    Hi Amy, I don't have a lot of ear pressure. Maybe when I first got T (or actually when it got worse/louder this past spring) I had some intermittent pressure. But not so much anymore. I work on the 62nd floor of a building and sometimes the elevators change the pressure in my ears, but they...

    Hi Louise - I don't have a lot of ear fullness. When I first got T, it was worse, but it would come and go. Has yours settled down yet?

    Tinnitus Hit the Second Ear

    Hi @Jéssica Amorim I've been where you are. Had T in my left ear for almost 30 years, and was happy to have my "good ear." I always thought if I got T in my right ear, I'd be screwed, deaf, and it would be the worse that could happen. This spring the T in my left ear got louder and then to...

    @zeroday I've kinda trained myself to react the same way! Like, oh cool, my own personal sound machine.

    The Positivity Thread

    I love this @Gin! Right now I'm at the beach on vacation - something that several months ago struck fear into my heart. I didn't think I could go away with my newly loud T & H. Didn't think I could leave the comfort zone of my own house and bed. But I'm fine, sleeping like a baby, having a...

    Stop Focusing on Noise?

    Worrying about sleeping is a good way to not sleep lol. But believe me, I've been there and it's gotten much better. However last night my T was loud so concentrated on the rain noise on my alarm clock and finally fell asleep. The main thing I did was just view the T as an annoyance and not...

    Stop Focusing on Noise?

    Hi @JodieStephens I've found the answer to stop listening to the noise is to live my life: go to work, connect with friends and family, make dinner w/my husband, pay bills, go for walks. The noise is still there, but the more I place my focus on anything but the T, I feel like I'm rewiring my...

    @Shera You sound so calm! I'm really proud of you. And you sound like you have such an interesting life - with the cows and being out in the country. I feel the exact same way - I just get annoyed at the T and don't have horrible, sad reactions to it most of the time. I try to just ignore...

    Magnesium

    @Michael Leigh What kind of magnesium do you use? I got a couple jars of Mag Oxide but now not sure if that is the best form of it. There are so many choices; kind of confusing. I would consider taking the Gingko Biloba - maybe I'll look in Whole Foods (or Whole Paycheck as we call it in the...

    Giving Up — I Just Can't Live Like This Anymore

    @jadebug I'm so sorry you're going through this rough time. So many here have been where you are. Knowing that I'm not the only one always made me feel better! However, I think your dad is right and I know that's hard to hear. Maybe leave the slightest, tiniest opening that he may be right...
