Well T taught me to make a choice. Either let our physical disfunction fuck up our life and those around us...or.... I’ve been there. Once we...

Well you appear pretty intelligent so whatever you end up doing...be nice! :)

Again that’s the problem with not meeting people face to face (I do do that BTW) . I suffered and have come back to help ( still not sure if it...

So are you successful in using their weekness to satisfy your ego then? Your ego is everywhere on this forum. Ego is the final hurdle.

I don’t believe I’m one of the ‘lucky’ one’s. For one it took me a lot of of will power and for another I started to realise my impatience was a...

I wasn’t taking about two ‘physical parts’ of the brain but thanks for confirming that logic and emotion are in both hemispheres. As for the...

Which things do you you think I should keep to myself ?

As others know on here...I do genuinely care. No facade on my part anyway. I genuinely want to help others but also recognise that some people...

Bewitched? Hmm... seems a troll theme there...anyway I digress... The alternative is that you could carry on doing what you enjoy doing (i.e...

Do you know what, I have wondered if you are the same person? Your posts are very similar. I have given my opinions already about those who make...

If you can point me to where I said that I’ll bite . :-)

I agree with all of this (I was that person!). That is why I’m trying to help them. At the same time there are trolls, users, sympathy freaks,...

I have met people who don’t want to move on because they enjoy the sympathy. ‘Poor me syndrome’ it’s called. We’ve all probably used that one in...

Well then they still hear the noise. In the early stages we feel we have no choice but listen to it. Later we realise that, by being preoccupied...

To be fair most people who come on here don’t really understand the word ‘habituation’. All they want is for the noise to go away...and it does...

Sorry to jump on here but I’m also proud of the majority who move on and no longer suffer....

Don’t give up posting just because of someone else’s opinions. He’s entitled to his opinions, so are we! Lots of newbies to the condition come...

That’s also true.

As has been pointed out to you, nearly everyone DOES move on to a ‘normal’ happy life without a ‘magic pill’. The majority don’t even seek formal...

Ib I suspect that the biggest reason for what we perceive as ignorance is that so many people have a degree of T but aren’t phased by it. When...

Jusr to add to the good advice, it sounds like you are still stuck in the fight or flight loop where the anxiety is making the T worse. When we...

Does it matter as most people eventually move on happily with their lives without any scientific input? The trouble is that science (and the...

The question to ask oursekves is. why would someone want to do that? Fortunately most people can spot the ‘noise’ on forums (no pun intended)....

Yes but people can stay locked into ‘chronic’ tinnitus if they are stuck in fight or flight mode. I remember when I first got my very loud...

Do you mean listening to music through headphones loudly? I still use headphones at sensible levels with no problems. I see a few people here...

I think it’s fairly normal because in the early stages we see it as a loss in our lives. A bit like grief really where we wish we could have done...

I suppose you could always ask someone to drive you in your VW for a while... Stesss certainly could make it worse. Funnily enough I get more...

Perhaps I could leave my ears for research into human flight...

To be honest I haven’t researched much of the scientific and medical evidence yet. That’s why I say people should also take personal experiences...

The most likely link (where there is one), is that any ‘internally’ generated sounds will be more noticeable when there is hearing loss due to the...

I said obsessive behaviour, not OCD! I recognise the difference, but what I’m saying is that the obsessive part can on it’s own make it...

The fact is that a large part of the population eventually get hearing loss but don’t suffer from tinnitus. So there is no absolute link between...

I am pretty sure there is a big link between those who struggle with T and those who are on the obsessive spectrum (speaking as one who is)....

Most of the people here have also been in this dark place at some point. Have a read of the Success Story section. Most people do move on and lead...

Just curious about why in your profile you say this - “I am God's shitpost”?

This is also true.

Also the same stress source(s) which cause the T to spike can cause headaches (and other ailments). Best get it checked out by professionals...

I think a lot of it for me was being very insistent that the T shouldn’t stop me doing the things I love doing. Why let it beat us into...

Well I agree that we need to focus more on the causes rather than the symptom. Tackling it from all sides (psychological and physical) can’t do...

If it turns out T is a natural stress warning signal in most ‘normal’ people then blocking that signal might not be such a good idea. It would be...

I think it’s more like having the super power of obsession to detail. It’s very useful when trying to focus on solving other peoples problems but...

I suspect Gabri meant ‘use’ as in ‘being’ on this forum (I think you know that anyway). I’m sure I’ll be corrected if I’m wrong. Out of...

Yes, I believe memory is a big factor. Temporary T seems to occur in most people under certain conditions. If the T sound (or a real sound)...

Well I don’t believe I am ‘using’ this forum but yes, I wanted to show people what I went through so they might find something in it which will...

Half joking but if you do decode it and it contains callsigns etc then you know it’s real. On the other hand if it doesn’t decode then you might...

We have a saying that sometimes in life you can take one step forwards then two backwards. Fortunately that also works the other way around ... lol

I believe we all get off to sleep by loosing ourselves in our imagination. In the early stages of having T I used babbling brook sounds to help...

I don’t know if you’ve read my other posts but I don’t really like the word habituated. It kind of means to accept or put up with something. I no...

Have you tried sleeping somewhere else a few miles away to check it’s not actually real? As I have been posting in another thread, ot is possible...

I currently believe that T is a natural warning response like pain. Like pain we can lock it in if we focus too much on it. The brain turns down...

That’s why I call it a negative feedback cycle. Perhaps it is technically a positive feedback cycle which has negative effects?!

I’m sure you’ll get there. :-) Definitely try to get out of the fear mindset though if you can. Spikes do occur , so the last thing you want to...

There are nearly always other external sounds you can hear and focus on. Elevators make some noise. Even at nighttime trying to get off to sleep...

That’s why I believe we should NEVER listen for it when we realise we haven’t noticed it for a period of time! Let nature and our brain adapt to...

I do think that by creating all these modern labels for ailments we have also created problems to fix. Lots of profit in fixing problems. Everyone...

I’m saying that I’m sure some people have become aware of it and the fear of it become a trigger for the more permanent variety. Not only with...

I’m beginning to believe that everyone has a degree of tinnitus during their lives. Even if it is only temporary (e.g after a loud concert then...

That’s because when you guys got independence you changed the spelling and meaning of English! Lol :-) It is quite entertaining on both sides of...

Anyone specific Steve?
