Happy belated anniversary T. I damn near forgot about you again, that's good. 7 years now. Life doesn't stop for you, neither will I.
I tried to avoid sound. I used ear plugs, noise cancelling headphones, avoided people and places that would aggravate it, but doing that only...
If you stick with it, it will shift your attention away from the T and back to your life. In time the T won't even matter and you'll have your...
When T strikes, we all want to pretty much roll over and die....we stop doing what we did prior because it's too hard to do much of anything with...
@Sammy0225 How long have you been the buzz/zaps? I never stopped working, mostly because I had no choice, but in hindsight I think it was the best...
Has your vibrating/zinging component calmed down yet? It went away after 6 months, the hyperacusis went away another few months after that....
I nearly forgot my 6th year T anniversary, that's probably good! It's not any better, it just doesn't get any of my attention anymore.
Yes, I did, VERY strong for the first 6 months. It not only sounded like electrical buzzing, it literally had a vibratory component to it within...
5th year anniversary with T. Accept it, do not resist it, do not identify with it and it loses it's power over you. Acceptance is key.
4 years now. I've forgotten what life was like pre-T, which is a good thing...less regrets.
Just dropping in for my 3 year anniversary with T. Still no cure yet I see...no surprise there.
Glad I could help somewhat. My head buzz is going strong at the moment. The good thing about it being cyclical is that I know it'll tone down. The...
My Brain T almost nothing compared to what it used to be. I typically get it once a week for a day or two most, but I'd rate it at 4 at it's worst...
If I attempt to concentrate or listen to my breath it brings me deeper within myself which I've noticed consistently heightens my tinnitus and...
Nope. Most of the code is common sense. If someone is doing one of those things and you don't like it, simply ignore it. If it has to be enforced...
Hang in there Lane. I believe there is a healing process at work with T, our brains are trying to rewire the circuitry to fix it. The problem is...
When you say 'Electric Reactive Tinnitus', It means the vibratory 'Brain T' to me (which feels and sounds electrical by nature) and not 'Ear T'....
Happy 2nd Anniversary Allen Y. This July will be my 2nd Annv. as well. My experience has been very similar to yours, except that mine came on...
I thought I'd give a chiropractor a try recently. He set my atlas and worked on my neck and back for a month. It didn't have any effect on my T,...
After the castor oil experiment I tried a TENS unit. That did alter my T momentarily, but it always returns to baseline quickly.
I stopped taking castor oil a while back. I don’t think it was doing anything significant for my T. Can’t hurt to try though.
Are you related to me? I see you have Crater Lake as your profile pic, I’ve got a lot of family in that area!
My hyperacusis only lasted a couple months after initial onset of my T two years ago. Lately I've been doing 30 minutes of meditation every day....
Nearly 2 years with T now. The best antidote is not to give your Tinnitus meaning.
There must be some difference between benzo's and alcohol's affect on the brain. Benzo's don't do anything to my T, but getting drunk will shut it...
I put the 6-8 drops on an english muffin or a tortilla chip before I head to work in the morning. It's quick and painless. =)
6-8 drops of cold press castor oil ingested, 1x a day. Don't use more than that or you'll probably regret it. I did this for 3 weeks at the...
In the beginning I used a sound machine and melatonin for sleeping and stayed busy or stood in the shower when awake. Deciding to accept it and...
Quitting smoking has had no effect on the pitch/volume/cycle of my T. The only benefit I notice of not smoking as it relates to T is a slight...
My T is on more of a weekly cycle than a daily cycle. Sleep is the trigger that makes it worse or better, but only after it has run through it's...
I've yet to read a story where an ENT actually helps someone with these conditions. Finger's crossed that it goes better for you. I think mine was...
I had my Dr. write me an Rx for Clonazepam for days when my T is severe. It doesn't do a thing to me. I upped the dose from .5 to 1mg and still...
I'm alright, how about you? H went away a few months after initial onset. T has reduced slightly, still loud but not vibratory anymore. It can...
Something happened this weekend that reminded me of this old post, so I thought I'd follow up. I was awaking from a nap Saturday afternoon. It...
My T reacts to vibration as much or even more than noise. My guess is that yours is doing the same. I ended up selling my bike. =(
And another loss yesterday Don Williams: [MEDIA] Ahh man....NOT the 'Gentle Giant'. This is the first I've heard of it. =(
Get shit-faced drunk, typically that will knock T out for a few hours. I read a study that claims Benzos help, so I had my Dr. prescribe...
Yeah, there you go! If it will crowd out thoughts of T, that alone is worth it. Grab an idea that will hold your interest for a long while and...
I've noticed that as well, I miss and make way more errors since T than I used to!
I love to write. Nothing helps to unravel my thoughts so well as the act of writing. At first it was very difficult to write or read with T, now...
I don't take meds for my T and I have no problem sleeping 8+ non-stop hours. I only require 7, so I typically don't sleep that long.
Researching suicide, analyzing suicide, imagining suicide and romanticizing suicide feeds the T-Rex until it grows so big and overpowering that...
Hi LB88, Prior to tinnitus I was probably a bit like your husband. I never had a sickness or injury that I couldn't deal with. When others would...
My first round with T lasted 3 days then was gone. It came back 2 weeks later with a vengeance, bringing along it's friends: Hyperacusis, Ear...
I am just past the 1 yr mark. I hit a breaking point at around 7 months that was either end it or accept it. I found some good reasons to accept...
I started the fish oil after my buzzing T. Oddly enough, it did start while I was camping.....eating fish I had caught and cooked over the...
Yes, ear muffs or earplugs make no difference with mine. I've even tried the BOSE noise cancelling headphones to no affect. More than 20 minutes...
Mine lessened after 2 months from a 9-10 to a 7-8 where it has stayed. I selected 2 months, but I wouldn't say that it's 'significantly more...
I have electrical head buzzing (brain T) for a year now. These weren't options in the vote so I'll put them here. I think the cause of mine was...
This Sunday is my 1 year anniversary with T. I wish divorce was an option. T has not improved, only my ability to deal with it has. Cheers.
I also have mild polycythemia (relative, not Rubra Vera) and severe tinnitus...but not the wooshing kind. My is the 24/7 tea kettle/Jet taking off...
This must have just been coincidence, because my T has been back to it's normal tortuous level the last couple days. Bummer. I'll finish the...
I take one in the morning and one at night. 2 pills taken together shuts me down too much.
Almost a week of taking these (750 mg) 2x a day. It's not a magic pill, where you pop one and the T is instantly gone or reduced. It's effects...
There's a good chance that yours could go away soon. If you haven't already, go see an ENT asap. If it turns out to be chronic, it gets easier to...
A local health food store carries this GABA Calm, so I started taking them last Friday. I took my first one Friday evening and noticed no...
Spent a long weekend in a rustic cabin. T went ballistic. Returned to work and routine, T back down to the normal tortuous level. Sad. =(
I don't feel that I had pre-existing depression either, although I did have a stressful day when T started...so more likely to do with cortisol. I...
I think alot of these 'professionals' believe tinnitus is just a very minor sound in the ear that any normal, healthy person should be able to...
Hi Chloe, you haven't had T long so there is a good chance it will go away. Also, since you're still young, increased brain plasticity should be...
