Well @Amelia hopefully Gary's post above will really encourage you. x

Hi @Amelia, so sorry to hear you are so unwell at the moment and I wish you a speedy recovery. I have not been on here in a long while, but I decided to login to tell my T family that after going through a very very tough time last Christmas and New Year and having a nervous breakdown, I've...

I have been keeping a diary lately - not solely for T - but I just put a little entry in each day that says "loud t" or "t hardly noticeable", etc, and I find it helps me to see all the times that it has been so much better so that when I get a spike I can be reassured that I can have periods of...

My son is 21, does dj-ing sometimes (stupidly loud), wears his iPod earphones on his scooter to work and has now just put an expensive sound system in his car. I've warned him several times that I do not want him to go through what I've been through but he is not taking it seriously. Then low...

Yes @Steve that's definitely it's main attraction.

Yesterday, I visited The New Forest National Park newforestnpa.gov.uk in Hampshire, England. I realise a lot of TT members live outside the UK so you may not know which area I am referring to. It is a very beautful, unspoilt area that has an abundance of wildlife. While I was there I visited...

@Amelia and @demi I totally get you about the negative comments outweighing the positive sometimes. When I first joined TT I found it incredibly helpful and positive, but when I was having a really bad time a couple of months ago, I had to stop logging in because I just found it too negative. It...

Hi @Saif it does not affect my hearing at all, funnily enough.

My ENT specialist referred me to the Tinnitus Team for Sound Enrichment Therapy. This consists of being fitted with masking devices and also having some CBT (to change negative thoughts about Tinnitus). I have had quite a journey with Tinnitus since it returned in October 2013. It came back...

Hi. I was put on Alimemazine 10mg which is an old style antihistamine. It's non-addictive and often given to kids with sleeping and/or behavioural problems. I took it while I was still up watching telly, and about an hour later, I got up to make a drink and thought my legs would give way. It had...

Hi all, this week Tinnitus is getting a bit of attention in the media which is great. Go to http://www.actiononhearingloss.org.uk/ for lots of useful information, help and support.

Hi @Matty I will be thinking of you and praying. All the best.

I am due to be fitted with maskers soon. Glad to hear positive news about them.

Thanks Thomas - an amazing journey! Can I just ask though, how do you manage to accept the loud tinnitus at night? I am taking sleeping tablets at the moment and definitely don't want to get addicted. Once you've changed your mindset does it just follow that sleep returns to normal?
