Ear plugs, I love motocross, done it as long as I’ve had tinnitus, 36 years, since kiddie

Will do, this is my last look for a while

Can assure you I have

Yes that’s perfectly good advice, my audiologists said the same & also my CBT therapist, I kind of like posting here so I can help others sometimes but maybe yes I should be a bit selfish and about me until I’m done... & yes I will do so...

Suppose it’s a gunshot? That’s short.

What was your last acoustic insult?

Love it....

Well it’s back anyway, lol, that was strange.

I'd suggest you look at the severe anxiety as a priority & think clearly. You are fuelling anxiety with so much thinking going on that’s making you think more, making you more anxious, think more, anxious & round & round you go The rest you can deal with in more clarity, do some mindfulness &...

Take your money elsewhere

I don’t disagree with that, I am the sort that throws caution at times & live my way, which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, I accept that. Personally I’d do the jump.

Well this is odd, I've come downstairs to a room on my own... I was just lying in bed unable to sleep & couldn’t really hear my tinnitus. Then thought where the hell is it, it weirded me out... I had to get up, I can hear it but it’s changed. How the hell can that freak me out, I've been...

I’d say the drug wouldn’t make it worse but taking it & not caring much, then going somewhere loud is likely

Why would you change? Let tinnitus be tinnitus, don't stress or be anxious...

Got to say if it gets really bad, get smashed beyond belief, have a good night.... yeah agree, I'm with them...

Funny I met noddy holder in a pub in Portugal one night.

Let me know if it helps. I have a few more. Just don’t drown tinnitus out, use it low so you relax, the idea is you hear a bit of both, take the stress out of tinnitus, but get used to it being there.

Have you tried this?

This is spot on

If it helps, I ride motocross quite a bit, have done for over 36 years... love it, am I paranoid every time I go out... hell yes, does it ring ... yep ... I wear earplugs & make sure they are in correctly. It’s not put me off as I enjoy it so much but then tinnitus is god awful anyway so I’m...

Excellent film.

Do you practice CBT & mindfulness? TRT or craniosacral therapy.

Is that where they crack your neck? I had that, it was disgusting ... can’t see it does you much good, my neck has cracked since.

I’m 3 weeks in to TRT after 37 years of tinnitus... I love it... still having spikes etc & they do take getting used to, what’s weird is when you scratch your head it sounds like crumpling up a crisp bag... Sometimes my own voice sounds weird too... I wouldn’t say tinnitus has got better but...

Get an app called Whist. You can match it to your tinnitus pitch & volume, it actually gives you a bit of peace as you hear it on your phone, not in your head.

Why Los Angeles? They are loaded anyway I thought? Not that I know America other than Disney.

That bit isn’t bad information, our emotional connection, stress, anxiety, thoughts etc are relevant.

Phew! I was going to see him for 5 grand! I’m so happy right now I didn’t... I see the head of audiologists in Medway hospital, what a great knowledgeable person she is, I highly recommend her.

Just to ask what would you like to see in an app for tinnitus? Functions etc.

I quite enjoy your posts mr .... keep them coming, you're a good inspiration to someone down in the dumps

Am I calling her a liar? If I was going to have that debate with @coffee_girl I'd do it in a conversation between me and her... I’d not speak openly about people like that, but I can have a different opinion to her on a forum that’s meant to help people yes!

42... I’d near doubled that when I first joined this forum... I’d have a beer to celebrate but I’m having a year teetotal... I’ll have an extra Yorkshire pudding!

What changed?

Sorry to ask did the young fella Danny pass away? Just read a saddening post

What’s coffee got to do with tinnitus? It’s medically proven that there's no link.

Run, mask it... enjoy it Nothing is stopping me jumping on the motocross bike, screams like mad afterwards Might be your last run, make it the best run yet

@Jazzer pefecto The bit people get lost in is the anxiety & stressful emotional response... Tinnitus is tinnitus... My cat hates me !

Excellent.

Have you tried CBT? Mindfulness and TRT?

Sometimes it’s screaming a bit too much to sleep straight away, sometimes I like listening to it... if it’s really high pitched it’s worse but since going to CBT I deal with the emotional side way better, also started TRT last week so have another noise in my ears now which is even better...

Do you get some days where it’s a pleasant sound or sounds? I have all sorts going on at times, I sometimes drift off to it... the highest pitch is awful must say though

Yeah it’s pants when that happens as your reaction is just pure shock & anxiety.. Just remember to try not to involve emotions or reactions... tough at 2am but you can

Just to share this with anyone coming here for support and looking for something positive... My CBT therapy has made a huge difference in how I react to tinnitus & today I started TRT, it’s weird, I can’t lie, having another sound in your head as well as the squealing high pitched tinnitus...

Look at CBT therapy if you can see a therapist you’ll soon learn to split thoughts, feelings, emotions & reactions from tinnitus & let tinnitus be tinnitus... anxiety is anxiety, it’s just a reaction to a stress, very normal in some respects ......yeah you could have it a while, you could smash...

That would depend on what you're giving up surely?

@coffee_girl was the hug for man flu or tinnitus worse in one ear? I get no sympathy for man flu here lol

Yeah you’ll smash it, enjoy being a mum!!! I have 4 kids, all noisy & the dishwasher is constantly in use, does my ears in every time, I’ve just given up being emotional or scared of it.... Don’t stress on the future, it’s not here yet enjoy now, it will get better, you’ll adjust or your brain...

It’s great, a couple of weeks ago I let my ears get the better of me, went to an hour's session, been good since & the tinnitus is not better, I just let it be... amazing how the brain works & a bit of guided thinking changes chaos to clarity... I’ve been a stress head for years, even without...

Anyone else been there? Thinking of popping along. Just wondering if it’s ok etc? https://www.tinnitusrooms.com/

Yeah thought logs for sure, excellent to do, seems strange at first but now it’s instant the moment I’m feeling stressed or anxious... Love CBT, they should teach it at schools & not so much having to get an A grade to be successful...

Mind Over Mood is good. I've never done one of those gratitude charts, and I've been going for CBT for a year?

Perfect

My tuppence worth is don’t go through life giving up this and that... Go to Cbt therapy and learn to let it be & separate emotions/reactions to tinnitus, after all tinnitus is tinnitus Cbt, mindfulness & feeling good will bring anxiety down along with bad thoughts or feelings.. Then over time...

It’s bloody annoying being louder in 1 ear, mines louder in my right ear tonight makes you feel lop sided, better off being the same in both kind of wierd one spikes for a few days for no apparent reason.. mind you man flu at mo might be why

Morning all, Just like to say I went to my CBT counselor last couple of weeks & dealt with separating emotions, anxiety etc from tinnitus... My ears have gotten worse at times god knows how but yeah I’m having spikes on spikes, what’s weird is I’m letting it be, it’s worse today as I write...

Agree with that, I think I can feel it as well as hear it.... so high pitched that’s why it’s so awful it’s painful & not many sounds cover it.

Certainly does, it’s torture.... seems wierd to consider that it’s not something I could cope with but your 5 years at a high level.... I’m 37 years but managed most of that... this is dogshit

Went to a friends wedding bit loud, I even tried my best to stay out the way & leave early... went in the garden for an hour tried really hard not to damage ears... I’ve had spikes before this is a whole new level it’s scary, but I’ve habituated so many times before too... I think the anxiety...

Yeah that’s the scary bit mines extreme & after 37 years it’s cracking me up, first time I’m on meds to sleep last night although tonight I’m on herbal drink with pink noise on the tv somehow I’m half chilled, can’t sleep but having a read. Never thought tin would get this loud, as a teenager I...
