Separate names with a comma.
I think it might be a loss of perspective to wonder why God allows specific terrible things to happen. After all, every single one of us will be...
You're right, I would. And that made me cautious about saying this stuff for a while. It really is the strangest feeling when your thinking lines...
Well, of course I have to say that this forum mostly functions as a group of people pulling themselves deeper and deeper into despair and losing...
It doesn't need to be "fear". "Aversion" is a good word for it. And as I said, I believe studies back me up. Or at least Dr Nagler does....
Tinnitus led me to start believing in God. Or rather, after seeking out and being convinced by arguments for God's existence and properties, I...
I can't understand that. If that is true, then my theory is just wrong. In fact I believe that studies support my idea that there is no...
There is only one type of reason. It's possible to come up with something that looks like reason to support a false statement, but in the end,...
I'm really iffy about ideas related to the loudness of such an unmeasurable sound. I can hear it over the top of an action movie in the cinema....
I think this contains two false ideas about how to solve tinnitus aversion. In fact I think these are the two ideas that get people stuck. They...
I never worry about who I might be giving ammunition to. It always struck me as pointless to worry about, you can never track your intellectual...
Actually it's because it would make me think about tinnitus more, and I still have a mild phobia of my tinnitus sometimes. In other words, I...
Are you saying that tinnitus objectively makes it harder to concentrate and think? Because if that were true, then it would indeed destroy my...
But even if we look at it that way, doesn't it seem very odd? Why would you define an aberrant noise in your head as "bad"? Are you saying that...
I'm sorry, but it is. I'm not saying it will be easy, or even possible, for a particular person to stop being averse to their tinnitus. But it is...
I would imagine that the main reason this works is framing, and the selection of sounds that are culturally noxious to the victim. On both counts,...
It's been a while since I had a moment of habituation, and I've been different ever since that moment. I've become very interested in tinnitus in...
Okay, here is another way to try to explain it. Imagine you have an old-fashioned set of bathroom scales. Over time, if people treat them badly,...
I've spoken to many people about my tinnitus, some professionals, some not. They all told me obvious true things about my tinnitus, but it was...
I am having a very strange experience today. I usually take until the early afternoon to get rid of my negative tinnitus thoughts. Today, I got...
It makes sense to me, and gives me a new theory about my own tinnitus obsession. "Unfortunately", your experiment on yourself will fail to prove...
This maxim gives me some relief from blaming myself (when I remember to do it): "Be a determinist about the past, but a libertarian about the...
Thought experiment: if you believed this, would you be happy that you had tinnitus? Further thought experiment: is it possible to choose to...
Here is a thought experiment that I have often considered: Imagine that one day, everything you see is slightly shaded red. You go to the doctor,...
My theory is that all of that is backwards. Everything for me is the exact opposite of the standard way of describing tinnitus. In fact, since...
I don't believe that is true in my case. That theory makes perfect sense, and it seems that very intelligent people believe it and use it as the...
Now, I'm sure that this theory isn't original, and I'm also sure that every smartass who gets tinnitus comes up with some Grand Theory of Tinnitus...
Thank you for the information, but it's not when I'm asleep. It's just that sometimes I "switch" to thinking about it, which overwhelms me and so...
My girlfriend has been helping me with my tinnitus, but until yesterday she didn't even know that's what she was doing. Lying in a quiet room, I...
I'd cry a lot. I'd probably be manic for a few months. But in the end, I'd still have the anxiety that causes me to focus on my tinnitus....
I wouldn't call it "negativity". I know the value of optimism, but there's a catch. The catch is that you can be "positive" about two...
I need to know whether my IQ is in freefall, because it will determine my career path. Thinking positive seems silly to me. Better to think "how...
I am on the same wavelength as you. I have always defined myself as a smart person who is supposed to achieve something. I am currently working on...
Yes! I have exactly this problem, but the person I resent is myself. Ironically the thing I resent most is that I might have given myself...
I just realised that I was making a mistake in dealing with my T. I have come to the conclusion that my only problem is my BELIEFS. Obsessing over...
Wow, it really is interesting how different people are from each other. I thrive on overcoming obstacles that aren't my fault, but when I...
Hello all! I am a doctoral student and I have had tinnitus in my right ear for a few years now. It horrifies me sometimes, and often makes me...
