    What Is Reactive Tinnitus?

    No. He uses he his free time on Tinnitus Talk because he has nothing else to do with it. Which tells me all I need to know.

    What Is Reactive Tinnitus?

    I think the only confusion there is might reside inside your own head. Subsequently, you might be adding to the confusion here on the board because of your outdated regurgitated knowledge. There is in fact a term called "reactive tinnitus" - and no, it is not the same as hyperacusis. You might...

    Will Loud Music Guarantee Me a Louder / Worse Tinnitus?

    Thanks for the information. But, I have no idea as to how the definition of what the cochlea is relates to the dichotomy of a noun vs. an adjective. Do help me out if I missed the plot.

    will.i.am Suffers from Tinnitus? How Can He Be in Loud Environments?

    Michael: why would you be medically retired if you had TRT with "good results" as per your own words? Makes no sense.

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    Michael, while I collect a "bar of soap" why don't you acquaint yourself with the Cochrane Review on TRT - you can find it here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/why-trt-fails-people.6389/page-3#post-69632

    Hyperacusis, As I See It

    Ohhh.......... so someone gives Michael a little push back on his knowledge and now suddenly you don't know how to defend yourself and your mindless self-constructed theories. I guess it didn't take much to bring down your house of cards.

    Hyperacusis, As I See It

    Michael, between these two alternatives... Attending a loud concert Sitting in a quiet library ...which one is the more likely to cause tinnitus and possibly hyperacusis? Try not to think too hard about it, and when you have found the (right) answer, it should be self-evident that an underuse...

    Will Loud Music Guarantee Me a Louder / Worse Tinnitus?

    Mr. Leigh - don't you think its time for you to get back to your elementary school teacher job? You would fit the role perfectly (assuming you could master basic grammar, of course): "Cochlear" is an adjective (i.e. "cochlear disorder") but you are using it as a noun (i.e. "the cochlea") and...

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    Mate... no one would spend their entire Friday evening (actually night) posting on a bloody tinnitus board, if they didn't have tinnitus AND also suffered from it. No one. And if you are such an authority on TRT (with 21 years worth of knowledge), how come you manage to spell "Jastreboff"...

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    A treatment that depends on the person's attitude is not a treatment. And in the same breath-of-air, if the treatment worked so well for you, what the hell are you doing posting every other minute on a tinnitus forum? Why aren't you out and about in the real world? For goodness' sake. It's like...

    Does It Truly Get Better?

    80% of them are self-deceit. A fairy tale made to convince the original posters (themselves) that it gets better.

    Does It Truly Get Better?

    You could also ask yourself a rhetorical question: if it truly does get better, why would a board such as this exist in the first place?

    What on Earth Is Happening at the Hyperacusis Network Forum?

    The following is the kind downright stupid advice Rob x 2 has dispensed in the past ad nauseam: On the contrary a person DOES need to worry about hyperacusis. Hyperacusis can strike at any time. The fact that a person has already developed problems with the inner ear should raise more than...

    What Is Habituation Like with Really Loud Tinnitus?

    Always good to see the average member engaging in a bit of delusional reverse psychology: if I can convince myself (read: fool myself) that I am doing better, then perhaps I can also convince my surroundings of the same. Somehow the following quote comes to mind: "You can fool all the people...

    A Question for the Cured People (If They Are Still Around)

    The chances of finding a cured person on a tinnitus forum are about as high as finding a vindicated person on death row. Actually... it sometimes feels a bit like death row here...

    Might Need to Get Off the Forum for a While

    Well, well, well........ seems to me you complained about the "false-hope"-problem yourself?????? I do not need to worry about whether I am fun or not at parties. I don't go. Too many fake people you see.

    Might Need to Get Off the Forum for a While

    I don't think it is about giving the OP grief or not. It is about all those who read his success story, and, who then happen to see his next post. How do you think it makes those people feel??? Perhaps the posters in this thread should consider picking up a copy of "The Emperor's New Clothes".

    Might Need to Get Off the Forum for a While

    Not so fast. The quote I mentioned was taken from the section called "Success Stories". Read the entire thread which starts with this quote: Like I wrote, the post was taken from this week - Tuesday to be exact. That's just 3 days ago. Not exactly an old post, right? You wrote you have...

    Might Need to Get Off the Forum for a While

    Hmmm... as late as this week, you were explaining to others how you had habituated: And now you are telling this community that you - yourself - are not getting better. Have you heard about what is often called "false hope"?
