    Aloha folks, How is everyone doing? Reading back that first message now, still gives me the shudders when I think about how much tinnitus took over my life and my head for that period of time. Really do hope that everyone is in a better place, even if just marginally than you were in December...

    Tinnitus to Silence...

    Hello everyone, Not sure if you’ve read my previous thread but I’ve been battling tinnitus since last year. I have designated a big chunk of my time and resources to trying to find fixes and I’m definitely 60%-70% better from all of the things that I have tried. Some listed here: Cranial...

    I’ve seen my alternative therapist today and she wants me to work solely with her for the next three weeks. We’re going to be doing daily acupuncture, massage and meditation and she has asked that I don’t think about tinnitus (lol) outside of our sessions and no forums etc. I’ve agreed and for...

    Bill have you watched this video? Thought it was pretty good. 4 mins in. How long have you been in this game for?

    I’m sure post people have seen this.... But I feel like this guy needs an MBE. I’ve said this a few times over the last few days but positive mindset and thinking it’s going to go is such a game changer. Kind of like a placebo effect but actually in your own head

    Just any earplugs? Maybe I can use the sleep buds but not turn them on.

    Headphones - does anyone know the craic here? I’ve ordered these Bose sleep buds - they are pretty shit and only play 7 songs, prefer listening to my phone on speaker. I suppose will be handy when not sleeping on my own. I’ve just tried the Bang and Olufsen noise cancelling and they actually...

    How come? Is that a drug other people have heard of. I was going to go straight for it - but thought I’d try everything else before going on it. Yeah I can take a dog to work and have a couple of people that work for us personally full time that would happily love the dog during the day in or...

    CEO Here to Battle with Tinnitus

    My tinnitus is constant, sometimes it is just stronger than others. When I’m busy in a loud office or watching a film I can sometimes get it out of my head until I focus back. Othertimes in silence it gets very bad. It’s also like a ringing in my head along with my ears. It’s a tone, a high...

    The anxiety is such a bitch. That’s the one I’m the most bothered about. I might try move one of the family dogs to London or get one here - that’s a class way to feel comfortable and love. Doesn’t beer make T worse? I’ve been staying away from the alchohol because I’m worried about what it’s...

    How’s your sleeping? Early thoughts are that is one of the biggest parts of the equation for how shit T can be.

    Yes you’re right. Everyone lives a stressful life. By that I mean keep trying things and laugh. Rather than going to get a shotgun

    Habituation... is that where people learn to live with it and have a normal life? Thanks Bam. All I can do is approach everything in the right way.

    CEO Here to Battle with Tinnitus

    I’m very new to this forum and reasonably new to this absolute shite that is Tinnitus. I’m not talking about dropping a hot chocolate or being late paying bills. I don’t think that could cause it. I do think high amounts of non stop stress and drama along with other bad lifestyle decisions...

    CEO Here to Battle with Tinnitus

    I’ve had two with different audiologists and both came out saying pretty normal for my age. This is promising though as maybe stem cells will be able to help. Why do you doubt stress and workload? Interested to hear as that’s 90% of what I think has caused it along with all the things that go...

    CEO Here to Battle with Tinnitus

    We’ll beat it Bam. I’m starting to see how much of all of this relates to your mindset and how you think of it all. If I’m doom and gloom my ringing seems louder and more present. It’s less easy to focus away and I can’t think of it ever leaving. How long have you had it for?

    CEO Here to Battle with Tinnitus

    Thanks everyone. Migraines haven’t been as bad the last couple of days but I’ll order these products and bring that up when I meet the stem cells expert. I’m dodging all the loud noise. Going shooting clays in a few weeks and I’ve bought about 9 ear defenders still trying to keep doing the...

    It’s for the tingling or migraines I get in my head - maybe 4/6 a day for the past four days. Head has got better and T feels similar, woke up this morning with a hell of a ring though. What else should I be taking for the migraines/headaches? Paracetamol didn’t help. Thanks! Fin

    Hi everyone, Hope you’re marvellous, or as good as you can be with this absolutely dreadful ringing in your ears. I’m 28 and run a company in London. For the last 27 years my health has been perfect bar the odd broken bone. Before this hit me I had no idea that tinnitus was even a thing, it...

    Middle of the Night Strategies for Tinnitus and Sleeping

    I had this problem of waking up in the night, no anxiety just the shite noise at such a high pitch its impossible to fall straight back to sleep. Once you’re awake much harder to combat it so I try do everything I can before I sleep to try stay asleep. Before bed, I take CBD oil and a...
