Hi Billie, Long time to talk. I've been on hiatus. How are you?

Welcome Alicia!! and wishing you rapid recovery and peace! You're gonna be OK!! Live for today and don'y trip on tomorrow. Get your sleep on!! Blessings to you!

I am encouraged by all the dialogue on this post! And thankful to @Erin1997 for posting this! As a fairly long term veteran of severe chronic tinnitus, one who has gone thru the valley of death, and suffered, I can only give MY testimony. And that is that I have (many will ate me to say this)...

Autumn, welcome here (although I certainly wish you were not!! ;))!! This is a good place for support, information, and encouragement. Listen to @Taylorslay , good stuff!! How long have you had T?? Time is your friend. I am 5 years into my journey with severe tinnitus and I am habituated, and...

@zkdr , It sucks man, I get it for sure!! The first 6-8 months are gnarly!! I call it the Danger Zone. Your brain is working to adapt to this new thing going on, and it's confusing and scary and maddening!! BUT as others have shared, with effort and desire you WILL overcome man! I did, and...

What?

Thanx @Bobbie7 !! right back at ya! @dpdx & @Bill Bauer , my tinnitus has not faded or gone away but I have habituated to it. Never thought it was possible but it happened. I still hate it but I don't let it own me.

Hey Guys, So when Tinnitus hit me out of the blue on Oct 12 2012, it rocked my world!! Seriously effed me up. No sleep, anxiety, depression, went out of my mind!!! The first year was pure hell. My severe idiopathic Tinnitus is off the chart. Still screaming even at this moment! Anyhow, what...

Hey guys, simple message here. There is HOPE!! I have overcome tinnitus and you will too. It's not easy but it's real and possible! Hang in there and fight. I'm on the other side and you will be soon!!

Hey Tjeerd. I sent you a direct message.

Yup, it's a real thing! Never thought it was possible in the beginning, But with effort and desire to overcome, it happened! There's hope!! :):rockingbanana:

Hi Connie!! Like @Honey_Bee I'm in SD too. It's good to read that you seem like you're doing well. Believe me I know how hard it is. I'm almost 5 years into it and still have T, but I have habituated to it. And you will too! Stoked to see that you're here on tinnitus talk. There's lots of good...

Hey man, I am being straight up honest with you, not blowing smoke!! I was in the depth of pure hell and got thru. It's possible! It takes desire, effort, and support, but it's totally achievable!!!

@Paulmanlike Dude, seriously STFU!!! and I mean that in the most loving and understanding way bro! I, as most who have replied to you and are here on TT have gone thru similar gnarly sh*# as you are! It totally and completely sucks!! I get it, we get it!!! I ended up in the ER twice because I...

Hey @AlexM ! Bummed to hear you are struggling! It sucks for sure! Great advice has already been shared with you on this thread from everyone. Listen to @billie48 , he's the guru! Anyhow, my two cents is to live in the moment. Own the moment. Don't let T own the moment. Look into Mindfullness...

Dude @linearb ! Nailed it!! @Jake007 listen to him!! Good stuff!!!

Dude, Ambien is gnarly!! I tripped out on that stuff! "Woke" up making some eggs at 3a.m. Personally I do not like the stuff!! Had a couple of incidents. Bailed it after a weird week. Be careful.

@Natalie18 So glad you found TT!! Bummed to hear you are dealing with T! BUT Yur not alone and there is hope! Are you getting good sleep?? Thats usually the biggest hurdle and obstacle when dealing with T. I also suggest masking sounds to help deal. But also look into mindfulness techniques...

@Louanth So sucks that you are having to deal with this. But I am glad you are here! This is a good place! Great support, understanding and resources. I have gnarly T! And I hate it. But I have decided to own it instead of it owning me! It's hard and I don't always win the battle, but I am...

