    Benzodiazepine Withdrawal-Induced Tinnitus

    I was on a 3x5mg doses of Oxazepam when I first developed T and have severe stress and axienty attacks. When I slowly stopped it seems to make my headache, neckpain and T even worse. It slowly faded away during the next 6 months.

    Here Is How I'm Dealing with My New Tinnitus & Hyperacusis

    So my last visit to TT was December 20th 2016. It's been almost three months since my last visit. I have been doing good. My T is stable around 2 (scale 1-10) with some days it being almost completely gone. I've been sleeping well, eating well, drinking my daily coffee's at work. I've been...

    Here Is How I'm Dealing with My New Tinnitus & Hyperacusis

    It's been two months since my last visit to the TT forum. Things are still going pretty good here. Tonight I went for some burgers and beer with a friend of mine. Back home now after 5 beers, a burger and some chicken and I must say the T is pretty loud again. So I can conclude that alcohol and...

    Here Is How I'm Dealing with My New Tinnitus & Hyperacusis

    The very first few weeks I insisted in having a fan on in my bedroom. I don't know the exact moment, but at some point i decided I wanted to sleep without a fan. For me I think it was important but it kind of made me accept the tinnitus for what it was. And I guess that's when I realized my T...

    Here Is How I'm Dealing with My New Tinnitus & Hyperacusis

    It's been two weeks since my last update and I'm happy to share some great news with you. For some reason my T & H seems to have gone pretty much completely. When I go into a dead silent room and try to find my T I can hear it way far in the distance. I think it's the same level prior to when I...

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus. Four Months Now. Scared.

    When I stopped caring about my T I could continue living my life. Don't focus too much on it. We probably get a lot more stuff happen to us as we grow older. Don't make a big deal out of it. If music is not for you anymore, find another passion. Don't dwell in the 'what you have lost' but focus...

    My Year of Struggle

    I've had T for about 7 weeks now and I've gone from suicidal to not caring anymore. What helped me? Understanding what T is, seeking help from a psychologist as soon as I got it (like week 3), took 2 weeks of oxazepam to help me calm down from anxiety and think clearly. Meditation before I go to...

    I Don't Know How to Continue

    My advice is to go see a psychologist. That helped me enormously to learn about fight-or-flight. Seems you are (just like me) focused on the what-you-cannot-do-anymore. Also keep a journal, write down what you did, how you felt, what you ate and drank and how you experienced your T on a scale...

    Here Is How I'm Dealing with My New Tinnitus & Hyperacusis

    Hi, First of all I would like this thread to stay on a positive mindset, since that is what basically dragged me from the gutter and somewhat back to my old life. So here's my story... Preface: Had been under a lot of stress. Buying our first house, getting a mortgage, working 60 hours a...
