My eardrums keep ringing once every hour

>Once it was gone I got left with some really bad ringing in my ears for 2 weeks
>I would often go to sleep thinking of how some dudes have killed themselves because their tinnitus was so bad.
Sucks to be you dude.

Go to literally any doctor and have them flush your ear canal with water.

Don't put Q-tips in your ear. I thought this was common knowledge nowadays.

Drink less caffeine and alchohol, and switch to speakers or lower the volume on your headset.

No one cares. People want clean ears and most people never have any issues while using Q-tips.

I used to think the visual snow effect was how everyone saw the world until I was in my early 20's or so.

You should be able to get rid of earwax build up relatively easily dude, I had that problem and all I had to do was putting some droplets of a certain substance that costed nothing

I know your pain. I've had Tinnitus for as long as I can remember and my right eardrum has gotten considerably worse recently. Every loud or sharp noise makes my eardrum thump and I get horrific migraines and dizziness as a result. Even low vibrations hurt to listen to.

It rarely cleans well. It mostly pushes all the crap further in.

I wonder if the effects from one of those would be less or worse for me

probably a lot worse

You can actually kill yourself with q-tips and get brain damage.

I didn't say it was a great idea, just that most people never have any problems and so ignore the warnings, despite them being well-known.

How to clean earwax then?

>Use q-tips all my life
>Ears start to get clogged with wax
>Get an ear flush from the clinic

The flush felt nice but it's probably better to just wash and rinse your ears out when you shower

>Go insane, carefully shove q tip as deep as i can
>Slowly spin qtip instead of trying to pull the wax which is what makes it go deeper in the first place

If you're going to use them, spin them with a circular motion, it's harder to accidentally push the wax this way

I just dry my ears with toilet paper but never going deep into it. Never had wax problems.

You'll get used to it
I have tinnitus since earlier this year

Shit game syndrome.

Feels good but also bad. I've always felt like I was dead and looking at life through a window, not being able to connect to the real world like everyone else seems to be able to. Sometimes I wonder if it's because I was born all these visual defects.

I never thought it existed until some faggot on Yea Forums told me it existed. Now i can hear it but most of the time i think it's just normal. It sucks for people who got it in the middle of life though, must be awful going from good quiet life to CONSTANT RINGING.

Just 5g being switched on, nothing to worry about. I'm so jealous, OP.

>Get it anyways

Come on. You lads got any advice?

Night mode is not a meme, specially if you use the pc at night. I wish I used it earlier instead of mocking people who use the tomorrow theme for pretty much a decade.

Also the color blue strains the eye for some reason, so if it's that bad put a slightly red filter on your screen, which relaxes it instead. I kinda dislike seeing everything very slightly red though so I don't do that.

Don't light the room too much. Have a dim background light behind your screen instead. Your eyes will be more sensitive to your monitor's light, and if your monitor is at maximum brightness you might want to tone it down a little.
Refocus your eyes to minimum and maximum distances until you can see them perfectly at least once a day.

Just sleep w a running fan lol

Although I'm used it it now that even in silence its just a meh familiar EEEEEEEEEEEEEE noise

It makes life more cinematic cause it's like film grain.

You buy earwax loosening fluid that you drip into your ear, let it sit for a while, then rinse it out with body temperature water.

even when it is very prominent it doesn't feel too much of a barrier to me, probably because I already had a mental derealization period for a decade unrelated to it, and coming out of it coincided with me also realizing not everyone saw and heard this shit

What does visual snow look like? I'm wondering if I slightly have it.

Sometimes when I try to fall asleep my brain starts acting weird and I experience this feeling of weightlessness. It's really hard to describe. Like the room and bed I'm in suddenly becomes and feels a lot bigger than it is. I'm hyper aware of everything around me, I try and think of images in my head and they're all distorted and not the correct images I thought of. I'm fully awake during of all this and it's incredibly disconcerting every time.

