@Tom Cnyc I can safely say that I am 100% habituated - I haven't been active on TT for ages but drop back in every now and again to check on...

@glynis How are you? Hope you're okay after your hospitalisation! Glad to hear from you though and thanks for taking the time to reply. I was...

Hey @amymilly - T can take the form of a beeping sound and from what it sounds like you probably had a quick bout of fleeting tinnitus. It often...

Very interesting and exciting stuff. I know it's best to exercise caution with news like this but it shows that work is being carried out and...

@DebInAustralia Yes quite possibly - although it doesn't work 100% of the time in fairness...buuuut then again more often than not :)

For me it's weird - sometimes I wake up with blaring tinnitus which diminishes in 10-30 minutes and remains quiet throughout the day. Other times...

@gobolts07 I'm glad that I could be of some help! Really happy to hear that you're well on your way to habituation. Remember it can be a long...

Hey @chaosgodloki What kind of gaming headset do you use? I have Turtle Beach XO Seven's and was using them when my Tinnitus was triggered. I...

This is important for all people new to tinnitus. It CAN go away even after months so don't despair :)

@Raggs - one of the worst things you can do is force habituation. This only serves to increase your awareness of it! Honestly it will happen more...

Hi all, I wrote my personal success story which you can find here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/its-there-but-who-cares.12246/ It's a...

So when and where can I sign up for the trials haha? In all seriousness I do live in the UK so presumably the trials will be held here too like...

The short answer is yes, BUT it's not always as simple as that. It will vary person to person - I for one have a form of mild reactive tinnitus,...

@Georgia I am amazed that you have such a mature understanding of your situation and therefore I think you will be absolutely fine in the long...

In my own experience, with noise induced tinnitus, Gingko Biloba had absolutely no effect whatsoever after taking it every day for 6 months. Not...

Hi @Cymro41 How long have you had your T? If you are in the early stages (first few weeks/months) take comfort in the fact that everyone here...

@derpytia I can't really add anything that other people haven't said. I just want to say that I feel for you, you do matter and you CAN get back...

@NiNyu I never actually said I needed to consciously think about T to hear it. I hear it every day, sometimes it's easy to mask and sometimes it's...

I think that is the most important point to be made here. One can think about tinnitus day to day, but it becomes less and less of a problem when...

@Mad maggot I had wondered about both muscle and neck tension and anxiety! It may well be that it is exacerbating my T so massages could be a...

@Quentino I don't really know if it is reactive, but some days it is louder (for some unknown reason) and some days it is quiet and easily masked....

I don't have a picture of it online unfortunately, but like I said in the original post there was only a very slight drop off at the highest...

@jimH I gotta say that the best 'cure' I found is to just be around other people, talking, sharing and most importantly laughing!

@Rina I used to take Gingko but it didn't do anything so I stopped taking it :)

I don't take Melatonin, but I'm in the middle of my finals so stressed to the max haha, that's presumably why!

@Tintintin Don't freak out! Just do the same as you did for your right ear :) You'll most likely find that it will go in your left as well.

@Tintintin Keep doing whatever it is you're doing that reduces your tinnitus and your awareness of it! If you think it's getting better it...

I'm going to the ENT on the 31st after 8 months of T. Asides from the general questions I will ask about T, is it worth requesting an MRI scan...

@Tintintin that sucks man, but it's still very early days! Absolutely try not to worry about it as it will only raise your awareness of the...

@LovesToTeach I kind of find that when my laptop fan is working in overdrive, my T will be much louder after I turn it off. It usually settles...

I would take this as an early warning sign and start to protect your ears a bit more. I was the same as you, always listening to music, using...

30 years easy, like what kind of question is that haha? Basically you're asking, would you rather die or live a life where you'll probably...

Well I have general anxiety and I feel as though I have habituated somewhat. The sounds certainly don't bother me too much any more (they are of...

I think on the whole, comparison is pointless as it simply boils down to a person's reaction to their T, whether it's loud or mild. A person with...

@erik93 It's called fleeting tinnitus and it's extremely common! Even people without constant T experience it occasionally, although it may occur...

It shouldn't do...to be honest it probably won't have any noticeable effect at all either good or bad :)

@Thongjy E-mailed you my response :)

@svintegrity Sounds like she's messing around with you a lot, probably a good idea to leave her and find a new audiologist. T's and C's stands for...

@svintegrity I am no legal expert or have any real knowledge about Neuromonics, but do you think you may have grounds for a lawsuit? I suppose...

@Stink However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope. - Stephen Hawking...

Try paracetamol? I've never heard of it making T worse and it usually makes you feel better and brings flu like symptoms (such as fever) down :)...

I know that even if you use earplugs say at a loud bar or club, you can still come away with temporary tinnitus because of the bass vibrations...

Well a T spike after a plane journey would probably be normal, but I think your reaction to it probably exacerbated the T. I'm definitely the same...

I am trying to get myself into the mindset that Tinnitus is just part of my everyday life now and that it is simply not worth thinking about, even...

Thanks for everyone's replies on this thread. I think the other major problem I have is that, like many people on TT, my tinnitus is just not...

@Ken219 No I haven't got OCD. But I am a natural worrier and have generalised anxiety....Which is why it's hard for me to stop thinking about it...

Really sorry to hear that doc. You of all people should be the last to have to experience a major spike like this. Your work on T and with the...

Another from the internet: Every time I'm at home I hear this awful whining in my ears that left me quite depressed. My doctor suggested I should...

Well I mean if you wanted to be 100% safe, it would be better to stay away from clubs and loud bars completely. The thing is though, hiding away...

Ironically, I reckon my tinnitus would be so loud in there that I would be able to last longer than 45 mins ;) Well maybe at least!

@CarolinaGuy THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! If my T permanently stayed as low as it can get, like when I have those silent or quiet moments, then I'm...

Hey @Fiore At the moment the only thing I'm doing is taking Gingko-Biloba every day, but after my supply runs out I will stop taking it as I...
