    Still Struggling With Tinnitus After Five Months. Is This Normal?

    Best way is to accept it and do not look for improvements. If you re access your Tinnitus everyday, you are constantly reminding yourself of the problem. This will bring on stress, anxiety, depression, anger and disappointment. Acceptance is hard but it's the only way. We all know there are no...

    @NeoM Thanks for the valuable information Yes I'm going through a lot of anxiety right now, but I'm one who refuse to take a pill to mask it. I know once the effect of the pill is gone my reality will come back. It's such a vicious cycle. I don't take anything for anything unless I truly have...

    @NeoM Did your headaches suddenly disappeared or how did you managed it to stop?

    If I have to describe it, I would choose tension. It kinda creeps on me. It can start off as a pulse. It's almost like an on and off switch from the top right or top left. It can strike anytime. Sometime it does become a full blown headache. Sometime it starts at the temple area too. It doesn't...

    Susan I don't remember if he referred it to "white matter" spots, I think he just said white spots. They are kinda round and about half a size of a pea. They are in front of the brain left and right area. I did some researched online and it could be a number of things ranging from tumor, MS...

    I'm Wondering If This Is Hyperacusis or Phonophobia

    Again on this thumping issue. Does it feel like a nerve shock to your ear or is like a low pitch thump. Mine feels like a shock to my inner ear. I get it sometime to certain high pitch noises; metal hitting metal, children yelling, certain voices and sometime my own voice, but usually while I am...

    Hyperacusis and Headaches

    Are you sure your H gets worse because of your headache, or your headache gets worse because of H? I believe my headache gets worse because of my H. It brings me more stress and in turn gives me bad headaches. As far as age being a factor, that I am not sure.

    I'm Wondering If This Is Hyperacusis or Phonophobia

    Kissing a boyfriend would most likely thump. I would try to avoid that at all cost :)

    I'm Wondering If This Is Hyperacusis or Phonophobia

    Can you describe how the thumping feels like? Do you feel the thumping when hearing your own voice and or hear something real softly like a crick or crack at night while you trying to sleep. Also is there certain time of the day where it is worse?

    @Susan Henderson I'm happy to know that they got rid of your tumor and there isn't any new growth. Yeah just not knowing if you have one lying inside your brain somewhere can be very worrisome. I could probably shop around for a cheaper scan but I really wanted to know as soon as possible. I...
