Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

did'nt you have a large reduction in your T recently?
dpdx
Yes, but T is not bothersome as TMJ/ETD.
TheDanishGirl
So it is the TMJ/ETD that you are bothered by?
dpdx
TheDanishGirlKD, Tinnitus will get BETTER trust me. What is blocking people from getting better is because they listen to it and focus on it. Block it out, distract your mind, if you distract your mind the brain pushes it in the back.
TMJ/ETD are another thing altogether. They are awful as they cause me ear pain and ear pressure. It is horrible. If i didnt have them i would have moved on with my life.
TheDanishGirl
Im sorry to hear that, I didnt know TMJ/ETD was painful like that :/ Im not sure it will get better for me anymore, I cant seem to take my focus away from it :(

TheDanishGirlKD is your T on both ears or one? How many sounds? Can you hear it over TV? I can only hear it in quiet rooms and its easily maskable. How is your H? is that improving?
TheDanishGirl
Both ears, 2 sounds sometimes 3 and yes it can be heard over the tv, my H is the same as when it started.
dpdx
Yours is more severe than mine, it will take time. Time is the best medicine.
I cant stand ETD, it is awful as hell. I also want to fix my TMJ as that can cause problems in the future.

These health issues are oppressive.
TheDanishGirl
Im hoping to habituate someday, I could maybe believe it if I did not have horrible benzo withdrawal/tapering to "look forward to" :( it will probably make the T worse then it is, sigh!
dpdx
You will get better. I bet by the end of 2018 you will be habituated. I still have lots more to go with these health issues.
TheDanishGirl
I really hope you will be right about that
dpdx
how long have you had T and H for?
TheDanishGirl
T almost 7 months, H for 6 months
