It is somewhat natural after you take out your devices for your T to be more noticeable or louder. While doing TRT I wore my devices all day, then took them out at night, then used a brookstone sound machine at night, sound pillow is probably another great option. If you are getting some relief...

I just read a few of your post, but looking at them I would find a qualified TRT professional and start TRT as soon as possible. I would also try and find a good psychiatrist and also a good therapist and stay in close contact with your primary care provider. You are going to need as much help...

Yes, tinnitus can absolutely be very destructive, disabling. Yes, tinnitus can be lived with successfully and not have any impact on quality of life and there is also everything in between those two points. Just some rough figures, about 20% of general population has tinnitus, about 60 million...

So I was made aware that Pastor Craig Groeschel of the Oklahoma based church called LifeChurch mentioned tinnitus during his sermon entitled Break Me. He mentions it about half way through the sermon, one of his friends has developed severe tinnitus and is suffering and he discuss it for a short...

congrats to whoever was involved in getting this manuscript brought to life. Very strong work, I am very impressed, this is real progress.

Yes, I have heard of people that have been put on disability for tinnitus. It would take some kind of medical exam,etc I am sure.

I don't post often anymore as I am going through TRT myself and staying off the internet boards is part of therapy, (not devoting any extra time to T,) but I am not always the perfect patient. I do keep an eye on things on the site because I really think it is great site and has really helped me...

This does give some Hope.

I try to tell myself that tomorrow will be a better day, or that my brain will eventually harden to this sound, or that a pill for Tinnitus is just around the corner.

I am having a terrible spike today, T has been bad all week but I have been dealing with it, have been couped up in the house all day by myself today all day because of bad weather with just me and my T and it is really starting to kick my ass, just waiting for 1.5 more hours until my fiance...

I have several pair, they are pretty good and affordable.

Day 8 on Zoloft 25 mg, my tinnitus is definitely more intense on Zoloft, I am hopefully it will eventually calm down. Zoloft really helped me before tinnitus so I am going to try and tuff this out. Day 8 was tuff!

Today is day 5 on Zoloft 25 mg, I will keep going regardless, I made it through day 4 and I really need to get back on this medication. It may flareup things for a while but if I can get through them I am hopeful the end reward will be worth it.

I have had the same thoughts, it seems to be worse for everyone this time of year, hang in there derpytia, this sucks so bad but you are not alone.

I did try lexapro, it did the same thing for me, I made it a total of 12 days on lexapro, really flared up T and anxiety. I am probably going to have to take more time off work, and just power through on one of these until they kick in. Its my best chance at getting my life back, have literally...
