My tinnitus started in 2009 during an anxiety period (the worst period of my life) and basically due to an ototoxic drug for dizziness.

I had already experienced it after going to a nightclub when I was a younger but I never thought that this problem would remain forever due to a doctor prescription drug.

Not only that but in the next years I got two more ringings and now I (don't have anxiety anymore) I can live normally with tinnitus but I'm always hope to get a cure. I was a silence junkie previous to the tinnitus and now I miss the "sound" of the silence so much.

I believe that once a year I can hear again the silence but it's my brain tricking me again.



Does it also sound stronger for you after a nap or intense exercise?


Nope, it only gets stronger after some use - or abuse- of headphones with medium-high volume.
