Hi. Ive never done a forum before. Ive had tinnitus since 2006. At that time I was diagnosed with acute labyrinthitis.... and I was unable to work for about 4 months.... which was very hard bc I am both self employed and a single mother.... thank God for family. At that time I suffered from anxiety and veritgo terribly. Today all that remains is the tinnitus. I have read a lot on this post the past couple of days.... it really is great. Im going to get some Mg today.... and yes I think the more you think of it the more prominent it becomes.
I found this site....www.Audionotch.com. I am trying it. If anyone else does... let me know your thoughts!
I'm not a person of fancy or many words. I think that tinnitus is a symptom of some sort of overstimulation. Its like a lot of the research I read on here... either inhibitory pathways are faulty or perhaps receptors overfiring... whichever, the overstimulation of primitive brain areas produces heightened responses..... probably why tinnitus sufferers get anxiety.... part and parcel of the overstimulation. I don't persnally think the tinnitus causes the anxiety or vice versa. At least the research seems to be pointing this way.... when I first got this in 2006 I was told I was having an abnormal response to hearing loss, then I was told I had menieres.... I settled on their dx of viral labyrinthitis (2006) and I believe my residual symptoms are due to the damage it created.... and now I need to rewire...lol!!!! I hope it happens soon.... for all of us. This thing saps the joy from life....if you let it.
