In my case it is clearly stress related. Only way to get out of the cycle is to allow it, like I explained in my main post. I had migraines,...
I had my hearing tested and didn't have any hearing loss. In the group of people I did the TRT based therapy with, there were people with hearing...
@dipp I've been through something similar. I also read many stories of people who had to habituate for a second time. For your brain this is new,...
@Jarin Maurer Thank you too, be sure to let people here know when you are through this difficult period again! Any insights can help others too I...
Hey! You are right, these are the setbacks that are part of the process. They are truly the hardest things I ever experienced in my life, there...
Yes. The hearing loss is another story, I think it can heal to an extent, and there are new treatments to even repair the tiny hair cells, but not...
@Calimike I've read and experienced two types of habituation, one comes after the other. At first you don't care about it anymore, then you...
Sounds like you are on the right road!
@Calimike It makes sense, your brain still sees the internal noise as a threat. When there is a threat the brain will increase focus on it (a...
@Calimike It might just be temporary, it's only a very short time since you had it. And if it's not, there is habituation, which is just as good....
I think stress is always connected to it, because if it wasn't, you wouldn't be hearing the tinnitus or wouldn't mind hearing it. The brain...
Listen to your body. If your focus get's pulled to the tinnitus, then trust that this is what your body needs and listen to it and allow...
Our brains somehow categorized tinnitus as a threat, which is VERY scary in the beginning. During this stage people try to find help, in their...
Working out does nothing now. Really I can only hear it, far away, softly in the background, when I'm in a completely silent room and actively...
@Timothy 87 Yes that was the case for me too, in the beginning I was actually scared to workout because of this. I think it has to do with the...
Who knows how far you can get working on recovery, maybe further then you think possible now.
@Roy114 Two different audiologists from the TRT based therapy I was in, plus TRT talk from audiologists online said that the volume or type of the...
@Steve2212 What you experienced during vacation is a taste of things to come. This experience has been teaching the brain that tinnitus isn't the...
I can't speak for everyone of course, but I've met people that struggle with it for years. In every one of those cases I know there were other...
You can't ignore something that your brain considers a threat, your brain will make you aware of it since that is it's job, make you aware of...
Hi Steve, Reading your post I can feel how you are still strongly fighting the tinnitus, which is perfectly normal. In my experience the best you...
You're already on your way! I know it can be a slow process, but I've heard many experts say that loudness and type of tinnitus doesn't matter as...
I had a really high pitched tinnitus (and sometimes a very low humming too), which I could hear through everything. No matter how loud I turned on...
You will get there, don't fight your thoughts and emotions, but allow your body to heal from this. If you're talking about the youtube Cranio...
If you're bothered by it, you're brain still has negative meaning attached to the tinnitus. If you allow these negative emotions and thoughts, you...
If it helps you, great. But I would disagree. Don't fight the negative thoughts and feeling, but let them be there, the will eventually start to...
I know for sure that it was way louder in the beginning, specially in the panic phase the first 3 months or so. I was actually afraid that the...
I am very well, in fact even better then when I wrote this story. I pretty much never think about tinnitus anymore, even staring at the wall seems...
Fantastic! I wish you all the best on this journey, I know that you will get there.
@Bobbie7 Thank you, that made my day! :)
@Brendy Great that you are so far already! @John Meyers I noticed that I don't even notice spikes anymore, and if I do I don't really care. For...
@Brendy Remember to write your own story here when the time is there ;)
@Pierre Boulle Well put! A lot of dark stories keep flooding the internet coming from people in their panic, these tell the brain to view tinnitus...
@Marie79 It's hard to say exactly, because it happens outside of noticing, but it was about 1 year and 7 months or so. Then I noticed that I had...
@Greg Sacramento Thanks!
@Greg Sacramento Thanks for your input. I'm not sure what you ment by the natural spring water, would you just add a couple liters to your bath...
Thanks for letting me know Brendy! You could have your hearing examined to check if you really do have permanent damage. The awareness of...
Thank you all. Every second brings you closer to the place where me and DoubleD finally arrived. Everyone is different, but if you try to do the...
It has been almost two years since I plunged into the dark pit of tinnitus despair. The road to recovery was a long one, but on it I found the...
