    Do Not Underestimate the Power of Habituating to Tinnitus

    Hi guys, I remember the day I was woken up by a multi-tone variable pitch ringing in my left ear. August 7, 2016. I remember sitting in my car after pulling into work and googling "ringing in ear cause" and then learning about tinnitus. I will confess, I spiralled deep into a very dark place-...

    Back to Normal

    That's great news! I think if I sat down and thought about it, my reaction to T is what really distressed me. When you habituate, you no longer have that reaction ergo your T is as good as gone!

    Back to Normal

    My T started one random day in August. I was in the middle of a bad bout of the flu when I woke up to this loud two-tone sound that seemed to come from my left ear, which would go for a few seconds then stop then start again. I initially thought nothing of it and put it down to maybe sleeping on...

    I've Beaten My Tinnitus

    Mate, why are you getting so worked up? One thing tinnitus has reminded me on a daily basis is the quote 'Be kind- for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about'. I have tinnitus coming up to two months now. It keeps me awake at night, it has reduced my social life to zero...

It is two distinct tones, one after the other. Starts out kind of low then goes high until it either stops or...

    Five weeks in, just saying hi. (long story)

    Thanks so much for the kind words @MikeP505 and @billie48 I definitely think stress plays such a big role in this. I can tune out dozens of keyboards at work, the constant whir of the photocopy machine, plenty of different beeps from different devices, and the mumbling of people talking- why...

    July 10 — Tinnitus Came Back / As of September 3, Tinnitus Again Almost 90% Gone

    Hi @heartohelp Thanks for the good thread! I'm about a month and a week in to my fight with T. Around the same age as you and I've been feeling down that I'd have to deal with this for the next 50-60 years of my life instead of getting it when I'm old and grey :) Anyway, my T is only really...

    Five weeks in, just saying hi. (long story)

    Hi all, I hope you’d forgive the long post. I wanted to come say hello, and introduce myself. I’m a guy in my mid-twenties, and live in New Zealand. I like long drives, cooking, and reading  On the 7th of August 2016, I woke up one Sunday morning with a very distinct tone in my left ear that...
