    First Day of College

    I started my first day of college today. I took a hiatus in the Fall of 2017 due to my Tinnitus and an issue that made me super anxious. It was at that time that it shattered my habituation to the ringing and I had to climb all the way back. I'm proud to say though that I did it. I got back to...

    Melatonin Might Be Beneficial, Especially in Preventing Hearing Loss?

    It is quite a bit. As I said though 4 years. I don't believe I have had any side effects besides that its harder to sleep without it. If I don't take melatonin my mind is always racing. I have dropped my dosage to 10mg for now since I am now aware that its to much. After more time I will drop to...

    Seeking Advice — What Things Should Be I Avoiding Considering My Specific Type of Tinnitus?

    Melatonin Might Be Beneficial, Especially in Preventing Hearing Loss?

But its natural and when I need to sleep without it I can still manage it. Though it varies sometimes. There is no noticeable difference in my T. It stays the same. Only...

    Give Me Your Opinion on How to Better Mask Tinnitus and About Maskers in the Ears

    Hey guys. I have a few questions and I am mainly seeking advice. I gained my tinnitus about 5 or 6 months ago due to a bad ear infection. At that time its fair to say I freaked out but managed to habituate (at least that's how I remember it) after a week or two went by. Then a month or two...

    Can't Forget My Tinnitus for One Second Unless I'm Busy

    My heart goes out to you. I am about 4 or 6 months into my tinnitus. This last week has been very hard because I just keep remembering my T. I'll do something that makes me forget about it and then a thought appears "Remember what we wanted to forget?". Honestly I hate it. But it is what it...

    Hi, I'm Jesse

    Its been a month now since my breakdown and two weeks since my hearing test with a audio-biologist. The doctor said my loss is not in normal speaking ranges. I imagine I have hearing loss in the higher ranges but I could be wrong. Ultimately she said there was nothing they could really do for...
