    Collective Mass Suicide

    Not before it happens the world will never really appreciate the seriousness, pain and agony of having T. There will never be focus on us as a patient group, cause were all weird psychology cases with some silly noises inside our heads, They will never value us correctly, we will never receive...

    Progress Report: Third LDL-Test

    Just following up on my H assessment here. Did my third LDL-test today, it showed unchanged hypersensitivity on one ear but a slight improvement on the other. It feels the same for me on both ears cause H is all consuming as many of you may know. Also, I think I was a little more brave on one...

    My very first brief encounter with almost silence.

    As some of you may know I have very loud and constant T. I've never ever experienced any decrease except from a very slight decrease whilst on benzo's. But it's more like brain based perceived feeling of relief, like being knocked out and nummed, but it doesn't really lower my T level. After...

    Someone here with a chronic incurable condition in addition to tinnitus?

    First of all, not saying T is incurable forever but right NOW it's classified as such in medical terms. So to my topic. I sometimes wonder if other people with visible or invisible chronic deceases have T as well? Or if anyone here have something even worse than T that could compare or bring...

    God, Prayers and Miracles — An Alternative for All?

    Several billion people believe in Jesus and God, meaning they believe its possible to be healed from all sorts of stuff cause after all miracles and healing power is described in the bible. That so many people belong to this believe is within itself a little weird, especially because it can...

    Mayo Clinic in the United States

    I'm trying to find out if I still could have hearing loss in the ultra high frequencies (above 8000 Hz) 250hz-8000hz is where my two tests have been but I want to get to the bottom of this. I sent an email to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association cause I know that Americans have a...

    OCD or Change in Behavior Pattern After Tinnitus

    Anyone noticed a change in context of repetitive behavior after T onset? I feel my T has created a significant change in my behavior pattern and I'm always looking for some stress relief. It's like the brain is always "spinning" on high gear, like a computer hard drive trying to store...

    Feedback Save Post Function

    Dunno if anyone have suggested this before, I never found anything by search: How about a "save this post" function? From time to time I read posts that I wanna keep, I copy the text and save them as .txt files on my hd. A save feature that puts a copy in my profile would be neat. Just like a...

    Hyperacusis with No Tinnitus?

    Always wondered if it's possible to have H without T and I'm not referring to Phonophobia/Misophonia here. This forum is full of people with T and no H but I've never heard from anyone that have "only" H with no T. Or if someone have been struggling with both and ended up having just the H. The...

    Unpleasant Electric Shock Response to Everyday Noise

    After I got tinnitus I've been experiencing some very physical reaction patterns to noise. When I hear things that I don't know is coming I can get this really fast electrical impulse sensation running with high speed trough my body, it all takes under a second before it leaves. The noise or...

    Do you think your inner ear is drasticly weakened and more vulnerable forever by tinnitus?

    I'm not talking about more vulnerable as in living in an increasingly noisy world (that's been covered in prior posts) but because we now have T in our lives. If you already have a slight, a moderate, or a severe hearing loss, will that itself represent a larger chance of getting even more...

    Hyperacusis Caused by Hearing Loss?

    I've had two different hearing tests since June. The first was preformed by an ENT, the last one was with an audiologist and a bit more complex. Both tests came out fine, thus meaning no hearing loss. However I also did a threshold test for my H the last time around and the audiologist clearly...

    To Fight a Moving Target

    I have tried to visualize how my T looks like with this simple curve. What I'm trying to show is that the pitch character of the sound is moving up and down in an endless motion, in context of habitation or TRT I've been anxious if it will be difficult to adapt because it's like fighting a...

    "Don't listen to people on those forums" - Heard it before?

    I'm still picking up different books on T trying to learn as much as I can on this mysterious condition. Some literature can be classified as guidance and self help books, other books takes a more medical and scientific approach. I've had some interesting days while reading books on T&H that's...

    How to Explain Tinnitus to Friends and Family

    The good thing about this forum is that I don't have to explain too much about my T. We're all in the same boat although we have different characters to our condition. But how do you explain the curse to family and friends? I met an old friend today and I just wanted to tell him, so I started to...

    Threshold Testing in Conjuction with Hyperacusis & Tinnitus Treatment

    I'm awaiting my second ENT assessment, as much as I dislike ENT docs. I need a referral from them to see an audiologist to treat my H. I've heard some nasty stuff about threshold measuring and some say both their T and H got worse after they went trough a threshold test. I called the audiologist...

    Any experience with Valencia Clinic in Tallinn?

    When I hear of clinics thats claim to have a good track record in regards to T treatment I always try to retain a degree of healthy skepticism, but I've been reading up on some patient stories in reliable newspapers in my part of the world (Scandinavia) that writes that a place called Valencia...

    Medical Tinnitus Philosophy in China — Oxygen Levels

    I'm corresponding with a Chinese T sufferer that uses a personal oxygen apparatus to treat his condition, in addition he also does HBO. His personal oxygen generator cost about £700. He says that in China they think lack of oxygen could be the reason T thrives and he went to tell me that many...

    Acoustic shock injury - central nervous system damage or inner ear damage?

    Been reading a lot on how T&H can occur and/or develop. The list of causes has been published here several times but when I read stuff like "Hyperacusis may develop with a number of conditions affecting the auditory pathway, including acoustic shock injury" I ask myself what is acoustic shock...

    Which battles do you fight?

    It's past 04:30 in the morning as I write this post - yet another sleepless night. It's been many of them since I got T in June. No sleep is my average these days. I was sitting up watching a movie called Jackie Brown (Quentin Tarantino/1997) that had a lot of retro soul music in it, my type...

    When is a soundwave a friend and when is it an enemy?

    I keep reading from posts here that loud sound exposure spikes up the T considerably, I can relate to that but since I have hyperacusis as well I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. Every H treatment report I read emphasis how important it is not to avoid sounds that feels too loud and...

    The difference between hearing tests? Is there a standard one?

    When I did my hearing test I received many high frequency sounds that I was supposed to confirm by clicking a button. Many of these signals met the same high pitched frequency as my T signal so then I started to think: "how am I supposed to hear a signal when its identical to the static signal...

    How Did I Get Tinnitus?

    Dr. Shemesh Israel Clinic — Scam or Genuine?

    Masking Levels vs. Damage

    Hi, In addition to high pitched T I have Hyperacusis. This is the first thread I create here in the forum. I haven't managed to find any other thread or post on this exact topic so here we go: I'm a little hesitant to using masking sounds because for it to have any effect I need to raise the...
