    Starting to Think My Tinnitus Is Mostly Psychosomatic?

    Seems like an old post to rescue. I was in fact talking about primary headaches being caused by emotional/neurological dysfunction. I do see that in the link you posted they say the exact same thing and they are quite common indeed. There is the obvious possibility that other more severe causes...

    I Think I Was Looking at Tinnitus Wrong and You Are Too

    Mine was severe for 2 years, when I started to try, with trial and error at the beginning, to manage my reactions I felt OK even with it ringing loud. Only after another year it started losing intensity and volume. Not vice versa. Now if I have t or not is the same. Perception shapes and changes...

    I Was Doing So Well for 3 Years — Now My Tinnitus Is Sort of Back

    It still surprises me how unaware people is of themselves and their emotional life, though they already gave themselves the correct answer, again without being aware.

    I Think I Was Looking at Tinnitus Wrong and You Are Too

    I'm sorry TieMinnow, I fear they won't listen because they can't understand. It's years I'd like to post my success story, but reading posts like your and the comments makes me change my mind every time. Nowadays medical science has robed us of the importance of body mind links and emotional...

    Starting to Think My Tinnitus Is Mostly Psychosomatic?

    Haven't read all of the replies. Just based on post title I would say, sure, most tinnitus are psychosomatic, which means neurologic, it is the same thing, just like anxiety , it is neurological in its manifestation with, most times, a strong psychological part in its causes. Your IBS example is...

    Ringing in Ears Keeps Brain More at Attention, Less at Rest, Study Finds

    Studies about what in particular ? Just tell me and I'll try to find and link you them if that can help. Anyway... "Theoretically" I think it's possible but It's a bit more complicated than that. I'm sure enough that that would lower tinnitus and the emotional response to it (this is the real...

    Ringing in Ears Keeps Brain More at Attention, Less at Rest, Study Finds

    Why scared ? It's been long known that tinnitus IS in the brain. Most recent research affirm that tinnitus starts ONLY if there is some kind of earing damage (even minimal, even normal age related) coupled with disregulation of the stress system (because of chronic stress for example, or...

    Lack of Confidence (Stress) Related Tinnitus

    Looks to me like a temporary relief, working on your self esteem is nothing automatic like a hypnosis session, it requires lot of hard work, ALOT. First of all, you have to really understand what self-esteem is, it is not just someone's emotional evaluation of his own worth. You have to create...

    One Year Tinnitus and Getting Much Better!

    No problem, your english is alright, it isn't my first language too :) I guess that thinking and knowledge won't let you grasp anything about faith, the only way to "feel" faith, just like emotions, is thru experience. If you put thinking in it, they are technically sentiments, not emotions...

    One Year Tinnitus and Getting Much Better!

    I absolutely disagree with the word "smarter". I think "more rational" suits better what you mean. "Smart" is as vague as the word "God". There are many kind of intelligence, I can be rationally smart but emotionally immature, "usually" who is mainly rational lacks some emotional depth. In fact...

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    Not sure if ADs can cause T, in my opinion it is possible but it's much more likely the other way around, the problem you are taking ads for can cause T, it is possible that someone who stabilizes neurochemistry using meds is left with an even more severe imbalance once he stops taking them if...

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    I guess he meant that T and emotional problems are often related, and that's true. I kinda agree to that logic, in my experience many people with an anxiety disorder or depression, has some degree of T, I mean, apart form scientific data, personally I know 9 of them and 4 of them have T...

    Mother-of-Two Dies After Snorting Cocaine Every Day to Treat Her Tinnitus

    Sorry for her :( But it's another story of bad treatment/management, not another story of bad tinnitus. Panick attacks (depression I guess), cocaine, alchool, tinnitus... T doesn't sound like her only major issue, maybe therapy and an antidepressant would have been a much better choice. Even if...

    Scientists in Sweden Create a GABA Pump for Chronic Pain and More

    Doesn't sound good to me! About pain, international guidelines suggest that prior to use of any drug, an holistic (scientific, not new age!) approach should be attempted. Re-organization of central sensitivity in pain is usually possible with a good success rate using mind body techniques which...

    Never Thought I'd Be Here

    I guess mostly everyone who suffer from tinnitus should take a hint from your success story. Because of the strong link between T and limbic system, whether it is bipolar or anxiety or depression, and wether it is tinnitus in first place causing anxiety/depression or vice-versa (because who...
