I've been to plenty of festivals and have been fine. They're probably the best way to enjoy music as a T sufferer, as you can always step back from the music. Obviously don't go too close to speakers etc and just be sensible.

Sorry to hear that. I've found to the contrary in clubs etc, people are usually very understanding. In fact, my friends remind me to put them in.

Haha, the doctor told me to take an aspirin and that it may go in a few weeks. TT is probably the best resource you will find. I'd forgotten this, but I also had little pinprick type pains. It was pretty unpleasant, but it gradually eased off. I did hyperbaric oxygen therapy as well, which may...

Where does this 'protocol' come from? Sounds about right though.

I should clarify, it took 4 months to get rid of the full feeling... The ringing is still there, but you know what, it rarely bothers me now.

Hi mate, I have tinnitus from club damage too. It took a good 4 months, possibly more to get rid of it. I also had hypercusis for about the same period of time. I drank a lot of chamomile tea and tried to eat a non-inflammatory diet. No idea if it actually helped, but it's not a bad thing to do...

It's the bliss of being able to put your head to the pillow for 1 maybe 2 nights and hearing nothing but the rustle of your bedsheets. My head feels balanced, the right feels like the left again, I can be normal for a little while. It's good to have a little control again.

I'd just like to echo my agreement here. I've been back out going to pubs, bars and even clubbing. My rule of thumb is if I can't hear someone speaking to me when I'm facing them from a normal distance then the earplugs go in. Bars/pubs are for socialising, so if it's too loud to speak then it's...

@Gon where are you getting the Hbot done? That is seriously cheap.

My T actually virtually disappeared for a month after getting severe flu. I was almost going to write a success story, but it's back now, oh yes.

Yes I have several times and have been absolutely fine. I have noise induced tinnitus btw.

On the contrary, stay in the city. It's the best distraction. I had been wearing earplugs on the tube, but have gradually stopped. I find in zone 3/4 where there is further to go the tubes get louder, Central is fine. Also check out if the window is open on the train, as it's a lot louder then.

I hope so, I've put aside 5 k for something I don't really expect to work..,

That's frustrating, I was hoping I might be able to bypass the trial as I don't fancy taking the risk and getting injected with a saline solution! I am still considering whether I will participate, if I do I'll of course keep everyone updated. Still the positive to draw from this is that if...

Thanks for your detailed posts, always a valuable read. May I ask how the ketamine injections are going? B
