A few years ago, I took Prednisone after an unexpected exposure to a fire alarm. I started taking it 18 hours after the exposure and continued for a week. I’m not sure if the medicine actually helped or if my ears improved on their own. However, knowing I took it gave me peace of mind. That’s...

You're welcome. In my experience, I first habituated to tinnitus around two years after it began. Those two years were incredibly difficult, and my life felt pretty dark. I can't pinpoint exactly what helped with the habituation process, but over time, I just sort of accepted the tinnitus. It...

Hello everyone, I haven't logged in here for a long time, but reading through all these messages has brought back so many memories—the darkness, the helplessness, the pain, the misery, and the constant "why me?" I've had tinnitus for 21 years, since I was 17. For those of you who are...

Pete if your Brother lives in your town can’t you talk to him? I know he can’t cure T but you need someone in your life other than the great people on this board. Reach out to him, tell him what you’re going through. Death is guaranteed to us all at some point and you are still new to this...

@Candy You're welcome. If you need any further advice/help please don't hesitate to ask. Simon

@Jazzer Great post, I see exactly what you mean. Whilst I will always remain positive, I will ensure that I think before I speak. The only tinnitus I know is my own and I have no idea how bad others have it. I hope we can all find some peace in life, good luck to us all. Thank you for the...

Pete, I don't know if you read my post on your other thread? If not please go and have a look. Tinnitus is our own personal battle. But there are so many people who have lived great lives with it. Although I am struggling a bit at the moment by letting my guard down once. I had 10+ years of...

Hi everyone, Just joined this board but have had tinnitus since 2003. Managed to Habituate for over a decade but one stupid error not wearing hearing protection put me in that time machine and tinnitus is the Devil inside my head again. However, I am committed to recovery for the second time...

Pete man, I have read through this thread and I know you are going through torture right now. I got tinnitus back in 2003 when I was 17 and thought my life was a death sentence, a family member also committed suicide at this time and I felt the absolute horror of that too. It took me somewhere...

Hi Belle, Thanks for introducing yourself. I am also new to this board but got Tinnitus back in 2003 when I was 17. So pretty close to your age when I got it. I'll do my best to give you some tips and advice. It seems your tinnitus may have been caused by noise exposure, so was mine. I went to...

Rinz, Thanks so much for all the words of encouragement. If I managed to Habituate before for so long I'm sure I can do it again. All good with saying I feel like shit, that's how I feel haha. If I can't get a good night sleep I'll get some meds from the doc. I'm not sure what country you...

Hi Lane, Thanks for this info, I will check it out. Getting a good night sleep is one of my main priorities. Simon

Hi Rinz, Thanks for your reply I really appreciate it. It's comforting to know that you have recovered from various spikes. I can relate 100% to watching my ears like a Hawk. Seriously, I remember when I was first diagnosed I was scared of all sound. I would monitor everything, TV, Radio...

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to share my story and hopefully connect with a few of you on here as no one else I know really understands. I am currently 33 and have had tinnitus I was 17. When I was a teenager I used to play in a band and go to a lot of concerts. My tinnitus started in 2003 at...
