    Is Tinnitus the Only Condition for Which People Blame Themselves?

    I love to vent about doctors myself. This is an incredibly frustrating condition /disease. Most of my experience with ENT's hasn't been good. At least some doctors agree that not enough is known about the causes of this at times greatly debilitating condition. I get to the point sometimes that...

    Unfortunately, lately I have been doing a lot of TV watching and find myself snacking way too much. Some gaming and it varies. Sometimes I can't find a distraction at all and then it really starts to grind me down.

    Stressed

    I just need to vent. Tinnitus has been spiking for last few days and am having a hard time coping. Can't focus, I'm irritated by everything etc. Lots of you can relate. I go to sleep wishing I will either not wake up or not hear the ringing. I guess I have to search for help. I am...

    Poll: Does Your Tinnitus Get Worse Around the Full Moon?

    My wife seems to think my tinnitus spikes when the moon is full. It may as I haven't been really keeping track of my spikes. I get miserable and depressed and am not really sure of what is going on around me. Hard enough for me to stay on task. Anyhow, has anyone else noticed if their tinnitus...

    Nice to Know I'm Not Alone

    Nice to Know I'm Not Alone

    I've been suffering from this roughly 8 or so years. I had the odd ringing previously, but it would go away quickly. And then I started feeling like I had a plugged eustachion tube. Progessive hearing loss, increased ringing in right ear. Was diagnosed with otosclerosis and after a wait of 3 and...
