    3 Months Into Mild Tinnitus — Story for Newbies to Help Cope with Initial Panic and Depression

    Hey @rmnkby, this is a great post! A lot of what you said is something that I try to tell myself when I’m feeling super down and anxious. If you don’t mind me asking, how mild is your tinnitus? Meaning.. when do you really hear it? Thanks in advance!

    Tinnitus Completely Gone with Eardrops After Over a Year Plus a New Discovery (Please Read!)

    @MartinNYC nice! You’re so lucky you found the cause. My pt is convinced it’s musle problems in my neck and not my TMJ but my gut is iffy about it all. Did you have pain in your jaw?
