Can't find anything to get excited about!! Nothing about tinnitus here☹

Anyone tried Tinnitool? Don't know what to do next. Seem to be running out of options. Driving me to drink dangerous amounts of alcohol...

My only relief now is alcohol. Every day the same trip to yhe pub to load up and drink it of my mind. Can't see me getting any relief otherwise. Just ringing and whistling all thevtime 24/7. Only relief is the pub. Mu marriage on the verge of collapse.

Thank you so muchJohn. That has indeed lifted me. Thanks pal. X

Thanks guys. Pickin on my acoustic guitar now. Chase em sounds away!! Cy.

Hi all, Been away for a while. How are you all feeling with this wretched "T". Mine last weeken very bad but had not taken my antidepressants cos I OD'd with last month's prescription.....used em up too fast Thinking of y'all. Stay strong. Cy PS: I'll never touch an electric guitar again.!!!

I understand that Korean Red Ginseng is also effective and can be got on line.

Google it.You can get it on line.

I saw one doctor who was conducting a trial that he did not expect it to work at all as the T is so complex and everyone's condition is different.

But only if you've had for between 8 and 12 months!

Apreciated. The high pitch seems to getting louder these. The anti depressants I think are just about keeping me sane.

Oh man that's good to hear! Cy

Thanks svg. Appreciate that a lot. Many thank. Cy

Thanks svg. That has lifted me. Thanks friend. Very best, Cy.

Nice to hear from you. T is more noticable this am. Had a fairly good day yesterday but back big time now. Keep strong you too Gary. Best wishes.

Thanks Richard. I've had T for about 8 years. Habituation is a strange thing. You think you're there and it all goes pear shaped. Trying hard not to OD on beer but it's difficult.

Thank you Erik. Much appreciated words. Happy Friday to you.

Absolutely. Knowing you're not alone is huge! Had a better night last night. T does not seem quite so severe but it's still noticeable. I take ear plugs with me everywhere these days as you never know when you'll be exposed to high noise levels

Thanks for the kind words Carlos. Just gone 10pm here in UK. Going to have an early night. Had two beers only tonight no benzos. See if I can beat this thing. Cheers mate.

loose that, we have lost. Thanks a lot and God bless you guys

Thanks Sailboardman and billie48. Can't tell you how much this has helped me....knowing that otheres are going through the same thing. Nice to hear that Autifony are having pleasing results. Let's hope then. I

Thing are getting worse. My T is driving me almost to distraction and I don not think that I can suffer much more of this torment. I have lost all hope especially after reading that a cure may be as far away as 100 years. I used to offer support on these threads but it has just grinded my whole...

Please don't get too optimistic about a T cure. The neurological complexities are huge because each case of T is a different neurological episode and as such will need significant investment for research.

Hi all. Great responses amd thanks very much. I think things sre gettimg a bit more bearable. Celebrated 25 yrs married life today and really enjoyed T didn't seem to infringe at all. But I do seriously need to controll my alcohol consumption ... It's still a big problem. Thanks all. Blessings...

Need help so badly. My T just seems to be getting spikier all the time. I am not dealing well with it at all and find myself using a worrying amount of alcohol to try to get through my miserable days. Have tried everything...to no avail. I don't know how long I can go on living like this. My...

Wonderful news. At least there is a ray of hope for us as we walk the dark tunnel. Thznk's for posting

Hi Gio. Me too at 59 having played in bands for years have the high pitched T. At times it gets me down but unfortunately I got into the habit of using alcohol to drown it out. I feel so depressed at the moment where my life seems to revolve around pubs. Have tried benzodiazepines and sleeping...

Yes Zopiclone. But I don't think I'll get much more from my GP.I sleep really well and they seem make the T quieter. Diazepam are good too but I found I needed 5mg instead of 2 mgs

I found benzodiazepines helpful but the dosage was so small it didn't really have much of an effect. I take the Z sleeping pills but in the morning that demoralising high pitched hiss is there..all the time

You have GOT to get ear protection!!!!

Jonathan, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I understand your grief. I too have very uncomfortable T but I assure you that scratching my head does not go near to masking it. You will habituate as I think you have mild T. Best wishes.

Honey Bee....that was one inspirational post. Thanks. I've had T for about 6 years now but in March this year spiked and louder. I spent literally thousands on private clinic masking hearing aids which did little although I returned them before the recommended period so I can't really give a...

What a positive and uplifting post. It's the anxiety caused by the T that is the problem. Take care use earplugs. I practiced with my acoustic band las night. Two guitars. Low bass and a violin. I think that made my T worse today. Didn't use plugs cos I thought it would be ok. So another setback.

