Update: Well, TT. It's about time I stop feeling sorry for myself and going crazy about my T and H. Just today, I watched the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", and it got me in a sad mood where I yelled in agony and teared up; causing a spike in my T and my eye to hurt/blurry...

Time to move on.

Hello, Lynnette. Things are ok for the most part. Yeah, I was bummed about losing my job, but I will get another one. I went through the gauntlet of tests and my official diagnosis from a neurotologist (ENT/neurologist) is Tinnitus and Hyperaccusis. He then suggested Tinnitus Retraining...

Wow, Markku. I've been taking Lipo-Flavonoids with 1mg of B6 per pill for two months now. I know it's a small dose, but it adds up. I just read the wiki page on B6 and got scared out of my life. Should I be worried?

A local ENT suggested taking Melatonin. I took a time-released 3mg dose for about 2 weeks, and was sleeping relatively well until I started having disturbingly vivid dreams for two consecutive nights. The ENT warned me about this, and suggested cutting the pills and half to see how it goes. I...

Hey, Ben. I'm relatively new to T and H, and I give you credit for dealing with yours for so long. It's good that you have a career on which to focus. I'm not sure on what advise to give you since you've undergone so many treatments and, I'm guessing, have heard every trick in the book to help...

I have an appointment with a therapist at a behavioral health clinic this coming week for a psychiatric evaluation. A psychiatrist might be there was well. I imagine that I've been getting plenty of vitamin B from my daily multivitamins and Lipo-Flavonoids, but I might try taking a straight...

I was at my friend's house. At first, we had it down low, but he turned it up a little when I put on the ear muffs. It might have been around 75 db which is my discomfort level on my right side. I noticed my T spiking during play but just ignored it. I also had some cotton in my ears most of...

My neurologist prescribed Prednisone for the migraines and pain associated with my T and H , and it helped bring down the volume of my T pretty well. Even though it might bring it down a little, do not think you are safe and can subject yourself to loud noises again. I hope it works out.

Hey guys. I'm back due to a spike after playing a video game with gunshots. I was wearing some ear muffs, but they weren't tight enough around my ears. Now, my T is up to about a 4, 5, or 6. I'm also starting to hear some lower pitched beeping that sounds like pulsatile T in my right bad...

I'm going to wait a little while before I take on a new job.

Update: I lost my job today. I was told that it wasn't going to work out, and I agreed with them. I haven't been there in spirit, and I've been so foggy that my work and concentration has faltered. Plus, I took too many days off for doctoring, some of which were probably unnecessary. It was...

Hey, Stina. Thanks for the advice. I'll ask tomorrow.

Update: A loud microwave spiked my T in my right ear. I hope this isn't permanent. It hurt. I'm going for more testing at another ENT tomorrow. Ugh! This stinks! :(

Update: the only thing that seems to work in helping hearing my autophony sounds (breating, footsteps) again and making me feel normal is putting in earplugs. I am trying not to over use them, though. Any input on that would be appreciated. Thanks -Chum Edit: I'm also at my desk wearing...

The appointment was, I guess, good overall, but still kind of rough. I got a little emotional and anxious when speaking to his assistance about what I've been going through. He said the CT scan was only 6mm which he thinks is clear enough to diagnose a dehisence. After doing some tests he said...

Hello again, TT. I just got the news yesterday from my local Ear and Eye hospital. The Doc there said that there is a possibility of minimal Superior Canal Dehiscence in my right ear. An appointment is set up for Friday for a doctor to help identify and manage it. They said that they...

First of all, welcome, marco. :welcomesignanimation: It's good that you've come here for help. I am relatively new here, and I can say that the people here are VERY helpful. It is said that you should avoid taking Aspirin for pain as it could make your T worse. I've been put on Indocin...

Hey, Lynnette. Thanks for your reply. Overall, my T wasn't affected by testing. There was one test where a small speaker was put in my ears to make a semi-loud knocking sound, but, thankfully, it didn't hurt me or increase my T. All the other tests had no chance of affecting my T, but some...

