    Definitely Getting Better

    @John Meyers that's kind of rude don't you think? Having T for "x" amount of time doesn't entitle anyone to give advice. But learning to overcome T (whatever the given amount of time you've had it for) certainly entitles you to help others who have not overcome it. Especially those coming to...

    My Success Story/Tips for Success

    @barbb yes, definitely. My old noise is pretty stable, but as my anxiety has decreased my new sound gets very low during the day. Sometimes it may not even be there at all. Honestly at this point I am not trying to listen to it so I don't know if it's there or not! But, it's definitely...

    My Success Story/Tips for Success

    @barbb well that's a good start! I would often play them again through out the night when I would wake up and start worrying about T. It was so hard to sleep through the night at first. Now if I wake up in the middle of the night T doesn't usually even cross my mind. My T is 10 times worse at...

    My Success Story/Tips for Success

    @barbb i make the app loop so it does the hypnosis part two times and then it plays the music for 8 hours. I slept longer than eight hours so by the time I woke up it was off.

    My Success Story/Tips for Success

    @barbb lol I was thinking you meant that :) I usually always have the tv on at home, but I did that before T, too. However, I just got home from The grocery store and spent what seemed like forever putting away groceries in my quiet house. Didn't hear my T once. This morning when I woke up my...

    My Success Story/Tips for Success

    @barbb that's so awesome! I swear those apps are like magic sleep pills. Mine always seems to quiet down when I workout too. The loudness of mine varied GREATLY and still does. But because I'm not focused on it, even when it is loud I don't notice it as much. That's the thing about T, it's...

    My Success Story/Tips for Success

    @valeri youre welcome! I did a session every other week. I started a couple months ago. Honestly, I have no idea if it helped anxiety and/or tinnitus. But both improved! Yes, that's the app! The one you pay for has more options... You don't have to listen to the instructions every time, you...

    My Success Story/Tips for Success

    @Barb I don't use headphones at the gym. I think it is fine to use them at very low volume, I just choose not to. As far as thinking of the sound as neutral/background sound- you are in luck! Your brain already has the ability to do this, and you already do it all the time without even...
