    Might Need to Get Off the Forum for a While

    My T isn't bugging me its my tmj and jaw issue. My Tmj was doing great and now its flaring up again with new pains. Sorry I didn't explain that well. No need to get defensive and make those kind of accusation. I think you may have deeper issues if you felt the need to find some older post of...

    Might Need to Get Off the Forum for a While

    Hey everyone, I'm going to get off the forum for a while. I think my brain needs to stay away for a bit. My anxiety is kicking my ass lately and I keep getting those stupid fleeting tinnitus episodes. Also I think going to so many doctors with in the last couple months and not improvement...

    Whose Tinnitus Actually Went Away Though?

    Its in Maryland and you will need to have your doctor give a refferal. Ask your doc about It and try to get one if they won't help find a doctor who will. I would also call your health insurance and ask them for help with it as well.

    Whose Tinnitus Actually Went Away Though?

    I have read some of your post new and old and I feel obligated to help you and I am happy to do so. Have you ever tried to get a referral from any of your doctors to go to NIH and have them help you? If NIH accepts you its 100% free and they will work with you until either Jesus returns or you...

    The Weekends

    I wish all of us could get together every weekend and hang out. It would probably do some of us a lot of good. Let's buy an island and meet every weekend.

    Really Good Advice! Time for You to Feel Better.

    Eventually you will harden yourself to it. Whether it goes away or not. You will get to the point where you won't give a shit about it, but you have to let it happen. I understand your worry and I've been there. You will get better most of us do and there is a million people who had/have T...

    Really Good Advice! Time for You to Feel Better.

    3 months is a while, but not in T terms. I was a wreck until about last month and I'm doing a lot better. I still have my days, but better. Are you deaf in the one ear or can you get a hearing aid? Hearing may be instant relief for you.

    I was the same way about noises. I always wanted silence. Probably one of the many reasons it can get rough sometimes with T. I am a strong believer in accepting what is and what isn't.

    I forgot to mention it was quiet at first and it turned into a metal on metal screech. It goes up and down and up and down. I'm probably a 5/10 Regardless of how loud some people can't deal with quiet T any better than those with loud T.

    I understand dude. I still have bad days don't get me wrong, but I can't sit around and feel bad about it. That's why I say I'm 99% better. I look at it like this, its here I can't do anything about it, I accept that and once I did that things got a little easier. I hope yours lowers and I...
