    Tinnitus and Sleep

    Sounds tough, and losing sleep makes everything feel harder the next day. You could try sleep yoga. Basically this means getting out of bed and doing some simple yoga (you can pretty much make it up, stuff like slowly bending to touch toes and coming back up vertebrae by vertebrae) right next...

    Will This Go Away?

    Hey, I think T goes away in most cases, but it just doesn't always seem that way when you read these forums, where you get a skewed sample. H

    Hi, I Need Help and Support

    Hey Gee, there is every chance that your T will get quieter or go away completely. In fact it sounds like the likely outcome, but waiting is certainly hard. You mentioned that you have had depression and that the T can push you toward feeling suicidal - which seems to be a common experience -...

    3 Years with Mild Tinnitus: 10 Things I Learned.

    Hello — My Experience and How I Get Temporary Relief from My Tinnitus

    I'm not sure about the science behind that statement but my T sure sounds electrical, its like standing in a machine room on a bad day, like standing outside one on a good day.

    Hello — My Experience and How I Get Temporary Relief from My Tinnitus

    Hey Georgia, there may well be a sinus connection for both of us, but also think a definite stress link too. Given that we can't get away from our stress completely i think the best thing to do is carve out times when you can really relax and take pleasure in a low stress activity, often on...

    Hello — My Experience and How I Get Temporary Relief from My Tinnitus

    Thanks Kolisar for your support and encouragement. When my T is low, or appears gone i often wonder if it has gone away or if it is my perception of it that has changed - but that thinking gets me nowhere and just goes in circles since our perception of the noise is the same thing as the noise...

    Hello Everybody! I'm Fran from Argentina

    I've just remembered that there is a series of videos on youtube by Julian Cowan Hill that you can watch if you can't get hold of the book Fran, he probably explains most of it there. Good luck with it.

    Hello Everybody! I'm Fran from Argentina

    Hey Fran, In my experience tinnitus can be a very isolating experience and it is hard not to compare yourself to others. I've had my tinnitus for six months, and I work therapeutically with chronically ill people so i have a lot to think about at the hospital where i work too, it sometimes...

    Hello — My Experience and How I Get Temporary Relief from My Tinnitus

    Hi, i've been reading several of your posts with interest for some time now, but this is my first, apologies that it is so long! My tinnitus started in May this year so I'm in my six month. It is often coupled with eustachian tube dysfunction symptoms. At first an ENT said it was secondary to...
