Hi all, 51/2 years in and still living with this demon! The last 3 weeks have been worse than normal, in respect to the number of "bad" days vs "good" days (bad= loud, good= little to no sound). Anyhow... this morning I woke up to the usual hiss, got dressed and decide to trim the backyard...

Hi Joe. Thank you for replying to me. I'm sorry that you had to go through surgery resulting in tinnitus, but glad you feel some comfort from your faith. I've never been a religious person, so I don't have the faith that you do. I do however try to be a good person in my dealings with others...

Well said...and very true. Take care. P

Hi John, Thank you for the reply/thoughts. You say I'm ok with tinnitus on some level... I guess I have to be...but it does "drive me batty" on the loud days. I'd like to get to the point that I don't think about it, but it's impossible when it's blaring away. Take care. P

Hi all, 5 years and 2 months in with tinnitus, so I thought I'd post how I'm doing, and ask a question as well. When I first got tinnitus I went through the usual panic, frustration, etc that we all go through. I must admit that I still don't think I'll ever accept this horrible affliction...

I'm the same. Whether I've had a good day (little-no T) or a bad day (loud T) I always fall asleep with my left ear, my "bad ear" against the pillow. It's louder if I try to sleep on the "good ear" side. During the day my T is often slightly to the left of centre in my head. My problem is that I...

My T is lower after a shower about 70% of the time. Strange beast!

Hi. I'm 3.5 years into my T and still experience very loud/mod loud/quiet days in a non-regular pattern (always loud when I wake up in the morning though) One day can be loud...the next little to none. I'm grateful for the quiet days...but still get depressed sometimes. Taking a shower in the...

Hi all. Three years and five months in with tinnitus. Like many here I have days of little to no tinnitus and then days of loud tinnitus. Over the past months the level of the loud tinnitus has decreased. The pattern of good/bad days is unpredictable. Anyhow...one of my favourite drinks that...

My T is loud every morning, even after 6 hours sleep. I normally go to bed at 10-10.30 and wake up at around 5am. If I wake up after a dream (anywhere from 3-4am usually) then my T is really loud. I then try to get back to sleep by concentrating on something in my mind despite the T being...

A very interesting video. Great to know that "help is on its way". I've had T since June 2014. In my situation I know stress has played its part. When I wake up in the morning it is always loud. After a hot shower around 80% of the time it reduces to the point of not hearing it at all unless I...

Hi..No, this is not unusual. I can go 2,3,or less often 4 days of little to no tinnitus, with the average of 3 days before a loud day. Other times I can only have a good day once or twice a week. However, as I have given up work I have less anxiety/stress so I believe this is a reason it's been...

OK...so I am in my second week of taking the B1. As suggested by Azariah I crush a pill in around 10ml water (around 200 drops!) and I'm currently taking around 15 drops a day (which I equate with the recommended amount of around 1.2mg). I've noticed that my T is lower in volume when I wake up...

Hi Azariah, I've just read this thread and have found it very interesting. It's great that we have a scientist on board here. I've just ordered a bottle from Iherb...so will see if it works for me. I'm 2.5 years into this horrible affliction and hope that one day they'll be a cure, but until...

Wake up every morning with T. get up...have a hot shower...80% of the time T reduced to almost nothing, so I have a good day! Still get bad days despite the hot shower but I'm glad of the good days. Pattern of good days bad is weird...seems to make no sense to me. How can I have no T one day and...
