Personally, I'd choose peace of mind over silence.

Hi, The struggle is real, but it gets better with time. Chances are that your tinnitus will either go away, as it does in many cases or you will learn to live with it without it being anything more than a nuisance. Why would you assume it will get worse? Just take care of ears, live healthy...

Great! Nice to hear that. I hope you get your hearing back. It sounds like you are already beyond obsessing over your tinnitus and habituated to it. It is easier to resolve tinnitus with a definite cause, if it falls under the umbrella of a treatable version. Get well soon! G'day.

With due respect, I don't really fret over the opinion of any Tom, Dick and Harry over the internet. I wasn't born to please anyone. You've lived in your house for the last 7 years and that must have been tough. My heart goes out to you. But that does not mean someone else must face the same...

If electricity is causing my tinnitus then there is no escape. If I were made to choose between tinnitus and electricity, what would I choose? Ah, that's a thinker.

Let's not be dismissive. If this is how she feels, this is how she feels. I for the longest time have felt that all the radio frequencies, mobile phones, Wi-Fi etc have contributed to my tinnitus. That's what we do when we don't know for sure. G'day.

No, actually not. But then, just stepping out of your house and crossing the road could put you at risk of being run over by a car. It is the probability that matters. You can't just stay indoors all your life, can you?

Well, you seem to have completely overlooked the fact that he will be wearing 'double protection' to this event. Hence, chances are that it won't have any impact on his tinnitus.

I know what you mean. There are far too many people out there who will use your misery to make a quick buck. Kills your faith in the system. You've got it rough, but you've still managed. More power to you!

I am torn between Yes and No. No, because why would you want to risk it? Chances are that it won't have any impact on your tinnitus, but, the stress might cause a spike. So, why go through it? Yes, because why would you want to restrict yourself from enjoying something when you can easily...

Oh, there is always hope! Tinnitus does get better for most people. It takes time, but it gets better. Of course, for some it does not get better and you will have a majority of such cases on online forums looking for support. The people on such support forums represent only a small minority...

Hi Juan, Perhaps it is common sense for you, but it isn't for most people. It can be very distressing in the initial few months and it helps a lot when someone lays down the process of habituation. It often helps you get there faster than you 'naturally' would. More importantly, it gives...

Mild hearing loss at 50+ is actually an excellent result. My Audiologist told me that mild hearing loss isn't severe enough to cause tinnitus. The hearing loss needs to be much worse to 'cause' tinnitus. Looks like you have somatic tinnitus. Have you tried massaging your neck and head to see...

Absolutely! Stress almost always causes a spike, or makes me notice it more. Strangely, fast food and sugar makes me feel better. I mean, it does not quieten my tinnitus but just puts me in a better frame of mind to cope with the noise. I wonder why. Also, off late I have started to notice...

Would you count three years as long term, or short term? Well, we can indeed take any test/procedure with minimal effort. All we need to do is - ask. Not assuming, hoping. I never said what worked for me 'will' work for you. Anyway, no more clarifications. Of course. I understand that...
