Did you try suing in the invidividual? They should be liable for any damage done to you. That's why, as far as I'm aware, personal liability...

Not related to Zoloft, but I tried Benzos for a little while which gave me rebound anxiety and depression (I had neither when starting Benzos) and...

That's not how tinnitus works at all. The quietest T can still be extremely intrusive and ruin your life. Also, before I habituated, that quiet...

Stop that and it'll be even better ;)

No, but after tinnitus - yes.

Benzos can make you less anxious about your tinnitus and therefore perceive it as quieter. The problem is that you may rely on this too much and...

I've tried Ketamine, ok not for this purpose, but anyway it had no effect on it long term. While on Ketamine, and in the hours after it, tinnitus...

I think I just managed to do all the right things. I worked out quite early on what was good, and sometimes that meant putting myself in...

As well as I've ever been able to. I've always been a bad sleeper, I have to go very late, and even then there's basically no chance of me...

Sleeping was the WORST. I put my fan on which isn't a normal desk fan, it's quite big and LOUD. I slept right near it, but whichever ear was in...

@jdjd09 I haven't been following your story as much as others. Of course I hope, and it's the ideal situation, is that you manage to get through...

Yes, for sure. It's not because I thought I needed support, actually I'd feel bad putting that burden on someone else. but being single you can...

@Marie79 - I went through the worst times of T. The full cycle of depression, suicidal thoughts (and having to hide my kitchen knives "just in...

The first rule of T is to never try to listen to it. If you want it to be louder and more noticeable, listening to and analysing it is the way to...

I used to sleep with a fan for most of my life, after a while you get used to it and it makes it very difficult to sleep without one. I only...

The problem with them is that they make you more comfortable in loud environments and less aware of the noise levels around you. You can be in a...

I couldn't have done without this forum in the first month. I was in a panic, I couldn't talk to anyone about it, so I posted here. Even just...

I'm habituated. For me it kind of means both things. It's there, but most of the time it's like it's not there because it doesn't bother me,...

You can't *really* mask T with high noise levels, T will always rise above it, especially if you're at a stage where you're not dealing with it...

We all know that listening for your T makes it worse. Could it simply be that every time you try something that may be a wonder cure, you are...

Maybe not exactly what you asked for, but I got Tinnitus in early December 2015. It's still there, it's a lot quieter than it was at the start...

Listening at safe volume levels should be fine, but no one knows 100%. At least in the first few months it's recommended to let your ears rest....

The problem with tinnitus is, while you have it, it's completely the worst thing in the world ever. It's life threatening, suicidal thoughts are...

Well let's inflict genocide, rape, aids and anything else on the rich then. We can just solve everyone's problems by making it theirs too, right?...

Not at all, but the very idea of it is sick.

I habituated very quickly. It seemed quite obvious to me, that you can't get used to tinnitus if you never hear it. Only mask it or drown it out...

I do hope this was posted completely as a joke.

I have an extreme abount of insomnia lately. It's good to know that I'd fall asleep before dying from sleep deprevation though.

When my T was actually a problem for me, sex made T louder (as any exercise does for me) but made me care less about it. While I had T-depression...

You may think that you want to end your life, but the fact that you've posted about it and also given it the condition of a deadline are big signs...

@Mel295 when exactly did you get tinnitus?

Hey I'm sorry to hear you're struggling to cope. A lot of people have spkes when they have coughs and colds, it may calm down when you're back to...

Can't sleep, can hear ringing but that's not bothering me :)

I've had a cold and flu separately, neither of which had an effect on my tinnitus, which is noise induced.

I use these, they aren't noise cancelling but they block outside noise (29dB)...

Xanax is extremely addictive, and anything that provides such a short term benefit is likely to be psychologically addictive and overused on top...

@Ringdingitsme it sounds like you have it at about the same level I did. So if that's anything to go by you're going to be coping well with it :)...

Hi @Gooner55 If it's not very loud, that's a good sign for the future. I don't know if you can get rid of it but as @billie48 said you need to...

Hi Amber, I noticed a lot more cracking and clicking in my ears when I first got tinnitus, but to this day I can't work out if that's a normal...

Hi @Gavs Reading your first post, it's really the depression. Depression makes you see nothing positive in life and you only see all these...

I think sitting in only silence can cause your hearing to be more sensitive. That would negatively affect your tinnitus. You don't need to be...

I don't care about my tinnitus at all any more. I'm not scared of it, I don't think about the future with it, it doesn't hold me back one little...

Hi @Zora, I don't know if your T can go away completely. It may do but I feel like it likely won't. It could continue to get quieter, but at...

Hi @Shyegra I've had tinnitus for 2-3 months now. I went through the full cycle of depression and worse, especially in the first month. My...

Hi Valentina, It sounds like your experience is exactly the same as mine. We both have noise induced tinnitus from headphones, it's also a static...

Tinnitus can debilitate anyone, including those that "can take whatever comes their way!". For those people, they are not used to feeling so...

Hi Marie, I hope that treating the infection will be enough. If it's not, try not to worry too much. In the early stages of tinnitus it is...

Hi Kevin, When last year did your tinnitus start? For your sleep problems, have you tried masking it with white noise? You can download app on...

Hi Fung, You can download a sound masking / white noise app and try out different sounds until you find something that masks your tinnitus...

Welcome :) This is comforting, I haven't flown since my onset and I do worry about it. I also had a cold 2 weeks ago and a flu last week, and...

Hi Zora, My tinnitus was also noise induced and not from one incident. I upgraded my sound system and listened to music really loud with my...

It's exactly like this for me. Whichever ear is on the pillow has amplified tinnitus. I am not really bothered by my tinnitus at the moment, but...

How to appreciate what I have. Before tinnitus, I didn't appreciate silence. Now I think about all those other things in life we take for...

Hi Brandon, It's normal for it to become louder/more noticeable when you actively try to listen to it. Just don't do that and it won't kill you :)

Mine was cumulative, I suspect over about 6 months. I only started to notice it a few weeks after I started meditating (spending a lot of time in...

Hi @boldaslove24 , Welcome! In your first month or so it's normal to feel as you do. It's also normal to keep listening for it, but as you've...
