@Bertman Will do, though thinking about T doesn't bother me like it did, but it finds me no doubt. I think the T itself is fearful as it is really...
@glynis Yes I do, and thanks.
First day was consult with the audiologist/Dr, hearing test again for the umpteenth time, but by law they have to do it if it is over a year old I...
Too early to tell if its working, but one of my hearing aids stopped working and I lost my "crutch" for three days, I noticed a difference,...

@Lisa123 Lisa, I was told similar by an audiologist, its your hearing that gets worse, not your T, shortly after I got back from the trip to see...
I have never worn ear plugs because I don't go anywhere too noisy. I used to be able to use a lawnmower until last spring, however ear muffs make...
@Markku Wow. is this for real?

@Dr. Nagler Wow, so sorry to hear that, a real shock. God be with you!
Sorry to hear you have T. I can empathize with your concern. I had T since 2002, and in 2010 it started to get worse, I finally crashed in Aug of...
@jovionabedofrose Do you work for a large company, have LTD benefits?
I guess we all have different reactions. I have been playing a bell melody for over a month close to, but below the frequency of my "ringing", for...
I am wondering if anyone has done mindfulness and had any success? I would like to chat with you and fine tune my own experience so far.
@Silvine Great example, I got! Light bulb is finally on, I got it!
@valeri There is evidence that it can be helpful for management, I found it got my anxiety and stress level down after about 10 sessions. It...
@Telis I had two different methods, the one you refer seeking I had one session, they reverted me back to the other without the electrical...
Its a very slow process Telis, at least for me, I have severe depression on top of everything else, so I have been a basket case, but baby steps.
yes, I had about 8 probes on my skull, they had complete control of the process, but they gradually gave me control. I just sat there. The process...
hmm that's all I did, passive approach.
Telis, I have done neuro biofeedback, not sure if that is the same as what you are inquiring about?
T is on warp mode today, the worst I think it has ever been. I got a cold and hopefully it is attributed to that, its also storming out and my T...
@st0rch I hear you, no pun intended. I am using a bell melody just below my ringing and it seems to screw with my brain focus on T, I hear the...
@I who love music I never masked either, but I had a thought that if your focus is not on the T, but something louder (perhaps a week or two?),...
Masking does not promote habituation directly. However, would masking assist in moving indirectly toward habituation by developing your "focused...
@Silvine @Mark McDill Well Silvine came up with the idea of the throwing a cobra on my keyboard (above), thought it was amusing so I added the...
@Mark McDillI don't know I have so many irons in the fire and I am pushing them all and I am wore out. Why do I have to do EVERYTHING, even think...
@Mark McDill Thanks Mark. I seemed to get my legs under me, slow steps, now set backs, unexpected when I thought I was progressing, fed up trying...
@Silvine Thanks for your time and you got me to laugh, hasn't happened much lately. Please get that Cobra, perhaps that's what I need in the...
@Mark McDill No unfortunately, not doing well. I'm fed up, out of energy, depressed.
@Paul 201 I'm stuck and I'm angry, yes I need exercise, I lost a lot of weight with my severe depression (as a result of increase in T), started...
I'm struggling big time. I had my T increase for a long time, seems like it plateaued about 2 months ago, now on a 7 or 8 day spike, at this point...
@LadyDi No, I am not doing anything because of the increase in T, I walk to my mailbox across the road and my T goes up, another hurdle I guess....
@LadyDi I can be doing stretching exercises or even as little as going to get some sticks of wood for the fire will turn it up and my blood...
How do you combat the T with busyness, when activity itself increases the T? Any ideas, struggling with this. I don't know how some of you can...
I think the diaphragmatic breathing that is being suggested refers to Mindfulness Meditation.
@jmccombs82 Good luck with that, I couldn't keep up with my caseload and crashed, I'm done! I know exactly where you are coming from.
@Mark K. Hey Mark, try this it helps me. [MEDIA]
Just wondering if anyone has had random tones that might last perhaps up to 30 secs that start sharp and gradually fade to nothing on top of T and...
@Tweaker Clonazepam or Klonopin is a primarily used as a sleep med. I took it for about 2 1/2 months at 1 mg daily. I had no side effects. I had...
Interesting Gabrielle, "even though I was relaxed, no stress, no fear, no anxiety...." I thought it was just me. My expectation was that if you...
@Leah I could not protect my ears from normal everday sounds, if I use earmuffs to mow my grass my T gets worse, as I understand because I am...
Well, by definition I would agree, I am not so sure if Dr. Nagler would. I am wondering if that is me myself. Perhaps its aggravation by H,...
Well, I thought there was a debate over the fact that there is no such thing as "reactive" T, I don't endorse it, but I wouldn't doubt it either,...
@cmkc109 If there is one thing I have learned, live in the moment, not in the future. Worry = anxiety = sleep issues = increase likely in your T....
I notice any physical activity as simple as a short walk, exposure to children joking, going into a silent room (contrast), masking increase the...
Just wondering how people feel about the volume of T.
@Tellis I am doing things out of character, alot of it has to do with depression, likely. Starting counselling with psychologist, done CBT, weaned...
Merry Christmas to all and wouldn't it we fabulous if we all had a SILENT night. Hope 2015 brings us all a better year!
@I who love music The two descent days I felt better, I soaked it up because I figured it wouldn't last. Today is bad, helps me remember that...
@I who love music I think I got it, I stumbled across something when reading a book on mindfulness, "being" rather than "doing", this seems to...
@RicoS I hear it, but I am not stressed or anxiety riddled anymore, but I don't like it, that's about how reactive I am. Fear is pretty well gone...
@Larry OT Perhaps some encouragement for us, I am still trying to "get there", seems possible just takes time....
@I who love music How do you not listen, how do you get your focus off listening, other than keeping busy, or playing music. I am trying to tune...
On the upper flap of your ears, above the opening to your ears, just my preference, never catch me wearing headphone or earbuds again. No you can...
I don't wear headphones over my ears, rather off my ears so I hear, but not have sound directly into my ears. I downloaded some pink music if you...
Benzo Clonazapam, no sound therapy with headphones on, offset headphones when I am in a quiet place.
I do sound therapy 24/7, pink noise, can't wear ear protection makes things worse. The other day it was terrible just motorized traffic tires on a...
I used to be in the Canadian Forces. Believe I got T from noise exposure. I have researched it to death, think I would see some improvement.
@DutchGuy Mine is worse than it was 14 wks ago, I am not in the place mentally I was back then, have taken measures that I would have expected a...
