Hey @Yuuls It’s been the same for me, but it has gotten easier. I used to dread getting in my car alone, or sitting in my office by myself because the silence made the ringing seem louder. I'm still not doing great with it, but partial masking has helped a lot. Basically just putting on...

I’m 25. Got tinnitus after a fever about 3 months ago. It’s still got me in a pretty intense depression, but I’m dealing with it much better now than I was during the first few weeks. Hoping this depression will soon leave me, and I can get back to moving through life the way I used to.

So when I tense up my head and neck the tinnitus in my left ear (the only one that rings) gets much much louder. If my tinnitus is somatic and related to my neck, has anyone done anything for this that worked? I’ve seen a chiropractor and an upper cervical chiropractor. I’ve also gotten several...

Same thing happens to me. After the shower it spikes up a bit, and then usually dies down after using the hairdryer. I flip my head upside down when I dry my hair. I wonder if that has something to do with it...

Hi Dr. Nagler, Thanks so much for being a resource here. I am almost 3 months into my tinnitus, and have done the usual round of doctors that many of those on this forum have tried. 2 ENTs, 2 Chiropractors, 2 Audiologists, my GP, etc. All hearing tests came back normal. The last thing I have...

@Michael Leigh, I’m interested in hearing about your experience with TRT as I’ve read you have had success with it multiple times. If you could PM me that would be great. Started a “mini” TRT program four weeks ago at the recommendation of a tinnitus specialist in Southern California and I’m...

I know it’s unlikely that people who have truly habituated would stick around here much, but does anyone who has completely habituated (to the point that they no longer think about tinnitus at least 90 percent of the time) want to volunteer to be my habituation support? As in I just need someone...

Hey everyone, I’ve been lurking for the past three weeks and finally decided to reach out for support. I’m tired and depressed, and I’m mourning a life I had not four weeks ago where everything was ok and I didn’t think about tinnitus all the time. I need to get out of this recurring pattern...

Hey there. Was hoping to talk more about your experience, as I'm three weeks into my own tinnitus and not really coping all that well. What's the best way to contact you? If that's alright with you of course!
