@Mick007 I am not sure if this is the case for you, but I have heard from some other meditation practitioners who actually got their T from meditating. I think in Buddhism there is even an own word for this phenomenon. So there seems to be a link between those two. However if you first noticed...

Thanks for your messages.. it's a bit better now again, guess I just really freaked out when I realized I am having this for a year now and by every definition now it's definitely chronic. So yeah.. it's just hard to see a future with this. But I try to fight as much as I can. @Marie79 thanks...

Since Trump seems to be a personality that mostly cares about himself, why can't we just give him Tinnitus and I bet he won't care about the money for the wall in Mexico anymore too much. :p

Thanks guys. I really, really hope that it will settle again.. it's just not true to say volume doesn't matter and it's only perception. At least for me it does. This new level scares me way more than the old one, but the problem is it was another noise incident so I fear it won't go back to the...

Honestly guys, I am freaking out!! I am having this now for one year and I feel beyond terrible. I think I am having a panic attack right now, I am just so, so scared that this is staying now for the rest of my life. I am so sad, I don't know how to handle this amount of pain every day. I want...

that's my concern as well... that I will make it worse in the long run.. in another thread it was mentioned to try the enzyme which makes GABA in the brain (pyridoxal-5-phosphate dependent, activated B6) What would you think of this approach?

@Pleasure_Paulie thanks for your reply! I really did not want to go the benzo route, but currently I see no other way. My doctor did not want to prescribe it to me either.. and I really get why, but it's just the only thing that seems to help a bit. Do you use it only once a while in order to...

Hey Barry! I read that you have tried the Mutebutton device.. could you tell me about your experience with this? Thanks a lot :)

I read for sure that this is the case for some people. I also feel that one beer makes it actually better. I also heard of Campral, but have not tried it so far. I think they did another trial where the results were way more negative, If I recall correctly. However I think that there is a link...

What about toxicity, when using Klonopin on and off "as needed"? Like when you are only using it twice a week you cannot really taper up/down.. so I wonder if this would lead to toxicity then?? It would be very nice to have something that gives a bit relief on a bad day though.. oh damn, I am so...

That approach seems very interesting and less dangerous than taking a benzo.. I would be very interested about your progress in this! Thank you for your detailed posts, they are really helpful! :)

Hi Eazy, I know it's hard to get something like this with young age.. and feeling like you are missing out on things. But since you have T for only two weeks there really might be a chance for it going away. I would avoid loud noises for a while in order to increase this chance.. you don't...

I was wondering if a botox injection of the afferent axons would have this effect.. but no idea how you would find out where the afferent axons from the IHC at 10,4 khz go along..

This seems in deed quite logical. Did you do a high-frequency hearing test? If so, I don't get how the ENT could not see this.. Do you think that by restoring the balance, through numbing of the IHC, the T would theoretically go away?

I think it's not fleeting T, but temporary T after noise exposure (from flying the airplane).. and they found that those pilots, who developed temporary T and thus were seemingly more prone to developing the condition have lower values in their DPOAEs. But unfortunately I don't have full access...
