Dear all,

I need to go through a medical examination that's necessary - a sigmoidoscopy. I am terrified. To get through it, I consider taking a Xanax, aka Alprazolam before. Do you think one Xanax could worsen my tinnitus? Any advice? Thanks so much!

@Juliane I haven't been well the past few weeks. A couple noise traumas, that really shouldn't have been that bad, have made things worse but I'm trying to push through. I hope you are well.

That sounds really tough @kingsfan :-( You deserve to be happy! You always send out such good vibes here. As for me, life just keeps throwing tough stuff my way :-( I don't get it.
My T has been raging more and more recently. I wake from a short nap and it's all I can hear. I did habituate up to a certain point, but it seems to be getting worse.

Hearing t loud after naps is quite common for ppl with bothersome t. Have you done anything particular lately that could lead up to a spike/setback? Noise / stress / events in your life?
