Glynis, I joined this group about a year ago. It was a very dark and painful time of my life. My goal in joining was to get a cure, but we know how that ends. One thing that gave me hope in those dark days was reading your cheery reply's to other posters, always signed 'love, Glynis'. That...

Seeing this made my evening! I am happy for you. Dan

I would try to find a different product. Perhaps one that does not have acetaminophen. Have you tried melatonin? Threefirefour is right that it seems like most everything has the possibility of aggravating/inducing T. Best wishes, Dan

You should do what you can to get your stress under control. Lord knows that is easier said than done, but that stress makes a terrible feedback loop for the T (at least it does for me). I find that exercise helps too. It gets my mind off the buzz in my head. You are not alone, we are...

I agree with you Bill. I have learned a lot here, like I will not have my ears EVER syringed, nor suctioned again. The earbuds are in the trash. I also wished I had known about the ototoxic OTC drugs I have used so cavalierly in the past. I have warned my children to not do like I have...

Good luck to you Curly!

I could not agree more. I love these forums, and they have truly helped me. But, some of the stories curl my hair, and it puts "could my T turn to THAT??" in my mind which is not healthy. I try to focus on the positive, love the success stories, and hopefully help someone if I can. Take...

Same here Chris. Some days I feel almost normal when I am caught up doing something. Silence is my enemy, and I dread waking up in the middle of the night. I did buy a white noise machine for sleeping, and when I do wake up in the night I force myself to focus on the machine instead of the...

Orlando Florida here too. Spend a lot of time in Richmond VA also, hence the Dan RVA.

How are you doing now? Well I hope. We all take a trip to the bottom of the t valley on occasion, and it seems like we can never get out. Hopefully you are back in the sunshine. Stay positive, Dan

It snowed in Richmond Virginia while I was there. I loved it! Had my wife take a picture of me shoveling snow, something I had not done since leaving Ohio for Orlando.

Hello all, Around November last year I fell and severely scrapped my knuckles. I had a large open wound that I dutifully put antibiotic ointment on for the best part of two weeks. The area was about the size of an American nickel coin. At the end of November, I realized that my tinnitus was...

I recommend reading Curly's thoughts on t: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/who-honestly-thinks-theyre-going-to-go-crazy-from-the-ringing.24697/#post-300909 This is not the end of your life. I think stress is overwhelming you now. Do not be afraid to reach out for medical help to get...

Thank you Curly for what you wrote. The fear of "going crazy" likes to lurk out there, but we can push it aside. I am glad you spoke up! Dan

Sorry you are having a rough time . When I feel really, really bad, I get outside and walk or run, anything to get the heart rate up and burn off some of my anxiety. Best wishes to you. Dan

Your post could have been written by me, so yes, I certainly empathize a lot. I just take each day one at a time. It sounds trite, but that is all we can do. Try to get rest, if you need medicine to do so, get some. Try to get in some aerobic exercise too. It really helps me...

I wore hearing aids for a couple years, they helped fill in the missing higher pitched frequencies that I had lost. I went back for another hearing test this year and was told my hearing had gotten considerably worse. I have an appointment with a local hospital that has a hearing center and I...

Had not heard of betahistine dihydrocloride, but it sounds interesting. Was that over the counter, or was it a prescription? I hope it helps you! please let us know how it goes. Dan

From browsing this forum and others, it seems to me like almost all medicines can cause T in an individual. We are all different and react in different ways, so who knows about any medicine or supplement. Good luck to you!

I find that exercising (even though I don't want to) helps. I used to run with earbuds in, but no more. Now it is just the "music" between my ears. As for sleep, like you, I am missing REM sleep because I wake up at 2 AM or so and once I am awake it begins. I hate to do it, but I take...

Wow, that sucks Greg. I am new to all of this, but I had no idea there was a scale to measure T. How is that done? Sorry for your troubles, I hope something can help you going forward. Dan

Hi Tsufferer, I am sorry to hear of your distress. Every time I think I have it bad, I find people here that have overcome more than me. Hopefully their stories can help you in your struggle. A couple things, you may want to cut and paste this into a new "Introduce Yourself" thread. I...

Wonderful news! You give me hope, thank you for that.

Keep up the good fight! Stay positive!

Agree 100% I am now motivated to email my kids and warn them to never, ever, EVER let someone syringe their ears.

Ouch. I feel so bad for you. I am sure that syringing was the start of the issues with my ears. Your post was in July, so I hope all turned out well for you.

hi Joel. I have had my ears vacuumed twice now. It is only slightly less unpleasant than the syringe. A lot less messier I suppose. I have tried drops in the past, the kind that were supposed to drain out the wax, but that never worked for me. It is funny how one person can have so much...

I have had tinnitus for years now, and I'm not really sure when it began or when I first noticed it. My ears have always had a lot of wax buildup and I suspect that the primary cause for my T was a misguided attempt at the health clinic I went to for ear wax removal back in the 80's. The...
