Hmm, it's the diseases accumulated battle? Let me present you me: Hyperacusis + Tinnitus + TMJ(right side) + Scalp dysesthesia(burning scalp yay!) + Cholinergic urticaria(extremely painful reaction to phyisical activity and emotional stress) + Shoulder impingement

I have started taking better care of myself, my body and mind, and everything becomes almost too easy with my new improved perspective. "Lifting this 200 lbs weight? Pssht, that's easy I have dealt with tinnitus!" Washing the dishes, which previously caused me headaches, I now do with a smile...

Yeah, people working in the medical community are not only there to mend your body but also help ease your pain, which also correlates to you getting better physically. Sadly, this sentiment is lost on many people working there. There are the good few though. Now with the habituation part. If...

It took 3 months. Now I only hear it in absolute silence and when I want to.

I began by putting a set of speakers in my room where I could not locate them visually, as to not perceptually locate the source of the noise, and had them on with pink noise through out most the day. This trick I discovered was really interesting, because instead of having a pair of headphones...

Had the same experience when I had my first hearing test. After the test I told the guy that was administrating it “I may have a bit of a problem hearing the lowest frequencies because they are masked by my tinnitus” His response? “Yeah, tinnitus is incurable and it may lead to depression and...

Hi Jack! In regards to tinnitus, sometimes it is not necessarily noise induced. There are plenty of other causes for it, which I think are far too many to mention here(you can always look it up). What I can tell you however is that the ears work like muscles. You are used to using your...

I have the opposite of everyone here, my tinnitus actually decreases after a good night sleep(to the point where I think it's gone). Weird huh.

Shugs! You can always search online for them, there are other companies that might ship to your country within europe(I haven't looked extensively).

@Stina Sure Stina! I ordered mine from Amazon(got them shipped all the way to Sweden). http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E2D9FHA/?tag=tinntalk-20

Hey Redthinker! Good for you, go out there, explore the world damnit! :) I have been through a lot of earplugs, the ones I like the absolutely most, and that I am wearing today, are these babies(size small): They are really practically invisible. Nobody in my circle of friends has even...

@Dr. Nagler First and foremost I want to thank you for your participation in such an important field. I do have an inquiry though. I would like to understand the deeper meaning, which perhaps is a semantic one, of the word “habituation”. As I understand it, the word means to decrease or cease...

@JTP Well, my hyperacusis has in fact gotten better and will hopefully disappear in the near future! No, I encourage everyone to talk about the "it will get better"-part as well, not just the "I am forever sad"-part. Even if it's a personal experience. It helps people to see a light in the midst...

It totally depends on the your source of tinnitus. For me, I do not have spikes in loud environments at all. The problem I have is Hyperacusis which a lot of Tinnitus sufferers also have. You can understand the hell that is. You want to be in a quite environment? The T will kill you You want...

As I climb my insurmountable mountain yearning for greater heights and fresher air, as a lot of you are, I can not but be reminiscent of the great poet Tagore's mysterious words “In the mountain, stillness surges up to explore its own height. In the lake, movement stands still to contemplate its...
