Does it get better with time? No. Do you habituate and get used to it? Somewhat. Does it get worse over time? Mine sure has but I had years of practice to deal with it. Will there be a cure? Only if they re-grow ears with stem cells and I don't see how I could possibly afford it or live to see...

Things you will need : A computer with internet. Get your Tinnitus Frequencies by matching your sound with the online tones at a sight like AudioNotch.com (Mine is 2 tones at around 3700 Hz and an octave above that so about 7400 Hz) Get free audio mixer online called Audacity. MP3 recordings of...

I am with you on that line of thinking. The sound of water really helps. The ATA website allows you to mix water sounds to your own liking then download the file as a wav file. Works pretty well..not perfect but what the heck its free. You are not alone and I send you and everyone my best wishes...

Derpytia, it very very likely will get easier to live with over time ...this does seem to be a recurring theme and I am living proof but had some bad luck unfortunately. So hang in there because sometimes the simplest thing can make your day and it really does help to know we are not alone in...

I have had T for 10 years and had habituated to it without a doubt. It started out severe then tapered off with the help of masking and ignoring as best I could and I agree that one must work at not reacting to it but MASKING is a key element. Mine was from kidney surgery and either the...

I was so hopeful even after they said the price. $7000.00 !!! Then a pause. "Oh your insurance won't cover these" I felt like I had been shot in the face. I knew in my heart that they would only cover up the T anyway and I tried to just shrug it off...but it broke me. I feel very alone. My...

I am a 10 year survivor of Kidney Cancer and Tinnitus. I have learned a lot. Tinnitus is nerve damage in the middle ear specifically in the organ of corti...the hair like cilia that transform sound wave frequencies into a signal that your brain can recognize. When the cilia are damaged, you are...

Well actually, I always thought extrovert tendencies were a sign of mental illness or lower IQ. I think most highly intelligent people are so-called introverts. So I find this introvert theory a bunch of pseudo-medical-grasping at straws-babble. My T rages at a level that would bring anyone to...

Yes I was thinking I would buy a small fountain to put next to my bed. I would like to make a fountain hat that I could wear all day! Like a beer can hat but water falling onto a tiny ceramic tile next to my ear! The guys with the white coats would probably take it away from me ... I always try...

I have always been hopeful over my ten years of hell that since water in the shower seemed to mask the ringing almost completely, then there was hope for audio therapy. Only the sound of real water ...not a recording. Recordings can help but it seems the ambient sound of real water has a very...

Thanks for the thoughts. i live at the beach and since I am not working anymore for now, I don't think I will be going back to Law Office work. The beach really helps me and maybe I can work in a home depot or some place really loud!

Yep...same here. My friends seem to avoid me now as they have seen how much I have deteriorated. I have lost about 30 lbs (6-2 160 is NOT good) and I have had to take in a roommate to help with the rent. I look in the mirror and I don't even recognize my reflection. My friend's cats always come...

Mine came from Antibiotic Vancomycin after kidney surgery. It was intravenous. Never had tinnitus until that surgery. Anesthesia can cause it as well but through my research I found that only spinal anesthesia seems to have an ototoxic reactions. If you have impaired renal function, you are...

Ok well ...my State Disability was approved now I am battling with the Feds. I am absolutely shocked and disgusted with the medical treatment I have received. Luckily, my ENT signed my disability and I will deal with him from now on and leave my internist out of the loop all together as far as...

I have had Tinnitus for 10 (TEN!) years. It started the day I came home from the hospital after having my kidney removed. (Cancer) It started when I woke up that first morning and sounded like a thousand birds chirping. It changed after a few weeks to a set of two tones ...constant and...
