I've had severe tinnitus and hyperacusis since 2015 and got hearing aids in 2018. I wasn't expecting much from them but they have helped me a lot,...

I'm sorry you're suffering, @Agrajag364. Spikes are the worst, but they do go away eventually. Stress exacerbates loudness, so do whatever you can...

What gorgeous cats! :cat:

We' are over the 3 grand mark and donations are coming in every day. Fantastic! :rockingbanana:

I am so sorry to hear this. Danny was a fantastic contributor to this community. His fearlessness and positivity were admirable and he'll be...

@Ed209 I could have written the exact same post three months ago - similar MRI experience in December and it really knocked me back. Like you, I...

@Bethnal Lizzie I occasionally use Sleepphones at bedtime (at very low volume) to help me nod off and have found them very helpful, not at all...

I'm going through something similar at the moment, and yes, it's difficult not to worry. But I'm pretty sure you'll return to baseline soon....

Thank you very much for sharing this, @Benjamin Greenberg. Every piece of research brings us closer to understanding and (eventually) beating...

I found reading difficult for the first year, but it has got a lot easier as I've habituated. Low background music has helped. Strangely enough,...

Really informative. Thanks @Aaron123

This is terribly sad.

Great update, thanks Steve! Really good to see collaboration like this. Thanks for all the work you and TT are putting in.

Amazing work, thank you to all involved.

@Jake007 You're very brave to take this leap and I hope you soon see some improvement. I've found sound therapy (quiet music at low volume)...

@mysterygal I've just had a bone graft in prep for implant to replace recently extracted lower molar. No effect whatsoever on my T.

Thanks, @brownbear !

@brownbear I'd say you're definitely on your way to habituating. There will always be setbacks but they'll matter less as time goes on. I'm two...

Habituating and hoping

That is a great idea, @Elinor ! Might work for humans, too :)

Hi @Fangen , I had a spike after a flight in October ... It was pretty bad for 6 weeks but it's a lot better now. I had a cold at the time, which...

Done! This is a very good initiative - thanks for setting it up.

Probably 4 or 5 for me. I try not to be conscious of them. One of them still frightens me :cautious:

@dfw Yeah, spikes are a crappy and depressing fact of life for T sufferers (currently going through one myself) but they always subside...

[ATTACH]

So sorry you're going through this, @Damong - it's rotten, especially in the beginning. It's hard to believe but time and habituation really do...

I love all the pet photos. Here is my cat, Billy Edwards, having a snooze in the sun. [ATTACH]

Great that you're back at work, Glynis! I hope things keep improving for you and the ENT appointment goes well.

Amplified buskers are the scourge of Dublin's city centre at the moment. There are entire streets I will go out of my way to ignore because of the...

@glynis We're all thinking of you and sending healing vibes your way. You are a legend. Hang in there! :huganimation:

@Markku Good lord, what a lot of crap you're handling at the moment. I hope the prognosis turns out to be better than you think. Coping with...

I dunno, but I still have my trusty Nokia 3510i - which still works even after being run over by a car!

@hartje5 I know how you feel, and probably everyone here feels like this some of the time. Please hang in there and don't be hard on yourself....

I am going to Naples in October. I am going to eat ALL the pizzas.

I have T since the end of 2014, due to head injury from a traffic accident. Two months is very early days, hang in there and it will get better.

Hi Dilshaad, different things will work for different people. I've used relaxing music (with sleep phones, low volume) and breathing exercises and...

A cat wandered in to my house and is still here a year later. Having a cat ROCKS. :cat:

@BobDigi Yep, that sounds familiar ... Just my luck to live in a city with big roadworks projects in progress :eek: If you look around when...

This is a very interesting thread and it shows how bloody resilient we all have to be every day. You are all amazing. :beeranimation: Now that...

I do wish there was more recognition of the distinction between tinnitus and the ability to cope with tinnitus. I would certainly have expected a...

It doesn't bode well for UK involvement in EU-funded scientific research - something directly relevant to all of us here. :(

@Pietro Baraldi Sorry to hear that. Relapses are horrible - I think almost everyone on here knows what it's like. It feels so unfair that having...

@Zora Your dad is an inspiration. Thanks for posting this!

"Studies confirm tinnitus sufferers should just shut their yaps and get used to it, like we've been telling them for years." What about this...

Hi Jeremia, welcome to the forum. There's a lot of really good information here and a lot of support. I hope your health issues improve and you...

I've just tried this for the first time. No-one told me it sounded like Kraftwerk! Even if it doesn't work it's nice to listen to (if you like...

Agreed, cosmology and Stoicism go really well together! (y)

A collaboration made in noise heaven :woot: Well done and I look forward to listening!

@Alue I'm sorry, that must be terrible for you. Apologies if people keep saying this and maybe you're already on it, but are you seeking legal...

@Daveyrvancleef That is interesting - you seem to be the first person on this forum whose application wasn't rejected sight unseen. Do keep us...

@Telis I identify strongly with what you say, and it's reassuring to read that the experience is so common here. When something triggers a very...

My cat is snoring right next to me now. I'm thinking about how much she's helped me since she barged into my life a year ago, when I was in early...

That's a very optimistic take on AI, @The Red Viper :) I found it interesting how, at several points in history, we adopt the latest...

All you need is flour, milk, eggs. And something nice to put on them when they're done :hungry:

They promise a response in two weeks. I got one after a month. As far as I know, no-one from this forum who applied has been accepted. Not that...

As others have said: it takes time, but keep trying and you'll be able to focus on reading again. I was only able to focus on "light" reading in...

I'm also going through a spike, probably caused by noise exposure, and it's rubbish having to habituate again. But looking at this forum this...
