It seems it's rarely a straight road up.I have had Tinnitus for 21 months.At first I was very anxious,then eventually habituated and life resumed as before,but three weeks ago something changed.It either increased in volume or frequency and my brain started on a mild anxiety track.So it's back...

You must forgive yourself.We all do silly things.Good wishes.

I had quite bad Tinnitus for 21 Months now,and a recent spike has sent me back to amitripyline. After 5 days my T has reduced through the night.I know it's not conclusive,and I will monitor its progress and report back.

Hi Ginger,most of us here have been anxious when they first got tinnitus,and I expect your work mates did as well,but in a short time your brain will start to ignore it.It will still be there,but not triggering you're emotions,good luck malcolm

Hi,how are coping at present?

My doctor was right,he said "learn to live with it".I thought he was an arsehole at the time.He was for not saying"however"

Thank you all for your support,I get renewed inspiration each time I come on here.I went to see Crystal Palace play Arsenal yesterday,but had to come out before it started,but I felt ok because i was free to walk,not all have that facility.Today i,m cycling along the South Downs,so lucky,regards...

Thank you for your advise,do you think an increased volume can be habituated,as the initial one was?

My Tinnitus began in March this year,I freaked out,visited 4 doctors,told to live with it,took 4drugs,then slowly habituated,got off the tablets,and became bullish about T.But surprise,surprise,it upped its game,and now I,m learning again how to accept the new noise.Its nowhere near as difficult...

Hi,you won't calm down at the start,so see your doctor for tablets to help with sleeping and anxiety.You will calm down over the next few weeks,you will then be on a journey to live with it.I know it seems unfair,but it will get easier.

Tinnitus does not play by any known rules.

Hi,everyone finds it horrible at the start,but time will settle you done?With proper sleep,and maybe some meds.to get you through the early,anxious days,you will be fine.At 5 weeks I was in a mess,but now after 3months I,m on a different level.You can be too.Keep positive.

This is one method that could be tried:D Don,t mask it,accept it,make it your mantra during meditation,let it become your new silence,love it.Don't worry about that,that cannot be controlled.Try this method for enough time.I,ve done this at long last,and at present I,m relaxed about it.It can go...

I agree completely with this statement.

That is almost the most positive post I,ve read on here.
