I could see another specialist but it usually takes months to get an appointment and then 3 visits because they want to do it their way. Not to mention the cash which is running low. Damned if I do damned if I don’t. Thanks thou you definitely have me thinking

He explained it as best he could for me to understand. He brought a handful of students with him. He basically said that since that considering that the ringing was in both ears there would be no point working on it. Not to mention my insurance wouldn’t pay for the scan so I had to fork out 2...

Good luck too you. I’ve been struggling with bad T for over 2 years so I’ve already lost hope

I have the same problem with the doctors. Everyone says they cant help and don't know who can. Tried everything. Been over 2 years and driving me crazy. I feel trapped between tomorrow and yesterday. Yesterday was bad, today everyone says give it time it will get better. Tomorrow its...

where did you grow up? I have exostosis in one ear. I grew up in Ohio and work offshore as a diver. My diving doctor told me that cold water promotes bone growth when your younger. His wife works for sea world and he does all their physicals and he told me most of the workers that are in...

Sounds like we went to the same person.

So just a quick update. Went to the psychologist and explained the brain fog and how it was driving me crazy along with the tinnitus. I said it was making me suicidal and she she didn’t feel comfortable treating me because of the lack of knowledge with tinnitus. Gave me a prescription for...

Tried widex/zen maskers for months straight with zero. That’s when my ENT said it might be something else. Send me to a specialist. He found something but said there was nothing he could do. Have a nice day. I realize T isn’t fatal but when everyone says your brain will get used too it for...

I haven't read "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by Dr. David D. Burns but Im reading rewiring tinnitus by Glenn Schweitzer. Also doing "back to the silence" The books a struggle because of the lack of concentration but working on it. Normally this book would take me a day but not...

I think its getting worse because of age and my unemployment. I have more time on my hands to hear my T. But for all you people going to say get out there and get moving and you will get used to it. I used to work out in the am and now I just feel so crappy in the morning all I can think...

Im going to try to answer the questions but if I miss something Im sorry. Not sure why it got worse over the last few years. Lost my job but have enough cash to keep me going for a while. Not to mention I think my work is part of the reason why I have T. I tried taking anti depressants for a...

This just might end up being a rant because my tinnitus kept me up most of the night so it's angry and screaming all morning. I had tinnitus for over 6 years and real bad for the last 2. I have seen 3 ENTs 1 specialist 2 psychologist- one was a nutbag 1 cranial sacral therapist 1 nutritionist...

That still doesn’t help the crappy concentration. I walk around in a daze and hate feeling that stupid. If I could clear my head I’d be good. I can do mind over matter with pain until it’s the mind letting me down. So until I can clear my head and focus on dealing with every day stuff and pull...

The only thing that seems to help is drinking and a lortab when its bad. Don't think it does anything but makes you concentrate on the ringing less. Drunk or high is a crappy way to exist so I had to stop

There is a pillow out there that has a speaker in it and you can send and sounds to it thru Bluetooth Helped me for a while. Its quite enough that it wont bother a partner.
