    @Tinker Bell - What does a CBT therapist do differently than other (non-TRT) therapists?

    Finding a Therapist

    Thanks for the info, Michael. I guess I should have specified what kind of therapist I'm looking for. I'm not looking to do TRT yet, I'm just looking for someone who can get me emotionally stable. As Tinker Bell mentioned, I think it will help me become more positive about my situation...

    Finding a Therapist

    Even though I got tinnitus only last Wednesday, I'm pretty sure I'm in it for the long haul. I've been a little careless when listening to a music - whether it's not using ear protection at concerts or using in-ear headphones. Coupled with the fact that I have pretty severe chronic dry eye, I...

    Has This Happened to Anyone Else? Pitch or Loudness Changing Rapidly and Unexpectedly?

    I just posted in the intro subforum, but to summarize: I've attended three rock concerts this year and had ringing after all three, but only after the third one did I have ringing for more than a few days. It seemed to go away, but this past Wednesday I think I made it come back in a worse...

    From Dry Eye to Tinnitus

    Hi all, I've recently acquired tinnitus in my left ear. But before I talk about that, let me tell you about the other condition that affects my quality of life. I've had chronic dry eye for over 5 years now, as a result of both contact lens and computer overuse. My dry eye started very...
