    1 Month and Feeling Better

    I just got the maskers yesterday, I wear them for about 6 -8hrs. It doesn't decrease it so much as it makes my brain focus on the white noise instead. It plays 2 different types of White Noise, and 1 Pink Noise. I have Moderate/Severe High Frequency hearing loss. I can get by without the Hearind...

    1 Month and Feeling Better

    Hello everyone, I got T about a month ago. At first I was a mess, my T was loud and very intrusive. High pitched Kettle whistle in my right ear. I was extremely depressed, my anxiety through the roof. I had very dark thoughts, I lost my job due to lack of sleep. I though my life was over. Well...

    Can't Take It Anymore

    Has any of you used "Sleep Phones"?? Does anyone know if using them at 40% volume can damage your hearing if listening to nature sounds. Like rain or crickets?? It's the only thing that helps fall asleep. It doesn't seem to loud to me at 40%, just worried.

    Hey Joanne, the ENT was in his late 60's and has been in practice for 42yrs. He was as cold as ice.

    I read this though Nikopol. This last point is very important: AM-101 is designed as an early intervention in cases of early onset noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus. It will not be an effective tinnitus therapy for chronic, long standing tinnitus. All the participants of this study had...

    Can't Take It Anymore

    Thank you all for your encouraging replies. Wanted to say that I'm still having a lot of trouble. I lost my job because of lack of sleep. Tried another doctor and no sleeping pills. So that's two Primary Physicians and two ENT's. They all just don't care. Second ENT said in his whole 42 yrs of...

    Can't Take It Anymore

    I'm at my breaking point. My T is loud and unmaskable. A kettle sound 24/7. I'm only 44yrs old and wonder how I'm gonna get through today let alone the rest of my life. This is more than any human should have to bear. Constant Insomnia, anxiety, despair, depression..... I think terminal cancer...

    Freaking Out!

    Does anyone know if you can habituate if you have high frequency hearing loss? Also is the rule of thumb the louder the T, or if there is more than one tone, the harder of a time you'll have? I know everyone's different.

    Freaking Out!

    Thanks William. I wish my Doctor would prescribe me Ambien/Xanax. Where I live there is a big problem with people who abuse prescription meds. I think I need to find a new Doctor. I hope my life gets better like yours did. I pray to God it does, right now it's hard to live each day, not knowing...

    Freaking Out!

    Thanks for all your advice Glynis. I live in Cleveland Ohio where 1/4 of the population abuse scheduled drugs. I'd have a better chance winning lottery than any Dr. prescribing me Lorazepam/Clonazepam. As far as the other ones Amitriptyline etc. I'm already taking Neurontin for burning...

    Freaking Out!

    Thanks for the replies. I tried Trazadone Glynis and it does nothing to help fall asleep. Both ENT and Primary say if I can't deal with the T then it's a Psychological issue and a psychiatrist would be in order. Psychiatrist prescribed me Paxil for anxiety, I tore the script up in the parking...

    Freaking Out!

    Just got T. 9 days ago. It's due to high frequency hearing loss. I'm riddled with anxiety, stress over this. It's 2 tones in right ear, the regular waaaaaaa... one, and tea kettle. Tea kettle one is driving me mad. I'm scared, I've been a carpenter for 22 yrs and never wore ear protection. I've...
