Hi @DuncanCG My heart goes out to you after reading your story. It must be so awful an experience for you, personally, when your 10 years of Tinnitus seems to be nothing in comparison to your present condition. I do hope that your recent scans can help find a better way forward than what...

Hi @Mandy Are you aware of anything that might have contributed to this hissing sound that you have been experiencing, ... noise, stress, medication, ear problems, ... those sorts of things, or did it just suddenly begin? Do make an appointment with your local doctor as soon as possible ...

Hi @Rajin I don't know if this will help in any way, but my T began after being given a high dosage of an ototoxic antibiotic after a major operation. It happened within days of starting the medication, and stayed with me when I came off it. Hope things work out well for you .... you're in my...

My heart goes out to you @Apocalypse77 ... I wish I could sit alongside you and have a long chat with you, because what you say in your last post needs to be taken very seriously indeed ... Why would God make us suffer? I say that as a totally committed Christian, knowing beyond any shadow of...

Hi @Silent Shout ... Welcome on board this amazing forum! I'm so impressed with your attitude, especially as you are coming through that natural sense of depression and anxiety, which I'm pretty sure we all experienced at the onset of our tinnitus. Do stay with us, as you will find so many...

Hi @Bob94 ... Just wanted you to know that you are still in our thoughts and prayers. Our hearts go out to you, and as you say, do try to relax as much as you can. Just one more thing ... never stop believing in miracles! Take lots of care ................................... Paul

Hi @Bob94 & welcome to the forum! Yes, I agree with you 100% ... the members here are indeed such special people. Not only do they have their own individual things to deal with, daily, but they are also determined to help others who are in need of help on their own journey with tinnitus. I...

Absolute pleasure, Michael!

Hi @Odell ... Just by reading your posts, above, it's easy to sense the difficult times that you are going through right now ... but please do take to heart the wise things that @Michael Leigh suggests ... things that we've all found ourselves having to do, in order to deal with our T You...

It's not the end by any means @mathewfromcanada ... really!! I'm pretty sure that each one of us in those early stages went through similar depressive thoughts and feelings that you are experiencing now. @Vicki14 is so right when she says that you still have your whole life ahead of you, and...

Dear @Wojtek Kalka .... With the greatest of respect, it strikes me that you are displaying an extremely destructive spirit, which strives to put down anything that doesn't link in with your point of view, by naming any other opposing views as a 'religion'. Can you not see, that your global...

Hi @Wojtek Kalka ...I am a Christian and I couldn't agree with you more in what you say about 'religions'! Religions are for people who wish to live their lives abiding by a set of rules, whereas true Christianity is not about rules at all ... it's about saying 'yes' in order to enter into a...

Hi @compressorman ... my heart goes out to you after all that you've been through, mainly due to the irresponsibility of a professional doctor. But I'm sure your warning will help many people who find themselves in a similar situation. Does your acoustic neuoroma sound as if it happening in...

Hi TiredOfT ... I know that I can speak for all the members above, when I say that you are indeed in a safe place, and that we truly welcome you amongst us ... and believe me, it's a welcome that you could never wear out! Blessings to you and your husband for what you are both having to go...

Thoughts and prayers are with you Laura, hope what you're suffering is only temporary. You have certainly come to the right place for great advice ... and you will meet-up with such kind and helpful people who know exactly what you are going through right now. So stay tuned ... and keep in...

Hi TheProprietress. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time in your life. Of course, we all have our unique stories as to how we started with tinnitus, but we're all pretty much suffering the same kind of thing. At this stage in your journey there is the possibility that it might not...

Hi Jess! You are a great pearl of wisdom as well as a great confidence booster ... It's so good to hear from you. I do appreciate what you say about trying not to draw attention to it ... Many years ago, my wife and I had very noisy neighbours, and the best way we found of dealing with the...

Hi Jess! What an incredibly kind-hearted person you are to offer your experiences over your life-time on how you have handled your tinnitus. That will be such an enormous help to so many people who are wondering just how to deal with the frightening onset of tinnitus, as well as those of us...

Well done, snow47 ... I agree with you, because what you say is true: ... all of these people are amazing! Yes, all of these people on your Forum have a great big heart for you, and that is why they are writing to you ... They want you to know that they, too, have been through every part of...

Spot on, MikeP505 ... So True!!!

This is all excellent advice being offered to you, Snow47 ... from people who have been through their personal agonies, and come out the other side ... Please do listen to these good people! We have all felt like you do now ... But however hopeless it might seem right now, never, never give-up!

Snow47 ... believe me, you are already walking down the road to a better future! That road can very often feel like a very long road ... and for me it has almost taken 1 year to feel 'normal' again. My tinnitus is still there if I listen-out for it, but for 99% of the time, it is just in the...

Wise words, Userhx35543 ... I utterly agree when you say that 'the more that you think about it, the more it will consume every second of your life'... Some years ago, my wife and I lived next door to some very noisy neighbours. At first when they moved in our lives became a misery. If ever I...

