Just re read this and thought i would add some bits; 1. CBT teaches you to address ur thoughts and rephrase them in a more helpful way. This helped a lot! I rarely now have negative thoughts at all. 2. You have to not think negatively about tinnitus ... tell urself its just a natural noise...

So I haven't posted for a long time ... but I have lurked in the background occasionally! I feel this will be the last time I will post ... and I want to try help and reassure others. If you get chance look at my previous threads ... they shock me and I wrote them! Brief story; January 19th...

Thank you so much for your kind replies. I am doing fine physically after the c section. I really haven't given that side of thing much thought and I've healed perfectly. My son is just perfect - life would be perfect if the T wasn't here. I have desperately been looking for success stories of...

Hi I've done three ... all were in normal limits. I had glue ear in right side years ago which was corrected with a grommet and haven't had so much as an ear ache since. Pressure test was normal so no fluid behind ear drum now.

Hi Danika. I'm feeling really low ... hoping just the initial reaction to increasing meds. I'm terrified that the meds are making my T worse! But I have to get an anti depressant into my system or I'm not gonna make it! :,( ... I'm hoping it just seems worse but isn't .... so many mixed...

Thank you for your kind replies. Everyone believes my T is anxiety and stress related. I struggled with anxiety through my pregnancy.. terrified something bad would happen. The last 6 weeks were awful and looking back I was depressed. I had terrible digestive issues and could barely eat and...

Hello again I'm so desperate I just don't know what to do or where to turn. Brief circs; developed tinnitus 18th Jan out of nowhere whilst 36 wks pregnant. Admitted to hospital and slept few hours due with temazepam as couldn't cope with it ... my precious baby delivered by emergency c section...

How long ago was that? Do you still have?

Hello I'm fine after the procedure. I didn't care about my physical condition at all. I have obsessed over the tinnitus! ;,( Xx

Hello I have previously posted about getting tinnitus out of the blue at 36 weeks pregnant. Four weeks later and it's still here. I'm on a roller coaster ... I have seen many doctors and embarrassingly have to be monitored by a mental health team now (never had mental health issues before). I am...

Hi Danika I developed tinnitus at 36 weeks pregnant. I couldn't sleep (hadn't slept in weeks beforehand due to anxiety and discomfort) ... I had an emergency c section at 37 and a half weeks. My baby is 3 weeks old tomorrow and I still have tinnitus ;( I'm trying to stay strong and trying to...

Thanks all I now just lay my phone on my pillow low using the sound apps. I have seen three ENT consultants as was treated as a priority due to my pregnancy; the first said three weeks ago slight retraction to eat drums will probably be ok when baby born ... relax. The second said two and a...

Thanks Mike. I used them briefly for two nights ... I wasn't putting the one in that was on the pillow apart from this one time. It was the lowest volume and ocean waves only ... I am desperately hoping I haven't caused damage :( I'm not coping very well

Hi all. As per my previous posts I have had tinnitus for 4 weeks since (came on out of nowhere whilst 36 weeks pregnant). Am hugely struggling with it ... I listen to ocean waves from YouTube or apps to help me sleep at night. A few days ago I fell asleep with in ear earphones in with my ocean...

My partner believes I need to stabilise my mood with the anti depressants and that then I will be strong enough to deal with things ... I just don't know whether to persevere but could make it worse! I decided today to cut to 15 but apparently that is just for sleep and is not therapeutic :(
