I rate my T as 3-4/10, it sounds sometimes like an Sparkling pill and sometimes more like hissing at 4000Hz, but most of the time is a mix of them. Tiring and stressfull days make it louder. Normally I dont hear it in my noisy office, but always in a silent room. i think its around 10db, and surely near 4k Hz. I dont have any problem to sleep and never took medication. Now taking NAC and seriously thinking about Retigabine wich i already bought in Spain without prescription

Im not sure about its cause, started slowly in feb/2014, cant attach to a specific day, so im almost discarting accoustic trauma, but I also went to some discos over that time. Pretty sure the high stress I had on that time is partial cause of my T. Also worth to mention that a month before I had my first and big back contraction when I was doing a big effort in the gym.

I have completely normal life, except I avoid Discos and loud places, my T is not intrusive. Even I'm quite obsessed with it, as always when I want to solve some problem, I dont stop until finding a solution
All this year I've been really worried about my T. I have another friend with much louder T wich absolutely doesn't care about it, well it depends on every person reaction. Since feb/14 haven't been a single day that i didn't think about for some time, not because its intrusive for me but because of wonders about the science behind it, the causes, cures etc.

Even my T is not severe, I can assure that T. is the worst thing happened in my life.
I can't imagine how could be my life if this happened 10 years ago when there was no hope like Retigabine or Aut63 and it was severe T.

Special thanks to MPT for being brave enought to test Retigabine. And all the other forum users for spending lot of time in researching and sharing experiences
