Hey @Utdmad89 - how are you keeping? Did Clomipramine help you at all?

Thinking about you Delta. Hope the clomipramine gives you some respite.

Struggling a little bit at the minute, but overall loads better than 1-2 years ago. How are you doing?

I feel that, @delta784 - sorry to hear it's non-stop. Keep us updated on how the gabapentin works out.

I'm okay at the minute. More importantly, how are you?

My fingers are crossed for you, mate. Taking it day by day feels so difficult but you're doing great.

I'm sorry I can't give you amazing advice (I don't even know if exposure is a good idea, or whether silence is best...), but please hang on for symptoms to improve. Message me on here as and when you need; sorry if I take a while to get back to you.

Hi @vilebubbles. My T was dreadful - multiple new tones per week (sometimes per day), a rapid increase in volume and sporadic reactive tinnitus. My hearing actually started to echo somewhat, which was very bizarre. The H and N became debilitating, more so the H thankfully. This really impeded me...
