    I feel for you @MadisonMolly2017

    I have tinnitus but mine is the sound of crickets. Where I live we sometimes get crickets in the house in the summer so the first year this happened I thought there were crickets in the bedroom and went a little crazy when trying to sleep. I think it might have taken me nearly a year to realize there were no crickets. It was tinnitus.

    I have noticed it is a little intermittent and I actually only ever notice it when I'm not falling asleep quickly. Since I retired it's been less of a problem because I rarely have insomnia anymore but when I still worked the tinnitus cricket sound was pretty awful when I had insomnia. In any case it might improve for you with time. The other thing I noticed is that it's worse when laying on one side rather than the other so you might experiment with that to see if there is a difference.

    Thank you @LazyBlondeChef 😁
    You are the third person I know who no longer really hears it (unless someone mentions it!) very encouraging!

    Mine is worse mid-afternoon when I go for my walk, persists through dinner & then sometimes quiets a tad/sometimes not.

    Funny about which side you lay on. From the beginning I’ve wanted to top my head to the right. I find it’s much better if I sleep on my right side. I’ve even pulled a hood over the right side of my head, but not as far on left (so my left ear is uncovered) & that seems to help me focus on the real sounds rather than the fake ones :)

    I’m glad your insomnia is better & your crickets are quiet!

    Hugs,
    Maddie

    that's interesting Maddie. And also frustrating that you know the cause of your tinnitus. Hope that it settles soon and doesn't progress to dizzyness etc. I know exactly what you mean about the volume accidently getting turned WAY UP on the phone in your pocket. Mostly I run just with my watch (maybe that would work so you don't have to hold your phone) so I would have to really on purpose turn the vol and I don't have it high anyway because I want to hear other things. I also only use one ear bud at a time anyway to save on power because I don't need both of them.

    Track: yes
    Calories: yes
    Exercise: yes
    • Full Body Warm Up: 5 min
    • Day 31: EPIC I - Abs & Glutes workout : 45 mins
    • Day 33: EPIC I - Legs & Bicep workout (+ cool down): 51 mins
    Passes used: 2/3 (17oct) (21oct)

    I may regret this tomorrow but I did two EPIC workouts today since I didn't exercise at all yesterday. I did the workouts scheduled for Wed & Fri. Tomorrow I'll do Day 32 which I should have done yesterday. About half way through the second one I slowed down some. I was committed to doing this so I could have Sunday as a rest day since Day 34 is the longer full body workout.

    @MadisonMolly2017 thanks for sharing your story and also posting the link. The volume turning up way loud like that happened a couple of times on my old mp3. It was so loud I thought it might burst my eardrum! The way my current mp3 is I don't think that would happen, but after reading the article you shared, what I would like to know is how many decibels I'm listening to music to when I run. Hopefully it's not at a level that is damaging to my ears, but it could be on runs that last longer than an hour. I have it at level 8, when in contrast, when I use the FM radio feature of my mp3 in bed to listen to talk radio if I can't sleep, I only have the volume on 0 or 1 otherwise it's too loud.

    I hear some ringing in my ears at times that is probably tinnitus. Thankfully it doesn't bother me. I guess it isn't bad enough, at least not yet...

    Tracked - Yes!
    Within calorie budget - Yes!
    Exercised - Yes! 4.42 mile run 🏃‍♀️

    @slimtastesbetter
    I was very surprised when I read the research that more than an hour can be an issue.

    I did Google “how to measure decibels” & there were several apps. I don’t know if that would work for you. I learned city traffic noise is 80-90db, so if we try to hear over that, we’d definitely at risk.

    I’m Glad you are doing well!!

    Best,
    Maddie🌸

    Exercise? Yep.
    Tracking? Yep.
    Calories? Nope.

    Tinnitus? Story of my life. I haven't a clue what triggered it, but I've had it for years. Both ears. Some days are better than others.
