    21 Months Down... Almost There!

    Just re read this and thought i would add some bits; 1. CBT teaches you to address ur thoughts and rephrase them in a more helpful way. This helped a lot! I rarely now have negative thoughts at all. 2. You have to not think negatively about tinnitus ... tell urself its just a natural noise...

    Hi I've done three ... all were in normal limits. I had glue ear in right side years ago which was corrected with a grommet and haven't had so much as an ear ache since. Pressure test was normal so no fluid behind ear drum now.
