Back in the UK after a bereavement, still trying to deny the sound in my ears. SEAsia was incredible.

Thank you for your reply @Lorenzo74 It's been four months and it hasn't really altered yet. Luckily I've had a full time job to keep my brain occupied during the day time. I think you are definitely right in that grief makes you emotionally weaker and therefore that is bound to have an effect...

My mother has it. She got it when she was 25. I got it the same age... coincidence? perhaps. But I believe that it is genetically passed on.

Hello everyone, :) I have been a member of Tinnitus Talk for around 19 months. When I first came here, I was very new to Tinnitus. Since then, I have learnt to cope with it and been teaching and traveling abroad. I wrote a post just after I left the UK about how I had learnt to habituate with...

Hi Dylan! I'm 24 and have had tinnitus for nearly a year now. So I'm rather jealous you got six more years over me... ha ha I joke...;) I habituated to it quite quickly, but that's because I knew I didn't have a choice if I were to still keep my life in order and do everything I wanted to do...

Hi everyone! So, I came to this site about 6 weeks ago in desperation, to seek some advice on that dreaded ringing in my ears that we all know about. At the time, I was due to go travelling around Asia and teach english in Thailand. I thought I'd write this post for anyone out there who needs...

I just bought these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0034ZI9AQ/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Amazing blockage yet you can still hear the music around you. They erase the awful tinny feedback that will make your ears hurt and hearing deteriorate. Emmy

Can't beat a good Gin & Tonic with ice and lime. Mmm....

Hello @Puddytat :welcomesignanimation: I am sorry to hear you are struggling with T... My mum also lives on her own and suffers from the dreaded noise. I have also recently become a victim of T as well (nearly 2 weeks). Try to keep your mind occupied - (I know, it sounds so easy when it's...

Spiders.......absolutely terrified of them. Even the little ones....!! :cry:
