Alright Alright I'm not looking for a fight. I'm sorry for you that you are in that certain position, and I really hope things will get better....
You have no idea what kind of T I have, I think it's a bit offensive calling someone's T "baby T" as if I haven't struggled at all. As if I...
No, I've been here for a while now. I'm from Belgium and I have a high pitched screeching noise :) I am already doing much better then I was in...
Is there an audiologist on this forum who could give me accurate information? I really get it that most of you are very careful with your hearing...
But some people here still listen to music daily with headphones or even use earbuds to mask their tinnitus with rainsounds. My T doesn't really...
I'll be working there for about 3 weeks, where I'll be wearing headphones for about 8 hours a day (5 days a week). I'll probably set the volume at...
Will this be safe? I'll be wearing headphones most of the day and making calls
I really get what you mean. I love post-rock and I loved mogwai's music. Everything is just so intense with them. But yeah they probably know...
It was dumb because 2 years beforehand I did a schoolproject where we actually tried to raise awareness about earplugs and hearing loss (T wasn't...
I got tinnitus because of mogwai.. Went to one of their gigs unprotected.. Dumbest thing ever..
Could it be possible that because of my increased attention to T lately that it sparks some some sort of mechanism in my brain by allowing more...
I've been taking zolpidem for about two weeks now. (I've used them pre-tinnitus). Finals are coming up and I'm a sucker at sleep then (normally no...
What if we could get the try-guys at Buzzfeed try tinnitus for a day? It would definitely raise a lot of awareness
Clonazepam helped me get a better grip over myself. It even made me believe in habituation more. Giving me hope when there was none. Clonazepam...
I tapered off slowly and had no increase in T whatsoever. I even improved at handling my T
I'm not on any benzos. I'm on anti depressants and calming meds. They don't make me dull or tired. I did use some benzos when I was in the psych...
Are you on any meds for your panic attacks? if not, you should really try some! They helped me a lot. I'm still on them. They don't make me...
I wouldn't give up music, going out with friends, walking the street, going to classes. I did back in September until January. I had to be taken...
I've already read super brain by Deepak Chopra & Rudolph Tanzi, and I'm planning on reading "The brain's way of healing" by norman doidge. Any...
Sometimes when I'm in bed, my T becomes so overwhelming that it seems as if it is silent. That's how I fall asleep. I don't know if this is...
Any comments on this Dr. Nagler? Could it be possible for neuroplasticity to overcome this deficieny of the thalamus/insula?
So I need to come to a point that it doesn't annoy me anymore? So I need to accept it completely as if I wouldn't mind having it or not? What a...
Another upside of T, it makes growing old not seem like such a bad thing! Thank you Dr Nagler! Can't wait to be 80 :LOL:
So I've had tinnitus for 10 months now. The last two months i've really gotten the habituation of reaction down, I think. I don't panic anymore, I...
I've been wondering this because my TRT specialist told me that it's normal for hearing hair cells to die of old age. She ensured me that T...
This is the answer I got from my TRT specialist who consulted with an audiologist about going to a festival with custom made earplugs
I'm 21 and a uni student. So I love going out and partying with my friends. When tinnitus kicked in due to a much too loud festival (and not...
Are you as happy as you were before T?
Yesterday I was sitting in my room trying to study. The T was there but it also wasn't there. It seemed quiet. Very weird, but I liked it. I hope...
So you believe habituation is possible even if you're depressed?
I am depressed. It's no fun. I've even been hospitalised because of it and I'm taking ADs. I'm not confusing anything ;)
So, is it possible to habituate while you're depressed because of T. My reaction to T seems neutral (I think). I don't really panic that much...
Is it possible, if you're habituated, to focus on something in a silent room (like studying) without noticing your T?
Thank you Mark and Kaelon :)
I'm a very practical kind of person. It helps me to believe in habituation and get me through the hard times, if I know exactly how it works. I...
I didn't take that much though, only 0,5 mg a day
Could someone explain to me what medically happens in your brain when you habituate to tinnitus? Not just " you get used to the sound, it doesn't...
my T stayed low due to my reduced reaction to it. Not because of the clonazepam high
I stopped taking it after 3 to 4 weeks. I didn't like the side-effects (I was really sleepy and my hands shook all the time, making it very...
My T is audible in a silent room but soon fades to the background. And when I'm not focused and I sneak a peek by plugging my ears, I don't hear...
I've only been taking clonazepam (0.5mg) for 4 days now, and my T literally disappeared yesterday. Now it's back but barely audible (still need to...
I went back to the ENT today (I was lucky I could make an appointment for today). So my left ear went back to ringing loudly and it continued...
oh yes I get angry a lot, at my T, at myself, at my brain, at the goddamn festival that caused it, at the band that caused it, at my friends that...
Again thank you for explaining all this Silvine! What you are telling really makes sense en gives us some sort of power back. Too bad they didn't...
Everything seems to be fine now today. My left ear has calmed down. The ringing seems very faint now even when plugging my ears. Hopefully it'll...
It's not possible that everyone who has an ear infection and gets prescribed only antibiotics and antihistamines will get permanent T. There must...
My ear doesn't hurt anymore, can it still be inflamed if it doesn't hurt anymore? You're kind of scaring me
Yes my GP diagnosed an infection (to get to an ENT where I live you have to atleast wait 2 weeks) and prescribed me those medicines. Why would you...
Yes I did, I have been taking antihistamines(cirrus) and anti-biotics (amoxicilline) for 2 days now. My ear doesn't hurt anymore, but it still...
So I came down with an ear infection in my left ear this week. And my left ear has been ringing on and off for the past 3 days. Will this...
I read somewhere in your brain filter article that it's because the filters aren't working properly anymore that we experience tinnitus. They...
Wow that was very informative and gives me a sense of control. I like it when theories are thoroughly explained :) thank you
My ENT directed me to this website http://insentis.be/ It's a Belgian website so everything is in dutch. And the 10-second exercise can be found...
Okay I'll read your roadmap, let's hope this works. :)
My ENT really didn't give me much to go on. He was convinced my T was acute and would resolve itself in the following 2 months. It did get a bit...
Thank you very much for your clear explanation Dr. Nagler! about the fact that they suggested TRT is because I'm a very perfectionist kind of...
And what if I can handle my T in silence? I mean I only hear it then. It bothers me but when I'm busy I don't pay much attention to it.
