Sure is - bad on me. I should've checked that.

Fail. Sigh. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/auris-medical-stock-slumps-54-premarket-as-company-says-tinnitus-trial-missed-goals-2016-08-18-7913351

I don't. I look for signs I will regain my hearing and silence the ringing and I see nothing remotely on the horizon. And I get depressed. Sorry.

Well, I believe you! For whatever that's worth. :dunno:

I hate this word and the concept. I read it as accepting your handicap and pain. I'm not habituated, I'm pissed off. Not that it accomplishes anything. I guess it's just my nature (and those who can acclimate are surely better off).

I worry that I will decay and become nothing of use to my own family. Three years in, the ringing is loud as ever and I fear my hearing has deteriorated. What happens two years from now? Five? I feel your pain, Astro.

Been on the ginkgo train for three months myself. Zippo.

I'm convinced I will die with the last sound I hear a ringing in my otherwise useless ears. But I'm a pessimist.

I wear hearing aids. They do not fix the T and they get my hearing to about 85 percent of normal. I take niacin, ginkgo, magnesium, Triamterene, CoQ10 and used to take melatonin, prednosone, Florical and I forget what else. I'm a damn pharmacy. Depression mess won't change the hearing loss or the T.

No. After three-to-four years, I'm miserable. My T and hearing loss are dominating my life. I am quite definitely handicapped by this. There is no more chance of "habituation" than one would have of "accepting" waking up each morning to a beating and then simply going about your day. Nor should...

I had my first child at age 41. The next one arrived before I turned 43. That was about the same time my ears and brain went to hell. Ringing. Pulsating. Sensitivity. Ungodly pressure. And very substantial hearing loss. It's been about four years and the nightmare rages on. Surgery send hearing...
