Hello everyone, I wanted to check back in and see how everyone is doing, to wish everyone a happy post thanksgiving and get any updates on their tinnitus journey. I check this blog from time to time and felt it was necessary to come back and expand on what's going on with me since my last...

Hi @grotulon, apologies for the delayed response. Yes, my tinnitus is almost fully recovered from my 2nd bout with tinnitus that began mid last year. I would say as of right now, it's about 98% healed. The remaining 2% is intermittent tinnitus that I only experience sometimes via strenuous...

The nature of tinnitus is poorly understood, but from what you mentioned (the erratic behavior, spontaneity, intermittent sounds, sensitivity to specific types of sounds) is something I also went through when I had T for about a year. Good thing your health care provider put you on a...

Hi @Dori @billie48 is correct. You can use those websites provided or another option is to search on youtube for "white noise" videos. Some of the ones I've encountered run for 6+ hours continuously. Have you tried sleeping with a fan on? Or maybe even sleeping with your window open (so you...

Hey @NimQ warm welcome to you for joining this forum! Anyway, I see your tinnitus was noise-induced. I STRONGLY recommend you don't go to any loud venues in the long-term whether or not you have ear protection. Even with ear protections, your ears have already been damaged that it won't take...

@Tom Cnyc So ecstatic and thrilled to hear your T has in fact began to decrease in volume and duration. Like I mentioned during my initial postings here on tinnitustalk.com, I do feel that for certain types of tinnitus (noise-induced in particular) I really believe we can make the most of it...

@Vinnitus Hey dude. The person I spoke to also had a post here on tinnitustalk.com I think back in September of this year. Nobody responded to his thread so I did and also private messaged him. To be honest, I didn't think much of it because I felt like the person would not respond or had left...

@PrizeFighter23 @John Meyers @Vinnitus @Path Maker @Tom Cnyc and everyone else. Has anybody had an gains or loses in your recovery for T these past few months? Any positive or negative feedback you would like to share? Please update and share if you have any news. I have recently spoken to...

Hi @NathanNde Had I seen your post earlier, I would have replied ASAP. Anyway, I feel terrible no one responded to you and it's been 1 month. Just remember, you are not alone! This community has many caring, inspiring and great individuals, and I'd like to be the first one to greet you...

@Vinnitus I'm so sad to read your post V. i thought your T had reached a baseline and had stayed there. Is there anything you can think of in particular that made your T symptoms worse? (stress, work, diet, environmental exposure, mindset). Regarding thee post of @jjflyman, I would also...

Hey @Angelo P I got T initially in 2008 when I was 22 years old. It was due to loud noise exposure (even though I don't normally, I went out and stood by the speakers for several hours). That T was the worst one of the two (I had T resurface in July of this year, but it is around 95%+ cured...

Hey everyone, It's good to be back writing on this board (I've emailed and corresponded with several other people over the past few weeks) and discuss/update everyone. So since my last post about how drastic changes came around early September, I can say my T has at a slower rate healed and...

@glynis Sending hugs, support and LOVE from Los Angeles! Get well soon.

Hey @Vinnitus Just to let everyone know.. I'm still alive and fighting! I will update everyone shortly. Most likely this weekend. Cheers!

Hey @Vinnitus I'm so sorry to hear your T has spiked these past few days? By any chance was there something you experienced recently that you might think contributed to your T spike? Regard hearing damage, I am amazed by your theory about hair cell death and the inflammatory process. To...