Hi TrentW76 ... Good to hear from you again! Do keep checking-in to this site ... I'm sure you'll find lots of friends who understand exactly what you are going through. You know, I was exactly the same as you because before this all happened to me, I very rarely thought about people with...

Hi TrentW76 ... I just wanted to get back to you with a quick reply, to tell you that your post has been read and that your voice has been heard! In no way whatsoever am I a medical adviser, but there are so many examples of people who are linked to this network and would say that stress makes...

Hi ibelievetoo Just wanted to take a few moments to say that you will be well taken care of at this Forum, because there are so many people who have experienced what you are now going through and they just want to offer you help and assistance whenever they can. Glynis and billie48 are spot-on...

Hi Maria How wonderful ... you are now on my prayer-list ... and it will be my pleasure to keep you in my prayers! Yes, with me it just took time. It's almost one year ago since mine started after having a major operation. I have a feeling that it came about after I caught an infection and the...

Hi Maria Thanks for your question about the 'prayer list'. Whenever I say my personal prayers, then of course I will say a prayer for you ... as well as all the other people who suffer from T&H, because that is something that lies heavy on my heart. But when I meet-up with my friends, so...

Hi Maria! So pleased that you have joined the Forum and decided to send us your precious story. Of course, every story is unique, but each one of us goes through the same sense of pain, stress, anxiety and desperation at one time or another. We have all worried about what our future life will...

Hi Givemeabrak1 I just wish to say that you have my total respect for having been through this experience for 40 years. You must have so much to give to people like me, who is a relative newcomer in comparison to yourself. Would you be offended if I said that you are in my prayers? ... You are...

Hi 400runner ... A very warm welcome to you! Although my T came about through very different circumstances to yours, I totally understand the hurt that you must have gone through, especially when the people whom we put our hope and trust in turn round and say things like: 'There's much worse...

Hi Kim ... it's an absolute pleasure! That's the way it is with TT Forum ... you're already developing contacts who know just how you feel ... They will be your support whenever you need that extra lift and understanding ... but they will also be your companions whenever you wish to share any...

Hi Kim ... It's such a heart-rending story that you tell about your struggles with T over the past two and a half years ... thank you for that. I'm not medically able to advise you in any way, but I do wish to say how brave and resilient you are at putting-up with your condition, especially at...

Hi Guest9201 ... I did follow your piece all the way through, because that's the story which is important and precious to you. I'm afraid I can't offer any medical advice, but I can offer you complete assurance that you are not on your own. Tinnitus Talk is an excellent forum and I'm so glad...

Hi Dave ... I'm certainly not the right person to give you any medical guidance with regards to your type of T experience or prognosis, but I can show support and understanding for what you are going through. As Blackbird26 says, above, you've got through it once before and you can do it again...

Hi David ... so pleased that you spent time introducing yourself ... and I'm sure we all welcome you amongst us. I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this right now, but you sound very positive along your journey ... and I'm sure you can be a great encourager to many others. T is...

Hi Janevit ... it's obviously an extremely difficult time that you are going through right now. I'm pretty sure that most of us have experienced that initial sense of panic, which cuts through the whole of our lives ... where every moment is taken-up with only being able to focus on that...

Hi Janjo ... very kind of you to post your individual story with T, including all the details that have affected your life, as well as your husbands. As billie48 says, above, you strike me as having a marvellous attitude to help get you through all this. So has the T in your left ear got worse...

Hi Thomas! ... you truly are amongst friends, kind-hearted and very supportive friends. As you can see above, from Karen's reply and Brian's reply, you will discover friends who totally understand what you are experiencing at this moment in time. Friends who will always reach-out to offer help...

A warm welcome to you, Martijn! I do hope all goes well with your hearing problem in the near future ... but nevertheless, you are amongst an incredibly warm and caring group of people who completely understand every inch of your journey ... stay with them and you will receive excellent advice...

Hi Karen! ... thanks so much for your very kind & useful reply. Yes, we share some history, there, don't you think?! Thank you for pointing me to the list of ototoxic drugs ... I'll certainly make good use of that information in the future! ... My doctor had her own list of medications that...

Hi Ryan ... Yes, mine was also very recent ... & I just want to encourage you with your wonderful ambition ..... you are so right when you say that most people don't understand how horrible tinnitus really is ... & the awful thing, Ryan, is that I think I was also one of those people! ... it's...

My pleasure, Ryan ... thanks for such a speedy reply ... could I say that you are showing such great maturity in how you are handling all this ... I know, it's such a shock to the system when it first starts & you wonder where on earth it all came from ... but there are lots of good people here...

Hi Ryan ... I understand just how much anguish you are going through right now ... wondering whether it's going to affect you for the long-term or, hopefully, only for a short time ... the sort of answers that we are all trying to figure-out, here at Tinnitus Talk ... but the great thing is, you...

Massive big 'Thank You' to billie48 and Karen! I've just read both your replies to my 1st Day of Introduction at TTalk ... & what an amazing day it has been. There's a part of me that wishes I were the only person in the world suffering from T ... but knowing that you were there before me and...
