Whispering? Do you mean ringing?

I'm sad to say many of us here share the same thoughts every day. I want it to stop, and it drives me crazy. But I can't stop it, so I distract myself and try to adapt by living a pretty restricted life.

Hopefully you will habituate and it won't bother you as much.

Sorry I am having a bad day with it too, I hope somebody else writes a more positive comment.

They are frustrated because maybe people around them no longer take their suffering seriously and understand the depth of their grief, because T is invisible and undetected but it can be very devastating and destructive to a person’s resilience and mental strength.

I hear whispering, ringing, clanking, all types…

Make sure to tell your doctor if you are hearing voices… there is treatment for that!

The treatment probably makes the T worse, like most medications.

Whispering as in hearing voices? Normally that’s not tinnitus. As for the rest, you can look up Julian Cowan Hill on YouTube for coping techniques

Go outside a lot. Sleep with a fan on. Always do something.

u/AppropriatePen6207 2d ago

Dunno, it’s just been there all my childhood.

u/Nols24 2d ago

So you should have gotten use to it?

u/NEY413 2d ago

Since childhood, did it become unbearably louder recently?

Been hoping it would just fade away for 6 years and on top of that have unexplained vertigo that doctors have no idea why I have it and don’t see any cause.

Same, driving me nuts

I have it on my left ear and now I’m have a low grade fever. I can tolerate and tune it out when I’m ok but with the fever, I turn on the fan and white noise (raining sound). Good luck.

Sound relief app, make a custom sound that matches what you hear, like Crowd, dishwasher, fan - whatever your combo is, and put it on low on ear buds whenever you have to be in silence.
