Spiders for sure.

I play guitar in a couple of bands. Not alot anymore maybe between 25 to 30 times a year. My tinnitis never bothers me while I am playing and in fact I completely forget about it. At first I worried the music would make it worse but it hasn't.

Here is an update on the resound alera TS hearing aids. I have been wearing them since nov. They are programed to raise decibles for greater than 3000htz to a normal level. When they are worn I hear much more clearly like when the treble control for an amplifier is increased. It is especially...

Great post Vicktor. You certainly gave me some hope. Karl I have had hearing aids now for about three months. There has been no change for me other than I hear alot better. I have the resound alera TS that are programed to increase DB of 3Khz and higher. They have a program that provides a low...

I had occasional short bouts for two or three years that lasted only a matter of hours then at 62 one evening watching TV it started and hasn't stopped. Been steady for nine months. I have habituated for a few months now but it is still bothersome especially at bedtime.

I cannot imagine your grief Mike. I am very sorry for your loss.

Hi all, I did get the hearing aids last Monday. Erik they are the resound alera ts. You can push a button and they generate a white noise. I had the audiologist set the volumn lower than the hissing which is the type of sound I hear. I have preferred rain sounds over white noise to help get to...

I am getting hearing aids this coming monday. I have severe high freq. loss in both ears over 3000KHertz. I am really hopeful it will quiet it down. If it does I'll post it. And yes Karl they are very expensive. If it works for me I plan on supporting causes to help unsured sufferers afford them.

Just wanted to chime if I may. I just past 6 months with it. It was about a couple of months ago that I started to habituate somewhat. Its still annoying but I find now that I can do everything I did before I got it. I am even starting to be able to get to sleep sometimes without masking. It...

Mine is lower when I wake up. In fact I sometimes dont hear anything for a few seconds. The volume will increase as the day wears on if I think about it. In fact it seems louder now as I write this. I like DezDogs approach. I too play in bands. One of them is really loud. I wear earplugs with...

Yes I am still playing and gigging. I now where earplugs if its with a loud band. You may be right about habituation but I dont feel any differently except its so much more annoying. Then suddenly for a couple of days its not as bothersome. I cant make any sense out why it changes for no...

I have noticed that sugar has a bad effect on the tinnitis. I was wondering if sugar substitutes such as splenda or truvia also have this effect. Has anybody else tried them? Also I am still trying to figure out why some days the volume seems so much louder than others. Can I expect this happen...

Thanks DD I'll give it a try

Hello all. I joined a few weeks ago and have read many of the posts. My tinnitus has stayed about the same for 5 weeks now. The anxiety has diminished quite a bit since then. I went to my primary physician and he prescribed Xanax in a low dose to help that. It's 0.25 mg up to three times a day...

Hi Phil I see you are musician. I also have been a working musician most of my life. I play guitar sometimes bass sometimes 6 string. I have been working in bands along time and was wondering if you are still playing despite your tinnitus. I have always loved being in bands but think maybe I...
