Dont forget your perception of Tinnitus is also related to your external sound enviroment. Sometimes its easy to think that the T has got louder. When in fact the external sounds are so quiet, there is nothing to mitigate the internal sound. Hope this helps. Peace & Love. Chimp.

Yes it can sap your energy and make it hard to concentrate. But I have found over time my mind has become "stronger" as such - and now can do most things "normally". I can somehow mitigate the effects. Takes time of course. Peace & Love to you. Chimp.

Just want to say long time no see Fishbone. Peace & Love to you man, you are an absolute legend. I think of you sometimes when I meditate and wish you peace, health, and freedom from all suffering. Peace & Love. Chimp.

Yes indeed my friend. Thank heavens for forums like this. Peace & Love Chimp.

Hi there, Dont worry it wont hurt your ears. The tinnitus is a brain based internal sound, not an external sound caused by air pressure on the ear drums. My Tinnitus is a very high frequency, and lately seems to have got higher. Any more and i will take off! lol. Please try not to fight with...

Dont listen to what they say. ENTs are normally not clued up on how the brain functions. The brain is extremely plastic in its responses to stimuli. Some people have had success with Neuro Modulation after having Tinnitus for years. If it was fixed, how come they respond so well. I think the...

Hi folks, Recently been taking Levothyroxine 25mg. I don't know if it's the medication or if I am just subjectively noticing the tinnitus more anyway. But it seems as if the tinnitus frequency/loudness has increased. Is/has anyone else on this medication noticed this? Peace & Love to you all...

Hi there, When you say steroids for Tinnitus, what exactly do you mean? Injections tablets? please tell lol. Peace & Love

My friend. I am sorry that you are having trouble with your family. If it helps any, you have a family here.

There may be something with FHP which causes Tinnitus, but im not so sure. Many people have terrible posture, dont excercise, eat badly etc - and no Tinnitus what so ever. But it doesnt hurt to improve posture anyway. Im just not sure how much it does/doesnt contribute to Tinnitus. Peace & Love.

Hi there. Tinnitus can be so complicated. How can we fully understand it, if the so called experts cant? I sincerely hope your Tinnitus goes away. I would say keep away from loud noises, especially headphones etc. Keep yourself well & stay as positive as you can. As you may already know...

I dont like the statement "There is no cure" while possibly technically correct (for now), you can reach a point where your mind/body comes back into balance. When that happens it is a kind of cure, because Tinnitus does not dominate your life - and you are more or less your old self. This...

Im sure it will return to baseline T. Mine always does (touch wood so far). What I have done is find a sound which I know masks my normal Tinnitus level. For me its the rushing water of the bathroom tap. The decibel level and "type" of sound it produces seems to mask my T completely. So if I...

Hi folks, I was doing some woodwork in the garden today, and broke some old wood up. The "crack" of the wood breaking made the pitch of my tinnitus increase. I'm not worried as it always returns to baseline. I wish I had a decibel meter to check the loudness of the cracking. I can't imagine...
