I have been habituated for a long while now to my baseline level. If i don't take benzo for a spike, it goes down as well, just slower, it's a...
If you have not noticed, you are on a topic i created over 2 years ago when i discovered the amazing effect benzo had on my ear issues. I do not...
Benzo saved my life & telling people to not use them because of anecdotal evidences of them not agreeing with some people is not a good idea. As...
I have had visual snow for a year, started about a year after tinnitus. I don't think benzo even affected it one way or another. Distortion...
Still works pretty well. My baseline tinnitus is much lower than it was 3 years ago when I made this thread but I still take benzo whenever I...
I first got tinnitus a little over two years ago after a a single acoustic trauma. Tinnitus, hyperacusis, reactive tinnitus. The first few weeks,...
Well, life before T was different. I don't even remember thinking once the northern line was loud in the past. Crowded, hot, yeah, but loud, nope....
I travel to London very often. Ever since T, i mostly avoid the underground or keep to modern lines with AC trains. For exemple, i never take the...
Reactions to this thread are strange. Bill never said every single T sufferer will get worse if exposed to noise level that would be safe for...
Since i'm quoted here, i'm going to expand on my case. Tinnitus after 25 minutes in a concert last year (first ever concert, i hate loud...
So far, yes, and it works for me. In the first few weeks, i tried not do, to have sound enrichment at night and everything got worse gradually to...
Well, from a purely science pov, no. If you add a -249V voltage to 250V voltage, you get a harmless 1 V voltage. That's the idea. I have a...
Well, a sound is a wave. Bose ear cancelling headphones send an inverted wavesound in your ears so that the sound is cancelled. So that you ears...
Maybe some noise cancelling bose would help ? To send an inverted drill signal ?
Not a robot yet, but i may consider it if a robot body get us brand new ears one day :p .
I've read that some dentists can use things like laser drill that supposedly make way less noise. Could be a solution.
Hey all, I had my initial trauma 10 months ago. Was a difficult first few months, but I protected my hearing a lot (avoiding loud places, wearing...
This is already an old thread. Tbh, i'm finally on my way to habituation from my RT. I realized it's not that loud when it's not reacting, so...
Well, it's more of less the same. T is crazy reactive but at least it doesn't get worse permanently so i try to start to live again with it....
Right away, i was maybe a week in, i was a mess, a psychiatrist prescribed me oxazepam and zopiclone to sleep. Took them, within 15 minutes...
Yes, no more T, no more H, nothing left. All benzos work more or less but the most effective in killing my T is oxazepam for me.
Benzos already work for me and others in that effect. That give me hope similar pill without side effect could eventually appear.
Thanks Michael but i don't see it as negative thinking. I forced myself to do things i didn't like a minimum in order to "fit in" a bit, and...
I'm with bill on that one. I usually force myself to go out a few times a year in order to have a minimum amount of social interaction with...
I've entertained the possibility of suing the city where i got my T as well. Mine is from a concert in a public place i left quickly since it...
Thanks Paulie, i could try that. The pain is not unbearable or anything. I'm just a bit scared for long term use that it could get worse.
An ENT i saw last week has me try gabapentin (200 mg / day). There seems to be a very slight improvement of my T with it, but I'm having some...
Thanks, my GP told me again this afternoon that he fears barotrauma if I try HBOT with my pressure problems. This is an impossible choice :(
In insight, the way i did it was terribly wrong, but it was very close on onset and had a very hard time thinking straight. I was on about 6 mg...
I'm now 2 months and a half in, and even if not as severe as in the beginning, I still have ETD issues, can't properly equalize with Valsalva and...
I can only offer support. I managed to stop daily usage after about a month and only suffered about a week of rebound anxiety (but those days...
Do you think using benzo something like one week out of 4/5 weeks is something that is doable withing long term issues ? I mean, benzos also...
11 weeks on for me, and it still have not gone away. I hope it will go away like yours though since it's the end of summer, it's starting to...
I learnt english very quickly basically the same way, not at school, but watching tv shows in english with french subtitles.
Can't this make thing worse ? I have ETD issues/ear crackings/had fluid for the first few weeks as well since my trauma and i'm scared of...
The psychiatrist and ENT that follows me at the hospital think the same thing. I tried to explain that mine react to sounds and well, i can go in...
Would you mind telling me which neurologist you went to ? (In MP if you want) I assume he is in Paris.
Nope, i bought one at onset hoping it'd be a good idea but running water spike my T :/
This make me want to keep taking benzos a few times a month. Maybe it's absolutely stupid, but I think if my brain has days without tinnitus a...
I think @orbiter12 has something similar. I too have reactive T but it never stopped yet in my 10 weeks of T. I hope it will because it's hell.
I thought about that over the last 2 months. Then eventually, last time I had an headache, I had enough and took the ibuprofen I took all my life...
So far, it has always come back down, but it can take some time (random, minutes, hours, once it lasted over a day).
You give me hope, it's been 7 weeks for me with that. Without the reactive whistling, i will feel pretty much half cured. I mean, today, it's...
Do you mean, your T stopped being so reactive at some point ?
Yes, my baseline T is static and i have this as well. Sadly, not only with tv, but with fans, water noises and wind. When exposed to those...
Thanks for the answers, everyone Basically, they did an up to 16K audiogram, and they looked into my ear, mouth and nose, talked and theorised....
Ever since my acoustic trauma 7 weeks ago, I've had tinnitus in my right ear but that's not all. If I lie on one side, my ear on that side become...
Does this happen often ? I thought people either had to in one ear or in the head from start.
I have stopped using an hairdryer ever since i got T a month and a half ago due to the sound as well. It's annoying, since either i spend 30...
Maybe a stupid question, but if Tinnitus is more in the brain, why can we spike it with sounds in the T ear.
@newbieT Amazingly, same thing happened to me at noon today (from hearing a pressure cooker) . Sharp pain that made me reach to my ear, and kept...
White noise is a definitive no for now. A few seconds of white noise and T spikes to never seen levels. Other daily sounds, i can listen to only...
Thanks michael, I have appointements with various specialists over the next month, but those take time, especially in the summer months where many...
I'm struggling with my 6 weeks old tinnitus. Unlike many tinnitus here, it seems to follow a pretty standard pattern. The more sounds I'm exposed...
I am seeking help, but finding the right people takes time. So far, not much luck. I'm trying to see a new T specialist in august. So far, i can...
I am resentful as well even though i know there is no point. I'm resentful toward "normal people" but also especially toward those people with...
Basically, i was prescribed the first week Xanax and Bremozepam to alternate for "small panic attacks", told to use zopiclone for worse days, and...
I never claimed it'd work for eveyone of course. But yes, i was actively looking for it every few minutes and it wasn't there. I heard T starting...
So far, ive been stuck at home with severe H / reactive T, and only see a specialist ENT in august (vacations time). My days are doing nothing at...
They don't seem to tranquilize me much. I've had the 6 move active hours i have had ever since i got T. It can understand improving H et T via...
