Good luck to her, I guess she is an example of how we should all manage our T, if only I could be so relaxed about it

thank you, I hope you are right but today is a bad day - it can really get you down

nearly 2 months

Ototoxic medication I think

Ive had mine for 7 weeks in my right ear. It is also affecting my mental health. I do notice it is a bit better when I am occupied and I am trying to meditate and keep busy but it is a tough journey. Hoping for the best for both of us

Hi Steve, I live in Victoria, so both Aussies. How is your T progress going? I am in early days, only 7 weeks but finding it a bumpy ride. Some better days, some bad ones.

Hi All, I have had tinnitus in my right ear for 7 weeks now. It came on when I had anxiety & depression and I am on treatment for these issues. The tinnitus came on before I went on Mirtazapine so I know it is not the cause. I have been to an ENT specialist and an audiologist and am waiting to...

Sounds very tough Danica. I live in Victoria on the Mornington Peninsula so not far away. Definitely you need to see an ENT specialist but hopefully once you do things will improve for you. I hope so, let us know how things go

I'd get your ears checked, perhaps there is some deep wax and removing it might help you.

Yes a good positive story, congratulations and gives us all hope

Hi Brownbear, how are you doing now? I read that you are an ENT surgeon and recently your anxiety got a bit worse. I hope things settle again for you. I am also a doctor (GP) and have had unilateral tinnitus for 6 weeks. I was so distressed initially but am starting to come to terms with it, do...

I am just wondering how you are going Angeldust? Like you on my bad days I am having suicidal thoughts. I still want to stick it out for a bit longer in the hope it will ease. Have you found any strategies that help even for a little while? I am taking life one day at a time. I am thinking of...

I've only had tinnitus for 5 weeks, I admire you have hung in for so long. I hope you can somehow find some relief, you are not alone in your suffering, I guess we have to hang on to hope, I wish you peace in the New Year.

Michael, out of interest, do you think that Julian Cowan-Hill on Youtube is correct in his view of tinnnitus, that it is the anxiety and fear that is the main problem?

I may well be alone too. Although I have family I could be with, the T is making life too miserable to make the journey. It sucks and its its only been 5 weeks

I totally understand how you feel. I have had T for 5 weeks and I have good and bad days but the bad ones make me feel suicidal too. I am older than you but determined to give it at least 6 months because a lot of people seem to improve or the anxiety settles. I urge you to hang in there too and...

Thanks Phil, it is the fear of the unknown but the support and knowledge that others can get on with their lives is reassuring

Thanks for all your encouraging replies

Thank you Bill, that is most reassuring. Even with the bad days I have, I wonder how much courage and resilience some of the long suffering members must possess. One day at a time.

Hi, I'm Doug from Australia, I'm 62 and I have had unilateral tinnitus for nearly 4 weeks. It is the result of an anaesthetic gas I suspect ( sudden onset afterwards). It went away for a whole day after 3 days then came back. It is the fluctuations that distress me. I had a morning 2 days ago...

Thank you for your post, it is reassuring to know there is hope, I have only had it in ine ear for just over 3 weeks but it is hard to tolerate

thanks, a reassuring story. Best of luck, still early days for me but working on calming myself down

Very encouraging post, thank you and well done.

Hi Michael, how fo you mean to use the white noise if not by an ear bud? Surely an ear bud with a soft masking sound would be ok?

I agree, Tinnitus sucks, I've only had it for 3 weeks but I'm over it. I hope the day will come when I'll see Tinnitus as not such a bad thing in my life but right now it just sucks, best of luck with your struggle

Thanks, that sounds hopeful.

Hi Michelle, I felt so sad reading your posts. I have had high pitched tinnitus in one ear for 3 weeks. I am coping but at times it is distressing. We just have to take life one day at a time and have hope that it will start to fade or become easier to cope with. Hang in, you are not alone

Thankyou, that is most reassuring

I've had mine for 3 weeks, was superanxious to start but learning to acccept it and hoping it will start to fade down. Keep reassuring yourself you will be ok, notice the times it is easier and hang in, thats what I am doing.

I feel the same, I've had my tinnitus for nearly 3 weeks. It fouctfluct from mild and easily tolerable to more disturbing. Likewise I have anxiety and depression and am trying mindfulness and relaxation.

Hi, I was reading your replies. My name is Doug, I've had tinnitus for nearly 3 weeks, it varies, can be disturbing but I am coping and hoping it will gradually fade. I notice anxiety makes it worse. Only in one ear.
