So 1 year ago I thought I'd go crazy from this. I thought the idea of this ring would be my undoing. 12 months later and I don't even have a clue who the weak and scared person I used to be. Once I stopped dwelling on it and analyzed all my hearing tests I realized I can sink or swim. With 2...

Hi Jason, I'm so new to this that I'm not good for advice but do listen to the people on this board. I'm week 2 into this and have found what aRC, Mark, and Erik to say to be true. I was so anxious at first that I lost 14 lbs in 6 days. My PCP put me on Xanax as I had myself so worked up. I had...

This is what my audiologist said today. I had my hearing test; huge relief to find out I have the hearing of a teenager and no visual reason for the tinnitus. She said 8 in 10 people, if put in the soundproof room would hear a hum, pitch, or frequency of some sort. She along with my ENT and...

Amen Matt!! With so many suffering, not sure why it's not more in the spotlight...

Amen Alex, amen...and WHEN it goes away, i'm going to advocate for the people who suffer from this and do whatever I can to raise awareness...

Thank you for the detailed response Kaelon. My sister lives in Milton MA. I use to travel to Waltham quite a bit for work prior to changing companies. You have helped more than the ENT who handed me a pamphlet on tinnitus and basically said good luck. My PcP is a very caring Doctor and is...

I'm really new too and in the same mental boat. I am able to get some peace and distraction throughout the day but night is scary. If I can do anything let me know. Not sure if it helps you, but I read Phillipians 4,4-9 in the bible. I'm just thanking God each day he helps me through and remain...

Do you hear the noise or was it just the pop and pain that have you freaked out???

Thank you Kaelon...to update everyone. I was having a good day. There are still times I find myself searching for the noise during the day, which I take as positive. I had a Dr. Follow up today. My ENT discovered I'm severely allergic to many things, so many that he said I qualify for a shot...

Oh ok, I hope you aren't in pain or Anything. I will always pray for everyone affected by this forever

Thank you for your advice and positive thoughts. I really appreciate it!!!

Thank you Kathi. I'm trying to do that; it just causes so much anxiety. I've been praying and reading and doing what I can to stay positive. I have ENT appt tomorrow as well as primary visit. Audiologist on Wednesday. Do you all think I have overreacted too quickly on this? Tomorrow is...

Sorry for you...could you lete know what your acronym for LP is? You said it decreased the volume??

God bless you all. It is very hard and these words are so encouraging. I am praying and do hope that it subsides. I do have moments throughout the day once and a while here I think it's off and find myself running to a quiet room to see. Then I realize it's there just lower or I pushed it off...

hi all, day started off great...ringing was there...but took my son to play in the snow for 2 hours. Found myself concentrating on the noise a few time but it seemed good. Come in and wham, it seemed more intense for a long time. I'm actually listening to white noise while I write this to take...
