    Thanks Lane. Yes I’ve discontinued using them. I got some buds for the flight, low to no volume. Lesson learned.

    Hello Everyone

    So far I don’t think there’s much reduction from the P but it’s only been a day. The anti-anxiety meds are helping, basically I can hear the T but don’t care. Hardly a sustainable situation but ok for the time being. It’s becoming very obvious it’s right ear only also. Hope you’re good J.

    Tinnitus for a Long Time

    Hi Mike. No advice here as I’m one of those unfortunates who was terrified when it showed up at age 50. Hoping to get to a point where I’m more tolerant of it as you are. Good luck with your search for peace.

    Hello Everyone

    Thanks J. I’m actually going to hang out with a friend who has three dogs, you seem to read my mind. I’ll ask the doctor about prednisone. I guess if that reduces the T that helps the anxiety and sleeping too. Failing that have you considered anti-anxiety or sleeping aids? Thanks again.

    Hello Everyone

    Thanks guys. Yes I’m sitting here watching the Tour de France reading the forum. Seeing very similar stories, many much worse, but lots of positivity which helps a lot. Plan is to distract myself a lot today, walking, Lego etc. get myself really tired and try out some masking sounds.

    Hello Everyone

    Hi all. Gosh what would we do without forums, even writing this is starting to calm me down. I’ll share a few random things in case anyone sees an association but I promise to review the forums in detail and educate myself. Apologies if I over-share, i’m a little OCD and suffer from anxiety...
