I was hoping for more than "I gagged on my toothbrush and my T was gone"... lol Recently(like last day or two) my T has shot up for some unknown reason. I haven't done anything different or blasted music for long periods of time. I get a temporary spike on my left side when I look straight...

Starting my 6th month here. No idea what caused it but still holding out hope it just disappears. I shouldn't HAVE to deal with it and get used to it. It should just leave me alone! lol I'm as healthy as I've ever been so it's stupid to even have this happening.

You need to focus on finding things that calm you down. Stress can definitely make T worse for most people. Don't focus a lot on how loud you think it is. I find it helps me to keep telling myself that "this is just an annoying noise. it doesn't hurt me." It's not like having a lot of pain in...

It's simple really. Just do 1 tablespoon of ACV in water. I usually use an 8 oz glass and almost fill it up. It helps dampen the acidity of the ACV.

This is why I've just learned each day to say, "It is what it is.", and move on. You gotta recognize not all days or minutes are going to be "good". If you notice a pattern of the T lessening over time though, even if you still get bad days it'll give you hope that it can improve even further.

Tinnitus is like Stewie on Family Guy. In one episode he's in the car with Lois and she tries to ignore him while he just keeps going, "Mom, mom, mom, mommy, mama, mom, mommy, mommy, mom." lol

I dunno, I guess it depends on what caused your tinnitus. I regularly clean out my ears by letting the warm water rush in and out of my ears when I'm in the shower and haven't had any worsening of my tinnitus.

The one thing that seems to make it "seem" louder without fail is the lack of external noise. The quieter it is the more I can hear/notice it. If I have too much alcohol to drink, the morning after it can be louder, but not always.

I've always kinda had the same suspicion. It's impossible to tell if people who have used these devices had gotten better specifically because of the device or not. Since you can't take two people with similar T and have one use a device and one not we'll never know. Everyone is different and I...

First and foremost my nightly ritual is to drink some Sleepy tea from Bigelow Benefits. It's a chamomile and lavender herbal tea that I drink about an hour, hour and a half before I actually lay down to sleep. It definitely helps knock me out as shortly before I lie down I usually notice myself...

I have 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar with 8 oz of water, two times a day. I’ve been doing that for about 3-4 weeks and so far has seemed to help me pretty well though YMMV. When I go to bed at night I use a Lectrofan machine to play some noise because it gets way too quiet at night. Otherwise my...

I saw The Last Jedi w/ ear plugs in and had no issues at all. So you should be fine. I used these ones: https://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Fidelity-Earplugs-ETY-Plugs-Standard/dp/B0044DEESS/

TMJ disorder (painful jaw that doesn't open properly and clicks when I open it too far) - I can open my jaw fully w/o issue, no clicks or pain or anything like that. Feeling of clogged ears, as if they need to pop constantly. - I get this, but pretty rare. Seems to have more to do w/ the cold...

@Equalizer You seem to do nothing but spread negativity and the wish for death. Just because you are miserable does not mean others, with worse T than you have, are miserable as well. People find a way to cope and deal with it, and have it lessened over time. Others experience complete...
