glynis, Thank you for your kind words. It was inspiring to read and listen to those who participated in Tinnitus Week on the Tinnitus Hub. Thanks again TinA#7oct I may change one line to This hardship with a beat, I prey you can defeat, instead of you seldom can defeat. Have a great day, Tom.

Phendran, The music melody is completed, I just need to finish transcribing it for piano from Tab. I'm not a musician, singer, or writer. A wrench and screwdriver use to be my tools of the trade. I only started playing guitar to mask my tinnitus six years ago and I now write because of the...

Thank you Emmalee, My diaphragm of little exercise, I will laugh and laugh hard for you this time And when you tire, you will energize, the making of endorphins for my mind TinA#7oct

Tinnitus is a very heavy burden, and it’s weight is different for everyone. I too once carried heavy burdens when I was told I had ALS, a week before my neck was to be fused. I spent a month recovering, thinking about having to sell my business, not driving anymore, and what impact it’s going to...

Rain Rain pitter-patters off my window sill A pleasant distraction to hear its song It helps sometimes to calm my troubled mind Singing in the bliss of night, till it’s gone By TinA#7oct

Why can’t you understand me? Why can’t you understand me? is it because tinnitus is something you cannot see, never felt before, or due to fact that the noise is in my mind, and bothers me all the time? Your indifference makes it worse, I wish you could have sympathized at first, but I must...

Blanket of love and care Wrap yourself with the blanket of love and care Found here at the T forum from those who share It’s hard sometimes when the walls keep closing in I pray you find strength to push them back again By TinA#7oct

Sweat Silence Right at the waking moment, when my conscience slowly emerges from sleep There's a wisp of silence.........just before my tinnitus sounds it's first beat And in this flicker of time, I'm reminded what silence use to be I reach in my mind to pull it back, but sadly now, I wake with...

Ritchj, I have the same symptoms and because chewing makes my tinnitus very loud, I have softened my diet which allows me to enjoy my food more. Because I waited almost two years for my tooth #19 (lower first left molar) to be replaced with an implant, I chewed on my right. It made my Tinnitus...

Shem, A great post detailing your pathway to recovery. Thank you for sharing hope! Right at that waking moment, when consciousness slowly emerges from sleep There can be a wisp of silence........... before tinnitus sounds it's first loud beat. Shem, Thankyou again! TinA#7oct

Alex Prime It is nice to have memories about things we were and still are pationate about. T fades away during these times. TinA#7oct

Karaann, I also had neck surgery and developed PT shortly after. Tinnitus is like a heavy back pack placed apon my shoulders. At first it was painful to carry, it tired me out, and kept me from continuing on my way. As time went on I became stronger and now it is less of a burden. The best...

glynis, I use to listen to books on CD,s when I drove to work, has anyone tried listening to recorded books on CD,s or downloads with a speaker pillow, so as not to disturb their tinnitus. I was wondering if this would make any difference or not? Sleep deprivation has messed up my memory some, I...

Tom71, Yes it’s wonderful when tinnitus is less noticeable. Distractions from Tinnitus City noises, buses, cars, trains, and planes Drinking tea while listening to the rain Soft music filling the sweat air of spring Birds with many diverse songs to sing Petting your pet who’s sitting on your...

Tweaker If you can accomplish one little thing today so you won’t have to do it tomorrow, everyday can be a little better than the day before. Tweaker, sorry I misspelled you name in my last post. TinA#7oct

Tweaked, I agree. Sometimes tinnitus pulls the window shade down in front of us, so we can't see the beauty outside. It can be the thief in the night that robs our precious sleep, it can be the great magnifier of suffering and pain, and it can be the leech in our lives that slowly feeds away...

Thumper 123, I use my tinnitus beat to calm me down by breathing in through my nose for five beats and out my mouth for five beats. . Ear plugs may help you after getting up from hearing your baby cry. When I try to sleep, I sing in my mind to my PT beat. It's just another way to mask PT. To...

Melbournejeromy, I had my neck fused, and have similar symptoms of PT. Very few people clinch their teeth when working out, but if you do, breaking the habit will be beneficial. Sleeping on your side may increase PT, making it harder to sleep. Sleep is everything. Going to bed a little earlier...

Thumper 123, When you hold your child, rock back and forth to the sound of your heart beat, singing a nursery rhyme. When your child’s cries try to sing to them in your mind. Remember when your child cries out, he or she is telling you how much they need and love you. You and your family will...

Tweaker: From what I have read, I know you will acheive your goal. It takes a special person who weaves together words that touch our souls. Tinnitus has a way of making us get in touch with our emotions. We first feel sad and upset, get mad and even get intolerable, but as time passes we...

Hi Glynis, Working now on Music “T takes the rap” Thank you for your support, Tom TinA#7oct

Emmalee , I rewrote the poem Tinnitus my salient foe You brought to me sadness and woe Sometime a rare quiver of fear For you dull everything I hear Music demands silence you see There's no room for ringing of T Always wanting to tag along When I'm trying to write a song So since you...

Emmalee, thank you again! Becuause you write from your soul, the words you speak, don't have to rhyme. Words from the heart are always poetic, and your gift of words make you shine. It's my pulsating tinnitus that brings out the poet in me. Some one once said "When when loose your talents...

Great poem Tweaker, TinA#7oct

Tinnitus my salient foe You bring me sadness and woes Sometimes there’s a quiver of fear When you mask what I need to here Music demands silence you see There’s no room for you here my T Always wanting to tag along When I’m trying to write a song So since you will not disappear I guess I’ll...

JassonP, I just had a Starkey upgrade, and was surprised by what I could hear. All the high pitched sounds similar to my tinnitus were also magnified. I only needed voice frequencies amplified nothing higher. The phone app helps some, but turning the hearing aids off, helps more. Will be...

Vermillion, thank you for your reply, I rewrote T takes the rap ( pub version), T pounds and it pounds to the rhythm of the heart T rings and it pings as it pulls our lives apart T clicks and it ticks like an old clock on the wall T chirps like a bird sending ou a mating call T whines and it...

Pulsatile Tinnitus is the metronome of my life now, but not my master. Years ago I started writing music for the sole purpose of making my tinnitus part of it. I got the idea from the song “ Blackbird “ by the Beatles. The open third guitar string G, is repeatedly played throughout the song. I...

Veronica, No, my PT increased over time. I have had PT for six years now, but only this year, I have used the PT forum. This is your advantage for learning ways to prevent further damage. For example, no sugar. You stand before the mountain of PT, and there are many paths you can take...

johnpaul I have an old Alvarez that I down tune and play. I have never been in a band. I just play because I love it so. A way of dealing with stress from work and now the stress of my tinnitus. I play very soft and sing in my head. I pick a slow song so my PT can help keep the beat as I...

From the dark forest, I have arrived into the sunshine. I feel the warmth on my face, that I have missed for so long. I still drag behind me the heavy chains of my tinnitus, as a reminder of the suffering they have caused in my life. This day I will cry no more, for I am in a new place now. I...

Ceiling fan, special recorded music, Trazadone if needed, CPAP, mouth guard, and chin strap for occlusal drift. TinA#7oct

Ever since my neck fussion, I have been sleeping in a recliner. Any pressure other than the back of my head and neck, will greatly increase my tinnitus. The main reason for the recliner is helping me to get up, due to ALS. TinA#7oct
