I do believe you mean normal as opposed to "reactive" - in which case reactive should be "abnormal". ? I often perceive my T as louder in a loud environment, but I somehow doubt it is the T itself that reacts. I believe I perceive my T as being louder when in a loud environment, because I have difficulty hearing in loud environments. Thus I concentrate a lot on hearing - and thus also hear my T more. Of course I cannot base this upon anything scientific at all. Just my opinion. Susanne

My enviroment depends on how I handle my tinnitus. The only time outside noises bother me is when there are too many other noises, then I find it too difficult to concentarate on anything. There are very rare occasions when my tinnitus stops, very rare, has only happened maybe 2 or 3 times and only for 2 or 3 minutes and at that time, the world is so loud, every sound is outrageous--the computer fan, the refrigerator motor, etc.

I had sudden hearing loss and lost 50% of my hearing in my left ear. I wear a hearing aid and I have trouble watching TV if its too loud because the tinnitus gets louder also. Even with my hearing aid voices and sounds in my left ear sound like krrr...hard for me to make out the words sometime. Does any of you wear a hearing aid and how do you hear with it. I want to know if that's all I can expect from it or is it not adjusted right. Rose
