I would agree it's like PTSD. For me I had a fear for anything that might be loud and I would over react to any thud or bang. Fireworks/concerts...

Logged back in for the first time in ages to pay my respects. When I found out Danny had passed my heart dropped. I haven't really talked to him...

Approaching 3 years... Finally overcome most of my fears (flying, headphones, etc) but still fear loud places. Ears still a buzzing. :/

Hoping it fixes itself is all you can do. The best thing to do is to start doing everything you can to ignore the sound as soon as you can. The...

I can't say if it will go away or not. But based onyou not noticing it till you put your ear down to a pillow means your t is pretty low and easy...

So far the best method, for me at least, is to do anything and everything I could to not give it any attention. Mine has gone from covering up...

Best advise I can give is to do your best to stop mentally monitoring the noise and not let it interior your thoughts. During my first few months...

My advise is to just move on. Do everything you can to keep your mind busy. The first few months for me were pure hell (I thought I was gonna...

I also suffer from T due to a few gunshots. It was very maddening during the beginning but it will get better. Most important thing I recommend is...

I have never heard mine in my dreams, but again, I can rarely ever remember them. But those that I have remembered, I dont recall hearing T.

The first 3 months are the worst, at least they were for me. I had panic attacks almost daily for the first 2 months and the 3rd month I started...

The new year has come and gone and I rang in the new year (bad pun... Bad.) I still feel like I'm improving and noticing the t less often and I'm...

Today, I overcame one of my fears caused by T. I no longer fear movie theaters :) Now onto my fear of headphones... Star Wars 7 is great.

Stay strong my friends, never lose hope! :)

2 months since last update. T is still there, panic attacks are long gone. Life is 95% back to normal. Pretty sure the last 5% will barely change...

Habituated for the most part, but still annoyed every time I stop doing something T immediately takes over my thoughts :/

How long does 1 gram usually last?

My ears feel like they have stabalised when it comes to popping.most of the time they are popping like they have the rest of my life so its not as...

-6 Month Update Just wanted to post an update now that I've reached my 6 month anniversary. The T is still there, but I can argue that I am doing...

My T is now directly linked to the amount of attention I give it. Only hear it when I think about it, which is sadly a bad habit. Progress!

When im surrounded by family my T is quiet. When im on my own the T screams. Life is trying to tell me something.

In the beginning I used to use masking noises to help me sleep, over time I have been able to learn not to use them. It's important to try not to...

Welcome to TT, I want you to know that all will be fine, it is just going to take some time. The first few days/weeks are the toughest of this...

I think I lost a little hearing. My ears definitely feel weird compared to what they used to. One pops more than the other.

Those masks wont do anything for the ears though, thats just for breathing. There is not as much pressure on our ears at higher altitude so thats...

Give your life a purpose. I attribute me surviving my onset due to finding a purpose worth living for, even if I suffered in the process.

Bear mace is pretty effective. I'm in the same boat with the gun.

I'm not giving up! I'm too stubborn for that.

I second Eldudebro, its very important to calm down. The panicking is whats causing the negative thoughts of "not able to do this". As ive said...

When will it end? I know mine is mild but the lack of being able to relax in a quiet room is driving me nuts :/

T disappearing at all is a good sign in general :)

@Romain B. I was going to enroll into AM101 but backed out last minute before every getting any shots. I was to afraid that it wouldnt work and...

You are not alone with the doctors. Many people here myself included have been brushed off by doctors. My first doctor googled everything as well...

Not any better than its gone for anyone else here. They told me I looked fine,and that I could try some "tinnitus reliefe" regimen (essentially...

For me, things changed a lot starting off. But like Nucleo said, T is different for everyone so its hard to say. But in many cases it does get better.

During my first 2 months the sounds would be unrelenting and I could hear a variety of pitches. Mostly tonal but i had so many tones mixing...

I just dropped from my local Am101 Study, was supposed to go into the pre screening tomorrow. Hope it was the right choice, just dont want to risk...

Just dropped myself from the AM101 study the day before my initial screening.. Hope it was the right choice.

Q-Tips are a no no, big NONO. I would have an ENT clean the ears personally. CBT / Mindfulness is just teaching yourself how to ignore it. Ear...

I can tell you that you should pursue your dreams, and should you need any help getting through any spikes that may happen, you can count on the...

Yea, seems to make T quieter for me as well. I can plug my ears and its noticeably quieter for a few seconds (slowly builds up to baseline if i...

Using it currently :D

How did I not find this sooner? This makes the T sooooo much less noticeable, at least while its playing.

I'm in the same boat recently where I'm doubting that I will go forward with the shots and afraid the shots will make the T worse. I've already...

Is that due to Habituation, or did the volume actually lower?

Ya, I would consider my current T mild compared to what some others report having. Seems to get a bit lower/more bearable every other day or two.

Have to agree, depends on the severity. How it was on onset, would've done almost anything to make it stop. Now im perfectly fine waiting for a...

Was too tired to elaborate before plus was on my phone. Got it for $20 due to some promotion they had last year, had gotten it for PC from amazon...

No, ps4

I have ESO as well, since I could get it for $20 figured why not. Definitely better played with friends.

Since April 4th. I think its getting better but it may just be my mental perception.

Step 1, calm down. If it went away once, it should go away again, based on your post its in the process currently. If I were you I would stop...