Attached: 1424225466118.jpg (1024x768, 189K)

no but I get hypnagogia which is fucking awesome, you basically just start seeing stuff right in front of you before you fall asleep, but are very lucid for it, like sleep paralysis without the paralysis, I usually see brightly colored geometric patters and fractals zooming past me silently, first time it happened to me I thought it was an acid flashback

I have gotten sleep paralysis too but I am usually aware and it comes after sort of half waking up in the middle of the night, but on two occasions I've used this half lucid state to use my mind to make me cum successfully so it was pretty good

does ringing disappear after flushing earwax?

holy shit, this exact same feeling happened to me when I was a kid.
I was partially asleep and I felt so small, like everything around me was becoming bigger and bigger, and all perspective didn't make sense.

Something like this. Intensity may vary.

Attached: Visual_snow.gif (800x600, 1.12M)

like little specks of a kind of light that almost isn't there, everywhere all the time, both like a film over your eyes and like the air is full of these things, all packed together over 100% of your vision yet your able to 'see through' them, like you can focus on the world around you or on this stuff, and it moves exactly like static on a tv, in colors that are certainly perceived but don't seem to be there, like if you think of a color that is the one you will notice crackling about, but besides that it is like you see very color in there and no colors, it's very phantom like, if I had to say it was one color at all I'd say a kind of black and purple

if you close your eyes it's there too and you can almost see patterns in it, and you see after images of everything you were just looking at giving you the effect of staring directly at a light and then looking away to see that negative of it burned into your retina that floats about, it's also more pronounced in the dark, on large surfaces of just one color, and when you look at the sky

another fun thing even if you don't have visual static is that if you stare at the sky long enough and look out for them you'll start to see lots of tiny white dots moving about in the sky in zig zaging and branching patterns, they are the white blood cells moving through the capillaries in the eyes

It's called "Tinnitus". What this guy said. Cut caffeine from your diet as much as possible and lower your stress levels, and eat a more balanced diet. Most of it, patience. It will take a month or more to show results.

t. I have pulsatile tinnitus, which is where I can hear my heartbeat in my ear. It sounds like whooosh whooosh whooosh. It's more rare than the ringing type. I can also stop it temporarily by pushing down on the skin behind my ear. As soon as I remove my finger, it starts again. It's useful if I need to listen closely to something though

>Pure silence
>Suddenly EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I have never drunk coffee in my life and I got Tinnitus after an infection. It's constant. I'm hoping it's just the earwax build up like people mentioned above

This same shit used to happen to me. The moment I closed my eyes the space around me would feel infinitely larger and I had sensation I was floating as well. Sometimes a kaleidoscope effect would pop up in my mind.
What the fuck was it?

how do I effectively clean my ears then?

I cry and laugh in my sleep, and I'm not talking about softly either. I remember when I was a kid there was this black void chasing me in the third person, and I woke up everyone in my house I was crying so loud.

I'm deaf and I still enjoy video games

Spin instead of push. Get the q-tip and pull the cotton out to the sides a bit to make it bigger. Put it in your ear while simultaniously spining it like a drill. Instead of the wax being pushed inwards, it wraps around the q-tip.

It's one of those things doctors don't tell you because most retards can't handle the responsibility. Also, you only need to brush your teeth once a day as long as you're using mouthwash and going up and down instead of side to side (brushing correctly, in other words).

I used to have pretty bad Casadastraphobia when I was a kid, it means fear of falling into the sky.
I couldn't look up when I was outside or it'd feel like I was gonna fly away

Hold the fuck up.
All my life I've had this constant ringing in my ears, that sounds sorta like a flashbang, but long and drawn out into one continuous ring.
Literally all my life
Are you telling me that not everyone has it and its actually a disease.
I have tinnitus? I just assumed everyone had this permanent ringing in their ears.

I get ghosting, visual snow, and see random lines and dots in my vision. Always been like this.

Yeah, tinnitus isn't that bad if you're born with it. I only get bothered by it when I can headphones on
This looks awful, though. Is it constant?

Eustachian tube dysfunction. Happens all the time.

>it's real
holy shit, I want it back tho, it felt weird but great at the same time

Sounds like cancer, no joke. My uncle had brain cancer and the same shit happened to him before he got diagnosed. He died a few weeks later.

Go get yourself checked out. NOW

Google is very useful for seeing exactly what kind of tinnitus you have. There's several types and most have nothing to do with ear wax. This is important.
>Tinnitus can (rarely) be a symptom of several fatal conditions with no other symptoms.
There's also some that is extremely easy to treat with exercises you can do at home like the Epley Maneuver which is just rolling over on a bed for 5 minutes a few times a day.

