@fixedgear808 It was inevitable that the Tinnitus Terminator websites would finally go offline. I'm so glad that people will not be lured in any longer for this bogus 'cure'.

Welcome! It sounds as if you are exploring a lot of possibilities for helping your T. Be sure to keep us informed of any treatment that has positively influenced your condition. I have reactive T with hearing loss in both ears and it has been a difficult journey. In case you are unfamiliar...

@Barliman I'd sure call it a scam based on my personal experience with it. Granted, I didn't use it for a year but after a few weeks I could tell it wasn't going to work. You would think that on this site there would be at least one person who posted that it does what it describes it will...

@al3xisnic0le Mine never went away. I've learned to deal with it but am not able to socialize as much as is so stressful trying to decipher speech but I force myself to interact because being around people is part of my self prescribed mental health program. For me, isolation is not good as...

@Fabio Moraes Your advice is spot on. Some days I just want to be alone and not have any interaction with people as it is so challenging to understand speech and the T gets louder with any noise at all. However, I realized that a part of my mental health in dealing with this condition is to be...

I do miss music a lot. I think music can connect us to others and is just plain fun to listen to. It is now just gibberish and hurts my ears so haven't listened to anything since 2008. I have learned to ignore my T when on walks in nature but at the beginning it was very hard to ignore the...

@kioakviz It's funny you should ask about remembering silence. I've had reactive tinnitus with hearing loss since 2008 and every morning I have about 3 seconds between being asleep and being awake that it is silent. It used to make me sad because I was focused on how life used to be but now...

@serendipity1996 I liked your description "brain is always straining and labouring". Right now its so bad I can't think of being around people as it makes me so edgy I'd have a meltdown. Does yours come and go or is it constant? Does your T get louder or remain the same?

@Telis Have you found anything to help with the pressure? I'm going a bit crazy right now because I had been doing fairly well living with reactive T, and HL, and the head pressure was only occasional so I had coping skills I had developed. It seems now that the pressure is almost daily and...

Glynis, We're all in this together so let all this positive support help you to know you're not alone and we're all rooting for you.

@Bumps You can read my earlier posts concerning TT. Long story short . . .don't waste your money. I ordered it, did the program, no difference in my tinnitus. They don't (won't) send you a CD, its all downloaded to your computer so there is no cost to return the item. I had a real hassle...

Well, I agree for the most part with this advice but you have to realize that tinnitus can range from mild to unbearable. I doubt any doctor would say "learn to live with it" if his patient was exhibiting signs of extreme anxiety, depression, or thoughts of suicide. I have reactive tinnitus...

@MerkinBill I think there will always be individuals who will prey on people who are desperate. I know when I'm having a really bad day it affects my internal 'scam meter' and I start thinking, "well maybe this will work and it sounds like a good rap, etc., etc. I fell for the Tinnitus...

@EricB It's a waste of time to have anything to do with Tinnitus Terminator. My personal opinion is that its a scam. I tried it and no change at all. It took me awhile but I finally got my money back. Read my post on page 3 of this forum. The My Noise site is exceptional and you can...

I have the same tingling feeling which can extend all the way down to my feet at times. I think it may be nerve entrapment or impingement so tomorrow I go in for my first osteopathic treatment. I've tried a chiropractor, but the treatment didn't change anything. I stayed with it for a couple...
