not that great
susan shores bimodal is the one you want

Fine, cop out like a little bitch and continue crying forever. Peace loser.

theres a lot of shit people dont warn each other about. always makes me chuckle when people get offended if i prioritize their safety. little babies always in a hurry to grow up and get scars.

why are you still talking to your parents

Games have colorblind options

Games have arachnophobia options

Games don't have tinnitus options

Why does the grenade have to make the game go EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE? Just make everything sound deep and distorted like your ears are underwater if you want to diminish the player's hearing.

High-pitched metallic noises suck too.

My secret? An air purifier. I got a cheapo one off Amazon and it makes a moderate amount of sound on the middle setting, so I typically have it going basically all the time, day and night. Half because it drowns out the ringing pretty well, and half because I honestly forget to turn it off. It's especially important to have it on at night, but if I forget to have it on for some reason I use my phone or a TV to put on nature/rain sounds which are ridiculously easy to find on Youtube and other streaming services. Just be careful about the thunderstorm ones, they sometimes have loud cracks of thunder that can wake you. Also things like noisy fans (box fans seem to be popular, I kind of miss having one) are also good options.

its pretty good idea to just have it running for health anyway anon
make sure to clean it too

My tower fan makes a nice humming white noise that I enjoy, keeps me nice, calm and fresh.

Nu, I spend most of my time in my more or less quiet home. Going to a doctor could be a neat idea, except I live in Ukraine, and even if there was no risk of getting yoinked off the streets to fight on the front line with a collapsable shovel and an empty romanian humanitarian aid chicken meat can, there's still the problem of there being no doctors who can do shit about a fucked spine. I have an infection in my sinuses that constantly leaks discharge into my throats for years and I gave up even hoping to cure it because nobody in this star-forsaken shithole can do anything about it.
If it's a tumor, is there anything else I should look out for? Inability to sleep, abnormal irritability, fatigue, etc?

If it's a tumor, is there anything else I should look out for?

go to a doctor

ITS YOUR FAULT GOYIM

It's common knowledge average parent is an utter failure at their job
One needs to only look at average person to tell that
Civilization starts with parenthood

go to a doctor

I hate this advice because I have terrible health insurance because I am poor as fuck and live in America where a simple check up for a cold costs me 140 goddamned FUCKING dollars. What the fuck do you think an MRI or CT scan or X Ray or whatever the fuck they need to do to me is going to cost?

I fucking hate the healthcare industry so goddamn much. There is no correct solution. Canada might have something going with their "encourage people to just kill themselves instead" idea.

I just run fans constantly to drown it out.

What's next anon?

Oh my teeth hurt because I didn't brush them and was too busy eating junk food and smoking meth I didn't know any better :(

america

sorry for your loss
perhaps try getting refugee status in a first world country?

What's next anon?

>Oh my teeth hurt because I didn't brush them and was too busy eating junk food and smoking meth I didn't know any better :(

Unironically, which country does one go to at this point? It's all either Israel puppet states or mudslime shitholes.

People tend to take care of their teeth. My money is on them being tired all the time but never exercising or going outside.

I never brush my teeth
I have really bad adhd and can't force myself to stand there for 2 minutes doing something so tedious and boring
I haven't been to a dentist in years and found a cavity and i don't know what to do...

poor

lol
lmao
I'm not even upper middle class and I could afford to live in a hospital room for decade. Get a real job, you'll be surprised how much easier it is to get insurance to pay for you to stay alive when you meaningfully contribute to society.

Anon, I'm 33. I was like you. Still am, I'm pretty bad with brushing my teeth still. I've gotten better about it.

Two of my teeth are absolutely beyond saving and probably need to be pulled. It's probably more like three or four. I have pain when I chew food on one side of my mouth. I have a severe sensitivity to temperatures, meaning I have to drink in a very particular way or use a straw.

Go see a dentist and take better care of your teeth before it's far, FAR too late.