Do some research, for your own health and comfort.

I used to have this exact problem every time I take a nap during the morning. I'd fall into paralysis and instead of seeing a black shadow like most people imagine, I'd see letters and numbers being projected onto my ceiling and noises I could only imagine coming from a sci-fi B movie. One time during this I even heard my brother up against the door sobbing for help, to then wake up and realize he's just in his room playing on his PS4 as usual.

>>put hydrogen peroxide in ear
Wow why didn't I think of this horrible thing sooner?

natural ears are dead silent, they're not supposed to generate noise

I have to just go to the doctor and have them use a loop. I have small ear canals, so it's always getting clogged to the point even hydrogen peroxide won't help.

This has started happening to me recently if I try to go to sleep with the light off. I'll start becoming completely numb and my entire body will start buzzing. I'll start dreaming but be completely lucid. I've had to start sleeping with the light on to stop it from happening.

Does it ever bother you to not be able to hear music? But hey, I'd rather be deaf than blind.

I used to have that as a kid. It gave me panic attacks every fucking time. Now when I feel it coming I just relax and let the feeling go away. I fucking hate it.

I used to have sleep paralysis and often lucid dreams that easily became nightmares, its the main reason I started smoking weed so I'd stop getting dreams. Sometimes I miss the dreams, but the nightmares just were awful for my heart (heart probems, genetic)

>off-topic threads are not the best t-

Anyone else imagine things in their head when falling asleep and they constantly feel infinitely small and big at the same time, sometimes switching between the feelings?

Got any nightmares you'd be willing to share?

Those nightmares will start popping up in other facets of your life, I hope you know. Weed is great for ignoring a problem, but also excellent in having it affect other aspects of your life.

>thread says using Q-tips is bad
>mfw can't even clean myself properly without fucking up something
How am I supposed clean my ears in a way that won't fuck me up? Just dump some water with soap inside? Apparently I've been cleaning my ears the wrong way my entire life.

It's constant. It's more or less apparent depending on your environment as well as how badly you're afflicted. The gif isn't a perfect representation of what it looks like, but it gives the general idea. You can try to imagine the dots as different colors that blend into the environment more.
For me it's mild enough that I don't even think about it most of the time, but it gets more obvious when it's dark or when I'm looking up at a clear blue sky.

Oh, this sounds like it could be it. I'm gonna see an allergist soon. Hopefully it's just that, thanks man

Hydrogen peroxide.

Sounds to me like a clear case of ligma.

...

literally me
i got used to it

it does since I wasn't born with it

If you can hear fine, then your ears are clean enough.

Man, fuck EHS. The night before last that shit happened everytime I was drifting off, including a demonic voice a human couldn't even replicate screaming my name unearthly loud.

It looks more like very transparent pixels are constantly moving. Imagine a noise filter in a game, like silent hill 2, and turning it all the way to 1%. You can notice it but it's hardly and issue. Some people will see it more.

>had a very shitty and painful infection in left eardrum that gave me a permanent ringing
i got used to it and often will forget about it unless i see threads like these or spend a lot of time with my headphone without listening to any music or game
sometimes it triggers the fuck out of my autism because the ringing is only on the left side of my head while the other side is silent
my vision is going to shit too, probably a mix of spending a lot of time on pc and genetics due to dad being functionally blind without glasses since he was a kid, really sucks not being able to read shit at ~5m of me anymore

Unless you go to concerts or shows regularly, how the fuck does anyone get tinnitus. Play you're shit at a reasonable volume and/or use speakers. It's not hard.

Some people are born with it, and you can't control the volume of things that occur in the real world, such as jets or people screaming. You're incredibly ignorant.

Havent people actually killed themselves over Tinnitus or something? Am I lucky to have had it all my life to where I almost never notice it unless I intentionally focus on it?

You both could have earwax buildup and not notice it. If you only clean the outsides and a little ways in, then you could have deep earwax buildup. Go to the doctor and have them clean your ears.

Bulb syringe. Water. Ear. Over the sink.