@MCVB So sorry you are suffering!! Tinnitus sucks!! I can totally relate! When I first started experiencing T, I was dead set against the whole "learn to live with it" mantra. It just pissed me off and depressed me. So I tried EVERYTHING!!! Literally! No results. So I had to realize that I had...

Hi @Danika !! So sorry to hear you are suffering, but congrats on pregnancy! My T is not reactive to noises o other input. See my post here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/severe-chronic-subjective-idiopathic-tinnitus.20325/ I see you just recently started experiencing T. The first few...

Hugs and Prayers @glynis !!!:huganimation:

Big title right?? I have been on TT for awhile, but not very active as of late. But wanted to share briefly here my experience, especially for newer members. Many, in fact most of you can attribute your T to some form of physiological damage to your inner ears. Concerts, explosions, infections...

Dude, gnarly. Best of luck and prayers heading your way!! Man I hope it works out 100% and maybe your T will fade! That would be awesome!! You got a bunch of good people here rooting for you!!(y)

Hello all T peeps!! I've been following this thread for years, and am so encouraged by all the POSITIVE stuff shared!! I appreciate you all and stoked there's a place on TT to go and chill with some positive mellow people!! Keep it up guys!! T sucks but encouragement and fellowship sure make it...

@Liana The first 4-6 months are the worst (sorry)! Your limbic system is trying desperately to adjust to this new threat. BUT it will adjust and you WILL get thru this!! Believe me, I was right where you are at one point. I ended up in the ER because I was afraid that I might hurt or even worse...

@Liana - I am so sorry to hear you are struggling!! It sucks and there's no way around it. BUT you can and will overcome this!!! :) I know and can relate it's so hard to even comprehend at this point, but you will get thru this! I can testify!! My T was and is so gnarly, but I am living a full...

Hey @snow47 !! I hope you are doing OK!! :) Isolation and withdrawl are painful and will make T worse! But I understand because I have been there, and sometimes still am. People don't understand what T does to us. It sucks. BUT we can and will overcome. Don't give up!! Push through! I am 4 1/2...

Dude, great attitude!!! Keep it up bro!!

Sup @derpytia ?? So sorry to hear about your setback!! Sucks for sure!! :bawling: Good job coming back to TT for some support and encouragement!! (y) You are going to prevail, just as you have in the past!! Make sure you are getting your sleep on!! Focus on getting exercise and stay busy...

Yo Scott, digging your positive tone dude!! Rock on!! Don't lose that. My wife is a cellist, and when she plays, my tinnitus disappears!! Music is such great therapy for T!! I wish I could play. But I'll just enjoy listening!! :) Glad to hear you are hanging in there and getting better dude...

Dude, all positive stuff man!! Sleep!! Yeay!! Family time good, Gym good!! Relaxing....GOOD!! :) Whatever you do, don't give up on music (or anything). I'm 4 years in, and have been tempted to give up on things that give me joy, but have persevered and am stoked!! Stay solid bro!!:rockingbanana...

Yeay!! ;)

Hey TT Peeps, Wishing all of you a very Happy New Year!! Trust me, 2017 WILL BE better than 2016!! Fight on, Love Strong, and find Joy!!! You got this!!! Jeff :rockingbanana::beeranimation:

@AustralSpring you're a trip. But I kinda get it. Glad its working. I'll give it a shot. Peace sister!

Hey @Jmf , sorry to hear about your sitch. Early onset tinnitus sucks!! Not sure if the meds caused it, but always suspicious. Doesn't matter. What matters is now and how you deal with it. Depending on how severe your T is (volume/pitch) your limbic system is currently freaking out, trying to...

PIZZA!!!!!! (oh, and beer!:beeranimation:)

Abby, My heart breaks for you! And if it's any consolation, I totally get it!! 3 months into my journey with T, I ended up in the ER, fearful I may hurt myself. But, as with you, I have kids and I needed (still do) to press on for them. All you are feeling and experiencing right now is valid...

