Not before it happens the world will never really appreciate the seriousness, pain and agony of having T. There will never be focus on us as a patient group, cause were all weird psychology cases with some silly noises inside our heads, They will never value us correctly, we will never receive...

I had a chat with an Osteopath a couple of weeks ago because I'm in a postoperative period again now (had several orthopedic surgeries), he said that many of his patients are also dealing with T. He went on to say that many of them felt improvement in terms of T after being treated for other...

@Stina, I haven't read that article before, thanks for sharing. There are several like it. It does actually strengthen my personal theories to a great extent, I've always believed that T is more a brain disorder than anything else. The article and the articles referred to in the article, also...

Thanks for sharing. And this is what my ENT and my audiologist don't want me to read. Can you believe that? They're so ignorant. The all so familiar "stay away from forums" line is so provocative. I got that again on my last assessment, this time I returned an honest reply.

I totally follow you on this.

@Ears4Funk, I think I've lost my fight for music. At least the headset use and the many hours of digging into my record collection. It all stopped the day I woke up with T. I think it's great to see that you wanna pursuit and keep music important in your life, doesn't your T get aggravated...

Just following up on my H assessment here. Did my third LDL-test today, it showed unchanged hypersensitivity on one ear but a slight improvement on the other. It feels the same for me on both ears cause H is all consuming as many of you may know. Also, I think I was a little more brave on one...

@Danil, Thanks for sharing that article and the info. Seems interesting to me, in my opinion they may be onto something. Good to see someone thinking out of the box, other than the "hearing loss --> T-->hair cell theory.

Hi mintblue, sorry to wander a little off thread topic here but what type of high frequency test did you do? I'm reading about them at the moment and over here they seem to be customized for small children that are not able to use physical response by hand gestures. Was it one of them electronic...

Nothing at all. Same old routine. Wish it was something I did but almost everyone experiencing this has no clue. T is living its own life.

Amelia, no need to feel sorry for this. It's a forum so we share. Didn't know you have a dad with T as well. But don't you get to talk to him about it, or is he mostly a sufferer? Some T veterans tend to give good advice and strategy tip. You need to approach each other with this it seems. I...

As some of you may know I have very loud and constant T. I've never ever experienced any decrease except from a very slight decrease whilst on benzo's. But it's more like brain based perceived feeling of relief, like being knocked out and nummed, but it doesn't really lower my T level. After...

@Boxdra, Stay positive. If the onset is pretty new then it could go away, its a complex thing. I've talked to people both with and without hearing loss that experienced solid decrease. In terms of doctors they don't know diddley about our condition. Might as well just expect that. The ENT's...

@Zimichael, Thanks for sharing. To me stress and preoccupation works a little different with my T. The latter is distracting and that's good. It's so difficult to debate T loudness as it's so based on individual aspects, but we all recognize a spike when we hear one! You have a great deal of...

Ok, but you wrote 6mg a day - of what?
