Can people close to you hear your tinnitus as well?
I don't believe so. Maybe I should buy a stethoscope and check. I've been referred to an ENT but the waitlist is stupidly long, in Canada.

It took me 3 months to get into ENT here, and while they are very kind - it added nothing for me personally (i.e. we don't have a good solution for tinnitus, here are some things to avoid, etc etc). I hope your visit bears more fruit!
I have had several audiologists begin their speech of “as you may know tinnitus is from damage to the ear due to loud … “, well mine is from Covid. I read about a study a few years ago that focused on shocking the tongue and its nice someone followed up on it. They described one year of relief post treatment. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/10/201015173126.h... Bimodal neuromodulation combining sound and t…
Anyone else speculating whether the shots somehow lowered our overall immune systems?
Reverse engineering time!
Seems basic enough that this device should be available without the whole "go to a Lenire doctor" consultation, but I guess people gotta get paid.
People don't gotta get paid. Open source must reign.

I don't have tinnitus, but I do have this thing where when I'm falling asleep, my eyes (despite being closed and in a dark room) will start to feel like they are looking at a brighter and brighter light. This is very irritating for me. For that I usually open them really briefly and imagine some kind of equilizer level-set thing happening and that makes it dark behind my eyes again. I wonder if there is a way to do i…
You may be experiencing this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia I have read a few anecdotal experiences of people allowing these kinds of hallucinations to continue and they have reported that they can become quite vivid and even interactive. Maybe try waving your arms around when this happens to see if it goes away? That should indicate if it's sleep-related or not.

Does everyone not have ringing in their ears when they really pay attention? Or like when they are trying to go to sleep? I always thought everyone had it because I had it since childhood. Still have to this day, same intensity. During the day it does not bother me, nor do I notice it. But if I pay attention, it feels pretty loud.
Apparently 60-80 percent of people can hear a sound like a faint buzzing or hissing when inside a perfectly anechoic chamber but Tinnitus is more noticeable in regularly quiet environments.

“Silence” really does belong in quotes. I spent some time in an anechoic chamber (a few hours a day over 6 weeks) and could hear the blood flowing through my ears. It was quite strange and convinced me that true silence doesn’t exist unless you’re deaf.
One of the spookiest experiences of my life was activating a pair of noise-canceling headphones in a room that was already quiet and immediately being able to hear my neck vertebrae touching. I snatched them off my head like they were a spider.

I also had it before but the 3rd vaccine shot amplified it maybe 3-5x for a few months, it was like a siren when trying to sleep, thank god it back to its normal level which I forget about most of the time.
I developed tinnitus two days after my third shot. Never had it before, and it hasn’t gone away since that day.
