    Sudden and Unexplained

    Welcome, Michael! The bad news is you're here. The good news is you're here! I'm encouraged by the folks who have shared that their tinnitus has helped them take better care of themselves and re-define their priorities (like making/taking the time to learn to play an instrument!). Hope you find...

    Habituate...

    Thanks for sharing, Jeff! I realized recently that I have been giving T permission to reign. I was listening to some music the other day and actually enjoying it, which I've not been able to do.

    So Glad I Found You!

    I've been experiencing classic 'ringing in the ears' tinnitus for so long I can't remember when it started, and then pulsatile tinnitus kicked in as well about 8 years ago. At the time I found very little support for PT online. An ENT very begrudgingly put me through a couple tests (carotid...
