@Redd09 : I am so sorry. I know how awful this is, or at least how awful it was for me. First thing's first: get checked by a doctor. There are...
In my view, tinnitus loudness is principally a function of attention. If there's no new, sudden hearing loss, you have probably just started...
I'm sorry for your condition; it is no fun at all. I would emphasise that the prognosis is good; even if the sound never goes away completely, it...
There are really only two things you'll find in an MRI, which might change the way you're treated. The first is an 'acoustic neuroma'; essentially...
Take drugs to sleep; don't endure the insomnia. Low dose amitryptaline worked wonders for me. Lots of people also get day-time relief from hearing...
@Nick M With the benefit of hindsight, I feel a little less annoyed about this than I did at the beginning. Tinnitus hasn't been the focus of a...
@Bam I take 25mg in the evening; I was put straight onto it by my doctor, so don't know if 10mg would have done the job. I had been prescribed...
So I thought I'd post an update. Nearly 4 months in, and things are a lot better. I can still hear a hissing whenever I listen for it, but I now...
Old thread I know, but I thought I'd add that I've been on 25mg for about a week and have had both spikes and quiet days so far. Going to give it...
Any updates on this? I'm taking 25mg for sleep, and it worked great for two days, then hardly at all last night and I have a spike now. Probably...
Just saw this old thread as I'm now in a similar position: T for 6 weeks and seriously down. To be fair, it has backed off a lot in the last few...
Thanks!
Thanks for these: will try them all!
@Jill Ridge 28 days, eh? I'm on day 9, I think, so will have to go back to my GP. The problem is it's not like this T will be gone in another...
I do feel better on sleeping pills. It's only the 'Z' drugs that seem to do the job for me though: I have discovered that my weird super-power is...
Hello all, At present, it appears I can only sleep with hardcore sleeping pills. This is not a long term solution, I know. Last night, I tried to...
@SugarMagnolia , Probably not, unfortunately. And having my own office isn't possible, either.
@Tinniger My T started in the left ear but seems now to be in both. It's about static hissing and ringing - very loud. It has no pulsatile...
@Vertti, I've tried propranolol for anxiety, and while it did work a bit for anxiety it made sleep impossible. I'm on zopiclone now, for the last...
The problem with sound is that I find I can't get comfortable with sounds that are related to my T. Playing them makes me anxious. I can listen to...
Dear Vertti, I am still new to tinnitus, but I also have sleep problems. I am a research scientist by profession and I've looked at sleep...
One day at a time.
Hello all, Three weeks into this rather difficult journey, and I find the biggest problem is sleep. I know - or hope - that this will get easier...
Hmm: I can see it's not going to work. Those Bose things aren't going to cut, I suspect. Headphones are really a must in a shared office - that or...
@kelpiemsp : Yes, I read those threads last week, while lurking. I suppose I'm just looking for a way to have my cake and eat it - not taking the...
Dear Glynis, This sounds like exactly what I'm after, but I can't find any concrete products online to buy: can you direct me? Many thanks, Tom
Dear all, I am 3 weeks into this nightmare, but still just about coping. Before my tinnitus started, I regularly used over ear Bluetooth...
Hello all, I've had this rather distressing condition for nearly 3 weeks now. Mostly left ear, a sort of hissing which occasionally breaks into a...
