    Mate it was a joke. Of course that’s not why they employed him.

    Extreme Fatigue After My Tinnitus Started

    I would imagine almost all of people who have this constant and severe. It’s almost a given. Before tinnitus I never had a bad night’s sleep in my life. I could sleep standing up. Now I wake up ten times a night. Everyday I feel like a zombie and it’s getting worse. A few months ago I was just...

    Hopefully a load of insight from Minnesota. More likely just the fact that he’s American rather than Irish and they can send him on stage at these conferences and people can actually understand what he’s saying.

    I concur. I suspect that they will not risk releasing this on the U.K. and Ireland market before release in America in case it garners a glut of negative reviews on all the tinnitus forums and puts off potentially millions of buyers in America. If this is the case it raises a serious red flag...

    Masking Definitely Makes My Tinnitus Worse but Not Masking Is a Torture

    I think it’s just very hard for those of us really struggling to think that a device exists that may save us and it’s out of reach. It’s almost agonising and has definitely increased my suicidal ideation. I just wish they had said look it’s going to be 2020 and so mentally we didn’t get our...

    Don’t take that shit ever again Al. Start exercising and eating well. Take advantage of being one step ahead of this motherf***er and stamp on its bloody head now.

    Masking Definitely Makes My Tinnitus Worse but Not Masking Is a Torture

    Shit bud. It’s a tough slog huh? Living in constant broken sleep and trying to keep positive every day to make it to......another day of the same. Does it get tougher than this? I really don’t think it does. You’ve done so well to keep upbeat. The depression of this is dragging me to the floor...

    For One Beautiful Day I Had Silence

    Yeah I’ve exhausted my Guantinnitus bay creation and I’ve noticed other users coining it so I’ve got to keep ahead of the game creatively!

    Masking Definitely Makes My Tinnitus Worse but Not Masking Is a Torture

    I agree. I need to try and get back to this. I’m addicted to jungle sounds. I just cannot bear the silence of the bedroom without them. But they’re definitely digging my hole deeper.

    Something tells me that Allan is enjoying work and his T has gone. He’s left us all behind and who can bloody blame him. Congrats Allan. You’ve escaped from Tinnitraz.

    Masking Definitely Makes My Tinnitus Worse but Not Masking Is a Torture

    I have had a few nights in the past where I fell asleep with the BBC world service on and didn’t switch on the masking. But my T has been worsening the last few months with increased intensity and another sound in my better ear, and now I have no choice but to use loud cicada sounds to drop off...

    Not a chance. They are a money making enterprise who will do everything in their power to line their and their audiologist partners pockets. Helping our tinnitus is secondary to that. ....That said I personally believe they’re overstressing the importance of your hearing profile and it’s worth...

    This Time I Think I Will Commit Suicide — I Was Habituated, Now After Cold My Tinnitus Is Worse

    That’s not a given for all of us I’m afraid. My family have completely given up on me and I lost my partner of over a decade after just a few months of this. Friends pretty much all gone too. Just me and the dog now. I understand. I’ve been altered irrevocably by this. I’m not the person they...

    Masking Definitely Makes My Tinnitus Worse but Not Masking Is a Torture

    And you can’t blame them. Not in a million years did I think this would happen to me. I felt almost invincible before I woke up with this and now I feel like I’m flirting with death every single day. As you quite rightly said it’s like we’re sloshing around in a pile of inescapable shit staring...

    I believe it’s an angry feminists way of calling out a man who is merely trying to explain something to her....I may be wrong in which case I would happily have a nice woman womansplain it to me. How’s your tinnitus today Al?
