Threads like this are the reason I stopped coming here.

I consulted a doctor, he said I have developed Ménière's disease and Labyrinthitis due the stress. I have Meniere's and to my knowledge you don't get it from stress. Meniere's is caused by an excess of fluid(endolymph) in the inner ear. It is also known as endolympatic hydrops. The exact cause...

Only a small percentage of people who experience tinnitus actually have loud tinnitus. The problem however is that suffering isn't necessarily related to loudness and somebody with very mild tinnitus can be as traumatised as somebody with very loud tinnitus. I also believe that somebody with...

I keep reading in people's posts that tinnitus is just a sound and that it doesn't matter how loud it is, but that how well one copes or habituates to tinnitus is tied to one's reaction to or perception of that sound. My question is: Is anyone else's tinnitus also tied to their circulatory...

IMO it just validates that tinnitus is subjective and people's perception can change from day to day. My tinnitus is screaming right now. When I got up it was screaming, when I went for a bike ride it was OK because I was focused on the traffic, other riders, what was going on around me. When I...

So like I'm just wondering if anyone else here gets random bouts of anger in regards to their T? I know all of us aren't too happy about it but I'm talking serious rage!! I don't know whether it's the depression or what but I feel so damned angry & I even welcome it due to being an actual...
