I have recently discovered my tinnitus and it bothers me a lot. I have the type that sounds like it is coming from the center of my head. When I am in a quiet room it makes me dizzy hearing it, and it seems SO LOUD! But throughout the day I don't notice it, it gets drowned out, but I know it is still there. Every time I go to my quiet room and listen to it it seems like it is worse than the day before, but I am not certain of this. Is this awful ringing in my head causing further damage? Also, I fear that this may be permanent and I'm afraid I may not be able to cope with it. Anyone relate to that?

I am.. A tinnitus sufferer.
I've had it for a year now [Well, a few months, Cuz I finally found out what it was.. Before that, I thought everyone had it.. So I was fine.. SUCKS for me now]
I worry about it 24/7
I sometimes go into quiet rooms just to hear it, and TRY to reconize the sound.
Its a pitching sound
Not those very high ones you hear in those "What does Tinnitus sound like?" videos.
Its sorta similar to it.

I get this weird eardrum feeling in my ears when I hear loud noises, OR if someone talks in my ear/screams.
When I get exposed to that [Which is almost everyday.. Since I go to school :/] then my tinnitus turns to that HIGH pitch sound, very annoying. and lasts for about an hour.
Then it dies down, and goes back to how it was before.
My tinnitus, I hear it when im in a quiet room, with maybe a tv on.
I dont hear it in my bigger living room, I dont hear it outside
Dont hear when people are talking.
Only when theres quiet.

Help!
Is that really tinnitus
To add,
I have nasal problems where my nose gets very stuffy and I cant breath.
Its cuz I was an abuser when I couldnt breath, Atleast 5 times a day,
of Afrin Nasal Congestant.
