First of all I wanted to apologize to those who felt bad because of my post. I am sorry, that is not what I meant writing those words. I am not a Troll, I am just an old member of TT who has recently dropped by this website to share his "ignorant views", as many called them, with this...

And just like that. Long time since the last time I logged into the forum, but a member sent me a private message to receive some support. Let me share my response with you all: I hope it might help somebody out there. ------- First of all, I am sorry to hear that you are going through this...

Well, it has been over two years with T... time goes by. It has been a long time since the last time I came to TT, and for some reason I was thinking about the ringing in my ears and decided to drop by just to tell everyone that I have lived a happy life since I´ve got tinnitus. I switched...

This is the success story that has helped me the most. I would not be as well as I am now without reading it. I read it first the time a long time ago. Wise words.

This week I intend to shoot a video talking about my experience and publish it in success stories. But I ll give some tips of what has worked for me (I ve done TRT and CBT) 1. Acceptance. 2. Listen to the veterans // learn about the condition // Read many success stories until you believe it...

I know what you mean my friend. We all have gone through tough times but there is calm after the storm ;) I can guarantee that.

My tinnitus is almost a year old and... I feel good.

Nothing

Hi guys, It´s been a long time since I haven´t come to this forum. Everything is fine with me. I still have T, nothing to worry about. Last night I went to my first gig since my T onset. Because of my job, I am a journalist, I had to cover the Queens of the Stone Age and Linkin Park gigs in...

I am leaving this forum. I don´t plan to be logging until october, when I will probably make a year with tinnitus. I promise to give an update then and it will be when I will write my own success story. The reason is that I am moving on. This is the next step in my T journey. Right now I feel...

out of TT. Send me a PM if you need anything

So far I´ve read 60 pages. Ignatius Relly, what bum :D

Might be. I am walking that way too. Only earplugs going to super loud places.

This is how I see it. Tinnitus research is underfunded, as it has been many times stated here. Why is it so? In my view: 1. Complexity of T. Ear + brain. 2. Lack of complaining from T sufferers. Lack of awareness. Silence about this noisy affliction. How many letters have you guys written to...

So why do you think the vast majority of this filthy rich people who have tinnitus do not donate? Obviously it is not because they cannot afford it. There are other reasons.

In the link I where it says the word "ruined" in my post takes you to an article about Martin´s T. He said that has worn earplugs for 10 years and never got worse.

As you might now Chris Martin, coldplay´s singer, has had tinnitus for years. Apparently his is that bad that it nearly ruined his musical career. Nevertheless he has continued doing great music and gives hundreds of gigs a year. His band makes good music, has lots of fans and he must be...

Yeah, I am from Madrid but my team is Barcelona. Nevertheless this year I would like Atletico Madrid to win because I am tired of Real and Barcelona always winning. If you ever come to Madrid or Barcelona let me know because I know people in both cities who could lend me their passes to watch a...

My Weekend: I went to one party on Friday. Went to a costume party on Saturday. Go shopping. Play videogames. Watch soccer game and started reading A conferacy of Dunces. Could it be better? Guess how many of these activities has been spoiled my T? exactly: NONE. Thanks Markku. I am currently...

In what way does that comment help you to overcome your tinnitus? Do not you realize that you are doing your own negative consuelling? By thinking that way you reinforce your idea that tinnitus is impossible to be overcome. I am not a strong person michela. In my view and own experience...

Hi Linds, Well both cities are alike and they are different at the same time. It is a long story to tell but those are two of my three favourite cities to live in Europe. The third one is Edinburgh.

Hi you all beautiful head ringers! I just woke up and I am ready to fully enjoy my weekend :) I am writting this post to keep up with the number of possitive posts I started posting for the last month. 3 months of hell and 1 so far of happiness :) So I keep on making this posts and...

It´s Lisbon. An amazing place!

If anyone wants to know, the picture with tinnitus is the first one. And yes, I am playing music!

I agree Billie. You are right, I won´t vent my feelings against someone again. My apologies.

That book is not stupid at all and I do not know what you have against Rob. This guy has helped THOUSANDS so as sp to get back to their lives and overcome their tinnitus. Good luck staying seated waiting for a cure Dan. I´ll take living life with my loud tinnitus than waiting for a cure that...

Me also. I was not posting much but I was living on the forums. However, what many people said is the whole truth. There is people there who have overcome a extremely loud tinnitus but their T does not have them. No reaction, no suffering. Best, Adrian

I was in Japan when I did 10 sessions of accupuncture. In short: 300 hundred euros flushed down the toilet. It did not touch my tinnitus. IMHO it is a lot of BS and mystical quackery. The only thing that has worked for me is habituation. Good luck for others!

Thanks! I see that your avatar is Will I am (or it does look like him). Anyway, I do not like his music at all. But in this video he talks about his tinnitus and he laughs about it :D . So you all in TT you´d better listen up to this homie and say YOO! RESPECT!

Remember John Lemon that "Happiness it´s a warm gun" BANG BANG SHOOT SHOOT!

