Tinnitus Forum - Mytinnitus

Hi mazhar,

As I said before, the variability is nothing to worry about. It has to do with the natural variability of your nervous system, which can be sometimes more and sometimes less. In a couple of months this kind of sensitivity is likely to get less or even disappear.

Just wanted to ask,if the nature of the noise changes ,my high frequency in my ears has almost faded away,and at times i think i can hear it in a silent room,however for the last few days,my ear's feel blocked and as if a pressure is pushing onto them.
        But a more overwhelming noise has taken over,but its a noise i cannot fully describe,it seems to all around my head,and not particularly in any ear...is this the "NOISE",we hear in silence,again because i seem to be focusing on it,its now become annoying...i can fall asleep,and pretty much carry on with eveything...any feed back would be appreciated.....thank you again

I had this preasure as well especially near the begining.  It normally lead to a less intense ringing and the brief period of peace that I had.  When the ear opened up again the ringing would go back to the super load version.  It seemed as though it was attempts by my system, to rebalence or to create some sort of protection from the intense ringing.  Mine was so loud almost no sound could over come the intesity.

It is more than likely that even the pressure you feel in these tinnitus-free phases is just a 'phantom pressure' as much as the tinnitus is 'phantom noise'. Neither of them are real but just something that your nervous system creates for some reason. And you also have to bear in mind that sound is normally also associated with a corresponding 'sound pressure', so it is just one pressure substituted by another, even though they may appear different.

There can be however situations when the tinnitus gets reduced without this pressure feeling appearing: for me this never happened when my tinnitus was reduced for a couple of hours after taking a painkiller (Paracetamol or Aspirin). Neither has my long term improvement over the years led to any pressure feelings.

Ok great,thanks Thomas.I am enjoying my first noise free morning,feels weird though...i am hoping this is the end of my tinnitus or does not ever go away? or just fades away..i have noticed that my ear is alot more sensitive to noise,music,radio even chatting on mobile phone..i am sorry that i am asking so many questions ...
       Maybe being away on holiday and relaxing will calm my  nervous system and help with tinnitus..