Keep going until that huge black chunk of nasty fucking earwax comes out

If you can't get it then soften it first with a peroxide solution, you can get them at any drug store

Any of you suffering from migrane? Any spine or jaw issues?

>Sometimes when I try to fall asleep my brain starts acting weird and I experience this feeling of weightlessness

something similar happened to me, it's feels like to are far from your body

I had a dream a while ago that went over my life from a third person perspective and represented through a different person's similar life with a lot of visual metaphors for my own, and by the end of that dream I was at the base of the Sagrada Familia, but it reached the top of the sky and was covered in artists building it, and I was weeping with joy because it was so beautiful, and I saw it as a physical embodiment of art. Then I looked at the street and saw a man in a old jacket narrowly avoiding being hit by a tram, and knew it was Gaudi, I followed him into the park and he went to the top of an invisible viewing platform with my sick grandmother and told me I could come up next, when they went up I left my body and floated up there because I wanted to hear what they were saying, when I got up there they were looking over the park and the cathedral and I saw Gaudi up close. I didn't remember ever seeing a photo of him before but when I looked him up after this dream it was him I saw. He started to talk to me telepathically, like putting ideas in my head, and spoke without words to me about how to create art that would lead people to god, and as he was doing this I floated over the park and into the cathedral, the shapes of the garden becoming fractal and complicated, and then the same patterns showing up and melding into the cathedral as I floated into it. And then I woke up.

It's not visual snow. You're seeing blood vessels inside of your eye. If you zone out enough, it kind of feels like you're traveling fast through space.

My ears were blocked recently and I got temporary tinnitus as a side effect.
Luckily I didn't have a tone or a ringing, mine sounded just like this: youtube.com/watch?v=G8t4zi_uEL0

If your ear is actually 100% plugged all the way to the drum and it's impossible to get water behind it or sufficiently soften it you need to make an appointment with an ear/nose/throat doctor and have them take a look and loop out the wax

I play a loud fucking rock show for 3-4 hours every weekend plus a 3 hour practice every week with no earplugs and I don't have tinnitus, you have to really be blowing out your ears to get it young that way to the point of ignoring obvious pain

Most people just get wax built up

I know how you feel user. You just have to work it. It takes me about a week on average to clear it up, I know exactly how you're feeling. As bad as qtips are, (which actually cause the problem cause I push the ear wax in) they came help. After it gets wet in there slowly SO slowly push a qtip in and start turning, playing around with the walls inside your ear, cleaning up the wet earwax slowly but surely. Remember to stop if you feel any pain. You have to push it in with extreme, intense care.
Buy some earwax solution too. It usually comes with a bulb for water, and you just drip the solution into your ear, and reat your head on a table. You'll get through it user. It takes about a week, but you'll get through it. The solution btw costs usually like 5-15 dollars. Extremely worth it for that use, and future uses..
Btw to arify on the qtip, only use it to do minor cleanups on the wet ear wax by spinning it.

Buy some drops.
Hydrogen peroxide ones work best, sodium bicarbonate ones work as well, but slower. You can put olive oil in them if you have really dry skin.
I had compacted wax in my left ear and the drops + syringing every few days shifted it, it took like a week though, and the drops can make your hearing worse while they work. Know this before going in.

Wait...

Visual snow isn't normal?

Think I do have this. Just never really thought much about it. Figured that's just how eyes worked or I was seeing bacteria or some shit.

One time I stuck a qtip in too far and got some blood, what happened?

The skin in your ear canal is really fragile, you probably just broke it a little bit.

Nigga the last song I have ever heard was from David Bowie. Don't remember the last vidya song I've heard

its all muffled since I was 9.

I think it depends on where you're focusing. Everything else is still there, you're just not focused on it so it doesn't appear.

>I have this visual snow thing.
The shit you learn in threads like this.

Sounds like the part of your brain that 'fills in' your natural blind spots just stops working for a minute, but then again i dont know the first thing about biology so whatever.

>Realized a couple of days ago that my left eye sees darker compared to my right eye

Get your eyes checked, you're more than likely near sighted in one eye.
I have the same issue with the left eye, and everything that the right cant see might as well not exist because it's blurry as shit.

So that's what that shit is. Another thing to add to my checklist of shit that's fucked up for me.

