The event was fantastic, the speakers were really good and the Mindfulness session by Dr. Laurence McKenna was a particular highlight. Really appreciative of the BTA to bring this event to Aberdeen and give us this opportunity.

Yeah alright, in the beginning it was torture and I thought it was the end of the world. But gradually I got used to it, my brain sorta tuned it out but it still drives me crazy when I'm trying to sleep or focus at work. My worry is that it gets worse, I'm only 26 so it has plenty of time to get...

Haha yeah it's really good they're coming up here! Should be a good turnout in that case. It was actually my girlfriend that noticed it was on so we're heading over next week!

The BTA will be bringing the next in their series of FREE one day Regional Tinnitus Information Days to Aberdeen on 7 May 2016 If like myself, anyone on this forum lives in Aberdeen (Scotland, U.K) or is within close enough travelling distance to come along the BTA is holding an event on...

It's funny you should mention this because a couple of weeks before my tinnitus started I had pain in my wisdom teeth.......

Wow! Your situation almost completely mirrors my one! Get everything checked out to be safe. My doctor keeps telling me it is withdrawal from the Prozac and it is a common side effect, I hope this is what it is in your case. :)

Yeah I've got the hissing sound too.......... I've got three sounds: hissing, the "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" that sound like electical distortion and if it's very quiet I hear a "whoomp, whoomp, whoomp" sound all at the same time.

My friend and I have a film company. Filmmaking is our passion in life! We used to make films and enter them into film festivals which was great fun! He knows I have Tinnitus and his father also has had it for as long as he can remember so he understands. We used to specifically pick serene...

Yeah my heart sank a bit at that too. Imagine if they discovered a treatment or cure for Tinnitus and it could cure many people's type of tinnitus but couldn't help your own type. You'd be gutted. But we have to be optimistic, there's not much point in being anything else ;)

Did my first session of this today. I've had tinnitus for over 5 weeks. Was incredibly painful in my right ear to begin with (the ear with the worse tinnitus) but after a while it was okay. I 'popped' my ears and the sounds i heard in the right ear were incredible, it sounded like a washing...

Hmm Julich, Germany is where that neuromodulation device for Tinnitus is from......could the research be linked?

Everyday I wake up and with this high frequency screech in my ear I think to myself, we're another day closer to something happening. Whether it's a cure, treatment, understanding or breakthrough. When I first started getting this I thought "Right, what can I do?" because I hate the idea of...

I totally agree with this! Silly, little petty things don't annoy me anymore....I've developed a "So what?" attitude to them. Also if my tinnitus went away, or even became less intense it would be the best feeling ever! :)
