Hi guys Can anyone give me any stories about going to nightclubs when you have T? I have had T for about a year and pretty much used to it - it's not super intrusive but always there. I don't want to make it worse! I have a 30th a week this Friday and it's in a loud night club called the...

To be honest no - I just decided fuck it and live my life really. I ain't tried any of the other things which people swear by. It will either get better or it won't I figure and if I start trying stuff then knowing me I will start getting really anxious and want to try everything! The party...

@barbb Well it's now come back after being away this morning so obviously the plugs we're not fit for purpose. No you can get customer fitted ones from a variety of places - I'm going to ACS custom pro27. Type it into Google - not sure where you are in the world but they are a Uk company...

Hey folks So I post quite a bit in the success stories and thankfully my T is usually very manageable. However as te title suggests I went to a rave on Saturday and took my Alpine Party plug ear plugs which are designed for rock concerts. The rave was open - no inside but I seem To have...

@barbb Yeah I wouldn't use cotton. I used alpine party plugs - though I think I've caused a spike in mine. For the first time in a year, mine moved to the centre of my head about 2 am last night. My anxiety severely spiked for sure! Now it's gone back to the usual. So if I were you be extra...

I dont want my post to sound like I am some how amazing at overcoming T or anything - I also have shit days where my anxiety plays up and I feel like shite - however the good days FAR outweigh the bad days with T and thankfully, I no longer feel that same horrific panic and anxiety as when it...

MAn it is such a relief eh!?? Congrats!

@barbb Sorry I forgot to answer your question fully... Is it normal for it to be quiet then come back blaring? - YES. Totally. I dont get as many random spikes as I useds to but I get them about once per month for a day or two... They used to spike for weeks at a time before. People think...

@barbb Hey, Iam sorry you are not having a good time at the moment. I cant really speak for H - It is not something I have ever had - unless I have it and not aware of it. Although I assume I would know if I did? As for T - I wear ear plugs when in noisy places - clubs, bars etc. If I have...

@Alue Hey, well I guess I have been quite lucky over all. When mine started it started as the sea shells, then went to a high pitched noise, then a low 'duuuuuuuuuuhhhh' which was really loud and then after a few weeks it calmed down to sounding like a tv/sea shells. I think having any t is...

Hey Occasionally it is a high pitched noise but usually it sounds like sea shells! My T is noise induced - years of drumming and loud music really.

It can also spike and be louder for a few days the goes down again. I don't have what I assume is really intrusive tinnitus - however when I go to sleep I can hear it really loud - it's like someone howling two sea shells over both my ears!

@dragonjax Hey man thanks. Follow the advice given by all the people on here and you will come through it - we all Rememebr how shit the first while is. Good luck

@Cillian i have no idea how to Measure the loudness. I can tell you that I can always hear it.

Hey folks - so someone mailed me seriously depressed and thinking about hurting themselves. I typed a pretty long reply and while I'm sure it's all been said before (spelling mistakes and all!) I think it's always good to keep this stuff at the forefront of your mind - especially for new people...
