Will this be safe? I'll be wearing headphones most of the day and making calls

Could it be possible that because of my increased attention to T lately that it sparks some some sort of mechanism in my brain by allowing more fleeting tinnitus pass the filter barrier? Past couple of weeks i get like 2-3 fleeting tinnitus "attacks" a day. This made me worried. Is my T worsening?

I've been taking Zolpidem for about two weeks now (I used it before developing tinnitus). Finals are coming up, and I struggle with sleep during stressful times like this (normally, I sleep fine even with tinnitus). However, over the past few days, my tinnitus has been off the charts. Could...

I've already read super brain by Deepak Chopra & Rudolph Tanzi, and I'm planning on reading "The brain's way of healing" by norman doidge. Any other recommendations? These books are a big help at keeping me motivated to stay calm to master my reaction to tinnitus, so one day my brain might...

So I've had tinnitus for 10 months now. The last two months i've really gotten the habituation of reaction down, I think. I don't panic anymore, I don't cry everyday anymore, I don't frantically try to avoid the ringing anymore, I've picked up my life again, etc. So how long before my brain...

I've been wondering this because my TRT specialist told me that it's normal for hearing hair cells to die of old age. She ensured me that T wouldn't worsen, but I'd like to hear your opinions.

So, is it possible to habituate while you're depressed because of T. My reaction to T seems neutral (I think). I don't really panic that much anymore when I hear it. But I am generally depressed because of T. I feel sad and I feel as if life's pleasures have been taken away from me. I cry a lot...

Is it possible, if you're habituated, to focus on something in a silent room (like studying) without noticing your T?

Could someone explain to me what medically happens in your brain when you habituate to tinnitus? Not just " you get used to the sound, it doesn't bother you anymore, you won't hear it as much anymore" More in terms like "this part of your brain does that, which leads to another reaction from...

So I came down with an ear infection in my left ear this week. And my left ear has been ringing on and off for the past 3 days. Will this eventually go away when the infection clears? Because I normally just have T on my right ear and I don't really feel like having it on my left as well.

I went to a TRT specialist who gave me the therapy. Basically what he did was explain to me how our hearing works and how the jastreboff model kind of gives you control over what you hear, through the limbic system. He gave me the 10-second exercise to do at home. But that was basically it. Now...

Let's start with what kind of T I have. My T was induced by an acoustic trauma, my ENT assured me it was only temporary as no hair cells were damaged, they were only bent and were working their way back up. Which they eventually did after 2 months of the onset. But the T stayed. Basically I have...

So here is my story. I have tinnitus caused by an acoustic trauma for 5 months now. Now recently my tinnitus started to change after my fourth month in, it started to quiet down. During my initial months it was practically impossible for me to sleep or study in a quiet room, now I do it all the...

I've been wondering this for a while now. I have tinnitus for about 4 months now and I'm convinced it's gradually fading away (which is wonderful!). I'm not sure if I'm habituating or if I'm one of the lucky ones who's tinnitus completely just dissapears(fingers crossed). I do know I'm not in...
