    3 Months Into Mild Tinnitus — Story for Newbies to Help Cope with Initial Panic and Depression

    Hey @rmnkby, this is a great post! A lot of what you said is something that I try to tell myself when I’m feeling super down and anxious. If you don’t mind me asking, how mild is your tinnitus? Meaning.. when do you really hear it? Thanks in advance!

    Poll: After Getting Tinnitus, How Long Did It Take You to Start Sleeping Normally Again?

    Poll: After Getting Tinnitus, How Long Did It Take You to Start Sleeping Normally Again?

    Hi guys, I've had loud tinnitus for 2 months now and have really been struggling to sleep. I take .25 or .5 mg of Clonazepam before bed and I'm kind of afraid to be taking the full dose of 1 mg before bed every night but I've become so sleep deprived that I will begin to take the full dose. I...

    Fleeting Tinnitus After Chiropractor? (NUCCA)

    NUCCA is a bit different though. The NUCCA Chiro I saw said himself he switched from regular chiropractic to NUCCA because the “regular” chiropractic doesn’t really help in his opinion. I thought that was pretty honest of him to say. @JohnAdams

    Fleeting Tinnitus After Chiropractor? (NUCCA)

    I feel the same way knowing that I can get huge relief when I force my neck in certain positions but the moment I release my neck the tinnitus immediately returns. Almost like I’m releasing something every time I activate some muscles of my neck. Is your t unilateral? @Lane
