@Tom Cnyc I can safely say that I am 100% habituated - I haven't been active on TT for ages but drop back in every now and again to check on research news and such. In fairness, I've just today experienced a new sound in my right ear that I wanted to get some advice on but it doesn't bother me -...

@glynis How are you? Hope you're okay after your hospitalisation! Glad to hear from you though and thanks for taking the time to reply. I was thinking reactive T but I haven't had a proper spike for ages. Think I'll protect my ears for a bit and see if it diminishes.

Within the last hour or so I randomly found that whenever I whistle or hear some high pitched sounds, I hear a ringy beep in my right ear. I've completely habituated to my normal T and this new experience hasn't freaked me out, but I would like to get some clarity on what it is and what may be...

Hey @amymilly - T can take the form of a beeping sound and from what it sounds like you probably had a quick bout of fleeting tinnitus. It often randomly explodes with a loud beep or ring and then disappates after a few seconds. Try not to let it panic you as it is completely normal, even in...

Very interesting and exciting stuff. I know it's best to exercise caution with news like this but it shows that work is being carried out and progress is slowly being made. Nevertheless, hopefully something awesome comes of this!

@DebInAustralia Yes quite possibly - although it doesn't work 100% of the time in fairness...buuuut then again more often than not :)

For me it's weird - sometimes I wake up with blaring tinnitus which diminishes in 10-30 minutes and remains quiet throughout the day. Other times I'll wake up and it'll be very low and non-intrusive but in the same 10-30 minute time frame it will become louder and will be intrusive for the rest...

@gobolts07 I'm glad that I could be of some help! Really happy to hear that you're well on your way to habituation. Remember it can be a long road, but just keep doing what you're doing and you'll get there! Acceptance is the key :)

Hey @chaosgodloki What kind of gaming headset do you use? I have Turtle Beach XO Seven's and was using them when my Tinnitus was triggered. I played many hours per day with them like you also do - not massively loudly but it was enough to trigger my T I guess. As for the rest of your story...

This is important for all people new to tinnitus. It CAN go away even after months so don't despair :)

@Raggs - one of the worst things you can do is force habituation. This only serves to increase your awareness of it! Honestly it will happen more or less without you even noticing, one day you will simply wake up and realise that you just do not care about it anymore! @Mclyra - glad to hear it...

Hi all, I wrote my personal success story which you can find here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/its-there-but-who-cares.12246/ It's a little long, but I think it might be helpful to anyone who needs a bit of a pick me up and some hope.

Certainly not me that's for sure. Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted on the site - I've mostly been loitering occasionally, keeping track of treatment research but I'm here now to give you all an update nearly a year and a half after my T began. Just a word of warning...LONG...

So when and where can I sign up for the trials haha? In all seriousness I do live in the UK so presumably the trials will be held here too like for AM-101, when it gets to that stage.

The short answer is yes, BUT it's not always as simple as that. It will vary person to person - I for one have a form of mild reactive tinnitus, in the sense that most days it's at a level which I have no problem with but then other days (for no apparent reason) it will be louder or more...
