@aura how's your tee? do you continue with the new tones? when I went on vacation last month I acquired new tones also with everyday sounds and it is very frustrating as we are going backwards.
@PortugalTheMan it's been 2 weeks with the new sound, a high pitched, itermintent, a morse code " eeee". It's the worst of all. I was about to ask here how could i mask it,nothing seems to work...
@PortugalTheMan , to be honest, i don't think i'll ever get rid of it. I only hope that i will habituate one day, just like i did 10 years ago. My biggest fear is that more sounds wil appear. Because that's what happened in the last months.
@PortugalTheMan you can read my old posts for more details...but long story short i developed tinnitus for the first time in 2012 from what i remember. It took me about 1-2 yrs to habituate. After that, i lived a normal life until january 2021 .
In january i developed debilitating headaches ( vestibular/stress migraines from what i've been told). I had them almost daily for almost 2 months. Because they were resistent to any kind of pain killers, i had to take a break from my job and my life that period.
But the problem was that the constant pain almost drove me insane. I've been prescribed antidepressants and sleeping pills. And the antipsychotic drugs were just around the corner, that's what the psychiatrist told me. I wasn't depressed,i was just insane because of the constant pain.
After the hardest battle of my life, i managed somehow to sleep again and to get back on track. And just when i thought that the nightmare was over, boom.Tinnitus again. This time louder, and with new tones.
So 6 months later...here i am.
@aura Did you ever take anti-psychotics?
You know, those who don't feel our suffering say it's depression, because for others, a person who suffers has to be happy with life.
Today I ran out of some new tones that I had won and I didn't do anything, but they were with me for 2 months. Even so, I'm still not as I was before.
