Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

Would like you to post a detailed thread on the sound therapy you are using

@Jackson Brady I firmly believe a big part of what feeds reactive tinnitus is our emotional response to sound. Think about it, ppl with reactive t are almost always in a state of panic and despair. Is it going to ever go away? "Is this my life forever? Omg what was that sound? My life is over!" …All this negative thinking I see now, constantly feeds some aspect of the reactiveness

I'll give a example last night I was reading a new book i just ordered and out of no where some kids lit a series of loud fireworks close by my front yard. I stopped reading and said "damn that was loud!!" Then immediately went back to reading like nothing happened with no spike or reactivity. Yea the sound was loud as hell but I knew worrying would only feed the reactiveness

And I told myself I was inside so I possibly took 89ish Decibels. I'm not saying 100% of emotional response is what causes reactive tinnitus to react. but in my opinion it's one of the main benefactors that constantly feeds the negative emotional response to sound. I don't see myself being around here much longer but I'm trying to help as I learn

@Sammy0225 i also believe this negative brain loop can be brought down by sound therapy, i'm going to check out @Coffeebean 's posts about it as you recommended and also keep a positive mindset.
Right now i'm more bothered by my H than i am by my T tho.

@Jackson Brady definitely man, rinse,wash and repeat you have to break that cycle and yea @Coffeebean has good info. Not gonna lie man sound therapy has been a game changer. Confident you can do it just listen to your body If noise sounds to loud step away sound therapy should sound soothing and relaxing

@Sammy0225 you only use tap and natural sounds as therapy?
