Clinical trials are set to start in October in the UK. Keep checking their website for updates....

Well @Amelia hopefully Gary's post above will really encourage you. x

Hi @Amelia, so sorry to hear you are so unwell at the moment and I wish you a speedy recovery. I have not been on here in a long while, but I...

My son is 21, does dj-ing sometimes (stupidly loud), wears his iPod earphones on his scooter to work and has now just put an expensive sound...

Yes @Steve that's definitely it's main attraction.

Yesterday, I visited The New Forest National Park newforestnpa.gov.uk in Hampshire, England. I realise a lot of TT members live outside the UK so...

@Amelia and @demi I totally get you about the negative comments outweighing the positive sometimes. When I first joined TT I found it incredibly...

Hi @Saif it does not affect my hearing at all, funnily enough.

My ENT specialist referred me to the Tinnitus Team for Sound Enrichment Therapy. This consists of being fitted with masking devices and also...

Hi. I was put on Alimemazine 10mg which is an old style antihistamine. It's non-addictive and often given to kids with sleeping and/or behavioural...

Hi @Matty I will be thinking of you and praying. All the best.

I am due to be fitted with maskers soon. Glad to hear positive news about them.

Thanks Thomas - an amazing journey! Can I just ask though, how do you manage to accept the loud tinnitus at night? I am taking sleeping tablets at...

Hi @Amelia, feeling exactly the same as you today and this is just what I needed to read too.

Hi there. I was getting no sleep due to my T, which made me feel worse obviously, but then even when my T was hardly noticeable I still could not...

I must say @Penelope33 I don't think I would ever have had the courage to put up such an honest post. I suppose it could be related although you...

Many thanks for taking the time to share - I am am sure there are other successes who don't bother to come back and share.

Hi Lynnette, I've just started Prozac 10mg and already feel a bit more positive - could be a placebo at this stage but I don't care as long as I...

That is the same for me Demi - I noticed that if I put something in my bad ear it seems to lessen yet not good if I have it on the pillow.

I am so relieved to have stumbled on this thread today as last night was a terrible night for me. My T lessened quite a lot yesterday after 3-4...

I totally agree with all of the above - the first few days and weeks are the worst. It is definitely your attitude towards it that makes it worse....

Oh poor you! I know what you mean about it varying so much. I wish it could just gradually get better over a period of time rather than seemingly...

Welcome aboard! I would definitely agree that you need to stay positive which is very hard sometimes especially if sleep deprivation has been a...

4 days ago, I booked an appointment with my GP as my T was making me very depressed. She said she can definitely see bubbles behind my left...

Hi there, while you find this stuff interesting, I tend to try not to dwell on it as I have a bit of a propensity towards obsessional thinking. I...

Hi VT and welcome. You will definitely find this forum of great support and a good source of helpful information. Stay well.

Mine is so loud today and am struggling but I know that I would feel better if I could change my attitude towards it and not let it get me so...

Hi AnneG, very very happy for you, and glad you posted. If it does stay away, please come back here sometimes to keep us informed as it will...

Thanks for this - it's worth a try.

You are right to warn people. I have noticed that my left ear seems to budge a bit more when I use the balloon but have also noticed an increase...

I sure do empathise with you Mick. I get panicky about mine sometimes and I do like my red wine as it seems to relax me. I probably should cut...

My initial Tinnitus came on slowly and gradually 8 months ago, and I was not aware of having been exposed to loud noises. I then went for a good 4...

Wow! Some interesting stuff here. I do eat rice once or twice a week and my tinnitus is mainly in my left ear. I had mainly stopped eating bread a...

Mine started about 6 months ago and although really terrifying at first, and taking over my life, I seemed to habituate within about 6 weeks,...

Mine is aggravated by running water, the shower, toilet flushing, kettle boiling, TV audience applause and I should imagine, like Seal, a hot pan...

Hi. I found it lessened when I gave up caffeine. So I now drink decaff tea and coffee, and I certainly notice it gets much louder the minute I...

Hi. You and quite a few other people state that running water lessens the T's effects. Oddly enough mine is the exact opposite. Other sounds such...

Hi Beth, so sorry that you are struggling. Mine only started back in March 2013 and I had overwhelming anxiety with it and wondered if I would...

This is so interesting because literally a week before my tinnitus started, I had the most chronic, debilitating indigestion I've ever had. It...

Hi Aliglitter. Your tinnitus exactly mirrors mine! I went to the GP and she said I do have a build up of fluid behind my left ear drum - this ear...

Hi all. I had a funny sensation going on in my left ear about a year and a half ago (the only way I can describe it is like Rolf Harris's wobble...

I have been on Zoloft for over 3 years but only just started getting Tinnitus a few weeks ago. My doctor seems to think that the side effect could...

1.) What ear(s) is your T in? Mostly left. 2.) Would you describe the sound as coming from the ear or do you find it is coming from inside your...

1) How long have you had tinnitus? 3 weeks 2) Has it always fluctuated? 1st couple of weeks it was virtually gone every 2 to 3 days, then back...

I am really confused by this! I have been on Sertraline for about 3 years. My GP has suggested I come off them as a known side effect is Tinnitus....

Sorry Molan, I guess I just re-posted it as it really helped to give me some hope and I genuinely thought it might help others. Obviously, I am...

Hi Karen, I've cut out caffeine altogether for 2 weeks now but it does not seem to have had much of an effect. I also drink red wine in the...

Hi, thanks for the welcome. I am not aware of having any previous thyroid problems but when I saw my GP that was the first thing that came to her....
