Finally saw someone from ENT, anything that was there that would explain the start and persistance of my T is non existant, I was offered CBT if I wished, I turned this down as I feel that I'm almost habituated already. I've been told that I have rhinitus, which is nothing new since I have...

I know it's been said before by others but I found walking and jogging helped my anxiety. For sleep have you tried turning / leaving your TV on to generate some noise to distract you til you're too tired to stay awake? I use both a fan and my TV to drown the noise out at night if it gets...

The T is still there, if I listen out for it I get the noise. Most of the time I'm not hearing it at all anymore. I've actually been quite in in regards to other symptoms but my doctor is started to suspect a corellation between my eustachian tube problem and my other issue. Essentially at the...

Hi Rob, When I first noticed my T back in January I was acting similar, I broke down several times etc. I can't give as much information as everyone else above has given you but in regards to habituation I never thought it would happen either and without even thinking about it 2-3 months later...

Hopefully we do, the only time I hear the T is when it spikes for about 10-15 seconds, it quickly fades after that.

Hello all, I just wanted to post an update for my 4 months anniversary with T. I know this seems to be said about habituation but for anyone who is new with / trying to cope with T but for my case (mild/moderate) it does get better. I spend most of my time no longer actually hearing it and...

So whilst I've been told that I'm pretty much 100% going to lose the T after my eustachian tubes lose their inflammation and the fluid that's stuck behind them drains by 4 doctors (3 family doctors and 1 ENT), and also that I've had a major reduction in what my T was like when I had the onset in...

When it comes to music / anything sound related I generally set the volume to 60% and I've noticed no problems. I've been meaning to purchase a dcb meter just to satisfy my own curiosity in regards to the noise certain parts of everyday activity cause. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't loud...

In regards to working in loud workplaces and listening to loud music, have you had a hearing test to see if you have hearing loss? That was one of my major worries when I had the onset of my tinnitus, due to my use of headphones in the workplace. I had two hearing tests done, one was within the...

I should probably clear up that I was only having the anxiety in the first 2-3 weeks. I know it seems really early to call this but I think I've partially habituated to the noise. Thankfully I saw my doctors quite early on so they steared me away from all the remedies etc that I found from...

That was one of the main problems for me early on too, in that I was quite anxious about the T and it made the entire time seem worse. I've come to accept it, in it's current state that it is. I'm rarely if at all noticing it in every day life right now. My goal is to just let my ears get on...

Week 7.5? (I think.) update, I've went to the doctors about a week earlier in regards to my 8 week appointment as I'm busy next week and won't really have a chance. The doctor, who I've seen previously, has checked both my ears and the fluid is no longer actively visible behind them. Although...

Hi everyone, The fluid built back up quite badly this week. Bringing the T back with it to a constant volume that I can hear. I've definitely noticed that it's not as loud as it once was. I've started taking decongestants again in an effort to clear my sinuses and hopefully allow the fluid to...

I've had a weekend of near silence, the T was only audible during the night, very faintly, or when my ears were fully blocked up - earbuds with nothing coming through etc. It seems to be staying like this, beside the random spike once or twice a day. I'm still in week 6 of the 6-8 weeks recovery...

Yet again, another day in where the T has been considerably low in both ears, except for the odd spike now and then. These spikes seem to last 10-20 seconds in total before fading again in to the background. I'm back to where I was nearing the start of my experience with T in regards to that I'm...
