Update: Well, TT. It's about time I stop feeling sorry for myself and going crazy about my T and H. Just today, I watched the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", and it got me in a sad mood where I yelled in agony and teared up; causing a spike in my T and my eye to hurt/blurry...

Time to move on.

Hello, Lynnette. Things are ok for the most part. Yeah, I was bummed about losing my job, but I will get another one. I went through the gauntlet of tests and my official diagnosis from a neurotologist (ENT/neurologist) is Tinnitus and Hyperaccusis. He then suggested Tinnitus Retraining...

Wow, Markku. I've been taking Lipo-Flavonoids with 1mg of B6 per pill for two months now. I know it's a small dose, but it adds up. I just read the wiki page on B6 and got scared out of my life. Should I be worried?

A local ENT suggested taking Melatonin. I took a time-released 3mg dose for about 2 weeks, and was sleeping relatively well until I started having disturbingly vivid dreams for two consecutive nights. The ENT warned me about this, and suggested cutting the pills and half to see how it goes. I...

Hey, Ben. I'm relatively new to T and H, and I give you credit for dealing with yours for so long. It's good that you have a career on which to focus. I'm not sure on what advise to give you since you've undergone so many treatments and, I'm guessing, have heard every trick in the book to help...

I have an appointment with a therapist at a behavioral health clinic this coming week for a psychiatric evaluation. A psychiatrist might be there was well. I imagine that I've been getting plenty of vitamin B from my daily multivitamins and Lipo-Flavonoids, but I might try taking a straight...

I was at my friend's house. At first, we had it down low, but he turned it up a little when I put on the ear muffs. It might have been around 75 db which is my discomfort level on my right side. I noticed my T spiking during play but just ignored it. I also had some cotton in my ears most of...

My neurologist prescribed Prednisone for the migraines and pain associated with my T and H , and it helped bring down the volume of my T pretty well. Even though it might bring it down a little, do not think you are safe and can subject yourself to loud noises again. I hope it works out.

Hey guys. I'm back due to a spike after playing a video game with gunshots. I was wearing some ear muffs, but they weren't tight enough around my ears. Now, my T is up to about a 4, 5, or 6. I'm also starting to hear some lower pitched beeping that sounds like pulsatile T in my right bad...

I'm going to wait a little while before I take on a new job.

Update: I lost my job today. I was told that it wasn't going to work out, and I agreed with them. I haven't been there in spirit, and I've been so foggy that my work and concentration has faltered. Plus, I took too many days off for doctoring, some of which were probably unnecessary. It was...

Hey, Stina. Thanks for the advice. I'll ask tomorrow.

Update: A loud microwave spiked my T in my right ear. I hope this isn't permanent. It hurt. I'm going for more testing at another ENT tomorrow. Ugh! This stinks! :(

Update: the only thing that seems to work in helping hearing my autophony sounds (breating, footsteps) again and making me feel normal is putting in earplugs. I am trying not to over use them, though. Any input on that would be appreciated. Thanks -Chum Edit: I'm also at my desk wearing...
