They can be noisy yes, e.g., when they hear a sound that they relate to getting food, but not super loud.

I made a bit blunt reply, sorry for that. I will post a better one later ;-)

It's simply no crap. I do understand the feelings and behavior of the people in this topic. I also was like: "Yeah fuck off with your psycho stuff". But hey, here I'am advocating for CBT or ACT for people with both tinnitus and hyperacusis. Advocating that protecting your ears from normal...

Well, I don't want to be rude, but it's not the tinnitus and hyperacusis that is blocking you from doing shit... It is you that are doing it. Again I was in the same shithole, avoiding every fucking sound. Cleaning out the dishwasher was a nightmare for me, or driving. But then the meds kicked...

I really get you, but please realize that some of us made it because of medication. For example, I needed medication for my OCD. Fixing my OCD (more or less) helped massively in accepting tinnitus and hyperacusis. I hope you find your way up soon, like most of us do. Although, I also know the...

Look at this thread. For most people, vaccines didn't have any impact on tinnitus/hyperacusis, and those who noticed some impact are saying that it was just for a few days/weeks. Please notice that there are also a lot of people making false reports of side effects. Here in the Netherlands one...

Well, if you get confronted with diseases like Parkinson's or others that have a major impact on your life, psychosocial therapy is often part of your treatment plan. Just to cope with the distress of getting that message. The son of a former colleague got diagnosed with MS, and became...

I always compare it a bit with the treatment/training that you can get for arachnophobia. You learn to deal with your anxiety. You learn to face it, and that is the best trick to overcome it. And again I'm not saying that it works for everyone, although I'm having a spike for a week or...

Tinnitus had a big impact on my life and thoughts, now it's just a minor issue. So yeah, I did beat tinnitus. The risk that it's getting louder is not on my mind regularly. I only take care that in some situations I protect my ears, like normal people should do as well. I don't even check...

Well, a lot of mental issues have a physical root cause. So one can argue that psychological therapy has never cured a physical illness. Mindfulness, for example, has shown the same "changes" in the brain as antidepressants do. However, like meds, it's not working for everyone. For me...

I think you are missing the point that these methods aren't cures, but might make your ability to deal with shitshows like tinnitus much better. And sometimes that can feel like a cure for some.

There is some miscommunication going on here. My tinnitus is not stable, my OCD is ;-) My OCD was delaying my ability to cope with tinnitus. However I realized that tinnitus got an obsession of itself. Learning how to cope with (far more distressing) obsessive thoughts/images I knew that I had...

Yes I even went to rave parties. On one of them the sound seemed not to be that loud. So I kept my ear protection in my pockets. My tinnitus reacted quite pissed and decided to be louder than the music. Luckily it went back to normal levels after I put in the ear protection.

Well I know people who are dealing quite well with tinnitus that is even louder than the sirens of a firetruck. The only thing is that people, who say psychological therapy or TRT can cure tinnitus, are wrong. It's learning to deal with it, and most of us can do that. However, if you are having...

I did ACT, and it helped massively, but my main issue was OCD with having tinnitus as one of my obsessions. When ACT reduced my OCD I was able to deal with the tinnitus. I think ACT really can help to deal with the emotional side. Is it a cure? Nope it ain't.

It is, learning how to accept things made my life much easier.

That is why I made the remark "most of the time", my tinnitus is fluctuating all the time, it can be very loud and almost nothing can mask it. I realize that if it was like this all the time that things would be much harder to deal with. I also realize that psychological therapy is the magic...

Well Clomi is well known for it's anti obsessive potential that already can do a lot for us T suffers.

I have posted already one or two success stories before. On moments that I wished I was there, but it turned out to be just a few good days. Or maybe I was just lying to myself... But now as I'm in this almost 9 years and being stable for almost 2 and a half years, it's time for the final...

Since aprox a year the psych added quetiapine to help my AD (Clomipramine and low low low dose of Mirtazapine). I take it around 20:00 and it will take care that my thoughts just stop around 23:30 so I can fall a sleep easy. So even on those days that T is freaking loud it will take care that...

The vaccine had no impact at all (Pfizer).

I was focusing a lot on my tinnitus, when the Clomipramine kicked in I lost focus on it for the majority of the day.

I have great results with Clomipramine. I got it for OCD but it fixed my tinnitus obsession for a great part as well. For sleep I take 7.5mg of Mirtazapine as well.

CBT worked for me (in addition of medication). But I had setbacks due to issues with my medication (dropping plasma levels..). So I decided that I needed something better than medication alone. I'm sure that the medication calmed my feelings on T & H. However when things went south with...

Haven't been here for a long time... As meds helped me to habituate to the tinnitus thing... So was shocked and surprised when this news reached me via Facebook... Never talked to the guy but saw his willingness to help others and wasn't aware he had still major issues (with/due to) tinnitus.

Yes I go against that advice. Yes my T was a bit louder after New Years eve.. However just next to us a very loud firework exploded. Everyone was grabbing to their ears.. I didn't because the protection did his work. Almost every T specialist advises to protect your ears in situations that you...

One advise, buy good earplugs. A Dutch test on television showed that earp protection for events with loud music are the best for fireworks. Buy some good ones so that you also can use it for other events. Put these things in your ear and go outside at 00:00 and enjoy the fireworks. Don't let...

So year forward and made major steps. Accepted my T so far that it's time to say goodbye too my AD medication. From tomorrow on I will lower the dosage step by step until I'm off it. Moments like the one in the picture will provide me with the power to make it :)

Mine is stress/anxiety induced. The best tip is to don't get the vicious circle started like I did. Don't obsess about it, espescally yours is just three times a day; mine is/was 24*7. If you can't get your mind off, follow therapy..

