I could see another specialist but it usually takes months to get an appointment and then 3 visits because they want to do it their way. Not to mention the cash which is running low. Damned if I do damned if I don’t. Thanks thou you definitely have me thinking

He explained it as best he could for me to understand. He brought a handful of students with him. He basically said that since that considering that the ringing was in both ears there would be no point working on it. Not to mention my insurance wouldn’t pay for the scan so I had to fork out 2...

Good luck too you. I’ve been struggling with bad T for over 2 years so I’ve already lost hope

I have the same problem with the doctors. Everyone says they cant help and don't know who can. Tried everything. Been over 2 years and driving me crazy. I feel trapped between tomorrow and yesterday. Yesterday was bad, today everyone says give it time it will get better. Tomorrow its...

where did you grow up? I have exostosis in one ear. I grew up in Ohio and work offshore as a diver. My diving doctor told me that cold water promotes bone growth when your younger. His wife works for sea world and he does all their physicals and he told me most of the workers that are in...

Sounds like we went to the same person.

So just a quick update. Went to the psychologist and explained the brain fog and how it was driving me crazy along with the tinnitus. I said it was making me suicidal and she she didn’t feel comfortable treating me because of the lack of knowledge with tinnitus. Gave me a prescription for...

Tried widex/zen maskers for months straight with zero. That’s when my ENT said it might be something else. Send me to a specialist. He found something but said there was nothing he could do. Have a nice day. I realize T isn’t fatal but when everyone says your brain will get used too it for...

I haven't read "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by Dr. David D. Burns but Im reading rewiring tinnitus by Glenn Schweitzer. Also doing "back to the silence" The books a struggle because of the lack of concentration but working on it. Normally this book would take me a day but not...

I think its getting worse because of age and my unemployment. I have more time on my hands to hear my T. But for all you people going to say get out there and get moving and you will get used to it. I used to work out in the am and now I just feel so crappy in the morning all I can think...

Im going to try to answer the questions but if I miss something Im sorry. Not sure why it got worse over the last few years. Lost my job but have enough cash to keep me going for a while. Not to mention I think my work is part of the reason why I have T. I tried taking anti depressants for a...

This just might end up being a rant because my tinnitus kept me up most of the night so it's angry and screaming all morning. I had tinnitus for over 6 years and real bad for the last 2. I have seen 3 ENTs 1 specialist 2 psychologist- one was a nutbag 1 cranial sacral therapist 1 nutritionist...

That still doesn’t help the crappy concentration. I walk around in a daze and hate feeling that stupid. If I could clear my head I’d be good. I can do mind over matter with pain until it’s the mind letting me down. So until I can clear my head and focus on dealing with every day stuff and pull...

The only thing that seems to help is drinking and a lortab when its bad. Don't think it does anything but makes you concentrate on the ringing less. Drunk or high is a crappy way to exist so I had to stop

There is a pillow out there that has a speaker in it and you can send and sounds to it thru Bluetooth Helped me for a while. Its quite enough that it wont bother a partner.

The foggy part started before the clonazepam. In the beginning I didn't know if the lack of sleep was causing the ringing and fuzzy head or ringing was causing the lack of sleep. Melatonin did nothing. If it wasn't for the clonazepam I would be crazy by now. Sleep is the only break I get...

The Zen maskers also have the tones playing that are suppose to help desensitize the nerves ,so I was told. I was wearing them for at least 8hrs a day for months. Went back to Audiologist a few times for checkups and to adjust or change the tones. After months they said maybe its something...

I think for the most part it was caused from load sounds over a long period of time. While diving some of the tools we use can be painfully loud sometimes. Hydraulic impacts, water blasters the cut concrete with high pressure water. It used to just be back ground ringing that I could ignore...

Heres the newest one and the report from the specialist after a CT scan he wanted. Have at it.

Was in the military then after started working as a commercial diver. Load tools that were worse underwater. Really no way to protect ears in most situations. So I figure its from riding around in military vehicles and over 20 years working in the oilfield

I've had tinnitus for over five years but only got real bad the last two and a half. Haven't worked in two years because my mind is so foggy all of the time. I've had to dig into my 401K last two years and will have to do it again for next year. Been to ENT that sold me on the Widex Zen...

That's my biggest problem these days is the head fog. Cant concentrate, memory blows and get lost in conversations. Nothing I try helps it. Cant even enjoy reading a book. Feels like brain damage

Still haven't gotten an answer on how to clear the fog. Most of the time people with success stories talk about how they overcame. Im all about mind over matter until its the mind messing with you. Been in the military and worked underwater construction in the oilfield for 20 years so I...

Ive pretty much come to terms with the T. It isn't going away. My bigger issue is how foggy it makes my head. Its like having a hangover every morning. Sometimes its so bad I don't even want to drive. Used to take my friends kids boating with me during the summer. Now Im scared with my...

So can anyone give me something positive to work with when your 48 years old, lost job in the oilfield since the downturn. Been trying to deal with bad tinnitus for over 2 years with no success. Been to specialist that told me there's nothing they can do, just learn to deal with it, now pay...

My ringing is so loud that my head is fuzzy all the time and my concentration is horrible. My memory is taking a hit too. I barely go out because I feel stupid in the conversations and can't keep up. Anyone find something that works. I've tried everything. thanks

What does ETD stand for? You many abbreviations for me to remember. Thanks

so you have found nothing to help with the brain fog after all the years?

I'm 48 and have had tinnitus for over five years. It's just got worse in the last two years. It makes my mind so fuzzy and messes with my concentration that I can't bring myself to get a job. I feel like I'm walking around in a daze all the time and hate it. Has anyone come up with...
