Thanks. I need to get some rest and Trazodone isn't cutting it so maybe I'll look into those.

I think the cure for most tinnitus lies in GABA / glutamate system.

Someone could at least come up with a high tech masker that actually works....

Unfortunately my journey with benzodiazepines was a disaster. While my T was mostly dormant there was severe damage to my central nervous system. I've been tapering off Valium for almost 500 days and am barely able to walk due to the damage to my neuromuscular system. Benzo tolerance and...

Reactive tinnitus...sound reactive...kindling...wind up...whatever it's called. Escalates as the day wears on and unleashes at 3AM bolting me out of a Trazodone and Visteril sleep. Whatever I'm trying to use for ambient gets amplified 10 times...humidifier, streaming sounds on Bose Soundock...

I have MyNoise I think I need something directly pumping into the ear.

Thanks...doing natural sleep stuff. I guess what I really need is a masker or sound generator that works...any ideas? In the interim that is...

Hi everyone, Excuse the length. I've been suffering with tinnitus for 3 years and I think the cause was a single dose of Wellbutrin in Oct 2012. Anyhow, we bombed it with psych meds and a well intentioned psychiatrist put me on Xanax in Apr 2014, I developed severe tolerance and got very sick...

I started recently with the SoundCure Serenade and am working with an audiologist, the side effects are so overwhelming from Valium withdrawal that I haven't been very consistent with the device, my biggest challenge has been finding a nighttime solution.

It all began 3 years ago today. I had been using Ambien intermittently for several years and was having some huge stressors at work. The Ambien stopped working and my insomnia peaked. I raised my hand for help with my local GP and he Rxd Wellbutrin. Why he chose to give a stressed out...

What is the best way to treat or manage this?

My tinnitus seems to ramp up when I try to get into a noise rich environment. This is true particularly on those days when it is very bothersome. It's almost less annoying in a quite room than when trying to mask it with other sounds. Any insight into this?

I know this is probably a dumb question but I've read through the book that describes TRT and the use of sound generators, etc. Can someone list some options? At this point I really don't care what it costs. Nightstand sound machines are a joke for me as are iPhone apps. I need somthing that...

What kind of device are you using?

I am in severe tolerance withdrawal from benzos prescribed for tinnitus. I can relate.

Interesting thread, now I know what I have. I was calling mine "competitive" but perhaps reactive is the better term. If I go into a noise rich environment, the tinnitus merely ramps up in intensity. It is aweful.

Geo, Benzos are not supposed to be prescribed for more than a few weeks. Many patients build up a tolerance to these drugs meaning you either have to take more of it to get the same effect or your body starts to have withdrawals even at the therapeautic dose. Benzos work by binding to your...

If I could go back to the day my Dr put me on benzos daily for T I would have run out of his office so fast it would have broken windows. Now I can't run, or work, or do anything as benzos destroyed my CNS. Take as needed and use sparingly or not at all.

What is a good wearable sound generator consistent with TRT?

My tinnitus was also caused by Wellbutrin. It started on day 1 and I stopped on Day 11. I'm right here with you. Life changing.

What kind of speakers or dock are you using?

Where does one go to get TRT?

All, I am looking for a masking solution for my tinnitus at night. The nightstand machines really don't help and I feel like I need something in my ear to drown it out. Insomnia and tinnitus feed on each other and I'm in great distress. I haven't tried pillow speakers yet and most appear to...

I am looking for a masking solution for sleep. What works for you? Insomnia due to tinnitus is very tough for me.

All I can say is I am 4 months into tapering off Valium after switching from Xanax and Klonopin for treatment of tinnitus. Benzos have destroyed my life and it will be a year or two before I'm off the meds and recovered, or maybe even dead. Yes, they took away the T, which is now coming...

Here is my story and worth reading: I had insomnia and anxiety most of my life but it wasn’t severe. I left the military with some very mild, intermittent, left ear tinnitus that never bothered me. It was the fall of 2012 and I had been having some stressful issues at work. My anxiety and...

I am convinced there is a relationship between my tinnitus and serotonin. I have had to quit 2 SSRIs due to adverse side effects I couldn't tolerate (severe muscle pain and weakness). Both Lexapro and most recently Celexa, would often give me 2-3 days of no tinnitus in a row. Celexa was the...

I met with an audiologist and once he gets my ENT results from a battery of ear testing, he plans to start some therapy for me. I am also having a brain MRI. He gave me an App called Tinnitus Measurer and asked me to check to try and isolate the frequency and volume level of my tinnitus. The...

Calming it down is sort of relative. I believe my tinnitus was brought on by extreme stress, anxiety and sleep deprivation. Although I've gotten better at managing those things, the tinnitus remains with me. I have created song playlists of calming music and use Bose QC-15 noise canceling...

I inadvertently posted this in the ear pain forum so moved it here…. Thanks in advance for reading this long post. I have always been a somewhat anxious and high-strung person…incessant worry, etc. but at the same time an over-achiever. In the fall of 2012 I had a variety of setbacks at work...