Regarding your foot pain: http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/foot-pain/Pages/Introduction.aspx#plantar Common thing altough it took me a while to find a doc to fix it.. I now have special soles that keep it pretty stable. Ps, it most of the times not always your heel that is hurting.

@LadyDi I asked my psychiatrist about the link. Because if it was really linked to my mental disorder than maybe it was something that doctor was able to fix. She told me that indeed there isn't a known link, but that she just noticed as something that a lot of her patients where complaining...

@Zora well I'm on 30 mg mirtazapine for sleep and also to boost my main ad which is Clomipramine. Brand names for both: Remeron for mirtazapine Anafranil for clomipramine For short term relieve you can use lorazepam or lormetazepam. Both being benzos hence addictive so don't use them for...

Hi all, I already posted a succes story but time went on and I'm in a much better place since my first succes story. The reason for writing this second one is also due to the fact that I have learned something about T and H which I want to share. At the moment that my H started I was doing...

Update: The combo mirtazapine and clomipramine is fixing my reaction to T. My issue is that I'am far too obsessed with it. My T is still there, sometimes loud sometimes I can't even hear it (most parts of the day). But the thing that is making me happy and hopeful for the future is the fact...

So being on mirtazapine and clomipramine for a few months now. The mirtazapine seems to help with sleeping. Clomipramine is fixing the depression and anxiety step by step. One of them seems to increase my T a bit. However my reaction to it is getting better.

I visted Aruba, Dubai, Greece, Egypt, Italy, Spain (Tenerife), Germany, The UK (Football related), Belgium and Turkey.

IA must be AI...

That was so ***** annoying. Just happened once to me in 16 so far, I guess because I pushed the wrong button :). I like as it because it's getting closer to "real football". End of story for the guys that knew a lot of tricks, you also need to have some football insight. Maybe in the future...

XboxO At first it thought that it was more of the same; but small changes in the game play makes it more realistic. Some reviewers are saying that it's too realistic; which can be a deal breaker for the more casual gamer..

@Hunszi when my T started I didn't want to do the thing I loved to do. However I forceer myself to do them anyways (with the help of meds) and within a few weeks I enjoyed most of those things again. What i've learned from having T and depression.. that sometimes you have to ignore your feelings.

Forza Motorsport 6, Fifa 16 and Battlefield Hardline Also playing Big Pharma; trying to find a cure for T

Well the tapper of the benzo caused a major set-back. Ended up in psych ward again.. Psych diagnosed me with OCD and that gave new insights and he added clomipramine to the mirtazapine... Started now therapy to deal with my OCD. Last week I had the intake for the OCD therapy and the psych told...

I'am on 75mg Clomipramine since yesterday, increased dosage from 25mg to 50mg and now at 75mg. Yesterday I needed a pain killer (Naproxen) and had a spike last night.. However my reaction to T changed a bit.... It's seems to bother me not so much as a few days ago. So I hope the next few days it...

Started this Morning with clomipramine to fix my ocd. Maybe if the ocd is fixen and the anxiety is gone; my t will also calm down.

Started to tapper the lormetazepam and lorazepam. Bit more stressed but guess that it are just withdrawal symptoms. Doing it very slowly to avoid major setbacks.

Bad tinnitus today. Didn't sleep well because I didn't take my sleeping pill. So got rebound insomnia. But had a good reasons for skipping it. Became dad for the 2nd time :). So happy News and found out that I nees to tapper off of these pills :)

So... working in almost complete silence for about a hout now.. Do hear my T.. But no panic... Success!

When I have a bad I'm just thinking well... used this bad day, use it to train yourself in accepting bad days. My day isn't that great today. Having some none T related intrusive thoughts.. Not fighting against the, just learing to live with them so that they will go away..

To be honest I don't remember the exact result, however the ENT told my hearing was near perfect. Almost no damage. Hence that's why stress seems to be the main reason for my T. According to her she had more patients with perfect hearing that got T during a stressful period; seems to be the...

@uae96 @ Xbox One

Fifa xx, Football Manager xxxx, FSX, Cities skylines :)

AFC Ajax and West Ham :cool:

Effexor made my tinnitus a bit louder. Mirtazapine didn't affect my tinnitus, and reduced my anxiety a bit.

@Chris Alexander I was diagnosed with a anxiety disorder, however my new care taker thinks it's more drive by stress. So life stress can result in my case in anxiety. This is the third time I have "such" an attack. One with marriage and buying a new home whilst the economic crisis kicks in, 2nd...

Well, from what I understood there aren't many positions over here and a lot of pilots are jobless... So over here it doesn't seem to be worthwhile... especially if you already have a good job which you enjoy. Luckily enough there is Flight Sim :).

Pilot :). Luckily enough I like my current job, becoming a pilot means a expensive career switch :D.

I agree that it is a big problem, however we can't blame the doctors. They can't fix everything, and I started to accept that fact. My hearing is perfect, hence the best reason for my T seems to be stress. However I went to parties with very loud music, and yes they warned me regarding damaged...

It's hard I know, I sometimes think that I should end it all... But than quickly think "99,9% gets used to it, and I won't be the 0,1 that can't handle it. There are meds to help you in the process, so I made the decision (far too late...) to use them and start recovery. Praying for you, good...

Hehe gelukkig niet de enige Nederlander hier dus.. Opzich wel logisch want sinds ik T heb hoor ik veel meer mensen met T om me heen.. Back 2 English, tonight I had a hard time to fall a sleep. The T was loud, but for some reason I wasn't really afraid of it anymore.. I just wasn't able to...

Hmmm made some typo's :). No edit function? :)
