Very good stuff! Some of the popular self-help books by Dr. David D. Burns, M.D., of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, have strategies like this, also. I have two of his books, Feeling Good, and The Feeling Good Handbook.

Firstly, I am so sorry that you are in throes of this right now. Secondly, I know exactly what your experience is like. What you are describing - vertigo, intense jaw pain, the Tinnitus itself - is exactly how my Tinnitus began. You are probably sleepless, your mind wracked with anxiety...

...not a "doctor." He has a masters degree in social work. Second, his "cognitive retraining therapy" is absolutely not the Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). It is something he made up which bears little resemblance to true CBT. True CBT is a clinically-proven treatment for tinnitus, which is...

Hi Dr. Hubbard I dont mean to highjack the topic but i have a friend who has been struggling with anxiety for a few years. The anxiety can get so bad that his hand begins to shake and affects his ability to perform at work. The trigger appears to be dealing with people. This condition has lead...

Hi Michelle Thank you so much for introducing yourself! I'm relatively new to the group to, although I've had tinnitus for almost half of my adult life (turned 60 last year). I can imagine you must be at your wits end! I'm so sorry. I've been there too the last couple weeks after an...

...help you identify a cause. In the meantime, please try calming supplements or pills, distraction (keeping your mind active, but focusing on things outside of your tinnitus), and even CBT (cognitive behavior therapy). Good luck, and please keep us posted on how you're doing. Best wishes, Karen

...my daughters). In fact, I didn't know that there was a name for this "proclivity" until one of my daughters began getting cognitive behavior therapy for her anxiety, and the therapist told me about it! My daughters have it worse than I do. All my life, I thought I was just "being difficult"...

Cheers stophiss, although I wouldn't call it a study, merely advice that may help. If enough people gave it a go you could call it a study though (y) It is as you stated just a good path to habituation. Also, I forgot to point out how important sleep is as you rightly added. Not just for...

Maybe Potiga/Trobalt/Retigabine and if that won't help then cognitive behavior therapy.

...cure, things can be improved with proper diet, exercise, masking, and sometimes TRT (tinnitus retraining therapy) or CBT (cognitive behavior therapy). Also, for some people, hearing aids with masking capabilities are a big help. You can experiment to see what types of remedies work best for...

I really do appreciate the outpouring of support here. I remained consumed with the idea of ending my life, but do not think I would ever actually do it. I read that suicidal thoughts come about when suffering exceeds coping mechanisms. And that is a place I am right now. I worked with Dr...

THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGING POST. I took cognitive behavior therapy this summer and I responded well to it. Then one day this fall out of the blue the OTHER ear started up and now I have suffering and anxiety. i trying to come up with a plan for coping with it. This site offers one some hope.

The "40 Year Cure" sounds a lot like cognitive behavior therapy--if you change your negative thoughts about T into positive statements, then that will help change your emotional response to your T and make it more manageable. There's a really good book on CBT and tinnitus, Tinnitus: A...

@LetyO, tinnitus is an infrequent side effect of Seroquel. By infrequent, I mean that only between 1/100 to 1/1000 patients report tinnitus as a side effect of taking the drug. I wouldn’t rule it out as the cause of your tinnitus, but in my opinion it is unlikely. I strongly suggest you never...

...to completely forget about my T and PT, although I have come a long way in five years. With pulsatile tinnitus, you can actually feel the vibration, so it's hard to go a whole day without thinking about it. Still, I'm proud of how far I've come, using my own form of cognitive behavior therapy!

I dont want to startle reflex you: , but there is a lot of gaps to be filled here. The paper below is from 2014, I saw a couple of papers from this year http://www.hindawi.com/journals/np/2014/741452/ The ultimate benchmark for any animal model measuring subjective tinnitus is comparability...

Based upon what you say above, my suggestion would be to get in touch with Dr. Bruce Hubbard, who posts here on the Doctors Corner from time to time. @Dr. Hubbard is an expert in cognitive behavioral therapy, and he is particularly interested in its application to tinnitus. I hold him and his...

...We were right. It took more than a year, the sound of my ringing finally going from universe filling to half a whisper. Cognitive Behavior Therapy helped too, as did a stint of auto-suggestion. In the latter, I sat quietly in a meditative state of mind, taking myself back to the night of my...

...hearing loss and tinnitus in other ear, which happened a few days ago when I took plugs out in a noisy environment! I'm scared to death to go deaf!!!! Only thing they can suggest is anti-depressant, anxiety meds and Cognitive Behavior Therapy! I find it hard to believe this cannot be cured!

Dear LadyDi Thank you for providing me the opportunity to respond to this important question about CBT. First of all, congratulations to you and to your CBT therapist on your success to date. Anxiety and panic are common responses to tinnitus onset, and not easy to deal with, especially on top...

Hey All, I’d like to take some space here to describe contemporary CBT for tinnitus, as there are some misunderstandings expressed in this strand. (I apologize in advance for the length of this post!) First, CBT has evolved greatly over the past ten years. It’s no longer accurate to describe...

I am scared to use AD but I feel I might have too. Where can I look for some CBT?

...you asked about some medicine to help with the anxiety and sleep? DO NOT be afraid to ask if that is what you need. I took some xanix to help with anxiety as well as my T spikes. It made it more bearable. Also, look into some CBT (cognitive Behavior Therapy)...or just some therapy in general.

Your use of the word "terrified" says it all. Anxiety amplifies tinnitus - certainly the perception and the emotional impact. Sound-retraining and similar behavioral techniques cannot work if you are anxious and not sleeping. Discuss this with your doctor and get effective treatment...

I have been taking Xanax on and off for the past 17 years so I'm wathcing my dose trying to keep it low. I actually used to take 4 times my current dose back in the day. If I take breaks 0.5mg is ok for me now, I never take benzo's before eight at night and I never take more than one dose one...

Thank you, I have said many times some days it is about the volume and that I don't have the ability to stop it. If a club is too loud for comfort, walk out. Construction, walk away. with this I feel so trapped.

I am a physician with tinnitus. Tinnitus Retraining (TRT) involves three parts: 1st is education. 2nd is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (and/or medications) to control anxiety and stress and the 3rd is the use of Sound Habituation. You have to be careful what you read on the Internet but Tinnitus...

Interesting point. One of the main parts of Tinnitus Retraining is education (the others being Cognitive Behavior Therapy to control anxiety and stress and the 3rd being the use of Sound Habituation). I guess it matters what you read on the Internet. Being a doctor in clinical practice, I don't...
