I know what you mean. But with new Tones there is new suffering.

its been 15 freaking years she has to come through, I hope to god she dont fail but seriously in the mean time invest in some hearing aids ASAP.

why should i wear hearing aids, when the ENT said, i have good hearing? can you explain this to me?

Yes, it might take years to get used to, but you will. Just stay calm...

nah bro the CAUSE FOR OUR DEPRESSION is different from others, now dont get me wrong there are other diseases and disabilities that can rival tinnitus but for the most part our condition well you know..... I envy other people who want to delete themselves over trivial things, i wish the worst thing was my lover left me or i lost my job.

unless they are sick or have a condition like us, they have no reasons to harm their selves PERIOD. you dont know how mad i get when i see suicidal people complaining and they werent abused as kids, have no one in their family die, basically aint got nothing to really cry about. I wish the worst thing in my life was a BULLY lol

I have been there, but you see, almost 9 years of T and counting. T might not get better, but you will get better. That is the way that this condition works.

Some decisions we make are not refundable. Make good ones my friend. We suffer together to not be alone.

Sorry to hear. I think I might have written this to you already, but I think that if you were able to habituate once, you will be able to do it again! Stay strong my friend.

you are very kind. But i have never had a low hum, which got so much worse in silence. It is a living nightmare. For me, the H is not the worst anymore..

Sending positive vibes your way man <3

yep, 20F/-5C already here only November. Only good thing is it is easier to sleep at night. 12 hours with earplugs to fully rest the ears.

Feeling your pain and struggle. But just keep hang ing in there. Do what you need to do to keep on pushing on.

I don't have much to spare these days as I'm fighting a losing battle myself. But since you've recently made this revelation, let me tell you that I'm deeply sorry this has happened to you. It's not fair and it's not right. Try not to maximize the crisis that's going on in your brain, but rather take one day at a time and "it is what it is". Breathe and focus on what makes you smile and disconnect from the sound.

This is exactly me, but one-side ear with pulsatile reverberations. :( It's reactive to internal body sounds: vascular, voice, and what seems muscular spasms. In certain known disorders, reactive T/H occurs not only by external sounds, but by also from sounds within. Is this same for you?

it is too new to tell you that. I am having this for a week after a bad cold.

@Aschenherz Hopefully, it's a temporary spike from ongoing inflammation within. Drink lots water, Vit.C, Vit. B+... and many here use NAC (but I've not tried). @Lane suggestions for congestion issues are helpful. Is the Prozac helping, or made it worse?

I hope it works for you man. Prozac saved my life.

All the best!

new tone. humming. It is getting louder in silence.. This is a mad world.

at this point i was very lucky. 3 Months.

And, as much as i want to, i cannot say anything, which was the kicker. I just stayed during the uncomfortable sounds and over time it got better. I know, that this could get very wrong. As i said, i was lucky. The encountering of this sounds gave me relief, not worsening. Running water, porcelain and plastic are still very distorted, but these also the things, that give me pain, so i must avoid this anyways.

how long did you have Dysacusis?

Hang in there man. One day at a time

@KoolKat one of my new tones is reactive. i've also had 3 months of severe hyperacusis, but it settles slowly.

@CRGC yes, this is all, we can do..

We do care. There are some great people on here.

Love you brother. Best of luck!

you too! If i come online in a couple of weeks/months, you will be have a success story! I am sure of it.

Wishing you a quick recovery man ❤️
