You guys do realize that they will probably only announce if the drug was safe, yet again. Phase 1.5 won't tell us if the drug works or not.

I think you can use Windows' own built in EQ to make it more pleasing, I'm not sure if car stereos have the same option.

Skip to 00:36. Tinnitus & Stockholm syndrome habituation in a nutshell.

I have to admit the username didn't say much to me, but once I realized who it was (from the avatar, I remember those), it was kinda shocking. I really hope he finally found peace.

Yeah, right tomorrow :p because relapse/unhabituation/new damage/any other usual story. I am still gonna be checking out the forum though from time to time, but I won't be part of the discussion anymore, not about T/H/HL at least. There's nothing and I mean nothing to add or learn anymore about...

After almost 9 months or so I think I've finally seen enough to say that I've now experienced and consumed everything tinnitus support community and medical community has to offer, like in terms of different discussions and topics, from all sides and views. So I think the circle has been closed...

Your story is similar to mine, almost down to the letter. Concert, hidden hearing loss, tinnitus, hyperacusis, HBOT and so on. I had hyperacusis that lasted for some time. After 8 months it has gotten better, but I don't think it will ever go away. Things don't hurt my ears anymore, but some...

I think the worst thing is that it destroys your imagination and immersion, most of the life is based on images rather than reality, but once you cannot immerse to anything, life becomes meaningless...at least to me. It's brainfog 24/7. The evolution didn't count on people blasting loud as...

Sorry if we come off as negative, but it's also the truth. And let me get this straight: you said it gets easier, but you also just said that you have hard time coping with tinnitus, despite you having it since 2006. So that just proves that it doesn't actually get better and it's your kids...

Well put. Before T, I always counted on my brains, knowledge and my health. If my house burned down or something horrible happened, I still would have those at least. But once that is gone and you can never truly be alone with yourself anymore, there ain't much left.

Yeah, I was the same way. The shock of losing your good life. You grief it, but there comes a point where you have shed every single tear there is and you realize that the life once had is just a distant memory now and it is not possible anymore, and objectively, life just sucks now.

Happy for you Allen Y. But I have to say the more I've read these stories the consensus most of the time is that life just isn't as enjoyable anymore. And it really depends at what point in life you are once you get this horrible condition and what coping mechanisms do you have on hand. I'm...

"My name is Barney Gumble and I have tinnitus." "Mr. Gumble, this is a girl scout meeting." "Is it? Or is it that you girls cannot admit that you have a problem."

What I've understood that hearing can somewhat recover up to one year, but then again, we know so little that nobody knows.

If you want a fast-track for learning that nobody knows shit about anything in life, get health problems. It really opens your eyes that people have opinions and their two cents, but none of them really matter. They just talk for the sake of talking. You are only responsible for one person and...

People who sell snake oils...

I don't want to be a negative nancy, but just for the heck of it, I checked out the development curve and progression of other drugs, I'm not sure if buy the hype for cure anymore. When you've read a bunch of press releases about many drug treatments, they're all the same; promising much like...

Pretty much. When you lose your peace of mind and your imagination because you really can't immerse or daydream anymore, you lose a huge part of life and a big part of you. I've been dead ever since I got this damn thing and I'm starting to think that maybe it's time for my physical body to go...

Not really, you just ask them to repeat and try to pay more attention. But yeah, it's mentally tiring.

Welcome to the hidden hearing loss club. I can't hear in noisy environments either. It sucks because everybody thinks you are just insane and making things up because 8KHz tests showed nothing. Your hyperacusis will probably go away in due time, mine did and it was due acoustic trauma as well.

Tired of planning your week? Not sure how to spend your holidays? Scared of thinking your future? GET TINNITUS and you don't have to worry anymore because you will live one day at a time!

Not being awake. My new favorite hobby for some time now.

I'd say hang in there, but at the same time, I know how hard it is so there's really no shame in wanting to call it quits.

I think get what you mean Gl0w0ut. I consider myself habituated as well since for some time now I don't fear the noise anymore, but that's it, I think that's where the habituation really ends. It doesn't mean tinnitus the condition doesn't bother or depress you anymore. It still affects my...

Yeah, I'm not sure if I buy the meme that tinnitus gets better in due time anymore. Mine is as loud as it was the day I got it, but I don't pay attention to it as much, which can cause the delusion that it got better. So I guess you kinda habituate, but it only happens, because you finally start...

I appreciate your passion Jazzer and your good attitude, you also have good tips, but it's also kinda depressing. And this is not to downplay your message, but I'm just venting. Everyday we have to tell us million things and meditate when everybody else just wakes up, get their coffee and go...

