    Look at What You Can Do, Not What You Can't

    First of all, thank you guys for this thoughtful exchange. TRT is a long path, up to 18 months, and I walked on it for just three months. My intention is persisting on it, according to Jastreboff's protocols, then making my evaluation. As for now, like I said, no improvement, and maybe a...

    Look at What You Can Do, Not What You Can't

    So - if I understand correctly - you did the whole TRT path twice and still use white noise generators...

    Look at What You Can Do, Not What You Can't

    I started TRT since three months. It's actually very expensive (around 3000 USD). When I wear sound generators, well, I can obviously hear T (otherwise it wouldn't be TRT but mere masking) but the nuisance of it obviously decreases. When I wear the generators: because when I take them off, T is...

    Question about Surgery / Microvascular Decompression of Cochleovestibular Nerve

    Has someone of our terrific T pundits heard about Microvascular Decompression of Cochleovestibular Nerve? And what do you think, in general, about surgery as a T treatment? Thank you in advance. Very very bad hours here, btw. Lazarus

    The Umpteenth Thread About Spikes: Please Forgive Me

    @Michael Leigh Thank you so much fir your reply. Actually I did read your very complete and accurate post - a 'must' for every T sufferer - and, when the audioprothesist told me to wear the devices 24/7 I was very puzzled. The ENT of this team confirmed his opinion. Could you so kindly tell me...

    The Umpteenth Thread About Spikes: Please Forgive Me

    Dear All, an update about my spike. Two months from the beginning, T loudness is basically the same (i.e severe), I think; moderate H and distortions are still there. But. I started TRT here in Milan. It's a month now. They gave me two sound generators. First they wanted to lock the volume...

    The Umpteenth Thread About Spikes: Please Forgive Me

    Dear all. Just to share some thoughts. The spike is always present: now it's a month since the beginning. But... As I said, this spike came together with H. Now H is day by day becoming the main source of discomfort. So I could still mask the T, but often I don't want to, because the constant...

    The Umpteenth Thread About Spikes: Please Forgive Me

    Thank you all very much for your replies. It helps to know that you are around. Did someone try the TRT and succeeded? Are TRT devices also a relief when you are wearing them, or your perception of T remains the same? Is TRT always linked with a psycho- (CB) therapy or not? Thank you again...

    The Umpteenth Thread About Spikes: Please Forgive Me

    Dear all, I'm Lazarus from Italy. I do apologize about my english, which is clearly very poor, but I need support at the moment. I have T since 2005: after few months of anxiety and depression I managed it very well. It was not a problem anymore. Sometimes I did use earplugs to sleep, but I...
