@acute Ive tried to pm you but didnt work. Can you pm me?
There is tinnitus and there is TINNITUS!!! Even mild tinnitus sufferers won't understand the difference. So a non tinnitus sufferer will never...
I totally agree on that... it can be worse than cancer.
Signed, thank you for sharing
Good question, but I do not know if it can be measured by any scan. For me too is the volume that is unbearable + this combined with multiple...
I disagree with subjective loudness. It should be objective ! Loudness
Yes. I 've asked Sen what he meant with ' hypothecial' but I didn't get a reply. There is always an underlying reason
Yes, Definately internal
Sen meant it hypothetical
Do you see a very severe desease part of the internal or external life?
Does your T cause you chronic pain?
Agree on this. I am always thinking: we need 'de' stimulation on the brain instead of stimulation. Don't know the right medical word for 'de'...
@Michael Leigh I am not going to do any of these treatments. I was commenting on the thread. He is asking how counseling could help. And I am not...
@Michael Leigh But I am still not convinced that CBT will help reducing the volume
@Michael Leigh I agree with you. A lot of people are referred to a psychologist or psychiatric because they think T is treatable like anxiety or...
@vermillion You already knew the answer before posting it... No new info, no drug :(
I made me feel worse too. Did your counselor know anything about t?
He could give it a try. He doesn't respond yet though to our comments
You can give it a try, but it has more a placebo effect. Some people have positive experience with, other not. It depends, as not every t and body...
What about the other treatments like brain stimulation or other alternatives; do audiologist set up the standards?
@Paul10 Have you done cbt?
I've done therapy in the past (not for t) and know exactly how it works. It has helped me a bit with some things. But here we are talking about...
Seek for advice, go to your dr. The sooner the better. He will probably refer you too an ENT. Goodluck and it's normal to be worried because it's...
The thread is about how to lower the noise. Not about less anxiety. Like I said I've done counseling. Maybe @meeb can give it a try, but if you...
What do you mean?
@vermillion It's indeed too scientific to understand sometimes. And that's just the complexity of T. The main question is: in which way can we...
A ' cure' hasn't been found yet, or never will be found because it's a too complex condition where the brain is involved. For example, Alzheimer...
@JurgenG I don't think you made mistake. But you should really consider if your job is damaging your hears more and more. Do you have H? I...
@ i have t and h for over two years. So I've tried a couple of things. Also cbt, well I know more about psychology then most of those psychlogists...
How do we stop the reverberation?
I partly understand the comparison. There are similarities and also hypotheses in the neural plasticity but also differences that need more deep...
@Frédéric There are similarities between T and chronic pain, also hypothesis. I don't see T the same as pain. Do you experince it as the same?...
On the first point of view I didn't understand, now I do. I can't believe someone with 1 hiss low sound @ 15 db can experience the same distress...
CBT might help for some people. But It won't lower the volume. I am not convinced about any treatment yet, for my stage of t and h. Have you...
@Blue28 Maybe worth a watch for you
@Frédéric I disagree with you. Intrusive T can get to the poiny where it is unbearable. Do you really think every T is the same? And do you...
Yes, it is your life. Again, I am not judging, I am looking into it from general perspective. And if there are no loved ones, then nobody will...
In some countries euthanasia is legal. I also would like that there was help for people suffering. Because people kill themselves in horrible...
I think it's just the point. I can and will not judge about what another person wants to choose. What I know is that killing yourself ain't that...
Nobody knew / knows how our lives will be. For me personally, I wish the T and H didn't exist, for nobody. Whatever you decide to do I hope you...
Ok, now I understand. So you feel unwanted? Unfortunately we couldn't choose, you are right about that. Life can be very unfair for some people...
@Sen No one is obliged to stay. That's a personal choice in my opinion. What do you mean with " against their will"?
@Michael Leigh Thank you for your reply. Talking to people about your intrusive T can be very dissapointed sometimes. Also we can't blame them...
@Bobbie7 I don't think anybody is pro suicide at the forum. But some people might to get understand that a sufferer can get to that desperate...
@Lex What do you exactly mean with vibration sensivity and where do you feel it? I ask this because I have very severe H, without pain but also...
This forum is meant to be to support each other. Also when people have dark moments. It's a fact that very severe intrusive T/H can lead to...
Only 1 person, my uncle. He has mild T, two tones. So I don't have nobody in real life that truly understands me. Besides that I have very severe...
@Frédéric Well, your T might be different in volume, amount of tones, type of tones, the t in the head or ears or both :( You can live it with,...
So all sound therapies (TRT) are a waste of money and time? This is what already was my experience..
@Zenyatta Give it a try and goodluck!
Alright, I understand. Maybe talk with your GP about another AD.
I am a little confused here. Are you on AD already or not yet?
@Zenyatta Progressive T can be so devastating. I suffer from very severe t and h. For sleep I take Zopiclon.... But sometimes I can't sleep...
Could it be that tinnitus starts in the brain? For example tinnitus caused by head injury, stress?
Yes, I know that you had succes. And that others might try TRT. It was my sister's idea to go for it. She knows the audiologist. Actually on...
I thought H was also limbic system related. What is your theory? Why do we have H?
@Michael Leigh I can say how professional somebody is after one session, yes I can. This person is an specialist. I couldn't resist the sound,...
@japongus How do you see Hyperacusis? I've tried last year TRT. I had one counseling therapy. Tried to use the WNG's but they caused inmediately...