I'm on medicaid and would have to find a new dentist because the one my parents took me to doesn't accept it, which is even more tedious than brushing my teeth
I haven't been able to get myself to do anything productive

Just brush your teeth for christ sake, Anon. I know exactly what's going to happen to you when you turn my age if you do not build the habit right fucking NOW.

A cavity is one thing. A barely functional mouth that can't properly chew food comfortably is a whole different fucking story, believe me.

I'm already 27
the cavity I found isn't very big
I know it's terrible but I just cannot force myself to care and to do it regularly
I already spend so much time in the bathroom because adhd makes me get so bored wiping after I shit that I stay in there for hours until my phone battery runs out and I have nothing else to be distracted by, I can't stand being in the fucking bathroom any longer

found a cavity and i don't know what to do...

go to the dentist asap
the longer you wait the worse it will

The thing beeps when it wants the filter to be changed, but the display is starting to burn out because of always being on. Not a huge loss if I have to replace it eventually, hopefully with something a little stronger since I live near a fuckton of trees and pollen is pretty crazy in the spring and I have a pet that produces dander, but I'd like to get one where the filter is washable rather than needing to be replaced with an entirely new one. This one doesn't get too nasty at least, probably because it's kinda small. If anything I hope I don't get something too nice and super quiet, but too loud and I might not be able to stand it. Current one has to stay on level 2 because 3 is too noisy.

I already have a pretty nice ceiling fan above the bed, but I'm still considering buying another fan sometime for more general use, especially before summer hits. I already mentioned box fans but remembering they exist is making me seriously consider getting another. I regret not buying the ones I saw last time I was at a store, they were like 10 bucks.

the cavity I found isn't very big

You are extremely fucking lucky, anon.

Fine, don't listen to my advice. Enjoy having a nuclear warzone for a mouth in about 8 years.

cannot force myself to care

get some therapy
move the fuck away from your parents
its not adhd(like 90% of people diagnosed with adhd have c-ptsd)
its c-ptsd
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_post-traumatic_stress_disorder

How do I find a dentist that accepts medicaid and is close to where I live?

by googling it

I did therapy for like a year and it didn't do shit, the girl my doctor sent me to was completely incapable and I got bounced around between multiple people right from the start
"getting help" is a complete joke, no one who says this has ever actually tried it

It's shitty american healthcare that becomes my modivation for taking care of my health. I have insurance but it's so fucking bad despite taking 2 dollars per week off my paycheck.
Meanwhile browns can walk into the ER for a tummyache and tax payers foot the bill.

young age

Oh thanks anon these "things" popped up when I was in my last year of high school that was nearly 35+ years ago now

life altering problem appears

guess i'll just ignore it instead of getting help

i don't get it

Semi-related: allergy induced tinnitus is a thing, apparently. I wasn't happy to learn about that.

Securing a safe environment requires strategic attention to the patient's economic and social ecosystem. The patient must become aware of her own resources for practical and emotional support as well as the realistic dangers and vulnerabilities in her social situation. Many patients are unable to move forward in their recovery because of their present involvement in unsafe or oppressive relationships. In order to gain their autonomy and their peace of mind, survivors may have to make difficult and painful life choices. Battered women may lose their homes, their friends, and their livelihood. Survivors of childhood abuse may lose their families. Political refugees may lose their homes and their homeland. The social obstacles to recovery are not generally recognized, but they must be identified and adequately addressed in order for recovery to proceed.

haha, time to become homeless and destitute to escape my psychological trauma!

