Thank you both. And thanks Glynis especially because I know how long you've been supporting people on here and how loyal you are to this cause. I do hope you're right. Perhaps it's just a 'wobble'.

How cruel it is when tinnitus returns after virtually disappearing for some months? I have been sleeping without my bedside sound system for some of January and most of February, March and April. Life had a meaning once more and I was ready to move on mentally. I've even been keeping a journal...

Thanks Glynis. The last I read about you, you were in hospital and the ears were very bad I believe. I sincerely hope things are better for you now. Is that a new picture? For me, I guess it's all been about calming down and I suppose I must expect the odd blip occasionally. I've lost so much...

Thanks Luman. Us carers deserve medals really. We have to give up everything for a loved one sometimes. I see you're in Brooklyn. When my confidence returns, I'd love to travel abroad again like I used to. I've never been to New York and I want to visit the Brooklyn Farmacy and try a real...

Thankyou.

No I didn't get ear fullness or hyperacusis. I've been exposing my ears to normal sounds of traffic/towns etc all the while. What changed was that I attempted to be calmer as a person but it has taken a long time. What helps is KNOWING that my tinnitus is NOT ear based but brain based. My...

Greetings. I have not posted here since March 2017. I had been battling (albeit) mild tinnitus after caring for my mother and the subsequent bereavement/breakdown. 3 years of hell which really started at the end of 2014. As I type this, my tinnitus is now at the point where I hardly use my...

Is tinnitus becoming more common? Will it affect a whole new generation and are tinnitus victims getting younger? How many people do you know with tinnitus? Many pubs, bars, concerts and clubs still seem to operate on the basis that louder/loudest is best. And loud music goes directly into...

Hi folks, Does anyone here have slight to mild tinnitus? By that, I mean tinnitus that is only heard in a quiet environment that is easily masked. You may even have silence at times. In which case, does it cause you great anxiety and fear even though you may only here it at night or in bed and...

Hi Mario. I'm sorry that you're going through this fear patch. Do not discount stress. Stress can cause so many things from stomach problems to skin problems. Stress is the biggest enemy of modern society. Also, look up 'Ocular Migraines'. I've had these in the past. There is no headache but...

Yes I do. Mine is also slight to mild and I also have silence at times. I only hear it in the quiet or in silence. It was brought on by the stress of caring for my sick mother then going through the bereavement 2 years ago. However, because I have OCD, depression and panic attacks, the anxiety...

Firstly, I do not want to be castigated or vilified on here simply because I have mild tinnitus. Not everyone is sympathetic even though this is a support forum. Suffering is suffering. Fear is fear. Depression is depression. I feel I'm slipping back after 2 years with tinnitus. I don't know...

See how much you've been missed Glynis? Best wishes to you. You're one tough cookie.

It's funny because I don't hear it hardly at all during the day but it's the night that worries me. Thanks for the advice though.

Why do you think your T has got worse? I've read some of your posts and I understand that you also have heart problems. It's good that you say that you're not scared of the sound any more and that you are used to it. I've been seeing a therapist and have been trying not to test and monitor my...
