Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

I know this is such a nightmare. I'm hoping with a little time and rest from noise things will improve. I already had to leave a couple places due to sensitivity. I just can't imagine living the next couple of years like this. I love traveling, I go to Aruba every year. It's so heart breaking :/

How was your night?

Do you have anyone with you helping you through this? My mom was staying with me but she's leaving this week.

Yeah, it just feels so limiting. My night was okay, hope yours was as well.

I've been staying with family when the T started and still am. I do need to go back to NYC soon, though.

Have you ever had it before this episode?

I miss the city, I miss my life ;(

Hi @tbuzz89 ! Just wondering if you are taking NAC and if it's had any affect? I'm not sure if I want to add more pills to my arsenal! I lived in Hartsdale for a while - my husband was born in Yonkers! Not quite the city, but I really miss his family! :)

I had a very mild background noise in quiet rooms for years but it never bothered me since I couldn't hear anything 99.9% of the time. Over the last 5 years or so I'd get fleeting tinnitus about once a month but that's pretty common.

@LilSass I've been taking NAC daily for the last 10 or so days. I'm not sure if it's helping or not. Hartsdale is nice! That whole area north of NYC is great. I'm from Long Island but always loved Westchester.

I never had any kind of t before this, no warning, nothing!

Are we ever going to get our lives back... even if we do, they'll never be the same. I don't know about you but I'm traumatized.

I was born in Port Chester!

@tbuzz89 how are you?

@Tara Lyons the last two days have been difficult. Not handling the T well and lots of depression/anxiety. My high pitch T follows the rhythm of my heartbeat which makes it so difficult to get used to.

How are you?

I feel the same. Feel free to private message me if you want. I get how you feel

Hey @tbuzz89! Do you think it might be pulsatile? Has it settled at all? Thinking of you :)

@LilSass I'm not sure, but since the start this buzzing tone has moved with my heartbeat. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to tell her that - at this point I think I'm ready and willing to get every test possible. Thanks :)

I think that's a great idea! I know for myself I need to explore every possibility - then at least I know I did my best. If it's something that can be improved then we need to do it. Best of luck at the doctors!

Hi @tbuzz89 ! How did it go at the dr?
