It's been a while since I've been here. Are things looking better for tinnitus treatments since a year ago? Any major updates? Dec 11, 2022

      The perfect pill would be taken everyday for sleep, stop T the next day and protect your ears. Too bad it doesn't exist. Good night.

        Even sunblock combined with bug repellent (which you would think is a lot more mainstream) doesn't exist...

      I am now currently in my quiet room eating BBQ crispers chips and have almost complete silence. Maybe chips is the cure. WTF. lol

        As long as you don't hurt your ears a second time (especially over the next three years), you ought to be fine.

      Glad I could barely hear it this morning but it gets louder every night or when lying down. Less anxious right now though. Hope it goessss.

        Hey man, I'm four months in and know how you're feeling. Some days are hell, others are a bit more tolerable. I've had some mornings where I've woken up to silence as well, and assume this is a good sign, so hang in there. It seems that most people do get better, it just takes a lot of time which isn't an easy fact to accept this early in the game. If you need to talk feel free to send me a message.

      Lorazepam helped me for a bit. I felt a bit like myself again. If I can control my anxiety I may be alright. I think I can sleep tonight...

        Had the mildest T since I took lorazepam at 8pm last night to 6 pm tonight. I even fell asleep after the lorazepam had worn off. Hopefully these are good signs. T gets loud every night but quiets in morning.

      Does this actually get better? Only slept one hour last night. I'm suffering. May need to ask for sleeping pills.

        This is a normal reaction during the first few months. Make sure to try masking. Playing nature sounds gives you something else to listen to besides your T.

        You will want to make sure that you don't hurt your ears during this period of vulnerability as your body is healing. You will want to avoid taking ototoxic drugs, avoid microsuction or syringing (performed when you need to clean wax out of your ears; a manual tool should be used), and not let your dental hygienist use an ultrasonic scaling tool on you (a manual tool should be used). For more details, see

      Sitting here at 2am listening to the fridge. Ears feel at peace. Some sense of quiet at last. A sign I should stop looking for the T.

      Taking a break from this site. Been reading too much negatively. Will finish off by reading some success stories.

      Only hearing a slight ringing in the left ear and static hissing in the right ear now. Gives me hope it will get better. Scared to sleep.

      Ears are hurting today. Feeling head and ear pressure. Stressed out even though I've been trying to relax. Hopefully will get better.

      Saw my GP today. She told me she believes the T will go away. Quiet all day today except for bad flare up tonight. Trying to sleep now. :(
