    Tinnitus Cycles Connected to Mood Cycles?

    I'm still trying to figure out the cycles of my T. One new idea is, that it might be related to unconscious mood cycles. One observation is that on a spike day I feel like having slept very poorly without apparent reason. As after sever nightmares or so. But I cannot remember. Its just that...

    Corticosteroids for Chronic Tinnitus

    I want to share here my experiences of corticosteroids for chronic tinnitus. My tinnitus baseline is left to central sound and mild to moderate. But more bothering is a sharp sound more in my left ear which is severe and afflicts me about 2 - 3 days a week. T origin is unknown. Onset 10 month...

    Question About Single Frequency Hearing Loss

    I was shocked to discover my hearing to be much more damaged than the hearing tests show. ENT just overlooked it, relying on their shitty test. My left ear is not able to hear a loud pure tone between 10khz and 10.8khz. The threshold I can just guess: 50db. Below and above my hearing is fine...

    Cause as Much Costs as Possible!

    To raise awareness at the right people, the best thing the average tinnitus patient can do is: Cause as much medical costs as possible! If you have health insurance, it is covered anyway and analyzed by the insurer. Only high expenditures for tinnitus will lead to more research to treat it...

    Rewiring the Brain

    I'm just wondering if anybody already tried the following: There is the theory that tinnitus emerges if someone loses quickly a significant part of hearing. In the attenuated frequencies the brain tries to amplify and creates phantom sound instead. Even though this might not be evident in all...

    Why Is DTL Following the TRT Lies?

    I just stumbled over a thread in German DTL forum, which upsets me pretty much. DTL is the German counterpart to ATA. The the official DTL moderator states that T is always the same level and only perception makes it better or worse. To state this in general is a pure lie and reminds me of TRT...

    Scared of Silence

    I'm going in holiday with my girlfriend tommorow. 5 days hiking in the alps. Unfortunately I cannot be happy about it. T is all I can think about and I am scared about the silence in the mountains, since I am really tortured by my T already here. Also these happy events always show me how...

    Variation in Stress

    Dear commnunity, I'm six month in now and it seems that my severity level changes periodically with increasing periodic time. My last "up" was about maybe 1 week long culminating ten days ago with writing my mom that for two days I've almost no T anymore. I stayed away from TT because I didn't...

    Wearable Noise Generators with Natural Sounds

    Hi guys, I'm really struggling with my T. Especially today it just sucks. Like many others of you I've found that cicada sound helps best to mask my T. Even on low volume it seems to inhibit it somehow, whereas white noise is poison for my ears. Most time outside I'm good but anyway I would...

    Tinnitus from Ears to Head. How to Get Rid of It?

    Hi all, First I want to thank the people behind this forum very much. Without the help of you I'd be lost by now. Now my question: I've T for 4 month now. Usually my left ear made the noise. A very high pitched sound, which I gradually began to hear in my head and other ear as well. Currently...

    Ultra High-Pitch Hurts Me...

    Hi mates, Ive a ultra high pitched T since 3.5 month. I would say its around 14kHz, left centered and rather narrow band than tonal. My problem for acceptance is, it simply hurts me in calm environments. And it feels like making me tired even when I'm in louder places not aware of it. Does...

    My Life Changed 3 Months Ago...

    Hello all, I'm not happy for the reasons I join this community. But still, it's better to be together in this than being just on your own. Also I write the following introduction down for the very hope that someday in the future I will re-read those words and they will be not more than a...
