Hi all, Just wanted to chimn in here and post an update of my tinnitus status. I promised myself I would not leave these forums when I got better and succeeded in habitating it. It's been two years for me now since I got it and I've since then successfully moved on. The ringing in my ears is...

Before I habitated my tinnitus, I felt it got worse when I exercised. I think it's very different for people. Some hear it more during certain situations. I still think the key is to get distracted enough to not pay attention to it, like treating it as a fan or a refrigerator. When I'm pumping...

Thanks Teri, don't worry, I'm gonna be around here and try my best to encourage people that things is gonna be alright!

Thanks Karen and Ken, Don't worry, I'll be around and try to help and encourage people whenever I can!

I too never had have any problems with tinnitus when sleeping. In fact, when I got it a year ago, I was actually looking forward to sleep because I knew the tinnitus would then go away. That's why I never felt any need to use any white noise to mask it. When the big dose of GABA kicked in...

It's August now and it's been more than a year later since I contracted tinnitus so I thought I'd make an update. My tinnitus has gone lower over the months and I don't mind it at all these days. Some days it's even almost gone, and other days it's there but I fail/forget to notice it. One of...

Hi all, time for an update! :) It's been several months since my last visit here. Gotten more used to my tinnitus now. Still munching Citalopram, 20mg each day. It works well and I will go with the 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it' route for a little while longer. Believe it or not but there...

Time for an update. I've been on Citalopram for almost three weeks now and I raised the dose to 20mg a couple of days ago. Not sure if it things have helped, but at least I'm starting to feel a bit like Peter Gibbons in Office Space now. :) The tinnitus is still there, maybe at a slightly...

Got some Citalopram a.k.a Cipramil/Celexa through my doctor today. Will start taking it on Sunday. Whatever happens next I'll follow the wisdom of Jack Burton: :)

Thanks for the feedback everyone, Yeah, I did an audio test a few weeks ago. They added a question mark to the higher frequency range (4-6 kHz). I'm guessing it's because I was sorta trigger-happy during the test, i.e. "hearing" tones I probably didn't really hear. I later did some tests of my...

Hi everyone, Guy from Sweden here. Got tinnitus August this year. Not sure where it came from but I think several things may have played into it. A loud concert, stress from work and possibly unhealthy diet (do workout though). Like many else in the beginning, I'm really depressed right now...
