  • Has anyone had any good experience with hearing aids? Or are they all crap?
    BlueMoon86
    I tried two hearing aids, neither worked for me. I have the rare reverse slope which is the 1% of hearing loss, while they are made for the 99% high frequency loss. If you have high frequency loss and tinnitus they could help.

    Thanks all! As I have reactive T, I guess this is out of the question for me.

    @Juliane - if you truly have bad reactive T please continue to be careful. Don't mean to scare you. I wish I listened but I think mentally I just could not endure.
    If dementia means not really knowing what's going on, forgetting about T, not noticing etc. It might not be the worst fate.

    With dementia, maybe T will seem like a fresh new horrible experience every day.

    I read that having T increases probability of having dementia. If that is the case, I wouldn't mind it. Maybe we can go faster than waiting thousand decades with T.

    Dementia would possibly just make you unable to word your issue properly. You still experience pain, fear, sadness, etc.
    Scared all the time, sad all the time, heartbroken....Do you think dementia would be a relief for us suffering from T and H?
    ECP
    It might offer some relief from anxiety and from the existential burden of being responsible for our own happiness and our own careers. But sadly, if we get dementia, it would shift the burden of our problems onto our loved ones. :(

    I think tinnitus just makes other things even more difficult to deal with.
    So is the only way to resolve your karma debt to live through this hell? Is there any escape?
    4Grace
    @Juliane - karma yes. I was not a very religious person before this. Sometimes we may suffer due to fact that we live in a fallen world. Suffering can be a result of sin. I was prideful and lived for things of the flesh. Now this may sound insane on here. Like Nox you can't know until you know. I have had things happen to me that you would not believe. Not for everyone but for me this was 100 percent God.
    4Grace
    @Juliane - when I say this was God I mean I did this to myself. I have been thinking of every moment that I did not live in accordance to Gods commandments. Take this as you will. I am as sure as day. 100 percent. I had a hard time changing my ways. I did not realize what I was doing.
    Juliane
    @4Grace Thanks for sharing that. But I guess many of us live as sinners according to some religions. I know people who I think have sinned a lot more than me but they don't have tinnitus. I have given up looking for justice. I don't understand the world or God's plan.
    When I do exercise, everyone tells me I look good, my skin glows etc. But my T spikes! Such utter hell

    I don't think Sarahml coming on here same time as me was a coincidence. I had a million things happen to be that cannot be chalked up to coincidence.
    Juliane
    @4Grace I am curious as to why you don't think it was a coincidence that you and Sarah came to TT at the same time?
    Juliane
    I by the way feel the same way with many events in my life in recent years. They somehow would have led me here no matter what I did
    I feel my tinnitus is related to an energy crisis of body and mind. I could be wrong. Perhaps it's just pure evil
    I need help
    4Grace
    I understand this statement so much. Truly feel this statement deep down. Are you in flight or fight during the day ? Experiencing anxiety ? Wondering if it's getting worse due to stress. Love you. I wish we could do more to help each other.
    This is really really bad. My head buzzes with horrible sounds
    L along the way
    Sorry to read, i symphatize. When do we get a break from this stuff? It's been harsh beyond words.. How is this endurable i ask myself? The only thing which kinda helps me right now is to give it time. For sleep i've been using meds, which have been helpful. Daily life.. work.. going for walks, distract myself with gaming. Praying for time to make things better
    Why do I develop a morse code sound every time I start taking a B vitamin complex? Any ideas / similar experiences?
    Juliane
    @Pinhead I know, but the complex I take is without B6
    N
    Some guys here worsened from folic acid/folate (B9).
    kingsfan
    Vitamin B6 is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Maybe it has a similar effect on tinnitus as SSRI's
    Thinking of my friends here and wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday

    Thanks, I wish. Woke up to lawmowers today. Yesterday. Day before yesterday. FUCK LAWNS.
    ECP
    @gameover When my husband visited rural England, he was blown away by all the sheep in the countryside, munching grass all day. Lawnmowers were hard to find. Makes me want to start a political movement called "Down with lawnmowers, up with sheep!"
    Ladies, out of interest as I am not there yet but know it is coming: did menopause affect your T? If yes, how?
    T
    I'm getting there @Juliane. I have to wonder if it's contributed to making T worse.
    ECP
    I once did a search on this website for information on whether hormone replacement affected T and H. Surprisingly, there wasn't a lot of discussion on that, even though half of us are female and surely some of us are old enough to have gone through menopause, with or without hormone replacement.

    Bottom line: opinions were mixed and none were vehement.
    ECP
    So as far as I know, menopause and HRT don't play huge factors for most of us. If it did, I think there would've been a lot more discussion on this board.
    T wants rigidity. Any type of excitement, good or bad, and it acts up. It wants me to live like an old fragile lady. Which I am I guess
    4/4 heavy cocktails and celebrate. TT wil become part of a digital library for students. The end.

    Students, if you're reading this in the future, make sure our memories aren't slandered. We've suffered in screaming silence for too long.
