    I'm Not Dead

    Thank you. Eating healthy and any activity that reduces stress and inflammation helped me. But the main thing is just time. You gotta give yourself time to "get used to it". But in the mean time get massages and facials, yoga, meditation, spending a lot of lot of time outside. Staying away from...

    I'm Not Dead

    It's always there. And I always notice it but it's just a passing thought. I don't focus on it. I'm not going to lie to you dude. It bothered me A LOT for the first 2 years. But you just joined so I'm assuming your tinnitus is new and it can go away. Get some prednisone (shots or oral). Most...

    Can't Sleep AT ALL without the Help of Xanax — Tinnitus So Loud

    You build a tolerance and have to increase dosage pretty frequently. It's unavoidable. And you won't go through the horror story withdrawals as long as you taper off VERY slowly.

    Can't Sleep AT ALL without the Help of Xanax — Tinnitus So Loud

    I'd get another doctor. Any doctor with half a brain will have no problem prescribing benzos to a new sufferer of tinnitus. I'd suggest a therapeutic run of them and not long term though. Use them the first 6-12 months to give you time to try to wrap your head around dealing with this noise. I...

    Can't Sleep AT ALL without the Help of Xanax — Tinnitus So Loud

    Dont beat yourself up. I took Xanax for the first year man. It's a shock to your emotions to always be in distress. Use the Xanax to sleep while you try different treatments and while you become more accustomed to the ringing. Whenever you decide to stop definitely slowly taper off. Don't stop...

    Best Anti-Inflammatory / Alternative Treatment for EARLY Tinnitus?

    It's just started and it's in one ear, you sound a lot like a few people I've know in real life. One was a medicine they took, one was allergies, both had temporary tinnitus from inflammation. Both got prednisone shots and prednisone pills and it was gone for one in 2 months and the other just...

    Best Anti-Inflammatory / Alternative Treatment for EARLY Tinnitus?

    Everyone hears ringing in ACTUAL complete silence. An example. When I was in prison in my early 20s I didn't have tinnitus. But at night when there was no noise and you sit in your cell, you hear ringing while reading or w.e. not just me, ask anyone who's been locked up.

    How Do You Play Video Games without Hurting Ears?

    A50s are expensive and have very clean sound so they work well at low volumes and you will still be able to hear people creeping up on you.

    How Do You Play Video Games without Hurting Ears?

    My tinnitus is the same and I'm not cross eyed. I wear Astro a50s and only use them with the volume very low. Doesn't seem to make my tinnitus spike, but you have to use them lowwww.

    Exercise or No Exercise for Sinus/ETD Related Tinnitus?

    My t is always higher after the gym but it always returns to normal. I go 5 times a week. I attribute my ability to keep positive to staying in shape and being healthy. So if you can handle your t being louder for a little after the gym til you shower and chill, then I'd go ahead and do it. But...

    I'm kind of abrasive. I need to learn to word myself better to not offend or sound cold hearted when I'm trying to give positive encouragement.

    What Do You Still Enjoy in Spite of Tinnitus?

    Also I used my suicidal thought to just strengthen myself on this planet. When I reached the point of "if it's my time it's my time" I started doing human suspension which lowers my t for days after doing it sky diving, base jumping jumping off a boat and swimming miles out at sea. I live more...

    What Do You Still Enjoy in Spite of Tinnitus?

    I still enjoy everything. Definitely didnt enjoy anything at first. The biggest thing that bothered me in the beggining was not being able to focus on reading because I read to calm myself down. But I read daily now. Pretty much the only thing that was 100% negatively affected by t was music, I...

    Did I once say to not have your own opinion? I was just trying to say I've felt the same and I'm okay now. Tinnitus really brings out the worst in people. I acted how you are now and I finally understand why my wife left me. The energy here is horrible.

    How would one have a ego about tinnitus? You're projecting your thoughts onto me. Sorry for telling you that it will be easier to deal with down the road. Do you act like this to people in your day to day life? Peoples true colors come out when they're suffering and you are a shitty person

    And what exactly did you expose of me? You made assumptions that's about it. You are a miserable mf and I never said I had great words of wisdom.

    Earplug Failure or Bone Conduction? Construction Noise Caused a Tinnitus Spike

    I used plugs only in the beggining because of ear pain. I feel like using ear plugs makes shit worse in the long run. Spikes happen to me regularly. I stopped trying to avoid them. CBD helps my ear pain and spikes a lot.

    Tinnitus Spike After Going to a Carnival?

    In my experience whenever I'm somewhere loud and have a spike caused from that, it's ALWAYS extreme as well as a bit longer lasting than when it's stress induced. But it has never stayed, it always goes back to the normal level after a week.