Most tinnitus research suggests that the majority of tinnitus is from some kind of irritation caused by the jawbone or muscles surrounding the inner-ear, whether from some cause like TMJ disorders (themselves pretty poorly understood) or some other mystery cause

All we really do know about tinnitus is that it's some kind of electrical misfire along auditory pathways, "objective tinnitus" or a noise from the body that the doctor can hear too with listening instruments is so scarce it almost doesn't exist, and that having jaw and muscle disorders exacerbates it if not outright causes it

Gotta roll with the punches anon, that's what getting old is all about, look at my fucking knee, that motherfucker worked perfectly until a few weeks back, now it hurts a bit sometimes, surely a little taste of what is to come when I get older.

see a doctor

Interesting.

go see doctor about tinnitus

"go see a specialist, btw that'll be $150"

go see specialist

"Well all these scans and tests we did tell us some interesting information, but there's no way to cure it, only alleviate the symptoms. Would you like to purchase this specialized ear piece for fifty thousand dollars? No? Ah well, too bad. Anyways, that'll be ten thousand dollars for this visit. No need to tip!"

The fag is just trolling, leave him be or bully him in return.

but there's no way to cure it,

WRONG

Now I feel like buying some lemon juice since I haven't bought it in year at least.
Your marketing worked better than any ad on the internet.

Name the cure to tinnitus right now

its been a thing for a few years now

Turn down the volume fucking dumbass

headphones can cause ear infections that can do that too.
My ears are constantly itching due to sweaty ears.

Retard.

have eustacian tube dysfunction due to reasons

basically any stress or even atmospheric pressure causes the EEEEEE, plus minor discomfort in the area

on the plus side i can tell when its gonna rain i guess...

treating it?

it's from a surgery i had many years ago and my sinuses etc are just perma fucked up. best i can do is to massage the area under my ear / behind the jaw, or go for a walk or something if its stress induced.

Psycosomatic. Your anxiety and belief of it makes it worse. Also get ears cleaned. Normal ear rings is just basically some whistle shit of air escaping wax holes.

Actually, turn up the volume
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE

uh you know you can get surgery for it right?

i dunno, been to my ENT many times and he's never suggested anything if its possible. its not noticable most of the time, honestly the worst is when ive just finished intense gaymen and take off my headphones for the instant auditory flashbang.

Anons… I’ve had tinnitis since I was 8

you mean medicare? pretty sure medicaid only covers you til a certain age.

the reason is because you're a gay
it's you're gaydar going off, because you'e a gay
faggot retarde

go to a doctor go to a doctor go to a doctor

ok well I did and after putting me in a soundproof cage that made my tinnitus feel like unironic hell on earth all they told me was that my hearing loss was normal for my age. I was 30 at the time and my hear WAS excellent.
I CAN'T HEAR THE BEEPS AND THE BOOPS BECAUSE THE RINGING IS SO FUCKING LOUD.
they sent me home with some lipo flavonoid samples which felt like a placebo. it's gotten """""better""""" over the years but more so presumably because I stopped smoking. they cant hear the ringing, they can't tell what's causing it and they sure as fuck can't cure it.

no, medicare is for old people
medicaid is for anyone who makes below a certain amount of money

Did the tinnitus come in suddenly and intensely, or did it come in subtly at first?
Do you remember what activity you were doing at the time you noticed it?

I've had mild tinnitus for most of my life but a severe case of it came suddenly when I was smoking weed. Despite smoking for almost a decade without any issues, this time it felt like someone flipped a switch and every subsequent time I tried smoking I got the same result.

Hmm, well I'm going to say the words you don't want to hear, you should probably try not smoking weed.
It's also possible these symptoms are psychosomatic and would fade with time, but idk, I'm just a guy on the internet and brain science is still a bit of a mystery to us human beings.

there are exceptions for young people with disabilities
t. disabled neet on medicare

Yeah I've already gave it up years ago.
Thanks anyways. If they couldn't figure it out I doubt anyone could.
It's gotten manageable now but I'm just gonna keep praying it goes away eventually.

this is why you should never smoke weed

smoking weed is fine, being a gay is not, simple as

smoking weed and sucking dick is amazing tho

tinnitus fine and unnoticeable 99% of the time because I've tuned it out

people start talking about it

instantly hear it again and loud

please see the second part of

stop wearing headphones

Have you served in the military? You can get that disability pay if the ringing is bad enough.

>Your tinnitus isn't service related.
