i stopped into the thread to say hello to New Guy. But found some posts from some neighbours. I'm in Hamilton and have also experienced some crazy weather. I hope you are feeling better soon David. You are right perspective does have so much to do with learning to cope with T, and many other...

its still pretty loud @jiflyman. But, I've been getting on with my day, and am feeling positive as i get busy and distracted from the T.

I am inspired by the stories here, but it is so hard to stay positive and hopeful at times. Like now. I know hanging in there may help??

My T settled down a bit, and was managing. The last few days it really spiked. I have no idea why. I struggle and hate this constant noise.

I recently purchased the sound oasis s650. I haven’t had trouble with sleep, but the advice I received here was to include background noise at night. The volume, set below the sound level of the tinnitus will help with habituation, extending into the day time hours. I’ve had it a week now. It’s...

All the best to you @gggoodgggirl When I first experienced T 3 months ago I thought it was temporary, then I became horrified as it continued. I was reacting from an emotional centre and couldn’t get a handle on having to live with T. When I had a quiet day, or days, I would have such relief...

I’m almost 4 months into a loud tinnitus. It has been an emotional trip the first few months and still is at times. I pray for habituation or hopefully that the t resolves. I have some hearing loss in the high frequencies, and gained the t from ear trauma , painful syringing. I’m better able to...

I’ve had a few quieter days. It’s been good. The T has turned through today Though, but my attitude is so much different. I recognize my feelings around the T, acknowledge them, then understand that the volume of the T. comes and goes, as does my awareness of the tinnitus sounds. This strategy...

I'm three months into T and i would hate the thought of never being able to travel to NYC again. I've been many times and love the galleries, restaurants, and some live plays. I don't like this tinnitus at all. Its a hard adjustment and i don't even know if its permanent with me, but it seems...

Its nice to read a success story. Or, at least it seems you are on your way. I wish you all the best. Im 3 months into the T and I've felt a couple of times that my T was going away only to have it return quite loud again. the spikes are hard to manage my way through. This site is good to share...

"If you have hearing loss it is advisable to wear a hearing aid as I've explained in my article: Tinnitus, A Personal View. If you don't wear a hearing aid your brain will try to compensate for the missing frequencies that it can't hear from the outside world. It will turn up it's internal gain...

I'm with you in spirit Joel, hang in there. adjusting to T is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, and continue to do. I'm new to this and its not fun at all. I hate it. But I'm going to hang in there and see how i adjust. Ive read more a few stories of people adjusting well by...

Thank you for your thoughtful and informative posts Michael. I enjoy reading them and value the hope and insights youbbrinf to the discussion. I was wondering if you have experience or knowledge related to my situation. I have never had tinnitus except for the occasional kind after loud music...

Hang in there Bill. I've picked up some ear plugs for when I'm out and about. Around the house when i use power tools, or even hammering i have the volume control ear muffs that some use on the gun range. I find they filter the high frequency and loud sound noise out nicely. I just ordered the...
