Also for sleeping mix it with melatonine, some people find it useful

Please be wise with your benzo use. I use them also due to sleep issues. Things do get better I have up to 6 different tones and are so severe and unmaskable at times. Im sorry that you are in a difficult situation.

Love and respect

Is there any way you could spend time somewhere where the noise bothers you less, at least few hours every day? I don't know, just a suggestion. Walking around, sitting on a quiet beach, or anything? I know it's not a cure. I just don't like the idea of getting addicted to benzos.

I'm 25 years old. How am I going to endure a lifetime of suffering like this? All the time left before me is going to be a pure torture with these terrible noises in my head.

Don't give up yet, Lenire and Frequency Therapeutics are coming.

@ChrisBoyMonkey But how much more time should we expect suffering this torture? Is true that Lenire is my only hope. But I don't know how to endure all these months until they give me an appointment. Every day is pure torture.

You're right, it's probably going to take months, but the way we must endure for now is to do what we can to make it easier for us to take it day by day, with each day getting closer to sweet relief.

The strategy I am doing is doing the same things I loved before the tinnitus. I focus on these things because they are still there right now with the noise, and they will still be there once the noise is gone.

Oh, I know how you feel. Please stay! I just tried to answer your reply but the message went error and called it a spam?!

:((( I know the feeling, it will get better <3 message me plz. Don’t do anything definitive. I will keep you in my prayers.

Hi acute, you responded to one of my posts last week. Like you said, we are in very similar situations and I'm sorry you're feeling this way. If you need someone to chat with, feel free to PM me! (however that works)

Hi @ChrisRA! If you don't mind, I will answer you by PM to explain myself better :)

"It is normal for T to slide back after an improvement. The daily fluctuations are irrelevant. What is important are the global lows and the monthly trend. If you have been experiencing some fading, this is a wonderful news. In a year or two you will feel a lot better."

I wouldn't be making that comment if I wasn't convinced that it was true. This is something I learned as a result of having T and reading this forum for many months. Feeling better (on average) compared to a month or two ago is all that matters.

You could talk to Dr. Shulman. He wrote books about tinnitus. He would know a lot more than anyone here. I’ve been talking to him lately. Even stress could cause tinnitus. I don’t know if you had any stressful things happen at the time you first had tinnitus? The brain can do some weird things to people under stress.
