I had 3 teeth pulled a few months ago, and I was put on a Z pack for a week to control the antibiotic growth. I noticed the same thing for my T. Very Very loud after taking the pill. After I was off the Z pack, my levels returned to where the were before. Antibiotics are just a drug like...

The 3M classic ear plugs are very nice, with a Great fit. These were given to me when I went for my first T doctors appt with my hearing test. I wear the older 33 db ones at night and on planes (vacuums too) - the material is a bit harder than most ear plugs. Sometimes hard to find in...

That was incredibly inspirational. I don't know how to make a tearing up emoticon, but yeah. I'll be reading these words and coming back to this general thread often. Thanks for the welcome!

@James Thanks for the words of encouragement. I do computational work, so some earphones, with not-too-loud music, helps to drown much of the T while I work. I've now moved to a much-more quiet work area, as some of the noise would make it worse, even over music. I'm sleeping better once I...

I've had it worse after long (even short) car journeys, and I too run away when someone else is vacuuming. I wear earplugs at night from all the general noises. One thing you could try is to carry around cotton. The cotton can significantly help the T from cars/air conditioners/etc. when I...

Hi all, I've been suffering from T for about a year now. Every day feels like a battle that I don't want to fight anymore. I've been on several treatments from my T/Migraine doctor, and none of them seem to work. The only thing that seems to relieve it for some time is alcohol, which comes...
