Yes Billie 48 it is strange in a sense how something so life changing can be helped on a forum like this but I truly believe it is the support that helps and also the wise info about T , so many people with T eventually find their way to this site after being confused and not really knowing...

I won't ad anything to Billie48 comment he is in my opinion an expert on helping people deal with T and I for one appreciates his wise and kind words of help for us that have tinnitus it has really helped me. I will just add this. T has more to do with Psychological that physical but it...

Stress can cause tinnitus, Conner I am one who believes it is a nerve damage issue . Tinnitus can make you depressed . I believe everyone has T but some people just don't notice it yet and most will not ever notice it. Stress has a big impact on neurons and the nervous system . I think the...

when an audio cord is bad or has a short the sound either hisses has static squeals or goes silent. So the short causes the noise and when it shorts out completely it is silent that is deafness. As long as there is a hiss or tone whatever it is still trying to make the connection to fix tinnitus...

Then everybody that is deaf has tinnitus come on and also some people have tinnitus with perfect hearing no freq. lost. I am talking 17 year olds . No they don't know what they are talking about don't believe everything you hear even from doctors or researchers or me . The fact is nobody knows...

Find the cure for one and your on the right track to cure all the rest.

This drug was intended to treat epilepsy if I am not mistaken but you guys say it helps lower T so my thoughts on T may be correct . Alzheimer. Epilepsy . Parkinson even schizophrenia ,and PTSD and all disorders of the brain and nervous system including Tinnitus are all related and all have a...

Rob it is the mystery of T that keeps us all searching for the answer. I believe once you pass a point that you can live with T and function normally, some people move on, but it is hard for the more curious to let it go. Like I just told one of my buddies on this site. T has really made me...

I believe in some cases it is a physical ailment and the Doctors just can't find the solution and get frustrated and give up. There is something going on in the somatic nerves of Tinnitus sufferers . I also feel fullness Eustachian tube blockage and crackling in my ears my T could be a mirror...

It will get better but the first say 3 months can be kind of rough panic and anxiety are the norm for the first few months people on here are right on when they say keep busy with your life it will help you get through the first and worst part of T. Masking is good to do. Try to sleep good if...

You could try flushing with a netti cup from your local grocery pharmacy or try cleaning your ears or taking a sinus med but it could be Tinnitus which means doctors don't know how to treat it but you can mask it and manage it .As time goes on it will get better but it is a slow process...

How we all know how you feel I had a tough night last night some days I think my T is going to go away but it always seems to come back I guess we all have to learn to get through our days with T and H one day at a time. I know it is depressing but even though T and H are making our lives hard...

It helps I think any white type noise to mask with helps I will mask for 8 hours straight .The days or rather midnight to 8 am I work 3rd shift helps a whole lot . Also netti pot, and just keeping my ears and sinuses clear seems to help. But sometimes it don't matter what you do T just goes...

Yea it seems a lot of things can cause T. One thing for sure it is a change of some sort to the audio system either in the brain receptor or the pathway to it . They are doing research and trying to find something to stop or make T less bothersome . Anxiety plays a big part you have to learn...

Rafael give it time it is a slow process but after about 7 months for me it started getting better. Not fully recovered but I can function now .Once you get back to living and not focusing on T some days it will seem to completely go away . You just get used to it it's called habituation .

I guess your about 7 months into it yea at that point I started feeling a change for the better. We have to understand T habituates at a snails pace but you should take a little leap soon for the better.

Your welcome You have had T about as long as I have, I am through the rough part I think. Mine comes and goes maybe in the process of habituation just waiting to see. Hopefully you are better now with your T and you have learned to manage it somewhat.

Yes You Need to go to a psychiatrist mine put me on AD for OCD which makes sense cause we are obsessing over the noise in our ears. I took a 4 month leave.

I'm in Nashville my T spikes when I lay back in my recliner and try to nap. I have had T for 10 months I believe T is just nerve damage to the audio nerves or somatic nerves when you put pressure or stress the nerve it causes a spike.

You can also do the netti cup flush routine . I do it in the shower as the steam helps. My T is connected to a dis function in my Eustachian tube I am certain we'll almost we are talking about T. Thanks for the tip I will try it.

Tony Billie summed it up nicely as he always does .It will get better with time. You may have some rough moments but as my first ENT said the brain and body will find a way to cope with T . It is a condition that has blind sided us all before I got this condition I had never heard of Tinnitus...

I'm glad you are going we are all understanding and supportive on here and you will always find support .We all have fought the fight with T and life can be normal with T. Sara you just have to keep thinking this way and living your life. Don't let T live it for you. You are in the drivers seat...

Jelena, 6 months to 18 months at the 6 month mark you should really see big changes for the better. It will get to the point where you can sleep and function the way you did before T.I am at the 9 month mark I was struggling with T had to take off work for 4 months but I am back and I work full...

