http://www.egms.de/static/en/journals/cto/2016-15/cto000131.shtml Abstract A nearly endless number of procedures has been tried and in particular sold for the treatment of tinnitus, unfortunately they have not been evaluated appropriately in an evidence-based way. A causal therapy, omitting the...

I wish more famous people with T would tell their stories, especially how they cope.

Agree with @Zug . This gives me something to look forward to, whether it happens sooner or later.

Oh man, keep this stuff coming. A lot of us need to hear news like this...

I think it's different for everyone. I tried earplane plugs and had to take them out, found them uncomfortable. Regular foam plugs work for me but I've found it best to fly open-eared, no plugs at all. I just don't watch movies anymore - read or take some melatonin and sleep. But it all...

Up until this recent spike, my T was mostly a key-jangling or cricket-chirping noise, just in my right ear. Now it's back as a dog whistle/fluorescent light hum, as in my first days, plus I now have it in my left ear sporadically. My head feels clogged, too. So I'm not sure if my T was going...

I've recently refunded to this forum after a while not noticing my own T and not wanting to think about it. It's an up and down process but one thing you'll learn, if it doesn't go away, is that you'll be able to live with it. Good luck.

Great help to read this. I'm having a relapse of my entire days, noticing it all the time and experiencing negative thoughts or panic. I know I'll get through it but it helps to see others who have.

I'm only an occasional visitor to TT but I'd bet a lot of folks like me are willing to become more active if we think there's a realistic chance of getting more attention and $ for T research. It would certainly make me feel a lot better to know I'm doing something, instead of just waiting to...

Hi everyone. I stopped coming to TT frequently a while ago, as it seems to help me adapt more by not reminding myself of my condition. Tonight I just wanted to seek some friendly thoughts because I'm in a bad way. My T is in my right ear, left ear was fine. I'm finishing up a two week...

Thanks, @Evian . Yeah, I was staying away from this forum for a while because I was better off not doing anything to remind me of my T. I'm still trying to not let it get to me, despite the intensity. I am just so confused as to whether this is a spike or just a period of physical...

Anybody else have this - For the last 4 days or so it seems like my T is more intense, but I can't really say or not whether it's gotten any louder. I've been habituating more or less ok ever since the original panic when it started. Then suddenly in the middle of the day last week, I had the...

I put down "other" because I don't know where my complaint fits. The biggest thing that bothers me is barometric pressure. It turns relatively tolerable T into a high-pitched squeal that drives me nuts.

Sorry for your loss, linearb. My father is 91 and has had progressive hearing loss for decades. I haven't asked him about tinnitus but I wouldn't be surprised if he had it. He's a world war 2 vet and used to love blasting opera records when he was younger. Even if he doesn't have it, he's...

Now that I'm more used to it (not habituated, just doing better with it), I've pretty much decided not to do anything, either. My thinking is that I will habituate more easily if I simply accept it as part of me. I just came back from my first overseas trip, which I was dreading after my T...
