Maybe bill, but most people with t do go onto habituate, which may suggest it is mentally driven rather than physically driven? That tiny fraction of sufferers who cannot habituate (I think it is about 1 or 2 percent) do not necessarily have the "loudest" t, in fact studies have shown that...

Yep, in May 2016 I spontaneously came down with tinnitus (I blame years of using Dre Beats headphones too loud, playing my guitars and also working in manufacturing). I know there are some success stories of tinnitus going away for some, but for me it hasn't. I know I have it for life, am I...

Lol, dude, your life is not over. Recovery or not, the abnormal just becomes the normal and t will no longer trigger those negative feelings. Accept you now have it and you need to manage it. By managing it I don't mean life changing methods, just limit any loud noise exposure you may have (no...

On this site for the first time this year

Good to hear it's getting better. I too got spontaneous tinnitus 1 yr ago, but mine never went away. I wish you all the best with your recovery, recovery or not, either way, try taking zinc and anti oxidants before any exposure to loud events (being a musician). They are glutamate antagonists...

is 3 months in and my T isn't any better or any worse. I know it won't go so I just hope it doesn't get worse.

Hey! Thanks for the follow! Did you know that makes you the only T acquaintance I have in life aha. Hope you're doing ok.

Hey all, Quick update on me . . For anyone that is interested first . . My T came on suddenly from doing the valsalva to clear a blocked Eustachian tube - May 21st, 2016. I was initially depressed and angry, bought heaps of anti oxidants and vitamins and was feeling pretty down and out. I...

Habituation for me is just accepting that I have T. Sure, I can always hear my T but I don't always focus on it. Even when I do focus on it, so what? It triggers no emotional response, it's completely as natural as the sun shining on my arm or something.

If you now plan to stay awake for the whole day, could you now go to work? You could always go back home if needs be? At least you're boss will be able to see how much distress you're in?

Secondally, tinnitus has indeed made me a stronger person. It has made me realise that external rejection is sometimes only achieved through inner acceptance. #Habituation #MindOverMatter.

Yes, you're right, I was very anxious to "fix" my situation. But I have now just come to peace with it all after an entire week of constant reflection. Now, my T doesn't seem as bothersome as it was when it first came on. I feel for those who have T as a symptom of deep rooted health cause...

I really do believe that the volume and pitch of tinnitus is not (only? Necessarily?) the detrimental factor of habituation? I think it is more so to do with acceptance of one's condition? From what I have read here, those who are struggling to habituate are the ones who are generally anxious...

For me it has made me have no fear and made me waaaaay less serious about things (in a good way. I no longer feel the need to compare my life with my peers etc). I am only 26 and have developed this. In terms of a soccer match, I guess that means I am 4-0 down after 30 minutes? Fooook it, let's...
