It's so strange.. You'd think it would be instant..

But I'm vegetarian :(

Sorry, just not in the best of places at the moment. I think these dark winter nights mess with my head too. Feeling pretty much how I was when...

These things take time, unfortunately. I appreciate there are a lot of people struggling and are desperate. But at least the wheels are turning....

Hi, thanks for your reply. The trouble is, I find it so difficult to explain what it sounds like. Sure, I have 'pure tones' of T, which mainly...

The thing is, the majority of these people on these lists are quite wealthy compared to us. They might well have a variety of issues that we don't...

Merry Christmas to everyone on here. I know I've not been around here long, but I the help and support I've received has been incredible and...

While I'm not experienced enough to know how to properly advise you moving forward, I can assure you that you are not alone, and that most people...

Just want to chip in here.. I think my T is noise induced. I have a couple of 'pure tones' that seem to shift between both ears and do disappear...

All I want for Christmas is for someone to buy it in January and subsequently report on here a significant reduction in their tinnitus over the...

This isn't to say I don't have my moments of self pity. In honesty, I'm not someone with much self esteem, if any. I really don't think too much...

Sorry to hear you are feeling like that. At this time of year, I think it hurts a bit more because you know that, for most people, this really is...

This electrical noise is driving me crazy. I'm at work, and when I move my eyes it shifts and changes. I can't even describe how annoying it is. I...

I have the same app :) I used it a couple of times to play crickets and things when this first started. But I've found that I don't really need to...

I'm trying my best to give my ears a break, but I don't really know what that is. I'm not attending any places where there is loud music. Even in...

Thanks guys - I didn't know reactive tinnitus was real. I'm laid in bed and the only sound I can hear is the electrical noise. I really wish this...

To be honest, I'm still in the stages of figuring my T out and how it reacts to things. I still rally don't know. Just having the TV on low at...

To be honest, coming to work and seeing my colleagues is one of the few things I look forward to. If it wasn't for them, I would be in a very dark...

Yeh, I know, it's just with mine, I can hear people fine, I just struggle to gauge how loudly I am speaking. Maybe I'm looking for something...

Does anyone know of any sort of ear plugs that can just take the edge off noise, but still allow you to have a conversation? I've got some...

So, I seemed to have calmed down a bit. I probably feel 70% my normal self. Still being put off doing some things like watching TV, and it just...

A doctor had a look in my ear and said that from the outside, it looks fine. They'd see impacted ear wax straight away wouldn't they? My ears...

Thnk you for your post. Many people have told me it gets easier. It's just that difficult at the moment, I am that fixated, that that is difficult...

I'm in the UK, so would you recommend I get one done by the NHS? Or does anyone know a better place to go? I think what is frustrating me is how...

No, not yet. When I went to the docs he wasn't interested in my tinnitus. I need to go again and see a different doctor. But I'm not sure what...

Well I'm glad that you're a better place now. That gives hope to people. I'm still trying to figure out what on earth is happening. It's just...

I hope so. How do you find your t now? I know people with it, maybe not as loud as mine, and it never affects them. It just consumes every moment...

It's only been 2 weeks. My last gig was 2 weeks today. I did two gigs that weekend. Thank you for your post. I think mine is much higher than...

Thank you very very much, you give me some hope. Obviously, I'm very new to all this, but your experience and knowledge is far greater than mine,...

Thank you for this Michael. I'll heed your advise. I don't think I'll be playing with my band anymore and Ill stay clear of headphones. I work at...

Hope you're right my friend, I really really do.

This all sounds very promising, I've not really researched anything. Just sorted of accepted that there isn't a cure and there never will be, in...

Hi, I did it playing with my own band. I played in a rock band from being around 14 to 20. Had a break until I was 25, this time last year. It...

Last night, I got into bed and it sounded much much quieter than it has been. I could hear it, but I would have given it a 1/2 out of 10. I woke...

Trying my best. It's all come as bit of a sucker punch. Hoping for the best for you.

I get that buddy, it's just very hard to believe in my current situation. Just get scared when you read posts about people struggling after years....

This happens with me, mostly. When I listen to music, the hiss is masked by the high pitched tone. When things quieten down, the high pitch tone...

That's very kind of you, seriously. Perhaps I will write to you at some point tomorrow, as I think it's bedtime for me soon (even just typing that...

Would you mind? That might be helpful. Just really worried and lost at the moment. And the worst thing is that I can't see how I will ever...

Thank you for your post. That gives me some hope, but I've never been that lucky really. Weirdly, it doesn't affect my sleeping so much. It dies...

I'm very sorry to hear you are going through all that. I really am. I find it incredible that MRIs and things can just instantly make things so...

It's just so hard to believe... The thing is, I don't really mind one of the tones that I have. It comes on when I listen to music or if the TV...

Thanks for that. I did read your success post, it was very insightful. As I read, I was really hoping that I could do the same, but as I sit here...

Thanks for your replies. So last night I went to accident and emergency and my local hospital because I was suicidal. A doctor said I might...

Thanks everyone for your replies. It's interesting to hear what everyone is like. At first, I focused on the other tone. They one everyone hear...

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, again. What you say does help, honestly. I think my OCD definitely doesn't help here. I have had...

I've already ordered several pairs of ear plugs. I will never play again without them. I'm an absolute wreck at the moment. I'm pretty sure it...

Thanks for your replies, appreciated. I've looked into reactive tinnitus just now and it seems to be similar to what I think I have. It...

Thank you so much for your reply, much of what you said makes sense. Regarding playing with the band, it's not something I can give up...

Sorry to post again... So now, I'm sat at home in my living room and its absolutely silent. In my ears I can hear a really high pitched...

Thank you both for your replies, much much appreciated. Michael, how would you rate how loud your T is? Just say if you are sat watching TV,...
