close to zero i’m guessing. T is reserved for me and you.

No. Zero not close to zero

T sounds not that bad / sounds so nice to be able to say that… do nice :)

@BrOKeN_1 my T is somatic and i still don’t have a lot of hope in the device . Just a pessimistic person i guess. i feel like im doomed to have this forever.

i’ve been reading this forum too long to not know nothings coming anytime soon. go back in the internet and read. in 2000 they think they’ll have a cure by 2010. in 2010 they think they’ll have a cure by 2020. push off indefinitely

I have somatic tinnitus and moderate hearing loss both, more severe loss over 8 Khz. I can hear close enough to my high frequency tinnitus tone that I'm able to initiate residual inhibition with high frequency tones (short interval beeps) from some tinnitus videos. So that gives me hope I would get some benefit from the Shore / Auricle device.

Maybe not everyone. I wouldn't wish this shit on my wife and kids. But maybe some big money doners? I would.mind then having it a spell.

The benefit would also be that the research would go faster

@crescentsky i feel like if i didn’t have T, i’d be jacked and rich right now lol.

I wanted to compete in marathons. I loved those people that cycled the world. I would have done that… I have the time. Worked hard to reach this point in my life!

i'll be in Hawaii or Cancun enjoying my T-free life.

Make sure to drink water and use a cold compress

As for just a sound, I never understood that. Nothing "just" about sounds, that's why they're used as a method of torture!

it’s often compared to sitting in a quiet kitchen and hearing the refrigerator running. You aren’t bothered by the refrigerator running so you shouldn’t be bothered by this. same thing or so they say. The problem is my head hurts like a bitch right now, it wasn’t really painful january to march. i wonder why? nothing changed. last summer it was bad pain though.

I hate the fridge analogy. wtf?! ignore it like the clothes on your body/nose/tongue/glasses/finger nails/eyeballs/etc these fuckers should try and have massive T and see how it feels.

Story I my life daily. This is the second biggest reason problem I have.

@4Grace everyone is an expert on T yet i have no solution. it’s unreal.

I would give anything for a med. I’m thinking of going back on Mirt. The current level is unsustainable. I am getting desperate. Last t8me I took one 3 mg tablet it caused a bit of H. That’s how desperate I am.

@RunningMan But are you not saying two things then? Staying off benzos would likely make T better, but at the same time make it worse with time? Or what do you mean?

@Juliane Staying off benzos long term will help with any recovery due to any worsening specifically caused by benzos. I mean T in general gets worse over time for someone, whether they used benzos or not. So some recovery could be offset by that.

Maybe prednisone if you just very recently had noise trauma. Otherwise, just something for anxiety maybe and refer you to an ENT that you might get in several months down the road, who will refer you to an audiologist after some expensive tests that won't help.

its super easy to sue website owners. that's why they all say "make sure to consult a doctor" and "this is not investment advice"

Exactly. Useless advice

I have these fleeting T's too, they don't scare me tho. Sometimes I even find them pleasant. It's like the brain zapps, hissing suppressed and next the fleeting tone comes in.

I also find the fleeting T pleasant and in a sick way, a relief from the hissing/clicking/crackling I get. It’s a soft weeze. I had mild ringing in my left ear yesterday that was a relief to the other sounds my right ear makes. I could easily ignore the mild ring and it vanished this morning.

Over focusing on it

@Varda I am Canadian and we do not have a good health care system. I have multiple family members who work in the system as well. People are dying in emerg romms, cannot get in to see specialists, people are going overseas for surgeries and paying due to long wait times, no innovation etc and not everything is “free” You also can’t get a hold of anyone when you call clinics

@MiaVIL they certainly don’t have time to care about something like tinnitus lol

Can you get MAID for tinnitus?

loud ringing in right ear, ringing in left ear that i am able to mask, but then i have fleeting T often where i get very loud blasts of ringing cutting in and out. While wearing earplugs i also have a morse code T, so it must be very quiet. If gets a lot worse after any loud noise exposure or stress. I can usually deal with it but i have stretches where i have tons of pain and pressure and it sucks. how is your T?

@cjbhab I hardly ever get loud ringing. One day I will have what seems to be electric shocks in my ear or clicking/crackling noises. It will do that then stop.Then crackle again. On and off throughout the entire day with a sharp hiss mixed in here and there. On other days I have a non specific shrill sound mainly on my right side that radiates into my head its like a stringy, high pitched white noises.

I get fleeting T and that sound of it prefer over the regular T. It’s just a softer wheeze and it lasts 10 secs max.

go and shatter their ear drums!

The daily torture of things that nobody even notices. Would pay anything to go back to those days,

@BB23 $69.69

Wow if that happened. Would be amazing.

All dyson products are so f-ing loud. the dyson airwrap sounds like an explosion.

I can already see those greedy pharms ready to charge us an arm and leg for treatment.

@crescentsky god i hope so. take my money.

non t people think this is a joke. I stopped talking to friends that are toxic about it

I wish it was as easy as using castor oil sigh

I asked them how rubbing castor oil around the ears will regenerate damaged hair cells and they asked me what i was talking about. lol
