Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

The good news is you'll most likely get to a point where it doesn't get you down too much. That's where I'm at after about a year and a half.

yes I completely understand.. I havent noticed my T for the last 15 years . Until a month ago when my doc put me on statins . only took 5 .I'm back to 20 years ago . my normal lovely life has gone too .

I try not to think about my T before covid. It makes me so mad at the T now lol

@Marshall cause this is my 2nd bout with T shall we say (worsening). Feel shitty that I actually lost something I could handle no probs (old T) lol my anxiety to it has lessened, hell I can sleep without masking now! Just having a pity party and thinking how stupid I was last year to get myself here today :-/

@judith west sorry to here that too. Its a minefield when it comes to taking drugs with T. Hope you are well despite it?

@SamRosemary has it lessened at all? Are you able to mask? Do sounds still sound loud? Sorry to bombard with question's?
Im at work having a little break lol

It's fluctuating so much all the time it's hard to pinpoint what's even going on at this point. I tried crickets a few nights and not sure if that helped. Doing dishes seems to mask the most. Yeah there's still sound sensitivity and reaction to certain pitch. Like when I spray plants the bottle spray noise makes my ears go crazy and they feel and sound all twitchy.

Yea, T V2.0's a real wheeze :--)

What happened that caused the worsening..?

@Ondine me? headphones amitriptyline and a load of chronic stress all at once. I dont remember my T getting louder till after amitriptyline. I wish I'd never taken it but too late now eh.

I noticed you said somewhere too the first time you got H you just didn't know too much about it and you carried on and it went away. To me, there has to been SOMETHING with our mental piece and how we react to all this crap that affects it. Like I wonder if I wouldn't have lost it when this came on and completely halted my life and became afraid of so much, would it actually be better now than it is? Who knows.
