    I'm planning on putting together a video of sorts on my tinnitus experience, I will post it here when I do. Nobody can guarantee that your tinnitus gets better, but it honestly can. I pray we one day have better treatments for this than hearing aids and masking sound pillows. Until such time...

    There's a world of difference between dealing with light hissing and the cacophony of signals that were raging at me in 2018/2019. I remember sitting in a quiet meeting room with colleagues and I could hear an undulating alarm-style sound over their discussion. I thought "I can't possibly live...

    When I first posted here, the BTA had a line on their website that said there wasn't a strong correlation between tinnitus symptoms and the reaction to it. Utter, utter lies.

    I'm planning on putting together a video of sorts on my tinnitus experience, I will post it here when I do. Nobody could habituate to the horrible tinnitus I had at the start and it's beyond patronising that the healthcare providers - ENT and NHS audiologist - thought that was a reasonable ask.

    Hello there, it's been a while since you posted and it's been a while since I logged in. My tinnitus has gotten much better in the 4 years since it first developed. I would say I'm habituated at this stage, but I would also say that's been largely due to the improvement of symptoms.

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    Mirtazapine/Remeron. 30mg. It did come with a warning about how this should not be given to people who have suicidal thoughts, but it's not an SSRI. About a stone. It's affected my hunger more than anything. I can go from finishing a meal and feeling stuffed to feeling very hungry quite...

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    Nice to see you, too, Tanni. I don't check the site every day anymore, but I do check every now and then. I'm anticipating a spike of some sort, or general heightening. But I'm also looking forward to having my diet and hunger more under control.

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    My tinnitus is more stable now. It's hard for me to articulate, but it's not wildly fluctuating like last year. Sitting in meetings with essentially the undulating sound of an ambulance was very tough to cope with. It's still there though. I think the drug had some effect, but not sure. They...

    Hi girl. Yes, I am. I'd like to taper off now, but I have enough for another 6 months.

    Good question. I think Lenire has helped, but it truly is hard to say how much. I have made massive lifestyle changes in the last 14 months, I've not been to a concert or nightclub in that time and I muff up in the gym.

    I haven't used Lenire since Christmas though, it's so draining. The thing is so dull to listen to and I've moved offices, so I can't do it at work.

    Hi, Bauer of Power. I'm actually getting much better. I now have what I would consider mild tinnitus, 3/10.

    Get one of these to deal with the costochondritis. Seriously. Use this daily for about 2-3 months.
