Great, but not a success story.

Dude, you are so right, I realised too late that all is related to negative emotions after onset. I am sutrggling to retrain my brain to assign the noise with positive feelings. Most people that had if fading soon, most probably managed to ignore it and not become obsessed.

Does anyone know any success story for tinnitus caused by stress and panick attacks? In this case, what is damaged, brain or inner ear? I could not have any explanation from doctors as all my tests were fine.

Tried it for a week daily, results did not last longer, forget to do it recently as I don't think it is a cure.

I think they are similar, both uses one finger to press on the ears to cover them. Improtant is to cover ears and make humm noise, at least 7-8 times while breathin out. Better results if humm noise is more high pitched. But as I said, effect is for very short time.

Did anything on your tinnitus level? Any other side effects like liver issues?

How long are you taking clonazepam, you take daily? I had very low T while I took 1 mg daily for 2 weeks. Even thought T is fading but retured after I stopped. If I take 0.5 does now have same effect, but I am very sleepy all day.

Did this fading happen after you manage to control your emotions towards the tinnitus sound? I think reaction plays a key role. I changed the way I think of it, not fearing it, convinced that it will fade, trying to deeply believe that. No results so far, but hope it will come gradually.

After what amount of time you noticed fading?

I got mine after huge stress period and definetly is related to stress and cortisol, maybe adrenaline, had also panick attacks. After reading that is for life, I got really scared of it and monitored it so I trained my brain to listen for it. Such a huge mistake, if I knew it will go away...

That gives hope. I am 4 months in and did not see any progress and was loosing hope. I manage to totally avoid negative reaction to it so I dont startle or have negative feelings when I hear it, but nothing changed. Hope, in time, I will get to same place. I think if I go to wedding or loud...

Do you sleep in total silence every night? Do you have normal life, going to pubs, drinking?

Any updates on your progress?

I will never know if concussion or the stress that followed afterwards (caused by other symptoms, like numbness in body, continuous bad migraines, faininting sensations) triggered the tinnitus. All these came after long time of bad habits regarding sleep schedule and stressful experiences. So...

I, for myself, tried sound enrichment and white noises, that partially covers tinnitus along with stopping emotional reactions to tinnitus. However, I never experience any fading in perception when I am in silence, has always same baseline level with ocassional spikes.

Good app, thanks.

I have some room small fountain, but I can't sleep just with that. Is this the type of sound enrichment he is refering to, is this better than white noise ?

The problem is we made our brains intersted in tinnitus. Even this forum and talking about it enforces this interest. Most people with this problem become obssesed with it, but ignoring is hard. Even though I manage to sleep, I constantly have issues with it, lots of wake ups, not feeling...

Any success story for stress induced tinnitus?

I do this now, I don't have emotional reaction, but I beat myself up because I made it louder doing huge mistakes when it started just by having an emotional reaction to sound I did not knew about. Thing is I did not even knew I had any noise in head before heard faint buzz in left ear. I...

I had anxiety all my life because of other issues from my past and a lot of it when tinnitus started. I managed to control this part in last 2 months, like when I hear T, I don't react with panick mode like at first, I manage to stay calm. But this for these 2 last months only, so anxiety played...

I related to most of your story, just that mine is stress induced. I overstressed for a lot of things my whole life and I blame myself for many reactions I had, taking my nervous system to the limit, including poor sleep and too much work. At first I did same mistakes as all, monitored it and...

Basic principles of TRT implies sound therapy and partial masking with white noise. However, I saw some recommendatations for habituation to actually listen and meditate on the tinnitus sound to make it a friend rather than enemy. I am not sure which one to apply, I tried partial masking with no...

I feel my pulse in ears same time tinnitus started, when is very quiet, all tests are fine. Also have constant migraines, I had some concussion before tinnitus, but nobody cared as my tests were fine. I think it might be related to fact that hearing system is hypersensitive and we hear more the...

I can experience few seconds to a minute of silence doing Bhramari Pranayama yoga pose (you can google), for like 7-10 times. I know it is kind of useless, but hearing silence for short time is nice.

For success stories like yours that can make me feel like I have a chance for happiness again.

Helpful book, must read for new sufferers as they can get the hope they need.

So you basically use this forum to help others as you dont need a cure anymore? Sorry if I repeat questions, I did not have time to search through your posts. I was thinking myself, maybe faith gáve me this affliction so I can get rid of it and help others and overall will be a good thing as I...

Yes, sorry, you already mentioned it previously. I am a bit discouraged because even though I stopped being afraid of it for quite a while, I saw no improvement. Your words bring me again on positivity track. Thanks again!

I read it now, is a ray of hope. Thank you for putting it down for others. What I am not sure I understood is how you dealt with going to sleep without any bedside noise and still be able to ignore it? Only by trying to think positive thoughts while your head was ringing? That is hardest part...

So what you consider your current status is now, habituated?

You think there is any way of enforcing positive associations with tinnitus sound? Like would it be better to treat it like a friend, maybe think of it as a noise that protects us or helps us sleep (like white noise). I tried to see it as neutral, hard to make it positive, but maybe would help.

Is true. Issue is that negative emotions have more impact on brain and limbic system than positive ones. So it's easier to do harm than good. Unlearning the tinnitus sound and associating it with positive reinforcement in order to retrain the brain is so hard, but its the only way.

Searching for it at very beginning was huge mistake I have done. I also felt I needed to monitor it to see if it gets better, was not sure what is with that sound, stupid reaction that I never thought it could turn to such a much worse scenario. The simple thing I know tinnitus exists, will make...

For those that do not have an organic problem, chronic tinnitus is created by our reaction when we first got it. If we could ignore it, probably tinnitus would be a non issue, but we created the vicious cycle that turned into a conditional reflex in our subconcious. All things you mentioned are...

I do not see it as threat for about 2 months. I read the TRT book and understood what I have done. But noise level did not decrease. I try not to listen to it, but is hard when I try to sleep without bedside noise or am in unavoidable silent space (like an elevator).

Not a success story, more like new dissapointment that it did not go away after doing the right things.

I did 21 HBOT sessions after 2-3 months of onset, not 1% change in my tinnitus.

I read book by Peter Studenik I Cured My Tinnitus: My path to complete recovery from Tinnitus and Hyperacusis. You can find on Amazon. He said he cured tinnitus with TRT applied by himself. I think for all with Tinnitus that do not have a know cause, no hearing loss or ENT problems, the cure...

Dude, my story is like 99% similar to yours. I even have benign fasciculations syndrome and eye floaters. My MRI and audio test is fine. Tinnitus was just a faint noise in the beginning. I overfocused and reacted with negative emotion and panicked after I read what it was and it might not go...

6-8 weeks? What is the logic behind this? I finished last week and lost hope in this therapy, why would have any effect after 6 weeks?

I did 21 HBOT sessions. Nothing changed, not a 1% percent improvement, waste of money for me. Did it after around 2-3 months from onset. My tinnitus is mild to moderate, was stress induced.
