" You can have peace without quiet". Its true. Brownbear. Good words.

Hello Carlos. Good words mate- I agree with and relate to them. I've just completed my second year also.Rog

Good one Kathy. I'm in the same boat. Its a positive story. Life's good. All the best.

Hi all, that's a great idea - focusing on reaction rather than the tinnitus. I've said it before somewhere here, but my brother said that he thought I was ADDICTED to the noise. I thought about that. A lot. And decided he was right. I'm weaning myself off the checking (what a habit it becomes...

rtwombly, I really like your 'brain scar' description! It fits.

Hi Andrew, yep, I'm Australian. Live in Perth. Know there's a few of us in this community. Hope things are ok for you. R

Hello Amelia, I hope you feel better soon - just keep gently pushing this tricky stuff into the past. R

Hello Emil, this is a really interesting point. I sometimes reflect on some specific moments before I 'got' tinnitus in July last year. I remember moments years ago when I'd be out bush in the dead quiet of night and I'd remark to myself things like, "Wow, this silence is noisy, almost...

Hi Lynn, I've been seeing a Chiro once a month, every month for 4 years. My back and neck are in top condition. That's why I go. I started 4 years ago due to chronic upper back/ neck pain, pinched nerve, wasting muscles, ancient whiplash injuries. I was a mess. After the first visit, my back...

Hi All, Good posts Raymundo! You are dead right. I've had T for just over a year, and have been part of this community since November. It's helped me. Mine started in July 2013. Jet engine type, 24/7. Had a really bad few months, then ever so gradually, things started to get ...better. My...

You're right. In no way to I trivialise this. Its really bloody tough. Full stop. My advice - do those good things you've listed. Do them. You'll feel that you've taken some control back. And achieved something good. Don't let it take over. And, you have to keep on doing that stuff too. Every...

Hi Telis, I used to wonder the same thing. Its not a strange post. I sometimes think about all the things that I used to think about before my silence was taken by the T. I know I'm not the same person. I'm a bit more careworn. A bit frayed. That sounds pretty dramatic. However, you're...

Hey Carlo, what a wonderful thing to happen! All the best to you. Rog

Yep, "Razor Sharp Hiss". Nicely described. That's what I have. It does drop in volume a bit, now and again in cycles to reveal a warbling peep! But yeah, that hiss is a mongrel! R

Hi All. Am a big supporter of mindfulness and rewiring. Am getting on with the noise ok, and living a happy life, all considering. Was having a vary rare conversation about the noise. Happened to be with my twin brother who was on a very rare visit. Something he said really struck a...