Martin, I (we) are glad you are here. Early stages of tinnitus (T) completely suck!! Folks here on TT have already shared with you some great advice!! Heed it.Habituation takes time, and dare I say effort. Sleep management and emotional/psychological regulation are key. I went thru the eact...

Holy Sh*T !! Man you are suffering !! So frickin lame!! I am so sorry. Been there friend. I have walked through the valley of death!! Worst time of my life!! I get it!! But guess what....I am still here. And you are going to make it through too!! It's not easy, in fact it sucks ass, but it's...

Prayers for you friend!!! Love and support you!!! :huganimation:

Wow, the amount of atheism and agnosticism on this thread is disheartening. Tinnitus can absolutely cause us to doubt our faith, I get it. But I firmly believe in my Saviour and in my God. I have no idea why I have been afflicted with this horrible malady, but His ways and thoughts are much...

Dude, so bummed about the loss of your Dad!! I lost my Dad last year. Sucks. And T fricking sucks!! :mad: I am on year four of gnarly 24/7 T. I have struggled, but my encouragement to you is I have gotten to the other side, and you will to dude!! Gotta et your sleep man, that makes all the...

@fedup So sorry that you are suffering so badly!! It sucks! No other way to put it! I, and many others here on TT totally get it!! The way nobody else can. We've been to the dark place and faced what your dealing with. The encouragement is.......we're still here!! Stay engaged and connected...

@Markku Howdy buddy!! Great to hear from you!! I hope all is well with you! Yes, I am back!! And I have missed this wonderful community! Thank you again for all that you do!! It appears things are going very well with TT! Let me know what I can do to help please! Peace to you! Jeff :)

@Steve Hey ole buddy! Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it!! Sorry I have been away for a bit! Hope you are well and TT is thriving. Such a great community! Thanks for all you do!!

@gary Hey Gary, thanks for the reply. Yup, his is pretty much what we do right? :) I wish you all the best!!

@Honey_Bee Thanks for the message! Yeah, just dealing with my T. All good for the most part. You?? I do love La Jolla, but Encinitas is more chill. :)

Thanks so much Glynis & Billie!! Your words lift me and I hope to lift others in turn!! All he best and let's do this together!! Have a marvelous weekend!! Peace. :)(y):thankyousign:

Hey TT peeps, been awhile since I have been on. Sorry for the absence. Just took a break to get on with life. But recently realized...... I need you guys!! You were all there for me during the gnarly first months and years and I am so appreciative and thankful. I have habituated mostly, and...

Thanks MikeP505!! Appreciate the encouragement! :rockingbanana:

Chris, I am so sorry and I know exactly what you are feeling and experiencing, and sucks X a million!! I just encourage you to fight though. Fight for your marriage, fight for your kids! You can do this!! Don't give up! Praying for you!!

Hey T-Talk peeps.. Ben awhile since I have been here. Miss you guys. I just thought I was over my T, but I am not. :( Don't get me wrong, life is WAY better than it was a couple years ago by far! But last week or so, just been really struggling. Pitch and volume increased dramatically. No reason...

Hey Christine!! Aloha girl! I haven't been on in quite awhile myself, thought I'd jump on TT and say hi as well! Glad to hear you are well and "living on"!! That's great!! I am as well.:)(y) My T is still gnarly, but I have pretty much habituated. Yeay!! Take care and keep up the great...

Long time listener here (3 1/2 years), very high pitch and volume :mad:, BUT I have accepted it.:) Acceptance is so important!! Habituation, in my opinion, doesn't happen without it. Especially with higher volume. It's not easy, not at all!!! But if you can reach acceptance, your life will...

Dude, I just read all these replies, and I agree with them. I am 3 1/2 years into my journey with T. I have had some seriously dark ass times..... Dark!! It sucks how T can steal our joy. I am so sorry that you are hurting man! But don't give up or give in. Don't let T win! You can and will...

Cool. Love to hear about how it goes. Thanks for the post. :)
