First of all, thank you guys for this thoughtful exchange. TRT is a long path, up to 18 months, and I walked on it for just three months. My intention is persisting on it, according to Jastreboff's protocols, then making my evaluation. As for now, like I said, no improvement, and maybe a...

So - if I understand correctly - you did the whole TRT path twice and still use white noise generators...

I started TRT since three months. It's actually very expensive (around 3000 USD). When I wear sound generators, well, I can obviously hear T (otherwise it wouldn't be TRT but mere masking) but the nuisance of it obviously decreases. When I wear the generators: because when I take them off, T is...

No it's not about cutting nerves. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/8459751/

Has someone of our terrific T pundits heard about Microvascular Decompression of Cochleovestibular Nerve? And what do you think, in general, about surgery as a T treatment? Thank you in advance. Very very bad hours here, btw. Lazarus

@Michael Leigh Thank you so much fir your reply. Actually I did read your very complete and accurate post - a 'must' for every T sufferer - and, when the audioprothesist told me to wear the devices 24/7 I was very puzzled. The ENT of this team confirmed his opinion. Could you so kindly tell me...

Dear All, an update about my spike. Two months from the beginning, T loudness is basically the same (i.e severe), I think; moderate H and distortions are still there. But. I started TRT here in Milan. It's a month now. They gave me two sound generators. First they wanted to lock the volume...

Dear all. Just to share some thoughts. The spike is always present: now it's a month since the beginning. But... As I said, this spike came together with H. Now H is day by day becoming the main source of discomfort. So I could still mask the T, but often I don't want to, because the constant...

Thank you all very much for your replies. It helps to know that you are around. Did someone try the TRT and succeeded? Are TRT devices also a relief when you are wearing them, or your perception of T remains the same? Is TRT always linked with a psycho- (CB) therapy or not? Thank you again...

Dear all, I'm Lazarus from Italy. I do apologize about my english, which is clearly very poor, but I need support at the moment. I have T since 2005: after few months of anxiety and depression I managed it very well. It was not a problem anymore. Sometimes I did use earplugs to sleep, but I...
