Aschenherz

Please please hang in there man. You're stronger than this, you can do it.

XEN1101 and Shore are coming soon & many here believe they’ll be game changing treatments for T and even H for Xen

Hang on. This was very difficult for me two years ago. I cried every day. I was sad and depressed. I decided to focus my life on getting my doctorate and becoming a professor. It helped me to take my mind off of the T and H. There are some days now, it's just a smooth buzz. Right now, it's ringing, but it doesn't affect me like it did 2 years ago. Praying for you to find strength and peace.

I'm sure your T will become a minor nuisance after a while. It took me three months in 2016 to find peace with it. After a worsening in 2020, it went to a 10/10 but thankfully the hum went back to its previous level after 1 year or so. I'm quite positive that time could also be a healer in your case.

did you took any anti-depressents? I have the feeling, it made it worse for me. I have this hum for 2 months and it is driving me insane. thank you for all the messages.

Hi there @Aschenherz , I hope you're still here with us. Please don't do anything hasty! Tinnitus can change for the better after some time. So please hold on

But in regards to your question: yes, I do use an antidepressant, which is mirtazapine. I only use it in the evening before I go to sleep.

Hang in there buddy ❤️

i am taking it, but the tones getting louder and louder, the low hum is the worst. I saw several posts here, that you can't habiutate to the car idle..

Don’t give up!

takes a while to set in, noticed my anxiety gradually lower after about a month or so.

no, Zoloft..

I hope it helps you.

Good luck.

Hopefully you get the good-trip and not the bad-one. ☝☝X'd

I know lexapro has a lesser side effect profile compared to other SSRIs.

Hi @Aschenherz. @SmallRonnie takes supplements to help with his mood. Maybe read his posts, get some idea of where to start.

How are you!?

The hum was really messing with me yesterday ugh

it is like a Rave in your head.

Yes! I kept asking my family can you hear that noise ~.~

@Aschenherz Hello, was wondering if you got any help, relief in the "Psych ward"? Were your Drs. familiar to T/H and had suggestions for medications?

omg, i really thought, psych ward is the right word for it. i am so sorry..

well, no. of course not. "we must see, why you develope tinnitus. It is a stress reaction" blah.

@Aschenherz I'm sorry you dealt with that. Seems the same old, same old. :( I was hoping there was something new, with at least medication. (Bit confused, it was not Psych ward)?

Is your T keeping you awake or the anxiety and stress over it? If it's the later it can be treated, I know it seems hopeless but once I tackled my anxiety, my sleep improved a lot. I did it with hypnotherapy.

Wonder if it’ll help with the reactiveness

Is it out yet? It was going to be released in December?

2024

Good for you for making the best decision to help yourself. I hope you feel better soon

i can only hope and pray. thank you for reaching out.

Before bed I hear very faint sounds, and sometimes a spike, sudden inflammation or scary new symptom will occur like my head and ear vibrating ten days ago, but it disappeared as well.

I can sometimes hear the low hum in the evening, but it doesn't vibrate and is hardly audible.

I was on the verge of suicide nearly two years ago, but it got so much better though I would never have believed it. Please hang in there, success stories are possible, you will get better. You're not alone and this suffering will ease with time..

i definitely have sounds where i hear it lesser 180 hz for example. But not that it is "gone"

Ok so the HZ sounds do somewhat cover the tone in your head right, like it keeps you distracted right, well then lower the volume as low as you can where its just under the tinnitus tone in your head. you want to blend it can distract you. not too loud just right

open up another tab with tone generator and try to match your other tone and keep the volume just under the tone in your head, maybe u play with it so it blends in. no headphones either. if this somewhat help hearing aids is your best bet

tell me about it. WE ARE THE STRONGEST people out there. im telling U if we ever get a cure, LIFE will be EASY. granted their are other illnesses/ lifestyles that are torturous too, but for all other things it will be a BREEZE

if we are ever cured I will forever be grateful and humbled. im talking after me being cured someone could smack me in the face or steal my wallet for no reason and id handle those situations with kindness. some may say its weak but tinnitus has broke me and taught me humility like no other. just as long im cured im good for life

You're right @KoolKat. I know there are other issues, problems in life but the thought of a cure for this, it would be so amazing.

thank you, it is insane, how bad it can get.

i wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy jesus christ We love you brother stay strong man. Fck. so not looking 4ward to living like this for the rest of my life, i mean for christ sakes. But hang on and seriously look into hearing aids.
