I wasn’t sure whether to post this story in success stories of within treatments but I feel that this post is best placed here. It’s been a while since I have posted in this forum. I first came across Tinnitus Talk just over 5 years ago when I was struggling to come to terms with the sudden...

Hi All, Just checking in to post my annual update. This forum really helped me when I first got Tinnitus and Hearing Loss so I just wanted to keep you all updated on my progress and to clarify that this is something you can live with. It may not seem like it when you are first diagnosed but...

Happy new year to everyone. I hope 2016 is a good year for you all :)

Maybe you could write a post about your severe T @Telis? Explain to others what it feels like for you and people may ask for your advice on ow you deal with such intrusive horrible T As I said I didn't want to offend anyone just offering hope to those T suffers that believe they will Habituate...

I'm sorry my analogy has offended anyone. My T is far from mild mine is also like a jet engine, boiling kettle and screaming child all in one! I had suicidal thoughts the first few months of my T but have been lucky enough to Habituate to the sound. Don't get me wrong I still hear it but it...

@Blujay I can see your point about the pebbles in the socks for the process of Habituating but for me now that I have habituated I do feel that my T is comfortable hence the sock analogy. I know everyone is different this is just my perception of it. It may give some people hope that they will...
