    Only 4 Days Deaf in One Ear, Cannot Cope with Tinnitus

    I am so sorry @Charron this is happening to you. You'll beat this. We all do by continuing to live everyday making a conscious decision to be grateful that we get to walk, breath, smell, see and hear the world even if there's an intrusive annoying sound that drives us crazy. Life changed at one...

    Tinnitus and Recreational Drugs — Advice?

    Anything that stimulates/suppresses and affects the central nervous system in any way, shape or for WILL affect T without a doubt. Will it do more permanent damage? Your body decides. I would say it is more like asking for trouble if you want to risk it.

    Morning Anxiety Struggle

    Thank you. I am going to look into it. Doing nothing definitely hasn't helped me! I have been researching Tinnitus treatment providers in my area (New England) and I cannot believe that most are not in-network with any medical insurances. You basically pay out of pocket. How could that be? I am...

    Morning Anxiety Struggle

    Hi @Natalie Roberts, Everything you describe is exactly how I am with my T. It is amazing how you explain your patterns and behaviors towards your T and it is like you are talking about me. (y). My journey began earlier this year. I have to commend you because you are doing a lot more than me...

    I am constantly comparing my life before and after T. Always hoping right before I go to bed that in the morning this noise will be gone... You know a "movie miracle moment"...

    I am in Rhode Island too. Have you found a doctor here? I just moved here and don't know where to go. It seems like everyone offering any type of Tinnitus Treatment is in other parts of New England... I am desperate...

    I can relate but do we really want to let it win? It feels like it does most days. I hate it. I hate what it's done to my mental peace. I have been tormented with depression and panic for most of my life and almost a year ago this just decided to pop in. It just doesn't seem to be fair... Never...

    Is Your Tinnitus a "Moving Target" Too?

    Constantly moves like it has a mind of its own and gets bored if it "stays in one place" for too long. :confused:

    New and Scared for My Life

    I find it to be extremely irresponsible for someone to come on this site and go as far as mentioning suicide as a their possible solution. I understand and I REALLY understand what it feels like when you suddenly and without warning start hearing this intrusive loud noise(s) and how agonizing...

    My Story with Tinnitus and Mental Illness

    @billie48 thank you so much for kind works. Your success story gives me hope. Finding this forum appeases me as I realize I am not alone in this. As you know, our pre-existing mental struggles can worsen when you throw T into the mix. I am currently trying to find a good CBT provider but it...

    My Story with Tinnitus and Mental Illness

    It has been about 4 months since tinnitus (T) decided to attack my life and stick around, apparently for good. I have suffered from depression, panic attacks and a mood disorder for over 20 years. I do not know how to explain what triggered the sudden ringing one day. I will never forget it. No...
