this is also a good way to think about hearing loss induced T, that your hearing loss in a particular range is like a sound-isolation chamber in your head. The mind overreacts when stimulus is removed, to the point of creating hallucinations and phantom sounds. What I think would be...

thanks. I wish that for everyone here. Everyone should take your advice about driving the bus. except for some anxiety after a plane ride induced T spike in Dec, I do a pretty good job ignoring mine and not letting it control me. your T sounds particularly annoying.

I see you've had it for a long time too. what techniques have you found successful?

yes that is something to be concerned about, esp if you have to pay for said solution. I personally tried listening to the sounds for free on youtube then here and was impressed enough to keep on trying them. I don't have any more studies, that pdf is from the long thread up in the alternative...

here's a pdf explaining it: http://iospress.metapress.com/content/r771875822464323/fulltext.pdf i hope i don't butcher a summary but here it goes: the idea is that T is a misfiring of neural connections that occur because of a loss of stimulus in the ranges of hearing loss. The other areas...

good post lady Di, although I personally try to go the natural route whenever possible. *warning, everyone is different, please know 'you' before trying any natural remedies because of cross interactions, possible allergic reactions etc* I've had really good results with goldenseal as an...

try rooibos if you are looking for a tea replacement.

Have the people using maskers explored the notched and neuromodulation experiments? I would recommend it. I'm a long time T sufferer, and have used a fan at night to help with sleeping for years. Now I'm trying neuromodulation sounds that I downloaded from this forum, to see if I can do more...

I fly maybe once a year, and haven't really had any problems, except for a plane trip in Dec. I was dealing with sinus congestion and some ear fullness before the trip, and the plane rides cause my T to spike the worst it has since I first got T. Strangely, it didn't feel like I was having...

hi thanks for asking stina I think it was a combo of an ear infection and exposure to loud noises. testing revealed I do have some high frequency hearing loss and I think my T is my brain's response to those missing frequencies. I am now much smarter with my protecting my hearing

next time you get a spike you can't account for check the weather and see if any fronts are approaching or the barometric pressure is changing. I made a thread about it but sometimes these changes will cause spikes. for example: I had a bad T spike after a plane trip in dec. It was gradually...

Yes while it is good to get support and info here and online, my experience is that when thinking about it you end up focusing on the T. It becomes self-fulfilling in a way, re-enforcing your attention to it. I've had it since 1995. learning to deal with it at the beginning was the worst, and...

another cold front coming in tomorrow and like clockwork T is louder today... well if our modern weather system breaks down, maybe this will be considered a gift :)

hang in there everyone. It's easy to remember the bad days, and it's easy to take for granted the good ones. I'm seeing a common theme about an anxiety of phone's dying for masking sounds. please consider an mp3 player without that flashy touchscreen. I have a Panasonic mp3 player that takes...

thank you everyone for your responses, I'm glad people are confirming my assumptions about the effects of pressure changes caused by changing weather. We have another cold spell coming up here and I'll check and see what my T does. susan, i've not had vertigo. The sea sick feeling I...

You are not alone. when the sound is right there in your head with you, I'm not sure if that helps at all though :banghead: We may not be able to stop the T but we can manage our stress levels in response to it. I know how frustrating it can be when the T is really bad, but please find...

Hi, first post here. Looks like quite a nice community. I found this place after some google searching. Has anyone noticed a spike in their tinnitus before or during barometric pressure changes? I'll explain why I ask: I'm in Wisconsin, where like a lot of the country we are experiencing...
