    Firetruck Siren

    Not great on decibels but I think it's a good sign that nothing has happened to your T. I would forget about it as sounds like it didn't do any further damage

    Is Anyone Else's Tinnitus All Over Their Head and Scalp?

    I was on the 10 mg pain killing dose on amitryptilyne for 12 years and got T . I have other reasons as well but will never really know the true cause. I regret the day I ever started taking it just incase it was a factor. Drs and dentists ruined my health

    Sudden Increase

    It probably the fact that it is different that is making you panic, I'd you got on with multi tones in both ears one tip one in one ear should be a similar habituation process - I think it is just the chase that is spooking you. Your current T sounds like mine which I admitt is truly horrible...

    Is It Me, or Is It Me? Tinnitus Seems More Intense, Not Sure If It's Actually Louder

    Maybe it is just anxiety that is making it seem more intense. Sounds like you were habituation well, it's natural to panic I do as I have loud intrusive hissing that I monitor all the time and am not habituated to. Maybe stay off forums and just carry on the way you were as it sounds like you...

    Can the Menopause Cause Tinnitus?

    Unlikely I would have thought as most 50 plus women would have it, of course it's impossible to rule everything out and maybe if you had a huge drop in hormones it might have but general hormone decline is gradual over 7 or 8 years. I trust it isn't the loud invasive kind and it's something you...

    What's Worse... Getting Teeth Pulled Out or the Dental Drill?

    Associated Symptoms

    Yes I have loads of other things with the onset of T. I've a few choices for getting it metal poisoning and brain/ Head injury due to fall are current favourites.

    Tinnitus Is Driving Me Mad

    I don't think you will die from tinnitus although it is a truly terrible noise, well mine is. But you need to follow the advice in the post that Telis has put up, he has the same loud intrusive things we do. I am still on my journey but find the things he posts makes sense. All I do is listen...

    Levetiracetam (Keppra) Worked for My Hyperacusis

    Bearing in mind I have been on 10 mg pain killing dose of amityptilyne for 12 years and zopiclone for 6 before my nightmare T&H started. I would now love to come of these but I haven't got a clue where to start and am also worried that having used them long term stopping may actually make...

    Temazepam Helps My Tinnitus

    I don't think it makes it go, just makes your perception of it less, so it will still be there when you stop taking the meds.

    Which Is Safer? A Few Drinks a Day or Taking ADs, Benzos or Other Mind-Altering Chemicals?

    I see your point. To be honest I have a big problem with modern medicines quest for longevity. All I see is people living their last 20 years with ill health instaed of their last 10. Westerners often living to 90 rather than 80 but with no quality of life. Really my health deserted me at...

    Almost Went to the Psych Ward :(

    Sorry to read this I am new here but have had T & H for six months I haven't habituated yet and don't know if I ever will as mind is screaming loud and my gut feeling is it is harder to habituate to loud T. But what I wanted to say is that if you managed to habituate once from all that I have...
