Appreciate your response @Michael Leigh and I do need to reconsider my approach after reading your material. My tinnitus has never been maskable, so I tend not to use sound enrichment at all and I think this has helped me to habituate. I do, however, use earbuds at night to listen to podcasts...

Hi everyone, I haven't been on the forum for ages, but find myself back, which is not always a good sign. After having moderate tinnitus for nearly 3 years from noise exposure, I have recently started attending gigs again with hearing protection. I also do quite a few gym classes with hearing...

Thanks very much, @BrOKeN_1. Yeah I went from being hospitalised and suicidal to really not giving a shit within about 6 months. Managed to remain in that state for 12 months or so and it's my goal to get back to that state of mind. My mental health has been an issue for most of my life, so...

Checking back in to my old thread because I have recently taken a dive with regards to my anxiety levels and relationship with tinnitus. I am not sure if my tinnitus has increased, but it is certainly at the forefront of my awareness at the moment. This is affecting my mood and desire to do...

Don't underestimate your ability to push through the challenges of a pressurized job. I'll keep it short but I had essentially the same issue as you in that I was on the cusp of being offered a life-changing role (though lower stakes than your gig, I admit) when I first started suffering from...

Yeah, that's something that I absolutely realise - it was the anxiety that nearly killed me, not the tinnitus.

I'm taking Pristiq (Desvenlafaxine) 100 mg, but I would encourage you to discuss with your doctor etc. It is listed as ototoxic, but I haven't let that concern me - my psychiatrist recommended it, knowing about my tinnitus, so I made a conscious decision to leave my fate in the hands of experts...

Hi everyone, just thought I'd take a moment to share. I was first impacted by tinnitus back in January this year. I think it had been developing gradually over my 40 odd years of loud music and such. Life suddenly turned upside down and I already have high anxiety/depression so I became...

Not familiar with HOF but will give them a listen when this spike calms down. Yeah EHG were tight and I've pretty much watched every Youtube vid there is. New album is out tomorrow, but I have to say my passion for music has diminished quite a bit. I'm getting old anyway.....

Me on the left with Mike IX Williams from Eyehategod in Nov 2019. Such a cool guy. This show in particular would have sent me on my road to permanent T. Wish I had done things differently, but in hindsight, listening to loud music was my relaxation and break from chronic anxiety/depression...

Hey everyone, been lurking for the past couple of months since encountering tinnitus in January just gone, so 2 months ago. I live in Australia. I am 46 and have always loved loud music, since a child, and so I assume this to be the primary cause. It seemed to appear after I accidentally...