Dr. Nagler just curious if T is caused by hearing loss it seems all people that are deaf would have Tinnitus. Has there been any study on deafness and Tinnitus,

To all on this post .I have had T for 8 months ,first 3 months Xanax anti depressant meds the works now I don't take nothing my hissing comes and goes one thing is for certain T is something that gets turned on and it varies from person to person it does seem to get better or our brains get...

I should add I am 51 I have the same scrunching in my neck and jaw issues I can't seem to figure it out after 8 months .I do believe it is nerve damage I can manipulate my T somewhat with jaw movement and tensing my neck but mine also seems to be sinus related also I take an allergy pill every...

3 months Chelles is right you should start to get a handle on anxiety at this stage . Most people habituate to it within 6 to 18 months . It can affect your emotions with has something to do in connection with the limbic part of the brain. It is a crazy little ride but things will get better...

Hi Rene, so you noticed T when you we're 21. You must have found ways to cope with it over the past 8 years. I have had T for 9 months . I had to take a 4 month leave from work .I am back to work and also work another job too, staying busy helps me. I believe my T is habituating or my ear is...

T is ringing hissing ect. of the ears it could be a lot of possible causes if your ent doctor says there is no physical reason then it means he does not know how to stop the ringing. You will like many with T have to ride it out just remember TIME is the best healer for T. It will within 6...

The cause is really not known. It may be different in every case, it is the leading cause of disability I believe for the soldiers coming back from the war . Just my belief but I think it has something to do with nerve damage. I don't believe it is due to hearing loss but rather hearing loss is...

Hi Ashliegh, Give it another month or two and you should start to see that it does get a lot better.T is something you can live with and learn to manage. Most people habituate or it may go away. You have come to the right support group. Uncle Vikin.

If it does not totally disrupt your life I would leave it alone .Don't play around with it .If it starts to really get bad you will know it but like the other members have told you leave this site and stop thinking and searching for it.This is good advice.

Don't over mask.If it is an infection it will go away if treated ,if it is T you will habituate in time.Good advice on this support group.You will be alright.

Just get sunlight and you should get enough vit D .

It is called Hyperacusis or reactive Tinnitus.It means exactly what you said when you you hear certain sounds it makes the ringing or hissing react to it and your ears become over sensitive look at post from Danny boy and Vikin they take keppra and trobalt.They say it works for them.

This is great news Danny Boy .

Could be a change to the eustachian tube.If I tense my neck it greatly affects my T .I think mine is due to an infection hope it did not do damage it seems to be fading.If it does not fade in the next few weeks then its here to stay and I will go back to believe it is a nerve brain via auditory...

Hang in there Nathan w T it could be a symptom of something that will subside or you may find the cause .Here you will find the support you need.I did .It got me through 6 months .My T is still at a faint hiss most days .I believe mine was an infection still doing all the things I learned on...

Johnster,Once you get the anxiety under controll and you will in time .Melatonin 3mg sr works very good but stay with it same time 20 min. or so before bed reg basis.also the other suplmts sailboardman recommended. Lipoflavonoid is a waste of money you can get flavonoids by juicing lemons w peel...

God bless you ,I am so sorry about your mother .Im so glad your better,this is a great sight ,someday they will find something that stops T and H and alot of nerve related disorders but untill then we just hang on and thank god for every day cause life is truly a gift . Uncle Vikin.

One last note .I think drug resistant strains are not caused by the over use of anti-biotics it caused by the under use of anti-biotics.Also not finishing full course of the medicines.

6 months ago I went to the Shea clinic in Memphis Tennessee.I was given a slew of hearing test. The Dr. looked in my ear with a light and gave me some info on tinnitus.I was a mess I drove 200 miles back to Nashville TN.I just assumed for 6 months that I had tinnitus.I as many of you searched...

I love Thai food but I even love Indian Food even better.I eat what I want to I did not at first but the heck with it I like these foods so thats what I am going to eat. Dr. Nagler I am jealous you must have so many great restaurants to choose from in Atlanta.

Dr. Nagler ,One day at a time little victory's will add up to full habituation and success again .Prayers and thinking of you and all who have T and such types of hearing disorders. Mike K.

Yes I believe it is .I have tried to raise awareness of this as so many people have neck and jaw issues .It is I believe directly causing T or T is a rewiring of the brain that over-reacts the somatic pathways .I personally will soon go to a chiropractor ,get some X-rays and mabe get refered to...

Noel this has been my question since the beginning so many people have had neck problems and jaw./It is somatic and connected to T in someway.I am a musician many years so hearing loss is an issue but I don't think it is the complete cause of tinnitus .It may be one trigger but the main cause I...
