    How to Forgive Myself?

    Yes it is. http://www.tinnitus-study.info/cz-home. But I would rather recomend you habituation, there are options, cause this clinic trials are pretty invasive (in my opinion). It gets better, you'll see.

    Nice Ear Muffs

    Not really a muffler, but not really an ear plug neither: musicians ear plugs work for me - like Alpine: http://kytary.cz/alpine-music-safe-pro/HN131839/ or http://www.alpinehearingprotection.com/earplugs/musicsafe-pro/.

    Cast Away 2: Self-esteem on the island of Tinnitus

    Thank you all for your replies, from the deep of my heart. Your experience and insights mean a lot to me, @Dr. Nagler, @MattK, @billie48 and @Telis. I see now this island is maybe not so deserted as it seems to be at first. And maybe it's not even an island - maybe it's just a peninsula. And...

    Cast Away 2: Self-esteem on the island of Tinnitus

    Hello. I'm sorry, this is just a cry for help. I would like to ask you, fellow Tinnitusians (a nationality I just made up) about self-esteem and confidence. Because that's what I am losing every day. Since the onset of the MoAT (mother of all tinnituses) I'm losing it. I'm losing myself, I am...

    Sound Reactive Tinnitus. Help Please.

    Thank you all for your answers. After finally finding a doctor who tested my LDLs, I'm finding out that I really am hyperacustic (even when 3 doctors before told me I'm not, without even suggesting LDL). So I know what's going on now. I'll try to get help with this and see. :)

    Hyperacusis TRT Protocol

    I wonder if anyone could explain me this please? I would also like to ask @Dr. Nagler for his opinion: 1. If there are wearable sound generators used in TRT, what is the difference of their use between tinnitus and hyperacusis? Is it a constant volume for tinnitus and gradually rising volume...

    The Positivity Thread

    I believe today. I believe I can make it. "If you're going through hell, keep going," said Winston Churchill. "The only way out is through," sang Alanis Morisette. I started to do relaxation breath techniques to help me with my shattered sleep. I wake up too early for 2 months now... but today I...

    Sound Reactive Tinnitus. Help Please.

    Thank you for encouraging words, Billie. I will hope and believe this reactive nightmare will pass. I am training my ears to the sounds as you said. It has cut me off socially. I guess I'll just have to carry on and believe my brain can fix this.

    Sound Reactive Tinnitus. Help Please.

    Thank you. I got the musician earplugs too, yet I don't use them much. I try not to avoid the sound, as in hyperacusis protocol, I guess I should train the brain "it's all right". It's just so hard. I've read a lot about tinnitus, I get the Jastreboff principle, but I just don't understand this...

    Habituation Process Completed...

    Thank you for the meditation advice. I used to meditate a lot too before T, but now I just can't make it. Guess I'll have to try, even it's far from the meditative state I used to know... I'll be trying.

    Sound Reactive Tinnitus. Help Please.

    Hello everybody, could you please help me? I have no idea how to try to habituate to my sound-reactive tinnitus. It goes "volume up" with any louder sound around me, even my own voice. Then it goes back down. Let's say a dog barks: WHOOF! My tinnitus goes: BEEEP! Let's say somebody (or I)...

    Can Someone Clarify This: What's The Difference Between Fleeting, Reactive, and Spiking Tinnitus?

    Thank you for your reply and your perspective, @Dr. Nagler. I like it. I will head this way.

    Can Someone Clarify This: What's The Difference Between Fleeting, Reactive, and Spiking Tinnitus?

    I fully understand your point, doctor, but I still see the "reactiveness" of my tinnitus as a crucial aspect of it that therefore needs to be addressed (and I would really love to be wrong in this). As I was writing before (and thank you once again for your answer), it reacts even to my own...

    Thank you for your reply, 2131e. I hope the steroids help! Let us know if it works for you afterwards.

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Hello all, I would like to ask you: do you think it's a good idea to try corticosteroids 2 months after tinnitus onset (acoustic shock)? I am a highly anxious person and I see there are bad psychologic (and other) side effects of these. After all I've read, I don't find any hint that...

    Tinnitus Reacts to My Own Voice

    Dear dr. Nagler, I would like to ask you about a „reactive“ tinnitus and it's handling in TRT. My tinnitus reacts to sounds, including my own voice. It goes up in volume in the moment of the sound and then goes down immediately. It's like it's „underlining“ the sounds. It destroys my ability...

    New to This. How Loud Is Your Tinnitus, Have You Tried Meditation, Problems with Hyperacusis...

    Hello, 2131e, 1. I hear it all the time, because it's reactive to sound (after acoustic shock almost two months ago). When a truck goes by, it escalates to match its loudness. When I am in a cafe, it reacts to other people's voices and all that ambient noise. And whenever I talk just a bit...
