Can you explain this contradiction? Are you sure it wasn't going out and being exposed to sound that made your tinnitus worse?

I have been on Clomipramine for almost a decade now, and together with therapy, it has helped me a great deal in accepting my tinnitus. It mainly works because it keeps my OCD under control, so I cannot become preoccupied with tinnitus most of the time. In my case, Clomipramine is supported with...

I agree with this. CBT helped me a little, but things became sustainable when I did Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which is the latest version of CBT. It is incredibly hard to accept the noise in my ears, and sometimes I still panic, but I learned to go with the flow and accept both the...

Interesting. What I read from a Google search was that medication-induced tinnitus is usually permanent because it reduces blood flow to the inner ear and permanently kills the hair cells there. I have always had a little bit of hiss in my head, but it was only there if I wore noise-cancelling...

Has anyone had any luck with adding vitamin D3, Taurine, Lipoflavonoid, or NAC to their daily regimen? If so, how long to take effect for a positive result?

Hi All, I’ve had tinnitus for about 30 years now. Generally, I wouldn’t call myself a sufferer, because most of the time it hasn’t bothered me, although I’ve had stretches of months when I’ve noticed it more, perhaps spikes. I’m going through a rather strange situation with my tinnitus at the...