Yeah, that's the sad part. Due my education and video/audio background I know how important those high frequencies are, so this really is a tailored personal hell for me. My hearing is now like an internet video from early 00s and I hate it.

I have a feeling it might work, but how well? Maybe I am unrealistic, but I do want my old hearing back, not 30%, not 50% but 100%. I'm afraid that if it doesn't cure my hearing completely, it won't give me the pleasent feeling back that I used to get from ASMR videos. More about it here...

That feeling when you have fun time, but then you remember you still have this debilitating condition which you cannot run away from. It's not the noise itself that will kill me, it's this. Someone ripping your heart out every single day. I'm so tired of this rollercoaster of emotions every...

Reminds me of this meme:

When you're waiting for Frequency's phase 2 results

Amen to this. I'm so tired of this as well. Like I have good moments, but they only remind me how life used to be and how it could be so it's painful to get just a small taste of it every now and then. And it also enforces the feeling that yeah, the life really ain't worth it anymore if it's...

Also, I came across this. Face of a broken man. He has suffered from tinnitus for 4 years. I bet he's not habituated, he has just learned to PUT UP WITH IT or COPE WITH IT, that's the real word I would use.

I know they mean well, but everytime I hear habituation, it just makes me think any other chronic medical condition and how the world would go crazy if the word habituation would be used as a cure.

Next Friday we will hit the second half of this year which means that shit hopefully starts to happen. I'm honestly surprised I've made it this far. This is like doing a prison sentence and waiting for your parole hearing.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5735065/Worlds-oldest-woman-aged-129-says-shes-miserable-day-life.html 'World's oldest woman', 128, says she's been miserable every day of her life and her long life is a punishment from God.

That video was recorded in March and the announce about phase I/II came in late April so that's probably the reason.

I know this is an old thread and old article, but the good-bye notes really hit you home.

I think it also has to do with the fact that most suicides in US and UK get labeled as accidents, because of the stigma and insurance reasons. It wasn't that long ago I read a story about a person who had depression, bought poison online and overdosed on it...and still the coroner said "We are...

Bump

Okay, so...I've had this chirping sound in my right ear since my acoustic trauma (though I also got a constant tone if I plug my ears, but that's a different issue). Couple days ago, just for the heck of it, I did put a recording device next to my ear and Lord behold, I think I got something...

It's hard to get the people to understand when the ignorance exists and is real even on the professional level. Everyone here knows ENTs are useless and even so called tinnitus professionals told me I didn't get my hearing damaged even though I know I did and now my right ear sucks.

Yeah, though tinnitus has also taught me that science articles mostly mean nothing. It's usually just one study that then gets exploited by shitty tabloids for their click-bait article of the day and then it gets reposted multiple times on Facebook tinnitus groups by soccer moms who post Minion...

There are days pre-tinnitus & hearing loss me wouldn't believe how I'm actually clutching on a concept for a cure that has never been done before in human history, but here I am. Silly me. I think the way I've been able to justify it for myself is that this 2-4 year painful, but wakening...

Ah, the old good "Man up" generation, no shown feelings allowed.

I understand what you are saying, but ironically in order for me to have a purpose, I need my good hearing. I do admit that my original post wasn't about accepting the condition, but rather if I knew I had no chance of recovery, I wouldn't be writing this, I would be dead by now and not...

Sometimes I wish I was paralysed because at least then I would know there is no help coming (and I still would have my total silence), rather than being this half zombie, waiting for a cure. I'm at the 6 month mark and boy, what a ride. In the mornings I feel absolutely horrible and during the...

Tfw I was just about to quit alcohol all together (never really liked, got headache really easily) and then I got T. Now I got new appreciation for it.

Every night...

But doesn't Phase I/II also mean that once it's finished, we would know if the treatment works at all? Because otherwise they wouldn't be able to decide what is the best dose if there wouldn't be any results at all.

Even though I'm not keen on stoicism, this is a nice good comic and does make me feel a little bit better:

Ah, thanks for correcting me then. It still will be interesting to see will we get back the frequencies that we have already lost for good, like if you can't hear anything after 16KHz or is it too late since our brains have been so long without them (or maybe in theory we can still hear them...

I got high pitch noise from this drug twice, but thank god it stopped after I stopped taking the drug. But yeah, stay away!

We don't know yet what happens when humans get the treatment. I would assume mices have more hairs cells than humans do since they hear higher frequences and that also means there are more stuff to be healed. Of course this is just a stupid theory, but let say the healing would be identical to...
