The blank stare. And the look on their face is just something else.

I have taken 2 Tylenol PM for about 4 years now. I use a sound machine and fan. Also, I make sure the room is dark. I sleep thru the night.

@Watasha - I would leave a message on social media but I'm old school and I don't think they get it. To me everything the ATA does should be about funding good research. I had an opinion of them from the start. When my tinnitus first started I called them. They didn't answer their phone...

Go for drives, I usually drive around my neighborhood with my music on. And I did this every night. I also went for a walk around my neighborhood. I work full time. No down time, it's like starting a new diet. You have to start a new way to deal with it.

No checks and balances with the ATA. I left a message on phone, they never called me back. They can't even answer the basics. And when their phone messages are only asking for money, that is not good.

When I'm in silence all hell breaks loose. My tinnitus goes up a few notches and can take awhile to go back down.

Your tinnitus was originally lower so I will assume it will go back. But it can take time. For anxiety go back to a Doc and see what treatment you can do. You should get that under control, once that's controlled you will be able to deal with tinnitus. Mine is from stress.

The struggle is real but you've been here for awhile and know there are many successful posters who have done well. Especially studying will keep your brain busy. If you need a break, get up and go for a walk or short drive. I keep myself busy most of the day. Luckily, I was a busy person.

@tommyd87 - my point is doctors would not give me hearing aids with no hearing loss, but there are hearing aids w/ maskers for tinnitus and they would not sell me them either. But I found a doctor that would. I think they could help people with tinnitus. I was not using hearing aids for hearing...

I don't think of hearing aids as the cure, I think of it as a sound enrichment. It helps hearing, but not much with tinnitus. When I first acquired tinnitus, all I read was suggestions to get hearing aids. So I looked into it and I went to 3 ear doctors and had 3 audiograms. All showed the...

Some people have thought the problem lies solely in ears, and suggest fixing the ears. From where I stand, that has not panned out. My opinion is that we should go with the combination of brain and ears, finding where tinnitus originates in the brain first and then connect that to ears. Once...

I use Singular (med) and it is compatible with tinnitus, i.e. doesn't make it worse.
