Thank you both. And thanks Glynis especially because I know how long you've been supporting people on here and how loyal you are to this cause. I...
How cruel it is when tinnitus returns after virtually disappearing for some months? I have been sleeping without my bedside sound system for some...
Thanks Glynis. The last I read about you, you were in hospital and the ears were very bad I believe. I sincerely hope things are better for you...
Thanks Luman. Us carers deserve medals really. We have to give up everything for a loved one sometimes. I see you're in Brooklyn. When my...
Thankyou.
No I didn't get ear fullness or hyperacusis. I've been exposing my ears to normal sounds of traffic/towns etc all the while. What changed was that...
Greetings. I have not posted here since March 2017. I had been battling (albeit) mild tinnitus after caring for my mother and the subsequent...
Is tinnitus becoming more common? Will it affect a whole new generation and are tinnitus victims getting younger? How many people do you know...
Hi folks, Does anyone here have slight to mild tinnitus? By that, I mean tinnitus that is only heard in a quiet environment that is easily...
Hi Mario. I'm sorry that you're going through this fear patch. Do not discount stress. Stress can cause so many things from stomach problems to...
Yes I do. Mine is also slight to mild and I also have silence at times. I only hear it in the quiet or in silence. It was brought on by the stress...
Firstly, I do not want to be castigated or vilified on here simply because I have mild tinnitus. Not everyone is sympathetic even though this is a...
See how much you've been missed Glynis? Best wishes to you. You're one tough cookie.
It's funny because I don't hear it hardly at all during the day but it's the night that worries me. Thanks for the advice though.
Why do you think your T has got worse? I've read some of your posts and I understand that you also have heart problems. It's good that you say...
Hi! Some people have written in 'Success Stories' that they can now sleep without sound enrichment or even masking. Is this all about relaxing...
Thank you for that. I'm sorry you have very invasive T.
Thanks Mario martz. It's not possible to have too much reassuring advice. I think that for me, the worst bit about my t is when I'm lying still at...
Hi Mentos. You can always count on Glynis. She is remarkable and non judgemental and is always supportive whatever kind of tinnitus someone has....
I am in the same boat Mentos. Tinnitus rules my life. Mine is as follows; I don't really hear it unless I'm indoors at home or in the quiet. When...
I have discussed post traumatic stress with my psychotherapist and that is indeed what we think I have. I've always had anxiety problems since...
Imagine someone you love losing the use of their legs almost overnight and she goes to hospital with osteoporosis. Imagine that person collapsed...
As 'undecided' says 'I can't be nice', I have reported him for his second comment which is quite frankly unbelievable on a 'support' forum. As my...
Telling me to grow up doesn't exactly help. I'm 53 and used to be carefree with a job I liked and I loved foreign travel. If I could have changed...
Hi, The last time I wrote here, I had one or two people saying that I should be grateful for the fact that my tinnitus is mild. At the time, I...
I'm currently reading 'Tinnitus. From Tyrant to Friend' by Julian Cowan Hill. Look him up on YouTube. He has a clinic in London and recommends...
Thank you all so much (again).
Don't worry folks. I think it's about time I had some feedback like this to be honest. I'm sure there's no malice intended but I'm an obsessive...
Well I can't say I disagree with the second to last post. Perhaps I deserve it. But we all have different anxiety thresholds and mine is very low....
Hi good folks, I have not posted for a few days but need to now. I have been doing quite well lately considering but I'm now stuck. My T is...
Hi folks. I have been spending far too many hours at my PC and my posture/neck is not good. I'm still not fully habituated to my T after nearly...
Very sorry to hear this Glynis. I fully understand what you are going through having been there myself so recently. Nothing can truly prepare us...
Yes, terrible hyperventilating panic attacks that can last all day.
Wise words as always so thank you. Unfortunately, I'm a reassurance junkie, always needing a fix from time to time. Tonight, my T calmed again...
My God! I've just been cooking and it's louder than ever. What am I going to do????? I'm terrified.
I have tried to avoid writing this for a long time. The fact is that tinnitus has always had suicidal connotations for me. During 2015, I was...
Well I've had a terrible day today. The worst for a long time almost as if I was inviting it when I posted yesterday. I've been panicking all day...
Once again I'm reaching out through this forum for some support. Over the last few weeks, I was making real progress. Some of the components of...
Thanks so much for all the positive vibes. I do appreciate them enormously.
Habituation for me would be as good as a cure really whether it comes and goes or not. I just want to NOT CARE anymore. That's all and yes, accept...
No you're right I didn't think I'd get this far. It's just that I can't seem to finish the race. I thought it was going. It isn't, at least not...
Hi all. I'm back again after a good spell. I need your support once more. Recently, I've been doing really well after last year's breakdown and...
That's a very sad picture Gosia. I hope that's not you.
Hi Gosia, A few weeks ago, I went with a friend to Birmingham (UK) to listen to an American performer called Henry Rollins who tours with a one...
Thank you all. I had a long spell of silence this afternoon while resting so that''s also positive.
Many thanks. I'm not actually dating now but I hope to be at my age (whilst everything still works). That's one reason why I'm getting out again...
Dear people, How is it possible to put T away when you're dating? How can it not ruin dates, eating out (or in) or a sex life during a quiet time...
Wise words as always. Many thanks.
Thank you.
Hello good people, It's been a while since I posted because I've been doing really well and my anxiety levels had dropped considerably. I've been...
Hi Steve. So sorry you're back on the site with fluid in the ears but I'm glad you had a good holiday. Do you really think that the flight home...
Hello all, This is just to wish all of you a great new year or at least a better one than 2015. By New Year's Eve 2016, there will be many more...
I do hope that you get to London and enjoy yourself. You'll be much missed whilst you're away.
Well it may have just been a random slight increase in my T and nothing to do with food intake. Impossible to say. I guess it's the old mantra as...
Hi folks, I was out last night and ate two chocolate biscuits. After about an hour and a half when I was home again, my T seemed to have spiked....
Thanks Michael. My day wasn't as bad as I thought it might be and I had a good night with the masker on throughout. You mention using a radio in...
Yes I did wonder why it was worse in bed rather than anywhere else in the house including the bath. The bathroom is also quiet. Could it be neck...
Dear, kind people. Last night I had my bath and heard very little as usual in this quiet room. I then crossed into my very quiet bedroom which...
Hi people. Another terrible day for me. Absolutely awful. I haven't stopped panicking. Went to bed not too bad but I am still not doing what...
Hi Charron. I have T myself through stress. If I can recommend one person to learn coping strategies from on Youtube, it's Julian Cowan Hill. Just...