Can you tell the difference? 1. 2. One pic is pre tinnitus and the other is post-tinnitus. There is no difference, I smile in both. Fuck you T :D

I am so HAPPY TO SEE HOW YOU, Mick, have improved over time. You were posting every single day here and in yuku: scared, but you are happy again and that is amazing. WELL DONE MATE! The same applies for me. I was suicidal for some days. Now I am not and I am happy again. I have Tinnitus so...

This noise can kiss our ass´s christine :D

I have been very scared of my T. Now I am not. My Tinnitus made me believe things that are not certain: I thought I was disabled for life. I thought I would never be able to work again. I thought I would be alone forever. I thought that I would never smile again. I thought I would never...

I have moderate tinnitus and I am happy. I can hear it most of the time except having significant noises like shower. FUCK Tinnitus. I REFUSE to be sad or depressed because of it. FuCK IT. I am going to live once and this screaming in my HEAD can go to HELL. I used to be scared because of my T...

I already posted this here but I think it would suit this section: I am as happy as I was before T since my level of happiness and my T do not go hand by hand anymore. I was very depressed about my T but not anymore. I do not give him the strength to determine my mood. So yes. I AM HAPPY AND...

I am as happy as I was before T since my level of happiness and my T do not go hand by hand anymore. I was very depressed about my T but not anymore. I do not give him the strength to determine my mood anymore. So yes. I AM HAPPY AND I LOVE BEING ALIVE! PS: That does not mean that I would...

Are you participating in the trial?

I think he did not insult anyone alibee. I think he just has put an extreme example. In my case I have a big nose as you can see in the picture and I can barely see it without the need to turn my eyes but I can see it. Sp cannot and others might not. Nevertheless that is not important. What it...

Hi Stephen! Are you going to regularly participate on this forum? I hope you stick around. I would love having someone here with your insight.

I totally agree with you billie! There is a lot of famous people who have T and they keep on living their lives. Letterman has made his show for over 20 years and has T. Tinnitus does not stop him being funny. Will I am has T, he is a musician and laughs at his T. And he is a musician. And...

Everyone is different. Everyone takes different speed. Deep down I think maybe if I keep telling people how crap I'm feeling then they wont expect much from me. I've gotten so used to being "sick" that I now completely play the role of a sick person You should immediately stop teling people...

Hi Deb! Glad to know I have helped you :) I did not meet dr. Nagler but I exchanged some private messages with him. Anyways, I contacted him, he is a very kind man and I read a lot of his posts. I do recommend you doing the same. Adrian

Stop wearing earplugs for your daily life. That is what my TRT clinician told me at first.

I don´t know what to tell you to help you. I think everyone here has already cheered you up as much as possible over the last three months and I think everything has already been told. So now it is your turn. There are two options: Be sad about tinnitus or live a a happy life without caring...

Of course I got drunk during the date! I was drinking sangria and wine immediately makes me tipsy hehe. Which is good because I start to say a lot of stupid jokes and laugh. Guys, one of the things that terrified my when I got T was that I thought I was going to be single the rest of my life. I...

I dated a girl, I got drunk and had an awesome night. Ready to fall asleep now!

I think it is. Sleeping it is the most important think because if you dont sleep well then you are tired the rest of your day and reminds you of Tinnitus. Then you start that endless vicious circle. I am going to fall asleep now. As I told you, my head is ringing but I will fall asleep just...

Carol, no need to be scared. Just realize that you will not be able to avoid flying all your life. In this world you have to fly. So relax and take it easy. Think that you are not unique. Millions of people have T and they continue living their lives. I just recommend you wearing earplugs for...

I did not wear earplugs. My ears were screaming afterwards but came back to normal after a few hours. I was terrified then but I think that if had to take a plane now I won´t be scared.

Hi CArol, yes I moved to Lisbon and it is helping me a lot. Much better than in Japan.

I do not think I am a 100 pc success story yet but I am on the way. In two days I will be 4 months with tinnitus and I feel good, nothing to worry about. My T is loud, I can hear it almost every time but I don´t care. There are more things in my life than a stupid noise I cannot do anything...

Neenie, I believe that coping with your tinnitus is a horrible strategy.

Does it only happen with white noise or any kind of noise? i.e. loud music?

Hi head ringers! Do you notice your T change after listening to white noise for a while or it does remain the same? If I do not mask it, my T sounds like a buzz but it changes into a high pitched noise after I listen to white noise. However, it returns to its normal buzzing noise after a few...

Just stop regretting. Tinnitus does make you no harm, you are the one who hurts yourself with those kind of thoughts so stop. I have been punishing my self also a lot. Why did not I go to the dr. earlier to treat that ear infection? Why was I so dumb? Why, why, why.......... That only made me...

karol you should stop wearing ear plugs at all times because you can develop hyperacusis. this has been discussed several times in the forum. if u were earplugs in the street you will never get used to normal sounds. i think that earplugs should be worn only in gigs and really noisy places.

Nennie please go to a clinic where they can help you handle your T. Try to look for an expert who is willing to help you.

This post really cheered me up! It´s been my second month by T and at the beginning I thought that I was going to be disabled by T forever and would never be able to work again. I am a journalist for a news agency in Tokyo :)

Hi Jesper, It says that your T started in 2004. What happen now, did it get worse? I think this is normal. Any exposure to loud sounds tends to make T louder. Even this guy who claims to be totally habituated experiences that.
