Congratulations on the 9 years. Thanks again for sharing your successful strategy. Regards, Phil

Keep going, you'll get there. Regards, Phil

If it's a negative thought I guess I hear Terry's voice (I who love music) from his video saying "I don't hear my tinnitus" and sort of gives a lift. I don't think mine is / was as bad as his though so I keep going. Kind Regards, Phil

Terry's tinnitus is pretty bad as I understand. Here is his testimony and method explained:

Terry and his Back to Silence mindfulness helped me learn to cope in my early days of onset of tinnitus 5 years ago. There are definitely better days ahead. Regards, Phil

Hi Deb, I thought it would never work because as soon as I made a response there it was again, but persevered and slowly Tinnitus bothered less. May be partly habituation mainly getting weary of Tinnitus controlling you. I don't know. The responses became further apart as Terry says. Also you...

I followed Terry's Back to Silence and just said how I felt good or bad, make a note with a pencil in the book. So you concentrate how you feel not the noise. Terry will confirm. Good luck. Best Wishes Phil

Hi Glynis. Wish you all the very best, thanks for your help in the past, and for better times ahead. Kind Regards Phil_O

Takes time but keep going, when it starts to work try not to then listen out for the tinnitus. Best wishes Phil

@derpytia , Thinking of you, I know it's not easy but don't let the the T bully win. Best Wishes Phil

I'm no expert but T does seems all consuming and frightening at onset and a very dark place. Positive stories on here and help from knowledgeable kind people does show there is life after T. As a certain Doctor and former contributor once said "Don't let T drive your bus". Although I agree it's...

Plenty of great support here from members, check out @I who love music 's Back to Silence. This helped me and as far as I understand others beat the T bully. Best Wishes Phil

Have to agree about Toyota. We are on our 3rd Toyota Yaris. The current one is 2012 the othere 2005 and 2001. All have been very reliable, Regards Phil

Hi @coffee_girl. As one Dr and former TT contributor once said to me "Don't let T drive your bus". A phrase I remember from some years ago, albeit easier said than done sometimes. I have found a great deal of help too from TT. Good luck and Best Wishes Phil

Hi @TheDanishGirl I am in a much better place than when my T started about 3 years ago. Especially grateful to all the experienced members on here who kindly pass on their help, coping strategies, and advice freely. Too many to mention. Not to forget the guys who make the site. I thought it...

Hi @Rosemerry Good luck. Make T unimportant in your life. Best Wishes Phil

Hi @Pomme, @billie48 has given some great advice. I (and many more) felt like you on first onset, panic, fear and despair, but you will get through this although it takes time. WNGs are a help, and also try this from Terry aka @I who love music...

Hi @Rosemerry , Terry aka @I who love music is a hero. I've found the method helps you to feel empowered to do something positive and push T into the background. It may there but you don't listen to it, and then as you get on with your life the more it goes into the background. It does take time...

Hi @Bex274 Could be the anxiety. Here's an interesting article:- “Stress is the main thing that affects tinnitus. Tinnitus is generated in the part of the brain called the Limbic system. The Limbic system controls our emotions: love, hate, fear etc and these all involve STRESS. Stress feeds...

Hi @Sen Had a bit of a spike the other day. Own fault setting up a PA system, forgot to set the gain/ volume control to off! Instant earache, usually so careful, have ear defenders everywhere. Fortunately settled down after a few days, so you should be ok in a short while. Best wishes Phil

Hi @Budger608. Just seen your post too. Read Michael's testimony and check this out from Terry. Both helped me lots. Best wishes Phil https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/back-to-silence.7172/

Hi @TheDanishGirl Listen to @Zug @Michael Leigh , @glynis and the others. Read the success stories and try @I who love music 's Back to silence. We have all been there, you will overcome this, albeit takes time. Best wishes Phil

Hi @Quiet please. Saw this comment the other day somewhere, could have been on here :- Stress is the main thing that affects tinnitus. Tinnitus is generated in the part of the brain called the Limbic system. The Limbic system controls our emotions: love, hate, fear etc and these all involve...

Hi @amymilly , had a spike recently set off being too near a loud PA system. lasted a few days. Initially set off reminders of early onset panic, but as I relaxed and calmed down returned to baseline. I do have behind ear white noise generators set just below the T to help distract. Read...

It is crazy but keep reading the positive stories on here, Billie48. Michael Leigh and Terrys aka @I who love music "Back to Silence" method. It's one of the proactive way to help get through this. I'm 2 years on and managing much better than at onset. Best wishes Phil

Hi Check out @Michael Leigh notes about computer use. this may help. Best wishes Phil

Hi @Zug Well done!

@Marie79 Absolutely know exactly how you feel. I use @I who love music 's Back to Silence method , it takes time , determination and patience, but does help. When it works it's magic there is a strong temptation to listen for T! And this is definitely a bad habit to break. Sometimes I still use...

Hi @denise w. Don't be too disappointed if BTS takes a while. After several months I am down to 15 -20 responses a day and the responses are less depressive, sad, nervous and anxious. The fact you can do the BTS method makes you feel hopeful and gives you something proactive to do. There will be...

Hi @denise w. Thanks for the reply. Here's a direct link to the new back to silence video. It's hard to explain, it does take time, and how it works I don't know, but it's a good place to start to feeling better. Kind regards Phil

Hi @Sue2 I understand how you feel. I do not go out so much since onset of T, including to church. I think T takes your confidence and independence. As well as using Back to Silence method I find I still use my behind ear white noise generators. It also helps put T more into the background. Hope...

Hi @Bobby B @I who love music That's my problem exactly. When the method starts to do its magic I get lazy and let the T volume thoughts back in. Need to be more resolute. Regards Phil

Hi @I who love music That's the hard bit. When you get a glimmer of success there's a great temptation to check to see if it has actually gone. The worst time seems to be on awakening in a morning when you are off guard. What we are doing seems to me like the computer equivalent of creating an...

Hi @I who love music, Is he trying to say it's no longer a 'sauce' of concern?:) Regards Phil

Hi @Natalie Roberts I have followed your story and if you keep to your strategy of mindfulness / CBT you will be fine. My inspiration is @I who love music who shows there's light at the end of the tunnel with his brand of mindfulness. Although it takes time. Wishing you every happiness for the...
