    Best Guess on When Tinnitus Will Be Cured?

    Thanks for your post Vicktor. It makes me feel a little better to know there are other people out there freaking out at work, going home and listening to crickets, and then going to bed and listening to rain.

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    I checked out a hearing clinic hear with an audiologist who went to one of Jasteboff's seminars and was offering Tinnitus Retraining Therapy. I paid a few hundred dollars to meet with her twice. She was very nice, and friendly, but didn't tell me anything I didn't already know about TRT by...

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    Welp. I took my sound generators off today. The echoing was really bad, I started to get a panic attack. This is really crappy, I currently cannot mask my tinnitus. More accurately, I have a second tinnitus now. The original one, and a new one, that rings and warbles when I listen to any sound.

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    Hmm, perhaps I will at some point. All my life I have slept on my side. Trying to sleep flat on my back has introduced even more problems, I snore like a wildebeast. A lot of TRT seems to have to do with counseling, and explaining all the principles. I don't see myself going in again for...

    Anyone Have Experience With Amitriptyline for Sleep?

    I've had tinnitus over a month now. I'm over the "it's probably best to just kill myself" mentality and I'm starting the road to habituation. Right now I'm most concerned about my cocktail of drugs for sleep and anxiety. First I got ativan (worked ok for a week or so) but it started to have...
