Contrast, the ENT can set me up with the molds I need for my in-ears. Also, because I believe he can give me some good advice or at least give me some direction. If he can’t/doesn’t, then I move on from there. Fifth Business, it is a tricky situation, but you get that. I let my band know...

I REALLY appreciate this, Michael! Thank you!

Thank you.

Yes, I understand that. That is what I am doing. And I get that I am putting myself in a dire situation when I finish these last two shows. What I am asking for is how you cope emotionally. What steps do you take every day to accept what is going on in your brain? Do you meditate? Do you...

I checked on local tinnitus support groups, locally. There was one person in my area, so I sent him an email. Just hoping he will respond. So, in the mean time, so that I don’t think that Life is hopeless, can I at least get an idea of how you cope with tinnitus.

I am not trying to negate anything anyone is saying. I’m trying to take this all in. No doubt loud music has effected me. Why it started so loudly on a random day is what threw me off. Whatever the cause, it is here. I only came here for support. The advice and experiences are all...

I am diligently wearing ear plugs throughout the day to protect my ears until I can get in to my ENT. It’s the best I can do at this moment. I am certainly not exposed to loud music on a regular basis, however I understand that ANY volume or even vibration can make it worse. The damage has...

Fifth Business, so true. I gladly welcome all experienced opinions. But I have to take them as such until I can talk to my ENT. Unfortunately I can’t get in until Sept. Sitting on a cancellation list currently. Have to wait patiently and try to stay positive.

Yeah..I’ve been reading about that, too. I’ve been reading this forum for several days. You guys will be my life line.

Michael, thank you for your response. I thoroughly respect your advice. I am in a difficult situation in respect to the performances coming up. A lot of money/production, and people, are relying on these shows. It’s a crappy position to be in. Yes, my health and hearing should come first...

I’ve had low level tinnitus for awhile. However, I have been dealing with general anxiety disorder and was suffering from panic attacks daily. My doctor prescribed Lexapro and on the second day (a month ago) I experienced loud ringing in my head. I immediately let my doctor know and she...

Well, here I am just like so many others concerned with what lies ahead on this new tinnitus journey. Just want to introduce myself and ride along with you on this ever growing train ❤️

Anxious but hopeful that I will learn coping skills through the wisdom of long term tennitus sufferers.