There are some very clever people working on a cure right now and I am very hopeful that in the not too distant future, say 5-6 years , something exciting will show up. Keep your spirits up. Do what you enjoy and stay healthy. God's blessing.

My T is ringing like mad as I type this post but I am learning to accept it as part of me until the day comes, and it will come, when it can be successfully treated. Don't give in. Listen tousic whenever you can. I get pleasure from playing golf and although I can still hear it it doesn't,y...

Stay strong and keep busy. You will be fine.

Stay strong young man. You have youth on your side and plenty to look forward to. God's blessing to you.

Don't think the doctor will prescribe more.

Sorry Stink but great developments are taking place in the diseases you mention. This forum is meant to provide hope and relief for fellow sufferers. There are many reports of exciting developments in the field of hearing and tinnitus and neurology in general.

Hi Tamika. Yes my wife came with me last time. Guess I'm just going to have to ask him for 5mg Diaz!

Yes, have a good long talk with your doctor. I have suffered T for about 6 years. At times I thought I would not cope but you do and you will. Sleep is important as the last poster said so try and get some help there. God's blessing to you on your journey to recovery.

If you have T, best thing is to have suction to get rid of wax. I had my ears syringed but didn't cause T problems. You'll probably habituate to it. Stay strong .,, you'll get where you want to be.

My doctor described Diazepam(UK) Valium but only 2mg pills which don't have much effect on my anxiety. Don't know how to ask for higher dosage!!

I think that the "cure" that people speak of will be preventative . That is for those who have not as yet contracted T. Or perhaps for those who have just had it. People like me who have had it for years are probably stuck with it for the rest of our lives.

Unfortunately I am using alcohol to get to sleep because of this T. I'm worried because I know I'm overdoing it!!

I think you can get back to where you were before the "hum" thing. Just concentrate on your exams. I think it will just become an acceptable part of your subconscious

Ahh ok. Bit academic for me but thanks.

Unfortunately my only relief from this loud T is alcohol. It seems to to get less noticable. But I know that I am doing myself harm . This thing is horrible. Help if any one can!!

Hi Rob, Iv'e had the dreaded T for about 7 years now and it became worse about March this year. Don't know why. I do or rather did play in a band where volumes got a bit high but always wore ear plugs with high attenuation. I find my T gets worse during mid afternoon for no obvious reason...

I too suffer with loud tinnitus Les. It's quite a common complaint. But you do get used to it. You'll get there in the end. Try some masking therapies. You never know research could come up with something soon. Gareth.

Hi Bart. Exactly like mine. Today is probably my worst. Yesterday was my best. How long I can endure this I really don't know. I find watching TV even makes my spikes worse. Unable to cope at the moment. Good luck.

My T very similar to yous John. Seems to be getting louder and more difficult to mask. I get so , so low and despair at times. Some of the comments here are brutally honest and sometimes don't inspire much "support" though. Anyway, live in hope.

Hi Joshua. I can't offer any help on finding an ENT in your area because I'm from Wales in UK...!! But I sympathise completely with your experience. I too have been suffering for around 8 years and lately the high pitched hissing is getting worse. I have been to the Tinnitus Clinic here in UK...

Just ordered one of those Tinnitus clinic gadgets. Hope it works

Hi John. Sorry been away for a while. Not good for the last week., The high pitch seems to be increasing in volume. At my wick's end to be honest. I went for a consultation at the Cheltenham Tinnitus clinic las Tuesday. They say I qualify for sound desensitisation therapy so I'm going to go for...

I have heard of audionotch. Don't want to mess with something I don't really understand in case it gets worse.

John. Every day it's the same high pitched hiss which I don't think I can handle much longer. I just hope that when I go and see the audiologist at Tinnitus Clinic that I am suitable for neuromodulation therapy. That has had a few good reviews

Hi bmguitar. Very similar to my experience. Like you I thought I had successfully habituated but exposure to some big noises made it worse. As it happens I booked myself into the Tinnitus clinic in Cheltenham and I have an appointment there on Tuesday next. Hopefully they can do something.

Hi John. Great to hear from u. I'm from South Wales. Was up in Scotland last Summer visiting relatives in Crieffe and stayed in Perth. Lovely place.

Just found this forum and glad I did. Have been reading some of the threads and was uplifted by the posts. My T began around 8 years ago and was most likely caused by exposure to loud music in my younger days. I find it gets worse when watching TV. It is a high pitched frequency of around...
