I've been doing this for 6 months so far. I've been to the T clinic to recalibrate my hearing aids 3 times since. This could take a year or less, or longer It will give my brain an opportunity to reduce the severity of my T but of course this is not certain it will help. The cost is expensive...

I have tinnitus at at 95 % scale on the international tinnitus questionnaire. I attended the Tinnitus Clinic in London, and it was decided to try desensitisation using hearing aids which omit a white noise sound and also have slight amplification. I wear the hearing aids for 8 hours a day. I...

I have T for 2 years, I'm a 95% on the T International questionnaire. I have started desensitisation wearing hearing aids. The aids do two things, omit a noise to drown out my T and amplify exterior noises. I only have a very small high frequency hearing loss. My question if anyone would know...

I would as I've been through hell with Lyme disease and now have chronic T as well.

I am diagnosed with Lyme disease from Arminlabs in Germany. I took a 10 day treatment of doxy twice a day. I already had T from the bacteria entering my ears. My doxy treatment did not increase my T. I advise any reader to get tested for Lyme ASAP if they think they have it. It affected my...

Had a heart Mri today. My T is at a very high level. I think it has pushed it further tonight, my head is screaming even more. The operator of the machine was talking to me and it was so loud I pressed the button to get out. Seriously they don't care. I told her the volume was so high and I...

I have taken omega 3, 6 and 9 daily for three months, no decrease in my T.

Would anyone from Ireland know from their own expierence of a very good counselor or otherwise to help with tinnitus. I have attended deaf ear a number of times already but am looking for something with tinnitus counselling. Psychodynamic or something very specialised. I have been recommended...

I was afraid to fly but as I had to go to the tinnitus clinic I did it and am relieved to say it was all ok, there was no spike in my T. Thank goodness its so bad anyway. My flight was Two and a half hours in the same day, 2 flights. I look forward to flying again!

I recently attended the London Tinnitus Clinic and have been recommended TDT, tinnitus desensitisation treatment. This involves wearing hearing aid like devices with noise like my T for a number of hours a day, gradually increasing useage. At night I am to use my phone via bluetooth for sound...

I'm not sure. I filled in about five surveys. I am thinking my mental state may have been seen to be too poor, but that's only a guess. I have chronic T so that is not the reason I don't think. I was a bit surprised being refused. As they say they have a criteria, I'm thinking this is just to...

Lovey dress. Yes very stylish indeed! Hope you don't upstage the bride! Enjoy the big day!

I want to get a cat again but was waiting to see if I have to travel for T treatment to the UK. But they sure are therapy and I wish I had one the last year of hell..but it won't stop me dreaming...theres always the future... Be great to have about 10! All different personalties! Was a dog...

Got into the assesment stage and seen last week for mutebutton. Lots of questions. And a hearing test was done. Was refused the trial today. Waiting three months to see if I would go through. Part of the reason we hear so little about mute button is they make you sign an agreement along with...

I am very sorry to hear Valeri of how you are feeling, I am in a bad space too. I understand about arriving at an appointment and been told theres nothing they can do. I am desperate to get help. I, like you waited for a psychiatrist appointment, at first I was refused twice so my anxiety went...
