You are right it was just me being overly paranoid. I am almost back to my baseline. Thank you so much for the feedback.

Hello, About three days ago a 9mm gun discharged about two feet from me. It was an accident and so I wasn't ready. The sound of the gunshot was about a millisecond. It was so fast I didn't have a chance to react. All I heard was a boom then a different ring from my tinnitus for about 2-3...

Thank you for not making me feel alone. To answer Lovelyhead's question. I lose my hearing on my left ear for hours at a time. It made me realize that we also use our hearing to gauge distance and what is next to us. A couple of times I didn't know there was someone standing next to me. One...

Hello All, It's been a while since I posted here. Please excuse my english and my grammar. English is not my first language. Anyhow I just wanted to let you know that while I am 95% habituated I still find myself struggling from time to time. This month will be my two year anniversary with T...

Yes mine would be considered mild as I can only hear it when it is quiet. I am scared that it will get louder and I wouldn't know what to do.

I don't think the Vitamins worked in lessening the volume. But it did help in making me feel better overall. The fasting was great too. Thanks! I know I also have quiet days and loud days but it doesn't affect me. In the beginning I was focusing on the sound as much as possible until I lost...

Oh I forgot to add that in the beginning I played a lot of Lumosity games to keep me distracted. I am now 90% smarter lol! :)

Hi All, Today is my 2nd month anniversary with noise induced Tinnitus. I have to say that I am very much better now. I am 100% not bothered by my T. I now could only hear it when I plug my ears or when I lay my head on the pillow. Before I can hear it in the bedroom but now I have to tell...

It makes mine very much louder.

Hi LadyDi, Sorry to hear that your T got louder. My second session was on Monday. He stuck needles in both my ankles, top of my feet, wrists and one on each ring finger knuckle. My T was not higher nor was it lower. But I do feel relaxed. I don't think it's going to do anything for my T. I'm...

That's the word I was looking for, amplifier. Yes my pillow is an amplifier. Ugh it sucks! I don't like closing the door in my bedroom too. My bedroom turned into this soundproof room that I try to avoid as much as possible. I dread visiting my Mom's house because her house is so quiet. And we...

My acupuncturist said the same thing about not being able to cure it and also that some people have it reduced. I hope we both fall into that category. Erik, Good to know that at least it made you relaxed and sorry to hear it didn't help you out with the T. I'm a bit pessimistic about it but...

Haha... I thought of that too. I actually took my iPhone and recorded my refrigerator humming for 20 minutes. I would play it in the bedroom at night. Ahhhh!... refrigerator hum like heroine for my ears.

Per there is still hope. You and I both got our T in June of this year. That is still too soon to tell if it is permanent. I think there is a possibility that it can go away or get better with time. There is a BIG possibility that in a year from now you will be much better. Oh, I don't let it...
