Yes, but the question is, when will habituation finally start to truly take over? I can’t say I haven’t made any progress over the past six months, but the ringing in my ears still bothers me most of the time, making me feel depressed and anxious. However, as I’ve often read, habituation isn’t...

...as habituation takes over. I went to a doctor of psychology who has tinnitus and works with tinnitus patients by using Cognitive Behavior Therapy. You can find books on the general subject of CBT in a public library. I also went to an ENT ear/brain surgeon who got tinnitus. He tried...

To be perfectly honest, it's not entirely new. I had better coping mechanisms (I trusted myself I can avoid most of shitty people and circumstances, and if I dealt with them I knew how) and I also saw many, many positive sides of life. I truly enjoyed most of my time on earth so far. So it's...

I mean this in the kindest way possible - I think you should consider looking into therapy. The intense anger that you feel is toxic to you and your well-being. It’s only going to exacerbate your suffering, and that’s the last thing that you need, because I know you are suffering a lot...

It's great you've posted your success story, and I'm really pleased things are working out for you. We are very short of success stories at the moment! I have to echo the comments from other posters though. I think you have been incredibly fortunate. I wholeheartedly agree that for those...

...clanking plates and other random kitchen noises for a while now too. Along with sound therapy you gotta combine it with cognitive behavior therapy as well, which you can do yourself at home but honestly it really helps to find someone. Look for people who specialize in chronic injuries and...

I know from a smart friend of mine, this kind of treatment will help with epilepsy, but not with tinnitus, which has different potassium channels involved. So this is useless for tinnitus sufferers.

It's not entirely on-topic, but there's promising news that a new gene therapy technique could help people with Parkinson's and perhaps (in my opinion) also for people who suffer from non-pulsatile tinnitus, since many researchers point toward overactive neurons as key actors in the...

...in both ears and occasionally just the right ear. I've tried everything. Acupuncture, hearing aids, Reiki, massage, cognitive behavior therapy (still ongoing). Frustration and insomnia are wearing me down. Any thoughts? One question, perhaps I should taper the Xanax first? My doctors are...

...or worse. My audiologist says people with tinnitus should seek therapy with a psychologist. HaHa. What a joke. What is cognitive behavior therapy going to do? "Hey doctor my ear is a 5-alarm bell nonstop", or "my arm is on fire"... "tell me how you feel about it...?" There is no amount of...

Could you give me some links you find useful? Thank you very much!

Cognitive behavior therapy worked for me. Eventually, as you habituate, your mind will learn to ignore the sound and it won't bother you. Tell me if you would like some links with information, to help you cope while you go through the habituation process.

...down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will bring the wrath of cognitive behavior therapy down on you and you will drown in it. You and your negative-thinking cohorts are dead. Good day, kiddo :)

We aren't denying that CBT is effective. It's people against being told "it's all in your head" and money that could be going towards biomedical science is instead going towards this ad nasseum.

I actually agree with this. I've always been an advocate for CBT, and have successfully used it in the past.

Twelve Step programs have a success rate of 5%, for assisting alcoholics achieve total sobriety. Cognitive Behavior Therapy has a success rate of about 80%, for helping people to successfully cope with many diverse problems and mental health issues. There are a few people here who have never...

It's unfortunate that in the UK CFS still seems to be very much labelled as a psychosomatic condition and psychological therapies dominate going by what I've seen. But at least there's hope that it's changing.

My takeaway is that 50% of CFS sufferers have bad attitudes. It would be a mistake to try to figure out what's actually driving their depression.

Let's not forget that their bible (the DSM) listed homosexuality as a Personality Disturbance until 1980. Mental Health practitioners have a history of being wrong about a lot of things.

I'm not quite sure how you're coming to this conclusion after several people have explained that their issues are with the way CBT is being promoted and what it's promising... For example, let's talk about Rilana Cima from the University of Maastricht who created a CBT for tinnitus program...

I don’t think anybody is questioning the fact that it can’t possibly work for everyone. Even if it only helps one in a hundred or less, it’s still something that may potentially help someone. Ideally, a support forum should try to help people emotionally whilst informing them of potential...

My tinnitus started at 4am on March 3rd. I was awakened with deafening jackhammering which I thought was coming from the courtyard outside our home. It wasn’t, it was all in my head. And so begins my journey. I went to a doctor later that day (my our physician wasn’t available and saw someone...

Out of curiosity, what medications made your tinnitus worse?

Yes I agree that fundamental change is needed to their board. I'd personally be more than happy to give up time in some capacity to make sure that they were starting to move in the right direction - both in terms of correcting information on their website and in their research funding decisions.

Bruce Hubbard founded CBT for Tinnitus to help people apply principles and strategies of cognitive behavior therapy to handle tinnitus and related hearing issues (hyperacusis, tone loss, phonophobia, misophonia, sound sensitivity). In 2005 Bruce developed severe tinnitus and hyperacusis (See...

For some people, yea. Bad thoughts can change the function of the brain. I’ll paste an old post of mine that gets right to the point: Tinnitus is known to be associated with deeper processing centres of the brain. It's theorised that once signals travel from the ear to the auditory cortex...

...There's too many accounts of habituation giving relief to "our kind" to ignore. There was a pretty interesting post about cognitive behavior therapy I was reading on here last night as well. I've started to look into that, unfortunately, I'll have to find a way to do it on my own. I live...

...important to sleep. You can always try Melatonin to ease you into sleep. It is non addictive and natural.

It’s really important that you don’t push your stress levels too far over this. There’s more chance of your brain ignoring it if you break the obsession with it right away. The more you ruminate the worse it will get. My advice would be to stop reading about it altogether and try and distract...

@Canadaman, I’ll copy an old post of mine that seems relevant here: I hear my tinnitus all the time, but don’t really react to it anymore. Some days I do/will, but on the whole, I pretty much go about my day and don’t think about it all that much. It is pretty much down to ignoring it, and...

That is too much to deal with, and you don't need to do all those things. Ginkgo is more likely to help people whose tinnitus is related to circulatory problems. Cranial massage is good for the relaxation effect. Chiropractic might help if a cervical disk or something else which affects the...

@Ed209 - Thank you so much for coming back with such an informative reply. My noise ramped up in June 2014, after a particular musician (a friend of 35 years) decided to play far too loud, and far too close. Since then my hiss/noise level has been constant. However, I was really interested in...

It’s the same jazzer, I hear it but don’t really react to it anymore. Some days I do/will, but on the whole, I pretty much go about my day and don’t think about it all that much. It is pretty much down to ignoring it, and that is the essence of habituation. The noise kind of exists on a seperate...

Hi all, I apologise if this is long, but I feel like I need to get all of this out. It's not often I post here, I think this is only my third time, as I try and use this as a last resort and stay away from places like this when I'm doing okay, no offense intended. I've had T for over 3 years...

The quotes are all specific to ENT doctors. Audiologists aren't mentioned anywhere. There is an obvious dissonance in this specific context. That doesn't preclude the existence of consistency in other parts of the discourse. Perhaps it means that that guy isn't impermeable to new data and...
