my ENT suggested this to me the other day. If it weren't so blasted expensive I'd probably give it a try but it's not a one and done deal with acupuncture. :( Maybe in the spring I'll give it a try when hubby's pay is a little more.

personally for me, I prefer not to use masking unless absolutely necessary. I've had to deal with habituation three times now. This time it seemed to come pretty fast because like above "I who love music" said, my response to the T is more important in the habituation process. I just simply say...

this is me too yawning doesn't change it very much

my husband is sympathetic, but doesn't understand really. He prefers to take the "tough it out " approach to illnesses and the like so me moaning about a noise in my ear wouldn't go over well. That's why I come here.

For the first time since 1999 I'm going to have an MRI specifically for my tinnitus. This is horrible for me for a number of reasons. A. I'm terribly claustrophobic. I've called around and managed to schedule a "semi open" MRI. I used this same place 3 years ago so I should be ok. B. I...

Awesome post! Thank you for sharing this!

How do I cope with tinnitus? I tell my tinnitus "I don't care about you". Sometimes I do it literally out loud. I use masking when I need it and try to distract myself so I'm not focusing on it constantly.

eternity in hell seems a bit worse than living with Tinnitus... thinking of you.

Brilliant posts Mick! Just brilliant. So happy for you.

Remember, most of us that have had it a long time, we aren't "dealing with it"... We just simply have tinnitus. It doesn't have us. My tinnitus slowly became something I no longer worried about, reacted to or cared about. And I have both pulsitile and ringing tinnitus. The only reason I came...

other than the actual noise in my ear? lol I worry it will get worse, and the other thing that annoys me is that I'm constantly thinking about it ever since it spiked back in December. I've been doing really good with staying positive and taking the "I could care less" approach, but frankly...

Posts like this are so vital for everyone to read! Love reading this!!!

when my pulsitile tinnitus started I had no idea what it was. I spent many years just living with it. Then I began utilizing my new friend Google and discovered what it was, learning about ringing tinnitus also. By this time I'd habituated to the PT. But I remember thinking, while learning...

this works well for my T for masking and allows me to relax quite well. It's not a cheap app by any means but I absolutely love it and for me, it was worth every penny spent. I don't recall if the initial app costs, but you do get five or six tracks with the app, and then there are additional...
