@Eric N Do they offer some form of ‘sabbatical’ leave at your work ? Maybe taking six months off unpaid would give you less to worry about rather than looking for a brand new job after a year. It’s important you have a plan for using your time off otherwise time will pass by without you...

Sadly that appears to be quite common in the UK these days. The NHS has stepped away from using TRT nationally and it appears to be only available in selective areas. I have an appointment with ENT in a few weeks and am waiting for the dreaded 'You'll just have to live with it' speech. I'm...

@linearb He died on the 30th April this year. It's in all the British newspapers as the coroners inquest was only recently held. Still a very sad story and ,unfortunately, it won't be the last we hear on these boards :(.

Ok @Fabrikat let me ask you this. I am at the end of my tether with buzzing tinnitus & Hyperacusis. This has brought on massive anxiety problems that I have never had before. I am taking Benzos to try and help combat my utter fear of sound. I cannot relax, I have been off work for 6 months and...

I have to say that this has to be one of the worst / unsupportive messages I've read on this forum. How on earth do you know exactly what this man was going through ? You've ASSUMED something about him with no proof whatsoever. That's simply not fair.

This is NOT going to plan. How do I overcome this fear of sound ?

So I try to walk to the train station but I can't even get out of the house because of FEAR. The fear of noise and what it will do to my T & H is crippling. I am shaking at the moment. It's unbelievable what's happening to me. What the heck am I supposed to do when I'm like this ? :cry::cry::cry:

Couldn't agree more. I never understood how someone could simply give up on life until now.......

I am becoming more crippled by anxiety and fear by the day. I can't take anymore of this.... I am trying to be strong but cannot cope and I am worn out. I am heading for the train station to see what happens to my H on a short trip.If H is ok then I know there is hope and maybe anxiety &...

@Tweaker Have you noticed a change in your tinnitus level since these events occurred ? If your tinnitus hasn't increased then maybe that should give you some reassurance if it happens again and keep anxiety levels down. I know that's easier said than done as it's the unpredictability of...

Hope you are doing ok. Have a good weekend & enjoy your family time

Exactly. There is so much that is still unknown about T and H. Maybe research will get lucky and find a route quickly to the answer.

@Tweaker I agree. The whole dealing with anxiety problem is a mine field. I wish I knew the correct answer but all we can do is manage this on a day by day basis. I feel like I am on high alert every second of the day. It is exhausting. I will be watching this thread closely for tips.
