I can't wait to play this and the neuromodulation track in my car once they're available on the T network. My passengers will be in awe.

If I were you, I might take some time off, but no more than a semester or quarter, in order to find ways to cope. For example, you might want to see what sounds mask your T or make you feel comfortable. Perhaps establish better sleep patterns. I would work on setting up a schedule that minimizes...

I like hearing that the researcher is motivated enough to say that he wants to find a treatment for T people within 5 years. Like some others here, I say do what makes you happy, but I also say do what you can manage. Med school costs a lot of money, as I'm sure you know. And it is stressful...

I was on .5 mg clonazepam for a while (1 week, then cut off a bit so I was taking about .4 mg for 2 weeks). So, 3 weeks total at first. When I tried to stop, sleep was impossible. I took one yesterday just for relief. Now I get a weird feeling in my foot, like it is vibrating. At first I thought...

hi hps, I have multiple tones (3 I think) and part of me thinks it would be nice to just have hissing, as mine fluctuates a lot and can't be masked ... but I'm guessing that's not the case with you? You dislike the hissing. Also, what dose were you taking?

I'm not sure if this is in another thread, but ... My tinnitus is sometimes easier to mask if I play white noise and music at the same time ... does anyone know of a way to combine 2 tracks on a mac? Feel free to just conversation me as I do not want to clutter this thread with different...

@jazz Yeah, I have a feeling something is wrong with my eustachian tubes these days, and that they are contributing to my tinnitus, so I'll avoid using the valsalva maneuver as I land and after I get off. It's more than a feeling, actually ... in the first step of drawing up mucus from my...

Hm, I think I read somewhere that inside a car (which has been giving me ear trouble lately), decibel levels are right around 70, so about the same as a shower, then. I'm with Markku, though. No need for them in the shower ... unless you take really long showers.

It settled after 2 months ... that gives me some hope here. However, I'm sorry to read about your worsening from the car ride. @Petloy and @hps I am discovering that after about 30 minutes on the freeway, the T in my left ear starts acting up. Now, I may or may not wear earplugs and almost...

Yeah, I may or may not be using earplugs the next time I go on any trip longer than 10 minutes. It would be best to use etymotics, alpines, or flesh-colored earplugs; these are less visible ... it may be illegal to wear earplugs while driving depending on where you drive.

Also, I'm asking because I am on my to see my ENT next week (Monday). Should I just tell him: I'm depressed and anxious, how about some Remeron?

So, I was a bit depressed before my two new kinds of tinnitus came into my life, and now, I am even more depressed, especially upon waking. Getting out of bed is hard. Took 2 hours this morning. I know that remeron is prescribed for depression. I don't think it will do anything for my tinnitus...

Hi Hudson, I'm down to .25 mg klonopin daily. Been taking it for a little over three weeks. I won't bore you with my klonopin story (no bad side effects ... a bit more anxious now, probably because I'm taking less). I don't think it has changed my tinnitus much, just made me care a lot less...

I recently got some, but the fit isn't perfect; there is occlusion when I talk. I'm taking them back to get them remade.

Hi, I am in the US and looking to try acupuncture. I don't think it will do anything for my T, I just want to try it. But, I want to make sure I go somewhere that is clean and safe. Any advice on how to find a good (or even great) acupuncturist?
