Hi Everyone (new and old members), I have not been very active on the forum as of late because I am gradually getting back to my life as normal and am very much going through the different stages of habituation. Having experienced a setback these last weeks I am frequenting the forum more...

Hi Guys, Been a while since I posted on the forum, this last week I had a few episodes of anxiety attacks due to my tinnitus seeming louder than usual... I have the anxiety reasonably under control due to the fact that I already habituated once and trust I will habituate to this too if it...

Hi Guys, So this month is my 7th month and I left the worst of the anxiety behind me, I can sleep again without medication (although I do need ambient sound all night) and have quit taking benzos altogether which was a challenge to taper, luckily no increase in my tinnitus after tapering off...

Hi Guys, I might be needing a course of antibiotics and have been reading quite a bit about potential increases in tinnitus. The course would be 1x 1000mg of Azithromycin, 200 mg per day for 7 days for Doxycycline or 3x 500 mg per day for 7 days in case of Amoxicillin. 1. Has anyone had any...

Hi Guys, Seeing as Tinnitus Week is not creating any major waves and funding for research is pathetic maybe we as a community can try to petition celebrities known to have Tinnitus to join the cause? There are loads of celebs with Tinnitus such as: David Letterman William Shatner (who is a...

Hi Guys, Just wanted to share some positivity, yesterday the new edition to Men's Health fell on my mat. On the cover is Laidback Luke, a famous Dutch DJ who has Tinnitus for over 15 years. He seems in great shape physically and mentally!

Hi Guys, Wanted to share an interesting thing with you. This week I went for a massage at a traditional Thai Spa (we have many of these in my city) and it was great! The massages are basically the precursors to acupressure (like Shiatsu) and acupuncture and some of the techniques have been...

Hi Guys, Much has been said about habituation, whether you like it or hate it seemingly it's the best option available right now for making a ''full recovery''. Being barely three months in with my tinnitus I'm still having a lovely old time with my new uninvited guest and I'm just curious to...

Hi Everyone, About 10 months ago I had a serious bout of Vestibular Neuritis / Labyrinthitis, a (viral) infection of the vestibular nerve and labyrinth which resulted in heavy vertigo for about 3 - 4 weeks and came with tinnitus, hyperacusis, distorted sound perception (underwater sensation)...

Tinnitus got you down? That's completely understandable, sometimes life just throws crap at you and it's more than logical you are feeling down now. Just remember that nothing is permanent, feelings do change, as will our feelings toward tinnitus. It's just a long and tough process but in due...

Hi Guys, The last week and today I was suffering from bouts of extreme anxiety and paranoia. My tinnitus recently changed where I now started hearing a kind of wind sound (like an AC or distant plane) on the left side of my head , I already had a high pitched ring in both ears. I woke up with...

Hi Guys, I'm relatively new to the forum and to tinnitus, although I had bouts of tinnitus on and off for as long as I can remember it was always fleeting and usually gone within a short period of time. However as of 2 months ago I was struck by persistent tinnitus, high pitched (6khz)...

Hi Guys, I've been reading on this forum for some weeks now and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Chris, I'm 28 and I recently was struck with tinnitus (about 8 weeks ago). My T has most likely been caused by stress and is a mild/moderate high pitch of around 6khz in both ears and...
