Thank you so much. I really hope you're right and your response makes me feel much better. I appreciate it :)

Thank you so much! One last question (I've done some reading but there's so much information): when you say marketed in 2017, do you mean commercially available for everyone (not just for people in trials)? And it will actually reduce my tinnitus? I hope I'm not bothering you, but if a drug that...

Thank you for this! Sorry it took a while to respond, I just started school again. I am genuinely hoping it is my anxiety and not an increase, but either way I need to start the road back to habituation. I've never heard of D-Met before! Also, does AM 101 just take away spikes or will it reduce...

I'm still trying to be positive. But today I am very angry with myself. For 3 years almost my T didn't really bother me. I couldn't sleep without masking but that was about it. However for the last almost month my T has spiked or I have allowed myself to be anxious over it and am perceiving it...

I'm studying abroad in the Fall of this year and I plan on seeing as much of Europe as possible while I'm there. Traveling is my passion. I wouldn't let it stop you! Just do some research on how to protect your ears while on the plane. I've read on here that plenty of people have taken long...

The last few weeks have been frustrating for me. I've had T since I was 15 and am 19 now. I had habituated nicely and it was to the point where I could read in my dorm or study in a quiet study room without any masking noise and be just fine (as in I wouldn't hear my T at all). I had a setback...

Thank you so much. That's awesome that you got to have two years of *near* silence! That makes me hopeful. I haven't taken any new medications or been exposed to new loud noises, in this case I think my focusing on it has made my perception of it worse. This has become a vicious cycle because...

I think (I'm praying) that I allowed myself to hear it and be stressed out again. After exams, I didn't have as much to focus on because I got some down time. So I started listening for it and becoming upset by it which has amplified it. I appreciate your response and hopefully I will be able to...

Thank you so much. That was really helpful to hear as I'm still stressed out by it and allowing myself to get frustrated. I was doing so so well with it, but after my final exams it took hold of me again. I hadn't been exposed to any new and loud sounds so I'm assuming it's just my anxiety. I...

I've had T for almost 4 years. I'm only 19. My guess is I got it from listening to music too loudly with headphones. I always sleep with a fan on and honestly for a long time it hadn't bothered me much at all. I wouldn't think about it and really wouldn't hear it because I tried my best to avoid...

I'm 19 and this February will be my 4 year mark with tinnitus. It started after a trip to the Bahamas where I was snorkeling almost daily and sleeping with the kind of earplugs you get for cheap from the drugstore (Idk if this is relevant). Usually I only hear it in the silence, but when it's...
