Do you have any specific short term goals regarding improving your life with T? Mine is to get a hearing test and get hearing aids if necessary. I am also making sure my diet is more balanced and getting vitamins and minaerals so I have no nutritional deficiences.

what would be the book's title? Why did you pick that title? No, I am not writing a book about my experience with tinnitus, I just thought this would be a thought-provoking/fun question.

Has tinnitus made you give up any "bad" habits, bad being subjective of course. -I don't worry about minor inconveniences anymore and wish I had been less anxious in the past. Getting the wrong change by a few cents back from a sales clerk is no longer grounds for getting upset. Who cares...

Having tinnitus will not keep me from: -enjoying the big blockbusters that will come out this summer (zombie movie World War Z starring Brad Pitt come to mind :)). -looking at old family pictures and reminicsing. -losing weight and improving my overall health. -from watching re-runs of my...

-I cant imagine construction workers having to work around so much noise, even with noise protection. The jack hammers-yikes!:eek: -Bartenders- if the bar is very loud and they are working every night - Air traffic controllers I know there are alot of obvious one I am leaving out- your...

There is a wide range of ages, nationalities and personalities on this board. So what were you like in high school? Did you belong to a clique? I am sure some of you will say you don't believe in cliques or dont like to label yourselves but what were you like in high school? Jock, valley girl...

Please answer the questions below. Check others' responses first so you can see how to format your answers. 1.) What ear(s) is your T in? 2.) Would you describe the sound as coming from the ear or do you find it is coming from inside your head (and where in the head- middle, side, back...

Anyone planning on traveling anywhere soon, either for business or holiday? Any trips you are looking forward to? Unfortunately, I dont travel, but I can live vicariously through some of you :) And to keep this on topic, does your T effect your traveling, does T bother you less when you...

Has anyone tried a product called The EarPopper. It is supposed to help clear ear fluid and help ears pop. You put the machine up your nose and it produces a suction/air which helps clear ears. I don't know if it is safe. https://www.amazon.com/EarPopper-Home-Version-Summit-Medical/dp/B01MU03MER/

At the moment, I am not doing anything to manage the T. No aids, no maskers, no meds. This will probably change in the near future, but right now I am doing nothing to manage the T. Is anyone doing this approach right now or decided to 'do nothing' about the T long term? It is an interesting...

Tinnitus has made me realize a lot of things and I see that as a positive. -I appreciate my family a lot more now. I wish I wouldn't have squabbled over minor things with them. Before I had tinnitus my family would argue a lot. Having tinnitus reminds me not to sweat the small stuff. -I...

I was wondering what has been everyone's experience with doctors and how seriously they treat your tinnitus-related concerns. Does your GP, ENT, neurologist or therapists take your T concerns as seriously as you do? Or are they dismissive?

Now that we have experienced tinnitus, has anyone here felt like it is their duty to warn other people they know about T? How about strangers? When I see a person (usually a teen) with their ipods so loud, I wish I could walk over to them and warn them about T. It is not worth it to listen to...

The first thing I thought about when I saw the news that a meteorite fell/hit in Russia was about the sonic boom that was reported. All I could think about was the hearing loss/tinnitus that might have resulted from that. Anyone else have this thought cross their mind? How conscious are you...

I have been to other boards where the title of a post will say "I have been cured of tinnitus". When I read the body of the post,it says "I have learned to ignore the tinnitus/ I no longer suffer from it. I have been cured". If you could learn to ignore your T, would it be as good as an actual...

I believe in God. I used to ask God why I got tinnitus. Now I feel prayer/my relationship with God makes it easier to cope with T. I do also do more "practical" things like go to the ent, schedule tests, consider hearing aids if needed or tinnitus retraining.

I did a search and didn't find this, so I was wondering how old you were whe you developed tinnitus? I was 32. I was always careful with my hearing. I never listened to music too loud, used ear protection when I knew I would be around loud sounds. Still, I got tinnitus at the age of 32.
