Went to see the new Nolan movie a couple of days ago and forgot to take my earplugs with me. Had to spend almost half the time with fingers in my...
Until recently I thought that the 'spikes' everybody speaks about here is just a matter of your attitude, i.e. today I'm sad and grumpy, and I pay...
Something of that kind happens to me as well. My idea is that when we sleep the body kind of "turn off" the senses, we don't stop hearing...
Beautifully written and really soothing. Thank you.
I already 'hear' more than I'm supposed to, so I'd just prefer my normal hearing back, thanks! :)
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22229662.400#.U1jgPvldWg8 Wanted to share this with you.
Hey mate! I'm writing from my work, so I didn't have the time to check the whole thread, sorry, but just wanted to share a little encouragement...
Almost 4 month into my tinnitus I have to say that my sleep problems are gone. Even though I hear the whistle clearly I can easily dose off and...
From my personal experience, flying with T is exactly like flying without T. Since the onset of mine I have flown almost a dozen times, and it did...
@DebInAustralia, what a perfectly informative answer! I would also suggest going to an ENT to rule out anything that can be easily fixed by...
Please don't be sad! Actually, in my experience, it is possible to hear "silence". Just after I wake up I hear nothing. The tinnitus sound is...
Hello! Please don't think I'm being rude, but I sincerely believe that if you're comparatively okay about your simptoms, you should leave this...
That's the spirit! I also find Autifony approach more appealing, but I wouldn't expect them to present ready solutions any time soon, given that...
I have thought about something similar, actually :) Also, from a little different perspective, after that sound being there for two months it...
Whenever this happens to me (like today) I remind myself that it's not the sound that changes. It's my perception. There is a curious effect...
I'm really really sorry for what you have to go through. And I think that continuing your education would be really good for you. I know it's...
Also, a little mind trick that helps me a lot. I know that I'll be able to live with tinnitus for as long as I have to, I will habituate and...
Hello there! First of all, I want you to know that you are not alone at all, and that you definitely will feel better soon. I am in a situation...
My strong opinion is that you shouldn't do that, as this in no way helps your tinnitus, but may (and eventually will) lead to hyperacusis....
That's purely awesome, man. Thank you for your post, and good luck!
Of all the inspirational examples this one is my favourite:...
By the way, even before I got T, I once was thinking about people taking their lives and other depressing stuff. I came up with an idea that...
My understanding is that, according to one of the theories, tinnitus is caused by damage to outer hair cells, which may be so inessential that, in...
That's a shame. I just thought that if the next conference is held somewhere in Europe I would be delighted to try to attend it. But flying to NZ...
More than that, I truly believe that studying can help you habituate sooner. Stimulating the brain, creating new neuron connection, all that...
This happened to me once. I was watching a movie, almost not hearing my tinnitus, when suddenly there was a feeling of blocked ear and a gradual...
By the way, this is the story I referred to in my post:...
Today I ran across a statement which is obvious, yet we very often forget about it: "Stop reading forums. Like I said in my big post, nobody goes...
I have always worried about damaging my ears in a plane, but in the end damaged them at a concert :) As for the planes, I have taken 7 flights...
I am probably not in position to give you any sound advice (being just two months into T myself). But I would also tell you to try and not worry....
I guess, 八达岭 is not one of these places? :) But still I got a chance to visit it this summer.
Aaran, how funny it is. We are complete strangers from different parts of the world, but we have been to a lot of same places. I like that.
Can relate here. Not two weeks, though, but I found out about such a condition as T on reddit within a year before my onset. I read a comment by...
My concern was: if am101 is basically a substance which inhibits transmission of signal from cochlea to the brain to decrease the strength of...
Thanks to everybody for your kind words and advice. I managed to calm down and fall asleep, then woke up in complete peace (after a good night's...
I keep going to my friends' small parties, but they've never been too loud. Usully there's just very low bacrground music, if any. And we can...
Thank you very much! Will be trying the breathing. I tried to do it along with the video and it felt soothing.
By the way, a crazy idea occurred to me. Can it be that solar flares make our T spike? I heard about a big one not so long ago.
Thanks again for your support! I am also a bit worried by the fact that my sound constantly changes. Basically, I have two tones in my right ear,...
Thank you! Right now it feels like there's nothing in the world I can enjoy. Probably, you know that feeling. Being alone doesn't help as well....
Thanks, Shan! I think I got too confident over the last couple of weeks, when I managed to fall asleep without background noise, and that...
I checked again, and I DO have the new tone in my other ear. What a day.
Guys! I think I could do with some support. Today was dreadful, and I don't even know why. There actually were no spikes, my ringing wasn't...
Never really cared about listening to the silence before the onset of T, so the info might not be very reliable, but it seems to me I might...
Have had them since as far as I remember myself. Always had this "it's not a bug, it's a feature" attitude towards them, as I am only able to see...
You definitely will. God, just to think... Exactly a week ago I was ironing my shirts and composing a post to tell you that T is not to be feared...
Thank you for sharing! Every bit of positive information makes it easier to reconcile with life and adapt. This is the recipe my parents are...
@James White, that's exactly what I was going to say. The study focuses on children who have their umbilical cord blood stored. And the number of...
Thank you for this very reassuring post! And I am really amazed by the fact that your T started in Oct 2012, and today you are able to tell us...
Just happen to be alone for a couple of weeks. Feels tough.
I was wondering whether a controlled LSD trip could be of any benefit for tinnitus sufferers. Yet I'm afraid of an extremely high probability of...
Thanks for your answer, LadyDi! I think I start to grasp the concept of support groups and forums, sometimes it helps a lot just to know than...
My experience is very limited (>2 months). But still. I try to keep away from coffee (for no obvious reason, though), and somehow I feel it's a...
Hi there! I'm a newbie here, but I've read the forum for a while and would to thank all of you for being there and doing what you do. It's a long...
