I wouldn’t take anything. Most tinnitus resolves itself in the short term. I’d give it a month or so before trying to medicate. Perhaps try distractive sounds that mask the tinnitus to take your focus away.

My tinnitus is like this as well. I gather from anecdotes that this type of tinnitus is common.

I my opinion you are better off listening to smaller speakers than larger ones. Whatever has the lowest wattage. I wouldn't be afraid of headphones, I use them without concern, I just don't have th volume loud.

I'm happy and my life is great. Still have tinnitus and it still bothers me every few days. I've tapered off my anti anxiety drugs and I get outside and drive again. We just got back from a month long tour of Asia and are planning kids! I wasn't the same two years ago. Healing just takes time!

Sounds tough Bill. How long have you had tinnitus?

Is this for real?

Only a real risk tests the quality of a belief. Life isn't fair and for some not easy. God doesn't promise that life for a believer would be easy, but He does say that He will walk with you through all the challenges.

I don't know what causes the cycles. I don't think about them anymore, too much effort. I just do what I do and handle the bad days with some masking. It's gotten to the point where cicada sounds are enough to overwhelm the tinnitus so I do that when it's bad. I've built up a tolerance to...

I have 2 good days followed by a bad day, then an average day, then repeat. I reserve the lorazepam for the bad days, and I never seem to take more than 2mg a week.

I have been taking 10mg of Lexapro daily since October last year. I've had no adverse reaction to the medication beyond feeling calmer and being less anxious which is the purpose of the drug. I also take 1mg doses of Lorazapam every three or four days when my tinnitus is more annoying. I seem to...

Thank you. This sound therapy is quite relaxing. :)
