Something is still haywire in my left ear. I'm getting a CT scan of the temporal bone done. I wanted a CT scan done of my TMJ but am unable to find a Dr. to order one.
I just saw the neurologist today. He is now referring me to a surgeon and to an EMG test.
Been a really hard week with a loud spike that seems like it came after the change of wheelbearing on my car. Im also very tensed and i feel abit more sensitive to sounds. Im also VERY tired. on saturday its childbirthday...... Hate those birthdays with 7 hours of intense screaming children running around me......
Had to raise my voice for 2 sentences at the glass screened bank counter. Now i'm left with a painfull left ear.
Haven't posted in a while but want to share this random and unfortunate effect of what I think is from licorice root extract. Started taking a supplement with this in it (dose is up to 350mg) with some other things to help treat gastritis. Ever since starting the supplement four days ago, tinnitus, reactivity, and inner ear vibrations have notably worsened…
Because I couldn't handle the pain and burning sensations I took Tramadol. Of course this doesn't decrease tinnitus but it's been 2 days now and the burning isn't intense as usual. H is also still very bad.
Haven't been here in months! Doing better going on small rd trips listening to music again going out again.
Due to my mental health, I have to start taking the mood stabilizer lamictal/lamotrigine. I'm terrified that it's going to make my T worse. I have a friend who takes it and also has T and said it didn't make it worse, so that's good I guess.
I don't think I can do this 
I left my band today. I had to give up another thing that I loved. Everyone was outraged and no one could understand it. After all, nobody had T. Only me. T takes everything from you. Until there's nothing left of you. Just like listening to music, or sitting in silence. Or sleep.
I wonder if an infected tooth root can cause tinnitus? I just got my left lower molar extracted after a panoramic dental X-ray showed some issues with at least 2 of my teeth.
I made a decision today with a heavy heart. I'm not going to live like this. F*** you "god", or "universe" or whatever it is that has thrown us here into this torturous existence. I'm going to try to last a year, maybe I'll make it to 1.5. If it's not better then, I'm going to kil this useless scrap heap of a body.
Last year I tried launching a Kickstarter, and then a hurricane hit my home and things derailed from there. Now that my business model has changed, I might actually get results. I'm so relieved.
My update; Ear burning getting worse. T fluctuates from pure hell to severe based on Ativan dose.

Hey, I am in klonopin withdrawal, 15 months along. My tinnitus is pretty bad the past few days. I have about 8 tones altogether, but some days are a lot better and I it seems more like 3/4 tones. Hang in there… I have an 8 year old and an 8 month old. You seem really scared.
This current spike is gradually and expertly eroding the layers of psychological defense I built over the last few years. Tinnitus is just Evil. Plain and Simple.
Today starts next taper dose of Ativan. Already in a bad place. I'm nervous.
