    Tinnitus Masking: In-Ear Maskers

    I used them for about a year and a half. Yes, the masking noise is more pleasant - unfortunately my tinnitus frequency is high and it kind of just shrieks over it anyway. My hyperacusis got much better but my tinnitus got much worse. After an ear infection, I found that the noisers just agitated...

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    I feel ya on the elevation of baseline. Unfortunately my TRT provider said to just push through it because it'll get better. Well... it didn't.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Ha, I know that feeling. Mine is from an infection - infected wisdom tooth + head cold combo that went straight to my ear - and I still blame myself for not getting said wisdom tooth out earlier, even though I saw x-rays of my mouth and I knew I'd have to have it removed eventually, but I put it...

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    Lol this is a great post. But obviously TRT didn't work out for me because I "didn't believe in it". Right!

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    Man, my CBT therapist refunded me halfway during the course because he felt he couldn't help me and didn't want to keep taking my money because all I did was cry through the sessions (which, by the way, were in the quietest room you can imagine, making it even harder with screaming T). Good...

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    It's all good. Just gonna put Michael on my ignore list and be blissfully unaware of his constant victim-blaming from now on. Putting those damn sound generators on is one of my biggest regrets and I wonder where I'd be today if I hadn't constantly irritated my hyperacusis and T with white...

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    Lol I leave this place for a short time and the thread explodes... 1: Yes, it was proper TRT. I actually spent quite a bit of money to fly to the UK where I could work with someone who specialises in it. 2: Yes, I believed in it. I believed in it for years. I believed in it for years, even...

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    Lol Michael is like... the poster child for TRT brainwashing. Don't expect him to consider any perspective that is not his own, and I say this as someone who's done TRT (and got nothing out of it, because, you know, it's a scam).

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Eh, tbh the costs of a Neuromod trip just to get a MML measurement aren't really worth it IMO - if it works, I'll know, if it doesn't, there's no sense in measuring some arbitrary values. I've had this thing long enough to tell in various environments if it's being masked better or not and I...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Honestly, from what I've seen in the User Experiences thread, if I decide to go for Lenire (still waiting, although the new sound that popped up in my formerly good ear three weeks ago isn't helping with patience), if the first settings help, I might make up an excuse to avoid changing to the...

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    Fair enough, thank you. I'm on a bigger dose (1 mg in the morning, 1 in the evening combined with some other meds) but it seems to be helping a lot. Benzos allow me to function. Right now I feel like I'm choosing the smaller of two evils, you know?

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    7 years? I'm nearing 1 year of taking it. How has it been treating you? Have you needed to raise the dosage much?

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    So all I see are replies from people who registered at the Dublin clinic - has anyone tried the Hannover one yet?

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Honestly, I don't think I'll ever be honest with them. I'm not about to disclose information (meds I'm taking, suicidality) that will make them likely to turn me away. No effin' way.
