I sometimes wonder if trying «everything» actually have made me worse. I feel as if tinnitus actually feeds on desperation, and trying so hard to...
True, even tough I feel more sorry for my kids than myself
Zopiclone kicks in fast and will help you fall asleep, but not stay asleep.
Unless you have tested your hearing prior to this discovery, you may have had this hearing loss from 12 kHz and above for many years without...

I hate those! The rare occasions where my tinnitus is not clear and present, these frequent short bursts are always there to tell me it hasn’t...
SSRI and Remeron. The SSRI really does nothing, while Remeron might be helping me fall asleep. However, I suspect the Remeron is causing some...
Makes a lot of sense. It’s been a year for me - and the anxiety, panic, depression and suicidal thoughts have more or less been with me ever...

@Michael Leigh - Regarding headphones/AirPods (music at low volume). Why is this any worse than using hearing aids with masking/enrichment at...
I think the last few weeks might have taught me that I'm completely incapable of suicide. There have been so many nights where I have decided...
Very glad to hear you are still living a normal life!
Hi @Uklawyer. I might disagree - since my tinnitus was really faint/low in the beginning, I think that if I had positive personality and had been...
I know exactly what you mean. I think it is the fact that the sound isn't that loud which makes it more easy to cope with in quiet surroundings....
@Michael Leigh - Regarding masking. Somehow masking makes me even more aware of my tinnitus. And masking at night hasn't provided any better...
Hi @Michael Leigh - thanks for your kind response. My small high frequency hearing loss is probably noise induced. I suspect it's caused by a...
How do you protect your ears when in the boat? Among all the other things I worry about these days of suffering bad only 4 months after onset of a...
You are correct, I only tried out a hearing aid for my left ear. Maybe both ears could have made a difference, especially since I now am also...
