Separate names with a comma.
Unfortunately, sir, you can't. There isn't any remedy in the world that has been scientifically shown to reliably lessen the volume of tinnitus...
have fun. nyc is great in the springtime...
If you want to carry earplugs with you in case they're necessary, that's probably not a bad idea. But it's doubtful under most circumstances that...
Don't know. Is there some evidence that there are increased amounts of tinnitus specifically in NYC relative to the rest of the US, or the world?...
I go to NYC with tinnitus everyday. I live in Chelsea in Manhattan. You'll be fine. I do nothing to protect my ears, and I've never had a...
I had a viscous bout with ETD that began last spring. right ear clogged up. couldn't swallow anything without having a terrible crackling in my...
minor annoyance. used to dominate my brain 100% of the time. now I'd say that I enjoy 100% silence (i.e. that I'm not conscious of my T) a large...
@John Meyers @gobolts07 I think that we all can get caught in 'short-termism' when it comes to our T. By that I mean that you only really...
John, Don't judge yourself too harshly if you have setbacks. Many people (myself included) had setbacks on their trip toward feeling better. 6...
Full habituation can take 1-2 years. But you'll likely be feeling a lot better in a few months and it'll slowly improve from there. First few...
no, and not at all.
absolute nonsense.
fangen, I'm not sure there's any real way to know if a new tone is permanent or not. I hope for you that it isn't. But unfortunately, there's...
I don't know. But I know that trapped fluid behind your ear drum is a cause of tinnitus. When that fluid clears up and the ear drum can begin...
It's very likely that the ringing will go away when the fluid behind your ear clears up...
Drawing from a skewed distribution to see how to help that exact skewed distribution is a valid idea and can help those most at need. Drawing...
Well, I hope that you change your feelings on that. Being close minded toward habituation is unfortunately one of the best ways to hinder it....
Well, in that, we both agree.. I'm very much in favor of more funding to help people suffering from tinnitus. I'm opposed to newbies coming here...
using a support forum for tinnitus as a proxy for the greater distribution of people with tinnitus as a whole is probably a bad idea. people are...
yes, I'd expect that unless your ETD is such that there is a ton of fluid behind your ear which is keeping your ear drum from actually vibrating,...
I would sort of look at things as 3-month periods. months 1-3 I had very little improvement, and needed Ambien to sleep, and Xanax to calm myself...
It's relatively high. Loud. But not maybe as high pitched as some ppl's on here. It goes up and down like a siren. WaaaaaAAAAHHH...
I do believe exactly that. My tinnitus is quite loud. Unmaskable in almost any situation. Can even be heard outside in the streets of...
At some point in the future, you will look back at this time (when you were new to Tinnitus) and wonder why you ever worried about it so much....
If you're new to T, this is quite often one of the worst places that you can go to. Concentrate on the success stories. (Even those here can...
I would take the advice of your medically trained professionals. if you're concerned after a first and second opinion, I'd go and get a third...
Congratulations. Hope the baby (and mother) are happy and healthy.
I would say the chances of it being an acoustic neuroma (or anything that is dangerous to your health) are incredibly slim. Very rarely is the...
Well said.
Kay, it is completely normal to feel overwhelmed early on when you first get tinnitus. Know that the vast majority of people with tinnitus (even...
i took mine a few weeks back and no problems.
no worries, mate. you'll be fine. I sit with two people two offices down who were both in the military. Both have jet turbine sounds going off...
happy birthday, Natalie. try and enjoy your day as best you can. the first few months of tinnitus are a roller coaster, to say the least... even...
2 months in, and you're already having good days. I wouldn't have said that 2 months in. So you are improving. keep up the positive...
mine changes in tone, pitch, etc. is always out of right ear strong/loud. can come out of left ear at times, but is more fleeting there. I gave...
habituation is very real. even for very loud T. Great story.
means you probably have sinus issues. eustachian tube dysfunction (i.e. the tube in your ear is having trouble opening due to inflammation) isn't...
7 months ago I would have paid many years' salary. Now after passage of time, something much, much more nominal. Maybe $2000, certainly not more.
#1 did the camera go in your ear, or up your nose? The eustachian tube cannot be seen through the ear. Gotta go up your nose. #2 don't know....
It's only been a few weeks. It's perfectly normal to feel this way early on. Patience. This too shall pass.
lowering, and eventually removing your emotional reaction to tinnitus is really, really, hard (it's why we all ended up here:)). really the...
Like @glynis , I also have two tones in my ear. One is quite high pitched, but the other is a much lower deeper sound to it. It also pulsates...
If you want to get on a specific diet, safest to speak to your doctor before undertaking it. There is no medical evidence to show that any diet...
No, i haven't. But if it helps, then it helps. Give it a go....
Correlation vs. causality is a funny thing, particularly when talking about your health. You'll see no shortage of stories on this site...
If Antinitus worked, the company that made them would be zillionaires, and the story would be on the front cover of the New York Times.
It's easy to lie with statistics. It's easier to lie without them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. @Dr. Hubbard, and perhaps the other docs on here are practitioners of this method. It's basically therapy sessions...
TRT costs dough, so I'm not going to push you one way or another on that. I know that it has some impressive stats for helping people. I...
Natalie, We're not. It's a support board. Post as much as your heart desires. But my feeling in general for my own recovery was that staying...
(1) No idea. No one else will really know either. But since you're pretty new to tinnitus, and it was likely caused by noise (ATEOS is probably...
you'll look back at this and smile a little someday. you'll feel so much better. tinnitus won't play any role in your life. and you won't be...
Hubbard was great for me. I'd recommend him to anyone. As far as tinnitus remedies, its truly impossible to know what is working, if anything....
No. I did CBT. Worked great for me. I'm in NYC, and was able to see @Dr. Hubbard from this site. Was an absolute godsend for me. Can't say...
what you are going through now is entirely normal for someone who has recently begun to suffer from intrusive tinnitus. I used to lay my head on...
good luck. there's never nothing to be done. there's plenty that can be done. the question is, do you consider getting out and living your life...
Natalie, the chances that your tinnitus is actually dangerous to your health is incredibly unlikely. talk to your ENT. If your tinnitus is...
i work as a mathematician/statistician for a large bank in nyc.
Love hearing this. Congratulations on the speedy recovery (which probably didn't feel all that speed at the time)... eric
Great, now simply show us reliable and verifiable studies published in the juried scientific literature that these needles and disks work, and...
