Very inspirational story. I have had T for about one year and while there are days when I feel more disouraged, I too believe that there is hope that I will regain the control that T is attempting to garner from me. You see - T doesn't like to be distracted --if s/he would have it their way, T...

Thanks for your replies - I am so supersensitive to meds amongst them Cipro without a doubt. Even the one dose that I took last night 3/31 gave me a headache and nausea for the entire day 4/1 - I just didn't feel right; the T noise was certainly elevated. Someone in the medical field was...

I have a very mild bladder infection for which the doctor ordered Cipro (500 mg, BID x 5 days); took the first dose after dinner and had within a period of time an increase in my T to the point where my ordinary routine of listening to music during the day (at the computer) barely masks the...

Dear Applewine - There is no simple solution to finding the means by which to reduce and/or cope with the effects of Tinnitus. I'm trying everything I can within reason including CBT which I hope will be helpful in helping me quiet the triggers that seem to enhance the Tinnitus. Some times the T...

I'm not a Christian, but do consider myself someone who is seeking a spiritual path. I pray to G-d everynight asking help in keeping me healthy...I think I might add asking help to find an added way to help me manage my Tinnitus. I am dealing with T by learning CBT with an exceptional therapist...

Hi Everyone - I've had mild T since August 2014; but I've also had neck and back pain way before the T appeared. The T appeared as 'sudden onset'; my dentist could not correlate any TMJ as a probable cause for Tinnitus. I have noticed a slight increase in the amount of headaches I have; I have...

Dear Frayact - I am so sorry to hear about the number of relapses you have had. I can only imagine your despair. I hate my Tinnitus but am trying hard to habituate to it listening to music, deep breathing and trying to understand certain responses to things in my life which might trigger the...

This sounds so plausible - I'm going to try it. I've noticed lately that when I have a few moments of silence, I start searching for the tinnitus as if to say 'I am missing something in my head - i.e., the noise' not believing that I can actually be enjoying the silence for a fleeting few...

I attempted or rather scanned that article that Martin posted above. I applaud the writer for his efforts to retrain his limbic system and brain to help him regain some semblance of quality of life. The article was so extensive and even though I didn't see anything referenced with the word...

Toddcrowther: Hi - I'm happy that you have had success in overcoming your tinnitus. I agree with you that T is more a symptom of some underlying condition, whether organic or psychic. I stopped taking the Niacin and Lipo-Flavonoid OTC pills that were recommended and will be exploring CBT...

Hi Toni - I had a Medrol pak (steroid) for 6 days prescribed by my ENT to make sure it wasn't inflammation that was causing the Tinnitus. It didn't do a thing but at least we had to try it. Was on Niacin and Lipo-Flavonoid for about 3 weeks and honestly, it wasn't doing a thing and I didn't want...

Dear S.withnell: By the time you read this, I so hope you are feeling a little better. Have you tried to just go out to a pub, shopping mall, supermarket, anywhere there are distractions if just for a little while to quiet the noise. I find that while I am out and about the noise is almost gone...

I have been at the computer tonight for almost 2 hours with a YouTube Tinnitus video playing in the background (it's a shower faucet sound) - I can't believe how I can work at the computer and not be bothered by the high pitched sound that I would otherwise be hearing. It's wonderful!

Billie48 - is the Aire Freshener safe to download - when I attempted it, my computer put up a message that suggested that because it didn't appear familiar that I should be be leery. Let me know what you think - thanks! I just went on YouTube and saw my options regarding 'sounds' I can listen to...

Thanks everyone for your replies and recommendations. One of my friends who is a great support system suggested that perhaps the sounds are greater when I'm involved in passive activities such as watching television but when engaged in settings where I am actively participating, the sounds are...

Thank you Steven for your reply. Yes, I did get my hearing tested at least 2-3 times showing hearing loss at the highest frequency. In essence, I could say that my hearing is unaffected by the tinnitus and could easily accept any decrease in hearing even if it doesn't impact my everyday...

Hi Everyone - I've been saddled with Tinnitus since August 2014 and while it's mild, there are moments when I feel in despair wondering how to mitigate the noise and/or cope with the fact that this will be with me forever. My Primary Physician agrees getting involved in outside activities more...
