Lamotrigine definitely did not help my tinnitus and I'm pretty sure it made it worst. I have been on it for several years for bipolar which started post vietnam. I'm going to discontinue Lamotrigine completely to see if it helps reduce tinnitus. I believe it helped the bipolar symptoms...

I've dealt with T since 1971 and although that's not a lifetime it's a significant amount of time. I'm just saying don't freak out and get in a tissy. You got this and ain't no damn T going to whup ya.

The thing is don't let it beat you down. If you tough it out then eventually your brain wants to forget it. There are times when I don't even notice I have T. Then there are times when I drink bourbon and the next morning a freight train invaded my house.... Just saying watch what causes the...

Sounds like you have the medical part covered. I have sound induced T so I'm thinking mine will be with me until the cows come home and I don't have no frigging cows. Hopefully yours will go as quickly as it came. For now research the threads in this forum and maybe try some of the treatments...

Maybe you're focusing too much on your T and not enough on golf? You can do this so keep trying and don't let the noise overcome your fun. It's not worth it! Dig deep and do it....

Yea golfing is a huge relief for me.

Explosions, rife fire, etc. and nope we did not wear noise protection. You had to be able to hear if the enemy was approaching and if you plugged ya ears up, you would be in deep dodo.

Nope I don't actually notice it however my tinnitus came from loud noise exposure during the vietnam war. I'm a rookie here and now learning all the different forms of tinnitus and what sets off the spikes. Maybe you need to look at picking up a different driver. My Cobra F6 has more of a...

I've been playing golf for 37 years with tinnitus and have never heard of wearing ear plugs. Actually golf helps me too forget about my tinnitus and enjoy the day. Golfing and going to my gym for two hour workouts are my savior when it comes to blanking out the ring.

I just want to welcome you to a top notch forum where there are so many sources of great information. Hang in there bud and keep the faith!

First of all welcome aboard and it looks like you have covered the medical bases pretty well. I wouldn't go the MRI route for now unless those headaches stick around and get worse. . You can always reschedule it later. Glad you joined up as there is a ton of great info on this forum... Don't...

I play golf at two times per week, go to my gym 4 days per week and walk my dog two to three times daily. Just being active really helps me to deal with T. IMO the worst thing a person can do is pity themselves and sit around doing nothing. Get out there and stay active because it helps!

Welcome aboard and hopefully the doc can figure out what's going on with the extreme noise you are now facing.

My wife saw me making funny faces and said, "what da hell is wrong with you"! I told her I was working on my facial grimaces. She said you're not liquored up are ya?

It's amazing how many people around you have it and you find out through conversation etc. I'm a member of a golf forum mygolfspy.com and posted a thread about tinnitus. Several members came forth admitting they are also dealing with the nuisance. Hang tough and beat it... Well you are a...

Well I've had this crap for 42 years so it goes to show you can go into hibernation if you so choose. I''m not sure when I decided to hibernate however most of the time, I just focus hard on something I like and let the damn ringing go. It hasn't whupped me yet and I'll be dayuuummmm if I let...

Thanks for the heads up and yea I do take Melatonin on occasion and it does make me drowsy. It helps me get to sleep however it doesn't take me down for the count. I'm hoping for something to quiet my mind enough for the duration. When I first came home from Nam, they put me on some anti...

I have an appointment for my yearly physical coming up soon. I asked my doc to add magnesium to my pre physical lab tests. I want to see if I'm deficient and if so, I'll ask advice on how much and what type would be best to elevate it proper levels. I'm also requested something to help with...

I've had it since 1970 and still kicking high. It's annoying as hell however I choose not to let it consume me. With that said, I would like some relief as mine spikes and you're right about it driving a person to wits end. We have to find things that distract us from our discomfort. For me...

Thank you ! Yea it's amazing how many people actually are dealing with tinnitus. The more I research it and see I'm not alone, it gives me hope that one day a cure will be found. It's not a life threatening issue however it sure will agitate the hell out of ya. Especially when you're trying...

Thanks for the info and I'll definitely check out the examine.com

Apple Cider Vinegar works for Tinnitus? You drink it or rub it around your ears? o_O

What brand do you all recommend? I'm sure some or better than others so is there a certain one that works better?

I went to one civilian ENT doc who confirmed I had hearing loss. Years later I went to the VA and have gone through three different hearing tests which also confirmed my hearing problem however they have not done anything to help me. They said it's not severe enough for hearing aids so I...

Actually I was in Nam in 1970 and the gun noise & explosions cause immediate ringing in my ears. We used ear plugs in basic training however did not in the war. You had to use all your senses to detect and or avoid the enemy and plugging up your ears was not an option. The ringing seemed to...

Thanks Jake and I'll give the magnesium supplements a try.

This forum looks like a good source for sharing info about tinnitus so joined up. I think my noise problems started during my stint in the Army however I have had on going problems for many years. I'm now 67 years old and it looks like I'll be dealing with the ringing until I kick the bucket...
