Hi: My tinnitus started about a month ago and ca,me out of nowhere. My first few days I th9ught I was losing my mind and really didn't think I was going to survive. It was literally driving me crazy. A doc who gave me atavan to deal with the panic attacks, and that saved me. Since then, I am dealing with it better, but it is still ruining my life.
Its VERY loud, often getting to a volume that makes it impossible to think, read or sleep.
I lot of people have said "You get used to it". This is hard to believe, but I have heard that a lot, so it must be true. Honestly, it is is very depressing and making plans for any kind of future is very hard to contemplate.
Does anyone else out there have it this loud? Does it diminish? Anyone with successful treatments, especially hearing aids? How about homeopathic methods?
Any help would be appreciated.