I didn't even know that wasn't normal until a few years ago. You'll be ok. Think of it as your own personal filter.

Don't do it kids.

Only figured out that I was born with tinnitus after I was talking to my dad about it and he told me he'd had it his whole life too.
It's really strange, realizing that never in my life have I actually heard true silence. Can't imagine what it's like, this must be how colorblind people feel.

I know I have -1.0 in both eyes but I suspect that I also have some very slight astigmatism or something in the right eye. It's barely noticable and probably too insignificant to get glasses/lenses for it or get it corrected. Still could be the reason I feel like I mostly use my left eye.

Olive oil, drip it in with a straw or something, insert some tissue to stop it from coming out, lay on your side the oil goes down into the canal, wait 5 mins and then stand up and tilt your head the other way to make it drop out. The oil will break up the earwax and make it become more like a liquid, if you keep it at it for a few days, it should all come out.

F.lux, I thought it was a meme at first but it really helps, also helped me sleep better because staring at a bright blue light all night keeps you awake.

my world was blown when I actually talked to my family doctor

Are eye floaters normal?

That's actually common, but its only noticeable if you close the other eye. your brain can calibrate the contrast balance really well.

Hell, it even ignores your nose despite it being right next to your eyes. Don't worry about it

Does anyone occasionally have this thing where your eyesight just blacks out for like a second or two? Not blinking, it just happens and comes back gradually. Feel a bit lightheaded as it's happening

yeah, but if they don't go away get it checked. I've had one for like 4 years in the same spot, but my optometrist said it's not anything to worry about.

Had a dream as a kid where I had a pillow fight with Drake and Josh in my room with that same "room feels bigger than it is" feeling. It looked visually identical to my room but I moved slowly and weightlessly, as if I was on the moon.
Every once in a while that dream will pop into my mind for 20 seconds or so, minus the bit about the pillow fight - I'll just be standing next to my bed in a room that feels endlessly large despite being visually normal.

Yes, but you really won't see them that often unless you're staring at the sky

who /migraines/ here?

when I see that little spot in the center of my vision that won't go away and the squiggly static snake starts curling up in the corner of my vision I know I'm in for some shit

I know that horrible, horrible feel bro

Listen to music

lel

time to end it OP

just know you're a meme among the tinntitus community
your tinnitus must be extremely low

I have opthalmic migraines. There isn't any pain, but every once in a while for an hour or so I am basically blind in a large area around the center of my vision, only able to make out vague shapes. Happened while I was driving once, scary shit.

Same here. I think I was born with visual snow and a series of bad middle ear inflammations gave me a tinnitus. I'm too powerful to care though

No
Holy shit this whole thread, seek a fucking doctor all of you.

Hold your nose, close your mouth, blow through your nose.
There's a reason only Americans suffer from tinitus.

they occur at specific depths of focus. some floaters you see only when looking far away, some only when looking up close

This is how you get headaches

/k/ has lots of great tinnitus advice, ask them for help

This is how not having tinnitus sounds like, it works

you should check it out if you have tinnitus it's a mix of old out of touch boomers who have it because of old age and young desesperate alcoholic neets who spent their youth abusing music
makes for a lot of fun when you add desesperation and calls for mass suicides to it

>Can't imagine what it's like
> According to the Deccan Chronicle, nobody could survive 45 minutes in the chamber. What actually happens there is that, in the silence, which is observed to be -9.4DB, even the slightest noise will be amplified, making one aware of things such as their own heartbeat or rumbling of their stomach. The chamber only makes one aware of their surroundings and there are reasonable chances of making one disoriented and experiencing visual/aural hallucinations.

>hey man what's up?
>WHAT?

That's called schizophrenia.

That's not silence though, the complete isolation as you can read makes your own body loud as fuck.

>visual snow
Life is like watching old TV all the time?

Every human being has internet signal/noise thresholds you fucking hypochondriacs.

Imagine playing a video game with a really shitty cinematic grain filter which is too bright.

yea... probably should have left their human husk at the door. shame

try living in 24/7 chronic pain where you can't even sit down or play vidya for more than 15 minutes without feeling like your entire body is breaking down

RDR2 unironically. You start out with everything great before everything goes to shit as your body betrays you to sickness.
