I am very happy that works for you Louie. I did not write this with the intention of saying this is the case for EVERYONE. I wrote this with the intention of saying that yes it is a possibility and other may be able to relate. If it makes any difference, my spike usually only occurs 2-3 days...

Suicidally loud? That's pretty intense. Is anything else going on in your life that is making you feel this way or it's "just" the T? Is your T maskable?

Hello guys, I haven't posted here in a while. I still have Tinnitus but I forget about it most of the time. I am experiencing a particularly intense spike and subsequent freakout right now (which is probably making the spike worse) but I've been here before so I'm trying to stay positive. I've...

Blujay, I see your point, and I think that the answer to your concerns lies within the fact that after a while, you will start protecting your ears to noise exposure out of habit, as opposed to because of tinnitus paranoia. I did the same thing as anyone else at first. I tried to shelter myself...

Hello folks, long time no talk! I just have a quick question (as the title says): Is a change in Tinnitus sound Necessarily Indicative of worsening hearing? I ask because I find that my tinnitus has gotten very weird lately. I've learned to ignore the high pitch for the most part by gradually...

I'll take a wild guess... is it 25 years? :P

This here, folks, is pure habituation gold. You got it buddy!!! The being neurotic about tinnitus is wayyyyyyyyyy more damaging to your habituation than random loud noises. Be proud of yourself, the realization you just had is a big important one! GOOD JOB!!

People can move on! Yes! Yes, and Yes! Unfortunately it's not about what you ''wanted''. This is the hand that you have been dealt. It is your new reality now, and it's what you have to deal with. This is an opportunity to be reminded of the fact that you are not in control, that everything...

Wow dude, this is some next level understanding of brain function. I love it! I truly believe the first (and hardest) step is this: ''To stop paying attention to it you first need to strip it of an emotional valence.'' In this case, a little attitude goes a LONG way. If there's one thing I've...

At this point in my financial situation and habituation I would probably find better things to do with 2800$ :p

Difficult, perhaps. Impossible, I refuse to think so. :) Unfortunately I can't watch the video because I am at work, but you make a lot of important points. I can't tell whether you agree or disagree with me, but you are actually reinforcing my theory. Like you said, your brain has learned...

At this point, you may be asking yourself, why am I holding this 30 pound cinderblock in my hands? You might also ask yourself, why does this cinderblock have a long piece of string tied to it? And finally, why is the other end of this string tied securely to your penis?

If it gets worse, you'll adapt to that as well, so again, nothing to obsess about :P

yes. I don't think you should obsessing about making things worse unless you are doing something that could OBVIOUSLY damage your hearing, like using a jack hammer or going to a motorhead concert without protection. I strongly doubt that the dentist could do something to exacerbate your...
