The world is suffering enough; don’t add to it. Die to self, do His bidding, and experience a bit of heaven (now) and a hope filled future.
Ruben Retigabine (like Trobalt) is an anti-seizure drug that works as a potassium channel inhibitor (I'm not a pharmacist or chemist, that's just...
@svintegrity Even though this went a little off topic, I think you generated a lot of healthy, interesting discussion and have publicized a very...
SV SWEET!! That is very good news to hear (this is normal -- normal like a killer workout :LOL:). It's very encouraging to know the...
SV So sorry to hear about the set back(s); I'm so sorry you are going through this. Hopefully it is swelling (because that will subside,...
SV Great news! It sounds like it went well; I'm with you, I would take half-volume any day of the week. The vertigo doesn't sound fun; but it...
Good ole' Monday morning research; found a little info about microvascular compression syndrome (neat stuff)...
@svintegrity you need to write a book titled 'Human Suffering; A Tale of Conquering'; I'll buy the first copy. ICU = not fun; I hope the surgery...
SV Good night almighty, you have had a real go of it! Yeah, I would guess habituating to that would be a far different matter than most (to say...
svintegrity I went through stages of settling down; overall it took a little over a year to get to that 'workable' point -- and by workable, I...
Sometimes you just have to say 'what the flip!'
NiNyu Totally agree; it's a loose analogy, but it was only intended to convey the basic auditory pathology and perhaps highlight the difference...
Lisa I'm the same way; it really helps (me) when I know, to some order of precision, what is going on. I don't think I can give you the...
Thanx @svintegrity ; that's very encouraging (made my day!)
@LadyDi I claim ignorance about the suicide thread; but you may be right. I just posted on the 'face value' of this thread; by no means did I...
Telis Good to see you on the site; interesting post. Yes, the military has experimented with directed energy weapons (intense, focused sound...
Alex Yes, I can relate. When I got T (2 yrs ago) it took me to my knees and I couldn't imagine living the rest of my life (much less one more...
@canyonero I read all these posts (and they may be on the right track) but have you looked into eustachian tube issues? I'm sure your ENT could...
This is another dimension of your T that you have to learn to live with (and take measures). Some sounds/freqs can send it into a whirl. It's...
I've noticed a similar phenomenon; but haven't really given it much thought. Like you imply, I just chalked it up to poor hearing (even though my...
Thongly Funny you mention that; I've had lower back issues since my late thirties. Recently (since my ankle surgery) my lower back has been...
MrT You are spot-on; and I can totally relate. I've found that (in my case) I've normalized a high stress so much that I don't 'feel' stressed at...
jeffreyjames Glad you found TT and didn't get 'scroogled' looking for quick fixes. Good on you not getting anxious about T. I had extreme...
MrT T ringing louder when laying down is very typical -- I have no answer as to why the prone position causes this; however, it might be related...
Geoffman My audiologist estimated mine. Doing it at home might not be very accurate (for many reasons) but none less than the fact you will need...
Wow! T is a mystery indeed; I hope they find (and define) all the causes.
I agree with @Luca, I haven't seen a single 'functional' definition of T detailing all the etiologies, pathways, including all the dynamics and...
I claim no team (except maybe my hometown San Diego Chargers); but I'm glad the patriots won
Yes, there are millions (maybe even billions) of suffers, but T has a very wide range of suffering. Most of us on this site just happen to be in...
I wouldn't expect him to fix your T; only your jaw. I would consider it a bonus if it took care of your T; but I wouldn't spend $2800 on a...
Sorry if I sound like a die-hard cynic; but big pharma has zero interest in finding cures. I don't think the T market is big enough to motivate them.
Most hearing audiograms only test up to 8k (normal hearing range); maybe your T is in a higher range.
Noise can make your T worse (perhaps the wifi device or another device in close proximity is making a noise that is getting your T. Giving...
@AlecP Great answers, very honest and articulate. I think you are doing quite well; if you aren't totally habituated now, you will be in the...
Alec From what I read it sounds like you are habituating quite well. If you are getting 10 good days in a row that is exceptional. Here, I...
A cobra (LOL); you haven't lost your sense of humor (awesome). It's all about focus; the more you try, the more you focus (around and around it...
Wow! Exercise made it go up? That sounds like a physical/somatic cause (sorry if I'm stating the obvious). I know what you mean about the...
Blair I'm sorry for your struggles, I know what it's like; I will keep you in my prayers. I know that may not sound like much right now, but we...
Hey Blair Hope you are doing well. I know what you mean, my T goes up no matter what. In fact, mine started out really low today (barely...
This is a great sign (hardly hear it now). You are young; there is a very good chance this will just pass. A buddy of mine (a lot older than...
I'd say it's the break-up with g/f (sorry dude). I have years of experience as a guy and I know we tend to process emotions later than sooner (or...
Sailboardman Good questions. I can hear my tinnitus over everything almost all the time; but that doesn't mean I pay attention to it. In fact,...
I know that chiropractic helps my neck and that can calm my T down a bit.
If I'm at work I routinely go about 4-6 hours without it on my mind
Amelia I just had surgery on my ankle (7 Jan 15) and I talked with the anesthesiologist about it too; they said not to worry and they were right...
I fall into category #2; I don't think I have TMJ but when I yawn or clench my T gets louder. Glad you got a good diagnosis; what's the fix? Mark
@derpytia Sorry to hear you are having these moments (ugh!). I would echo @Jesse Pinkman , Meniere's is a disease; but I would also add it's...
Hi Deb If your nerves calm down you will more than likely be fine. Best to you Mark
I just read this whole thread (very interesting); I've often wondered if I have TMJ (my regular dentist said no). Do you have T in both ears or...
Dan For the first year the only thing that could mask my T were my hearing aids with white noise generators (set at full blast); I could hear my T...
David I have hearing aids with white noise generators too. My audiologist said the same thing (except he said safe @ 60 db over days of use). I...
David You hit the nail on the head! It's all about your reaction to it (not so much your awareness of it). However, the less you react to it...
Actually my audiogram improved a little bit this year (I thought that quite odd). Maybe your brain is still blocking out what it thought to be...
@billie48 We all have a lot to learn from you; thanx for sharing! I broached a little bit of what you are talking about (techniques and methods...
@amandine I agree; they go with the 'fake it til you make it' routine hoping you will just buy off on it. I was really upset with my GP when he...
menierse is an extremely difficult diagnosis; it is suspect that it could be made so quickly
Unfortunately, I have to admit I check it first thing in the morning (can't help it); but since I'm habituated I just don't react to it (I just...
@jellyrajah @Mike82 My first summer vacation with T I made the brilliant decision to rent a van and drive the family 800+ miles on an overnight...
Wow Billie; what a testimony! Thanx for sharing (and I agree with you 100%) Mark
@jazz you are a rock-star!
