Change in T sound, help!!

[Ravks]

Hi everyone,

I had T start in Sept 2022 which I managed to live with / habituate. I reached out to people on this wonderful group and learnt tips to help manage it. The sound I had was a low ringing sound and intermittent sound of a steam train which is the best way to describe it.

The steam train sound this week is constant now and higher pitch. The sound feels intrusive and feel like I am back in 2022 when T stared again. At night I mange to sleep I have three little ones to tire me out so with a podcast playing I fall asleep however initially I noticed the sound and sense of panic and anxiety begins. The pulsing / steam train sound is annoying.

If anyone has similar sound or any tips on how to get through this. It all seems to much at the moment with other things going on in my life.

I can't imagine it being like this for the rest of my days 😭😔

Thank you for reading guys 🙏🏽 💜

Ravks, I looked at your earlier posts and remember you.

You’ve done it once so you know you will do it again. Maybe have a look at the earlier responses to your original post to give you heart.

Remember how strong you, in fact, are. You’ve had a young child and got through tinnitus, so you will overcome it this time.

Thank you Happyrosie, I remember previously when you responded to my post when T started 💜. Yes I it did once and can do so again, just starting again with feelings of anxiety takes me back to how hard it was initially, however I know I can do it again 💪🏽Thank you very much for the positive words ☺️

Having suffered for 20 years, the best you can do is, ignore t. It will be there but dont give it any excuse. You have three wonderful kids that are so much more important. Giving the t less profile will effectively reduce it. It sounds hard, it is.

Thank you Spurdog1 I agree I have to learn to ignore it and focus on the now and my surroundings 😁 I appreciate your response . I recall your reply to my posts two years ago.

Lots of best wishes to you and your family 🙏🏽💜

Hi, I am going through a similar thing myself right now. I got T when I was 17, now 30, and this summer it has changed. I have a very high pitched noise in my left ear - it's like a dentist drill and I hear it over everything. Although this has happened to me before and eventually died down back to the base line I was used to, this time it isn't quite going - I have had some good days but then it suddenly goes back up again. I too feel like I am right back to square one. My anxiety is crazy, I am struggling to eat and be motivated to do just about anything. I am genuinely so upset that it's gotten worse, I worry about the future. I just really hope that I can navigate this change and eventually habituate to it - or, better yet, it calms down too and I get some reprieve from it. Having tinnitus is so incredibly hard, and I have so much empathy for everyone else here who is going through the same things.

I've had T for many years. The sound changes sometimes but never goes away. After too many years hiding from the sound in different ways, I decided I had had enough of feeling victimized by it and since I couldn't change the sound, I decided to change my attitude about it and welcome it. Not that its a pleasant sound, but its always been there. After trying everything and finally accepting that its not going away, try different ways of reacting to it. I am honestly pleased by the sound now, because its made me stronger and more resilient. Its probably done the same for everybody on the forum. You have 3 little ones, that's quite a gift. You can do it.

Thank you for your reply and sharing your experience I am pleased to hear how you have managed to positively approach this and something I could learn from and adopt myself. For my little ones I must go on they are true blessings and I will find a way to accept and cope.

I'm in way to an ENT appt which I have been back and forth for two years no positive results they do t have a clue 🤣

Lots of appreciation for your Input 💜🙏🏽
