The event was fantastic, the speakers were really good and the Mindfulness session by Dr. Laurence McKenna was a particular highlight. Really appreciative of the BTA to bring this event to Aberdeen and give us this opportunity.

Yeah alright, in the beginning it was torture and I thought it was the end of the world. But gradually I got used to it, my brain sorta tuned it out but it still drives me crazy when I'm trying to sleep or focus at work. My worry is that it gets worse, I'm only 26 so it has plenty of time to get...

Haha yeah it's really good they're coming up here! Should be a good turnout in that case. It was actually my girlfriend that noticed it was on so we're heading over next week!

The BTA will be bringing the next in their series of FREE one day Regional Tinnitus Information Days to Aberdeen on 7 May 2016 If like myself, anyone on this forum lives in Aberdeen (Scotland, U.K) or is within close enough travelling distance to come along the BTA is holding an event on...

It's funny you should mention this because a couple of weeks before my tinnitus started I had pain in my wisdom teeth.......

Wow! Your situation almost completely mirrors my one! Get everything checked out to be safe. My doctor keeps telling me it is withdrawal from the Prozac and it is a common side effect, I hope this is what it is in your case. :)

Yeah I've got the hissing sound too.......... I've got three sounds: hissing, the "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" that sound like electical distortion and if it's very quiet I hear a "whoomp, whoomp, whoomp" sound all at the same time.

My friend and I have a film company. Filmmaking is our passion in life! We used to make films and enter them into film festivals which was great fun! He knows I have Tinnitus and his father also has had it for as long as he can remember so he understands. We used to specifically pick serene...

Yeah my heart sank a bit at that too. Imagine if they discovered a treatment or cure for Tinnitus and it could cure many people's type of tinnitus but couldn't help your own type. You'd be gutted. But we have to be optimistic, there's not much point in being anything else ;)

Did my first session of this today. I've had tinnitus for over 5 weeks. Was incredibly painful in my right ear to begin with (the ear with the worse tinnitus) but after a while it was okay. I 'popped' my ears and the sounds i heard in the right ear were incredible, it sounded like a washing...

Hmm Julich, Germany is where that neuromodulation device for Tinnitus is from......could the research be linked?

Everyday I wake up and with this high frequency screech in my ear I think to myself, we're another day closer to something happening. Whether it's a cure, treatment, understanding or breakthrough. When I first started getting this I thought "Right, what can I do?" because I hate the idea of...

I totally agree with this! Silly, little petty things don't annoy me anymore....I've developed a "So what?" attitude to them. Also if my tinnitus went away, or even became less intense it would be the best feeling ever! :)

I totally agree with your suggestion with these two @Markku. I was thinking perhaps celebrities would be more responsive to a charity or independent body as opposed to a number of individuals (i.e. us). Maybe our approach should be to the British Tinnitus Association (as Chris Martin is...

Thanks. It's just when you read it can affect your vision and stuff, you hesitate regardless of the aforementioned studies.

I'm expecting some replies tomorrow morning in my inbox with regards to receiving this treatment. Everyone keeps talking to me about this crucial 3 month window before there is no going back for tinnitus so I intend to do my upmost to give myself the best possible chance. Have any of you...

I'm glad to hear your anxiety and reaction levels are down man. I'm thinking of going down the Julian Cowan Hill route myself. I agree with your "we're all in this together" comment, I'm so glad I discovered this forum and see we are getting new members everyday who we can also support.

I've started contacting places that offer this sort of treatment in Scotland to see if I can receive some, I've only had my tinnitus for under 5 weeks. I'll give anything a go to get ANY sort of relief! Fingers crossed!

I couldn't agree more @Carlos1. I see all of the different nationalities on this forum and all of the different countries undertaking research into tinnitus and wish they could all come together and collaborate in the same way we do! (This probably happens without me knowing and if so...

Very generous indeed from the donor! They will be getting my donation from my little corner of the UK! :)

Haha I don't know about coping Kenny, I've only had it a month and my mind has taken me to some dark places! When I feel bad or down I just come onto this forum and read the 'Research News' thread and the fact people are trying to discover a treatment for this makes me feel better!

I work in the Contracts department of an Oil company, so as you can imagine it's deadly quiet in the office. I've started going to my desk and putting my headphones in straight away so I have noise to distract me from the tinnitus while I work.......... Same here, what other choice is there...

I can't tell you how happy I am that you Tinnitus has stopped @Srdjan !! It must have been a huge relief to you, I can't imagine how good it must have felt! :)

Your situation echoes mine, everything in my life has changed since my Tinnitus developed and the outlook does seem bleak. The two highlights of my day: 1. The shower in the morning because it completely covers my tinnitus. 2. Driving to/from work with my music playing and the fan on. Pretty...

Funnily enough before I started having tinnitus, I did sleep with my iPad on the pillow next to me every day for 4 years.....a device constantly receiving a Wi-Fi signal. It would be an unconventional reason for my tinnitus but so far it could be as good a reason as any!

Shame we can't just take off our headphones, eh?

Oh no no no, you can't force people to participate. It could be a feature of Tinnitus awareness week or something, you get volunteers to take part in the challenge! I reckon after 24 hours of the noise people would be saying "Man, you've got that all the time?!?"

Hi all, I thought of a tinnitus awareness technique the other day and wanted to see what all you guys think of it. People can take 'The Tinnitus Test' (don't worry about the name), participants have to wear an audio device (walkman, iPod etc.) which makes the constant sound of tinnitus that...

I've had eye floaters since early 2009, when I first got them I thought it was the end of the world. I was depressed, unhappy, withdrawn etc......... It took me about two years to get used to them. Now I don't even notice them and even forget I have them, your brain really does just stop...

Thank you for your message @billie48 ! I'm finding it hard to cope with because it is totally constant. But if it does improve over time for whatever reason I guess that is a good thing! I've been looking into the research into this and as a proactive person I don't like just 'accepting'...

Hi everyone! :) I'm a 25 year old male who has been suffering from Tinnitus for almost 4 weeks now. It is a high frequency constant, intense ring which is causing me immense irritation and difficulty sleeping. It is torture! It just came on out of the blue, I was watching TV one evening, I...
