I can't wait to play this and the neuromodulation track in my car once they're available on the T network. My passengers will be in awe.

If I were you, I might take some time off, but no more than a semester or quarter, in order to find ways to cope. For example, you might want to see what sounds mask your T or make you feel comfortable. Perhaps establish better sleep patterns. I would work on setting up a schedule that minimizes...

I like hearing that the researcher is motivated enough to say that he wants to find a treatment for T people within 5 years. Like some others here, I say do what makes you happy, but I also say do what you can manage. Med school costs a lot of money, as I'm sure you know. And it is stressful...

I was on .5 mg clonazepam for a while (1 week, then cut off a bit so I was taking about .4 mg for 2 weeks). So, 3 weeks total at first. When I tried to stop, sleep was impossible. I took one yesterday just for relief. Now I get a weird feeling in my foot, like it is vibrating. At first I thought...

hi hps, I have multiple tones (3 I think) and part of me thinks it would be nice to just have hissing, as mine fluctuates a lot and can't be masked ... but I'm guessing that's not the case with you? You dislike the hissing. Also, what dose were you taking?

I'm not sure if this is in another thread, but ... My tinnitus is sometimes easier to mask if I play white noise and music at the same time ... does anyone know of a way to combine 2 tracks on a mac? Feel free to just conversation me as I do not want to clutter this thread with different...

@jazz Yeah, I have a feeling something is wrong with my eustachian tubes these days, and that they are contributing to my tinnitus, so I'll avoid using the valsalva maneuver as I land and after I get off. It's more than a feeling, actually ... in the first step of drawing up mucus from my...

Hm, I think I read somewhere that inside a car (which has been giving me ear trouble lately), decibel levels are right around 70, so about the same as a shower, then. I'm with Markku, though. No need for them in the shower ... unless you take really long showers.

It settled after 2 months ... that gives me some hope here. However, I'm sorry to read about your worsening from the car ride. @Petloy and @hps I am discovering that after about 30 minutes on the freeway, the T in my left ear starts acting up. Now, I may or may not wear earplugs and almost...

Yeah, I may or may not be using earplugs the next time I go on any trip longer than 10 minutes. It would be best to use etymotics, alpines, or flesh-colored earplugs; these are less visible ... it may be illegal to wear earplugs while driving depending on where you drive.

Also, I'm asking because I am on my to see my ENT next week (Monday). Should I just tell him: I'm depressed and anxious, how about some Remeron?

So, I was a bit depressed before my two new kinds of tinnitus came into my life, and now, I am even more depressed, especially upon waking. Getting out of bed is hard. Took 2 hours this morning. I know that remeron is prescribed for depression. I don't think it will do anything for my tinnitus...

Hi Hudson, I'm down to .25 mg klonopin daily. Been taking it for a little over three weeks. I won't bore you with my klonopin story (no bad side effects ... a bit more anxious now, probably because I'm taking less). I don't think it has changed my tinnitus much, just made me care a lot less...

I recently got some, but the fit isn't perfect; there is occlusion when I talk. I'm taking them back to get them remade.

Hi, I am in the US and looking to try acupuncture. I don't think it will do anything for my T, I just want to try it. But, I want to make sure I go somewhere that is clean and safe. Any advice on how to find a good (or even great) acupuncturist?

Thanks for getting back to me @Map, I appreciate it. I hope things improve.

Thanks, Markku, I appreciate the good vibes!

@Map can you please comment on your T after getting off Xanax? Right now I am taking klonopin ... I *need* to take klonopin to get through the next two weeks. After that, I plan on quitting/tapering. I *think* it has lowered my T volume, but not sure. My main question for you is: After you got...

My T fluctuates. For example, when I'm in my car, the T in my left ear will sound off every now and then for less than a second. It's almost as if I'm drowning out the T with the car sounds, but the T keeps popping its head up, refusing to drown. Then I turn on the music (at as low a volume as...

That's okay, @Deep, I'm just glad you followed up and got back to us. Thanks!

I think certain people like us need a "crutch" and that crutch happens to be Tinnitus Talk. Perhaps other people have better support systems, and don't need Tinnitus Talk initially. I know I'm here because I don't have anyone else to talk about tinnitus with where I am from. I think that once...

Who else? Is this how it is for most people, you think? Quieter as the months go by? Do you think the attrition here (number of people not returning to Tinnitus Talk) is indicative of habituation or improvement/changing of the tinnitus? (Sorry @Karen, not trying to "grill" you here, your comment...

This is interesting. @carlover, can you comment on the success of Traditional Chinese medicine? Although I imagine it would be hard to compare Chinese and Western from the patient's point of view since Chinese and Western patients probably have different definitions of "good" health ... but do...

I'm convinced that anything I can find in the Vitamin Shoppe won't help me. (Vitamin Shoppe ... American store ... Olde English spelling?) Although some people here like Magnesium ... I might try chelated magnesium. I'm currently more interested in the exotic stuff from Asian countries, since...

Hi @click and others, I had tubes put in my ears when I was little. I have since been injured by sounds. I have noticed that in the morning my tinnitus is worse in my right ear, but can instantly be made better (not eliminated) by doing the valsalva maneuver. When I do this, it is like a...

http://www.nutrivene.com/view_item.php?id=215 The letter is dated April 1, bit I don't think they're kidding.

So I see that at least two people have used piracetam to get rid of T. However, I also noticed that @Markku used it but with no result. And, starting June 1, in the US, you need a prescription to get piracetam. Piracetam looks interesting, but I got a bad feeling about it.

Hi @calin, any success with this? I'm guessing no ...

Thanks for the response, Hudson. I've also thought about that; if I left my job now, would I just spiral into nothing, constantly worrying about my tinnitus? I'm not aware of any support groups ... there are some ATA support groups, but that would mean I'd have to go into Los Angeles, I think...

So the doc didn't say anything about the clinking noise; said it is probably just more tinnitus. He had the nurse take some blood to do some tests. He also gave me a prescription for clonazepam. I know this drug has not been good to some on here, but I need some relief. I don't know how...

Also, for whoever is reading this: For the past four years, I thought there was only white, pink and brown noise. I recently found out about violet noise and like it a lot more. Not as harsh.

What happened was the barber turned on his clippers next to my ear and I know they were not adjusted properly, so they were unusually loud. I have been to this place many times before, and so I was not expecting this at all. Very loud. It is not hyperacusis, although I do think my threshold is...

Wow, now I think I have pulsatile tinnitus in my left ear after getting a haircut. Let's see if it's still there in the morning. Before, I thought that God hates me. Now, I know he hates me.

Hm, I can't go back and edit so ... @Karl. Sorry if the manner in which I am going about this annoys anyone ....

Hi Karen, Thanks for responding! I will go back and edit the post so that I include the @ sign. Thanks also for the kind words. As for the kitty avatar, I like kittens, and I feel a little better after looking at them. It was either the kitten or Michelangelo ... Michelangelo looked far too...

Also, I would like to say that it is **kind of** like a clinking sound. I guess sometimes it is more like a wavering high-frequency sound that goes away whenever the white noise is removed. I am really torn on HBO therapy btw. I heard it could make things worse.

Hello, I have only posted once in these types of forums before, and that was when I first got T back in 2009. Well, a speaker went off pretty loud near my head just recently and has increased my T. It has been increased for the past 5 weeks. I am despairing that my T, which I worked so hard to...
