Hey there Alue - I am talking after onset to prevent it from developing into a problem. Of course people that work in noisy environments are recommended to wear hearing protection, too, but that was not what I was referring to. Sorry that this wasn't clearer - it's been some years since I last...

The Norwegian TRT principles indicate that the most important thing you can do to PREVENT tinnitus from developing into a problem is to seek information. But, it is critical that you read the "right" kind of information. I find this difficult, so to be sure I have tried not to read too much...

T is hard work, it's brutal, it's invading, it prevents you from doing what you feel you should be doing. Even though I am not able to lay this out as well as @linearb did, I really want to remind you to make sure that you try your best to reduce anxiety and reduce stress. THAT IS DOING THINGS...

Hang in there, and here I know the amount of information and the level of anxiety in the early stages are quite a handful, but please try to stay focused on the hope and chance that you either will get better or at least manage to cope with T better. On my good days I manage to be thankful that...

i signed up yesterday, but all information in the email you receive is in swedish... might be nice to know before signing up. good for us scandinavians anyway....

I so relate to some of the things you are saying. That you don't have a year to get better, that you need to focus on your job and family, for instance. but what choice do we have? tinnitus throws itself at you, what do you do? You fight it. Sure it tiresome, it takes time and time is something...

Dear @hopeforhappiness - i am sorry to read your story, and to hear about your struggles. Then again, we are many that relate to your story. In the battle against tinnitus knowledge is power. The main reason T becomes a problem is because of the anxiety and depression that follows the sound...

Sorry to hear about your situation. There are several things I would recommend that you do. First and foremost, try to make sure that you sleep enough during the nights already now. Even though you are used to sleeping in silence, you will manage to fall asleep to a soothing or relaxing...

I don't believe that it is recommended to block out the tinnitus entirely. I use sound generators in my TRT to help habituate to the tinnitus sound, and have really grown used to not masking or blocking, but to make my tinnitus sort of blend in with for example this fan-sound. Luckily for me my...

Oh, wow. Thank you SO so much for taking the time to encourage me, to prove to me that actually i am not alone in this. i think there is much to learn from TRT and try as best as i can to stay on the right track. and then there are other times when i let myself feel a little like i did when i...

Thanks alot, LadyDi, for your reply and all your information. I will most definitely hang in there and do the things that they recommend. The tricky bit is, there is little follow-up. I feel like I am my own therapist. Perhaps it would be worth it to see a therapist in cognitive behaviourism...

after looking onto marquallers testimonial above, i feel the need to mention some aspects from the norwegian health care. In short, we pay for our health care and social welfare system over taxes. That means that for me now being a T sufferer, the major part of all treatment, even generators and...

I will certainly share ups and downs. It is actually quite helpful just to acknowledge that today it today, and tomorrow is a new day.

I first heard about TRT march 15, but I was more just explained the basic principles of it, at not so much the mental part of it. I participate in a 3x3 day programme that started in sept 15 and will end jan 16. I think you are right to indicate that i need to keep up the good work and to be...

Alue, thanks for your thoughts. Since my T is nowhere to be found by the ENTs, my coping of T at least is literally in my head. I dom't think writing these posts really helps in any way, long term. We are all supposed to put focus on other sides of the life, and to habituate to the sound and...

Hi. The ENT willl probably chevk your hearing to see if the two things you mention have caused any hearing loss. I really want to thank you for sharing your story. It is good to know that it is possible to have T but to not be bothered. I am trying to get there myself.

I am aware of the missing conclusion. That, in fact, is where my biggest issue is. I'm not the most patient person in the world, and as i believe that the T bothers me more now that it did before i started TRT I sometimes worry that what i do is wrong. i am not done TRTing and am not ready to...

My T became a daily companion august 2014. I work as a legal advisor and i remember that my first major issue with T was the loss of concentration and short term memory. I am so glad that i did 't know back then what a journey that lay ahead of me. If someone told me then that 17 months onwards...

i so want to be able to help you, but the history you are sharing is too far from my own to be recommending you to do or to not do. But I would most definitely encourage you to try and sort out both your possible post-traumatic stress disorder, and the stress and anxiety that you experience. T...
