A noise-induced tinnitus is certainly a sign of a damage to the auditory nerve ending parts in cochlea, inner ear. Apparently, nothing can be done to reverse the damage. That's how a life turns upside down in a fraction of a second for absolutely nothing. So, instruct your loved ones to...

How on earth is that possible to hear loud several different noises inside your damned head and suffer from hyperacusis at the same time and be happy and go with the flow of the hellish hustle and bustle of urban life and be able to push ahead in every aspect of life (education, job , marriage...

I'm already in hell.

If still sane, We need to dream on....

Tinnitus-related anxiety and sleep deprivation will make me go crazier if I decide to taper Xanax off of my system. What could serve as a less malicious replacement? Nothing, right?

Stem cells treatment in Bangkok !? I always thought that sort of treatment, if any at all, might be available in Germany. :unsure:

I take Xanax at bedtime only to go to sleep. After 5 years of use, misuse and abuse of Xanax, I can tell for sure Benzos just slow down the normal nervous system activities even to the degree that sometimes I think it has contributed to my absent-mindedness and dullness. However, What the hell...

Hi David! Why Lorazepam and not other Benzos? Any experience with others to share? Thanks,

Considering life being too short, to me, Tinnitus has appeared to be too extremely complicated to be cured. I hate to say that I have to live with it. I hope yours is not badly severe....

What should we do if we hate these different masking noises as much or more than our tinnitus noises themselves !!!!!!!!!!!?????????? Seems no silence and serene life forever.

Mine is horrible too. So, don't feel you're the only one inflicted. When my T turns into an out and out torture, I avoid eating and drinking like I'm healthy and can eat and drink everything. For 24 or 48 hours I go on a fast and eat only dates and drink pure water. Sometimes, this helps me turn...

Hi, Please, you keep us posted on effectiveness and God forbid, side effects.

I'm happy for you. Neither Tinnituses nor Tinnitus Sufferers' conditions are all the same. How can I decide to accept it for good and not agonize when my Tinnitus goes up by sounds, foods, drugs, hunger, thirst, stresses even thoughts on hourly basis. I'm not able to take a nap or go to sleep at...

Good luck!

Markku! It's really hard to relate to others. Does TRT take just time and effort? There's no TRT in Iran. Secondly, if there were any specialized places for that, who would cover the expenses of such a long and costly so-called tinnitus treatment? As for antidepressants, I had gone through such...

Simply, you guys don't understand my case. There's no habituation to such a torture as 24/7/12/ever loud ringing and screeching inside your head. You'd better think of tinnitus out of the box of it's euphemistic definition. I've suffered more than 12 years and in first some years I could manage...

I just have a cynical view of human nature. Nothing more. You feel fine maybe your tinnitus is trivial, maybe your tinnitus does not impede you in every aspect of life, maybe you're so well-off that you don't have to bother to think about how to make ends meet, maybe in your country you don't...

Unless your tinnitus is trivial, you cannot ignore it.

I KNOW IT'S CALLED TINNITUS RETRAINING THERAPY. But, I'm absolutely dead sure, if your Tinnitus is of a very terrible kind, TRT will take you more blood, sweat and tears than the Tinnitus itself. TRT is a treatment which may give you some relief after you have invested a lot of time, energy...

Why didn't you ask from that so-called expert how experienced he/she is in coping with Tinnitus in that way? Your brain is already trained to ignore such sounds as nearby road and traffic. BUT, Tinnitus is NOT a train or traffic noise coming from a distance that your mind can find it quite...

I feel so sorry for you. Your Tinnitus has befallen you right out of blue sky. Yeah, some people are cruel. Avoid them for good. Just hang in there and keep your chin up. You're not alone. I've been suffering for 12 years and 3 months. Don't get scared. Mine was caused by loud noise of gunshots...

A tiny variable can sometimes have huge consequences.

Yes Paul, I cannot live in a noisy, overcrowded and hectic city like Tehran, let alone work and prosper. I described why above. My only capital for having a decent life was my health which was taken away. And now, broke and nervous wrecked, I just try to keep up appearances as I hate to look...

I wish I had the chance of working in a quiet environment like some of you. I can't work with people or in noisy places. Talking and trying to listen to people, on the whole workplace and traffic noises make me anxious and anxiety leads to worsening of T. For more than 5 years I haven't been...

Yes Karen. I'm sorry too. My T is horrible. Suffices it to say that horribly loud noise of gunshots extremely close to my unprotected left ear caused this long lasting torture just in a fraction of a second. First 3 years I didn't go for any remedies as everybody who I talked about it with told...

Thanks Markoana and karen! I think I'm pretty strong that I'm still alive and sane tolerating this loud screeching, ringing and hissing. But my T has gone out of control for almost 5 years. Not only has it intensified but fluctuates hourly. It's been keeping me jobless because I can't be sure...

I wish you could tell us what type of Tinnitus specifically that salvaged friend had. Could you please get some info about his Tinnitus. Info as whether it was noise- induced, drug-induced, high-pitched or low-pitched, suddenly inflicted or incurred over an extensive period and questions like...

Thank you, Karen for sharing that experience. But I always wanted to know how an extremely deep unconsciousness would affect Tinnitus. Shouldn't general anesthesia feel like a very deep sleep and and unconsciousness? Maybe I'm wrong about understanding this term. Please, if someone has had or...

I'll fight it off to death. :banghead:

I always warn such people and receive a grin in return.

A blank cartridge. Now, it's up to you to find out what I meant.

Allergies surely play assistants to the devil of tinnitus in torturing the victims.

In this dog-eat-dog world how can miserable T sufferers can shell out $ 18 k for an unguaranteed treatment !? Even if it were guaranteed %100, I would have to sell off my life to go after such a treatment.

I have a horrible tinnitus. Refraining from eating and drinking aggravators just helps reduce it to the state of being terrible, not a great motivation for me to watch out what I eat or drink.

I learned life is just like a blank....

To me it happened in a fraction of a second. Actually it turned my life upside down. What can I do now? Save, grin and bear it...

1.) What ear(s) is your T in? left 2.) Would you describe the sound as coming from the ear or do you find it is coming from inside your head (and where in the head- middle, side, back. etc.)? coming from the ear and left side of the head 3.) Is there oonly one sound, or multiple sounds? Are...

With no serenity life is ruined. 12 years ago when I was inflicted by this excruciating torture, I did never think that i had ruined all different aspects of my life for good. Now, 31 yr old, no quality sleep, no peace, no napping during day, no socializing with others as there's lots of noise...

Try to keep your allergies of any kind in check and you'll see a 50%-90% reduction in volume, but that's unfortunately not as easy as ABC and you'll need to change life style for sure. Don't worry! there are so many people on board this boat.

My T gets worse by eating and drinking almost anything except water and veggies. My life is tasteless enough even with yummy foods and spices let alone without them. I suppose I have food allergies and I'm dead sure these allergies affect my T terribly. So, I'd better live on water and veggies...

I didn't buy that book. I manage to get my hands on it on the internet. I knew such books wouldn't help me out of this torture.

I've studied this book thoroughly. who can do all that stuff !? 90% of the sufferers have inflicted damage on their ears' cochlea which is irreversible. I damaged my left ear within a fraction of a second by exposing my left ear to the horrible sound of a gunshot and know that my T has nothing...

Being 31 and suffering for 12 long years, I don't remember my serene days....
