Hi, Sarah, sorry to hear about what you're going through. My T is also louder when I lay down in bed. Frustrating, since I enjoy laying down. I mainly got mine from listening to loud music. My guess is that would be the main cause of your T. So please be careful about loud noise exposure...

Hi, very sorry about your hearing loss and T. How frustrating and at 28 years old I am sure you are going berserk. I get it, am101 sounds promising, I suppose it will be released eventually. I have a very small suggestion but it is all I know to say - I use beanies from Allsaints to cover my...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice... is it better for Tinnitus to fly, or take a long distance drive in a vehicle, if you wish to journey somewhere? My vehicle is fairly quiet, but there is some wind noise. Thanks, Rintintin

I know, totally agree. But what happens is that the sound is still there, and sometimes frustrating, but the intensity of the emotion subsides. Which doesn't mean it isn't totally horrible, just more manageable.

Yes, we are destroying ourselves with our technology. Witness the amount of people here who got T from loud concerts, medicines (biotech) etc. It has its plusses and minuses.

Sorry to hear about this. Hope you feel better.

Yes, the first few weeks are always brutal and people are freaking out... I know that I did. So I understand your frustration. Both ears, yuck. Give it a few weeks and the chances are very high you will see improve. T is very frustrating which makes it a psychological barrier. We are all...

Sounds like a good plan.

Sorry about your T. Very frustrating. I am wondering if you are sort of feeling out whether you should really go back to school. I have been thinking of getting into the Library Sciences. That might be a better bet for someone with T. Probably, any environment where it is really quiet...

Dominick, very sorry to hear about your T. So frustrating. It sounds like maybe you already had some vulnerability and then the noise generator triggered something. So weird. Anything can happen, it's how we get through it and manage it. My T is relatively new. I had a really bad day and...

Let's say you need to travel from NYC to Florida. You have a moderately quiet car you could drive, or you could take the plane. The car is quieter than a plane, but it is a longer time with the noise. Which one do you folks believe would be preferable for a Tinnitus sufferer?

Sorry to hear about your Tinnitus. I would not want to be sixteen years old again. It is a stressful time. Do what you can to stay calm. Blessings. Hope you feel better.

I am so sorry to hear about your struggles. I also got mine through noise, I was listening to Loco Locass really loudly when I had PTSD. It was stupid, and sometimes it is harder when it is self-inflicted unlike people who can blame the doctors or whoever else. I am scared to take the plane...

Natalie, congrats on the baby, sorry about your depression. It is a major life change to have a baby. I am not an expert in this field but I believe many women feel depressed after having a baby. It is a lot of work and very emotional. Of course, it is a wonderful thing to have a baby, but...

Hil, I agree with Aaron that you may never figure it out. But what you can do, even if you don't wish to make a medication change, is continue to take steps in the right direction. Positive self-care will stack the odds in your favor. For anxiety, I use Lemon Balm Force...