Update: (This feels more like a personal blog now, but at least I'm getting down my thoughts. :woot: ) I got the other CT scan done today and actually saw the girl from my vestibular therapy as I was leaving the imaging center. She asked me how everything went with at the hospital...

Update: My Neurologist's office called and said that my MRI results are normal, and my EEG showed a low heart rate at base line which is normal for a young person. I'm pretty relieved and am going for the CT scan of my ear bones later today. If I don't hear the results of that come Monday, I'm...

Yes, Stina. These doctors are very good. I feel very blessed and am grateful to be able to see them. I just wanted to get the Doc's take on AM-101 as I'm not really thinking about doing a study or participate in the trials for it. I think they are only doing it in certain cities which might...

Hello again TT, Here's an update on my situation with mild to moderate T and H, dizziness, nausea, headaches, vision changes, anxiety, and depression. Yesterday, I visited the Eye and Ear Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa. and was given several tests including an Ocular Motor Screening test...

Hello again, Stina. You, Grace, and I are in pretty similar situations. I don't know about Grace's but our T is new, noise induced, and relatively mild. Plus, we have good support and are doctoring, but our anxious personalities sometimes interfere with our habituation, and, I'll admit, I've...

I'm 3 months into T with a more debilitating spike at 2 months. It's a shame because I was in a good place and getting habituated to it quite well, but I just had a spike yesterday due to listening to music in my car too loud for a matter of minutes. :facepalm: As a result, I had to mask it...

Good stuff, Christine. I'm glad you're feeling back to your goofy old self. I was that way before my T got worse a month ago. I think I will get back to quoting movies and finding the meaning in every moment of life like I used to. (y)

Thanks, Stina. Yes, my T is noise-induced, so I know that there is no cure for it, but I'm going to pursue treatment to help with it. Yes, I've been giving all of my pain and suffering to God and trusting in Him. When I've been praying to God for healing, I've been hearing him say, "I'm going...

Hey, Gary. As you might remember, I went home after my ENT told me to deal with it. I just recently got the ball rolling for psychological help (appointment in a month). I must admit. I feel guilty for throwing so much of my pain and questions onto a group of people who aren't professionals...

1. My T started after a night at a loud club. I was under some depression/stress. 2. I had tubes put in my ears when I was a kid, but no frequent ear infections after that. 3. I didn't listen to loud music, but the music at the club was loud. 4. My T increased after an incident with...

I was told by an audiologist the same "since you're young, it probably will go away". My ENT said to just get used to it until it goes away. I haven't been told to try the whole popping your ears trick. I seems risky to me. I'm new to this stuff, so take my advice with a grain of salt. I'm...

I wish BT would have the same thinking. Mine started after he blasted the music in a club when I saw him.

Hello again TT, Again, I apologize for the long post, and there's still more. If you'd like some background of my story. I have a post in the "Introduce Yourself" Section. It's been a rough month for me, as I've been trying to deal with a more debilitating T (4 or 5 out of 10...

http://www.aurismedical.com/p/news/news_41.php?lg=en Interesting... AM-101 sounds promising. I'm technically in the "acute stage" (1-4 months of getting it) , so I hope I'm not missing out on being able to do something before something is too late. I admit, just today, I feel more...

Oh, I'll be on here and reading as long as my problem is here. If it goes away, I, like others I guess have, will fade away and put it behind me, God willing. I don't mind the pun. In fact, I've been saying to myself that my story puts a new meaning to "ringing in the new year". Hardee-har-har.

I ran out of edits, so I'm making a correction in a reply. The term I'm guessing I will hear a lot from people here is "habituate". "Habitualize" is not a word. :banghead: Habituate, habituate, HABITUATE! NO! Make it go away! HABITUAAATE! :wacky:

Hello, Tinnitus Talk members. I have been looking through the forum over the past couple of weeks, and it's been scary and helpful. It's been scary to know that some people have Tinnitus for years and lifetimes and helpful to know that others' have gone away relatively quickly. I see myself...
