@GeorgeLG, thanks for your wisdom. I can relate to what you say so well. My experiences are pretty much the same as yours. Childhood trauma (emotional neglect), hearing abuse in my teenage years out of frustration and rebelliousness, without having any awareness of the need to protect it. I was...

Don't give up hope. At the moment scientists are working round the clock to find a cure. Be glad you have no hyperacusis and be grateful that you can still work and take care of yourself. I have accepted the fact that I have good days and bad days, good nights and bad nights. It is what it is...

Dear fellow tinnitus sufferers, I got tinnitus in 2012, due to loud noise exposure in a clothing store. But I already had a history of loud noise as a result of listening to rock music, going to concerts and, last but not least, playing drums for many years. So that incident at the clothing...

Hi Melanie, A lot of people are confronted with tinnitus sooner or later in their lives. You may ask yourself: Where did it come from? Maybe you have to go way back in time. When you used to listen to music through headphones, when you went to a concert of your favorite rock band, when you went...

Of course we are all desperate and want our silence back. Personally I'm willing to spend some money on Silencil. The guy who claims to have come up with this tinnitus drug seems to be honest and sincere. I just can't imagine he would have made up all of this just for money. His story seems real...

If you have a better solution, please tell us. And thanx for your respectful reaction.

That's exactly what I mean. If you fight and resist you just create negative energy and that's very destructive. If you accept and embrace you create hope, positivity and peace of mind. It's a form of mindfulness and it really works. It's not what you perceive, but how you perceive it. You just...

Hey Tommy, I would just like to say: Accept it and embrace it. That's really all you need to do. It's your body's natural response to noise exposure for decades, and you just have to respect that. It's reaction to action. You expose your hearing to excessive noise over a long period of time and...

That's quite a philosophical look at it. You might be right, never looked at it that way. Thanx.

@Grace19, I also can't believe there is practically no information out there to warn people for the dangers of loud noise and the risk of damaging one's hearing and developing tinnitus. It's surreal... I had never heard about tinnitus until I got it. People are told over and over and over again...

@Óscar PP, I agree with you, TRT never worked for me either. I can understand that regenerating hair cells is a bridge too far scientifically, it just sounds too unbelievable . I just don't believe in fairy tales, dead hair cells are dead... But I'm not even talking about regenerating hair...

@Clinton Ross, I understand what you mean. My trust in the medical world took a devastating blow when I heard that Frequency Therapeutics recently had very disappointing results regarding their latest FX-322 trial. David Lucchino, their CEO, obviously knew about this, but deliberately kept...

Hi Asquared, sorry to hear you have to deal with this, looks like a combination of several causes. I advise you to not panic, stress is a huge factor in causing tinnitus. When I'm stressed mine goes through the roof, my hearing is ultra sensitive anyway. If I forget to drink enough water or eat...

If I were you, I'd sell the house and move somewhere else as soon as possible. In 70-80% of the cases people move somewhere else because of bad neighbours.

Hey Derek, Tinnitus is a cross we all have to bear in this online community, and just like the rest of us you will find a way and deal with it. But it's tough. Tinnitus is the most underestimated affliction in the world because it's invisible. You can look just fine but feel like a total wreck...
