We are all very sad, but we must go on. Enjoy the snippets of happiness and low T.

Try for another year.... Passing time helps to assimilate this horrible condition.

Well tinnitus is still there, I *think* it has gone down in volume, or my perception of it has. It doesn't bother me as much anymore. I sleep good. I avoid headphones, concerts, and movie theatres. But other than that life is normal. All medical professionals I have seen haven't found anything. Hearing according to ENT is perfect.

I still look forward to my life, things can change.

I hear ya, 7 months for me with no improvement. Hard not to be bitter sometimes. I'm at one of those points myself. But we'll swing back.

@Jake007 I hope you're right. Some days are good, some days are very difficult.

In the same boat Ronnie; hard to get used to something that is always "new". Hang in there, we'll win this fight eventually.

@Paul10 I appreciate that, and I'm sorry you're going through the same thing. I swear T has a mind of its own.

u just have to. If... IF God is really above us he give T only the strongest among men.

Hang in there, I don't either. But we will find a way.

To be us again, I'm right there with you.

Try hot baths with Epsom salts and lavender... Feel better soon. I'll pray for a good night sleep.

Hope you're feeling better Ronnie.

Same here man

You deserve to be in the best mood! enjoy the good times :D

Good for you! Enjoy and keep it up! I firmly believe that regardless of external (and I guess internal) forces, we have a certain amount of ability to override things and control our own mood and happiness! What it is for you - may it continue!

Thank you @JMobile @Mario martz Whatever it is... it must be that great healer, time. I know the journey is far from over but for the first time in a long while I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel methinks. Stay strong everyone, T is a real you-know-what!

@Rubenslash Eck it just irritates the f*** out of me

I don't want to lay down to sleep because of it tonight; hang in there!

God damn you all to hell tinnitus!!

Love those movies

I'm on a bit of a binge lately, with my social life out of order... I watched both Men of War with Dolph and Out For Justice with Stevie boy last night, still great fun @Jake007

I appreciate your optimism. It's been 3 months for me, zero change. But who knows I suppose? @ryan1234

still anything is possible. do you sleep with a fan/sound machine. I find this helpful

@ryan1234 I do sleep with a fan. Doesn't really mask the tinnitus fully, it does help though.

I think somatic T is when you can alter it by jaw, eye, and neck movements. Not sure if finger tapping technique applies.

He thinks it's related to my head injury, or maybe a misaligned jaw.

Could be the trigger but usually there's also some hearing loss. In fact, nearly every adult has some hearing loss. However, ENTs and audiologists only consider the most important frequencies and as Foncky states, they don't consider all types of hearing loss.

I'll bring that up at my next appointment

Smashing Pumpkins =b

It's part of the deal. I'm doing better now.

Never cried, was really close in the early days. It was so frustrating it almost brought me to tears.

Stay strong! Man or not, sometimes things just get the best of you.

Hope you habituate soon!

Thank you my friend @LukeYoung

Chris Martin also has it

T is required to be a proper rock star

The one where he said "anyone who doesn't have ringing in the ears can f*** right off"

Ok, I feel better. I must be a rock star but no one told me :(

Surrender to the noise. Losing is the only way to win. T is the ultimate mind game.
