Thank you for post. Myself, like you, find Julian Cowen's you tube posts to be very calming and hopeful. I've started a yoga regime and will be taking a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program soon. Will give the clean gut diet a go -- thanks for that information. I've found two apps that...

Thank you so much for your post. As I was reading it, I saw so much of myself and my experience with T. I've had T for about 3 years now and like so many for the first months was devastated by it to the point where I could barely function. The only relief I somewhat found when it initially...

Thank you for your story. I've had tinnitus for 3 years now and during the last 12 months have had many more good days than bad. It never totally goes away but the times when I only hear it distantly are starting to increase. By your description it sounds like we hear the same type of sounds...

I've been there. You have days when you think I can hear it but I'm doing OK, and then that night or the next day all you can hear is the T and the anxiety builds.. Know that it will go down again, take some deep breaths, drink cold water, cry if you need to, yell if you need to. It will and...

Thanks for your comments regarding TRT. I've had tinnitus for about 3 years now and finally made the call to have an appointment with one of two TRT trained professionals in western Canada. It took about 6 months to get an appointment and I'm hopeful that with one-on-one coaching I'll make...

Dear Mario, Thank you for spreading some positivity. There is always hope for those who still live tinnitus in it's intrusive state. I've had it 2 1/2 years and when it first 'hit', well...let's just say it was a dark place. I haven't habituated yet but the sound has adjusted from a high...

Thanks so much for those words of encouragement. Next year I will put the insurance back on....our riding season is almost done now. For the first while it was tough to ride - it was tough just to travel in a car. Truly appreciate your response!

Thank you for your post. I have just recently sent information to a Tinnitus Retraining Therapy clinic and hope that I can get in. I have been doing reading of well regarded books about tinnitus and trying to implement the suggestions but finding it difficult on my own. Glad to hear that TRT...

Thank you for your post. I've had intrusive T for about 2 years now and it's good to read that there are true success stories out there. Initially I was like so many people -- being a strong person, the anxiety and stress that accompanied the T at first had me very much overwhelmed. I'm doing...

Thanks for your post. I've had intrusive tinnitus for about 2 years now and must admit it took me just over a year to get to a stable state of mind. I could deal with the stress of a high pressure job but those were all external factors over which I felt control. The T threw me, with feelings...

Thanks for the post. I've had tinnitus for about 2 years now and am slowly becoming less anxious and disturbed by it. Your encouraging words do help and reinforce what to do and not do. I ride a motorbike as well but didn't insure it this year because when I wear earplugs the tinnitus becomes...

Dear Dr. Ancill I had asked Dr. Nagler a few questions which he kindly answered about a month ago. I wanted to follow-up with him to clarify a few things but I note he is not taking questions at this time. I then saw your name now on the Doctor's list. Good to see a professional from BC as...

I'm glad that the T is no longer your constant 'companion'. All my reading, from reputable books/articles, says that if the T has been present for less than 6 months, in all likelihood it was only temporary and won't return. So that's good news for you indeed.

Hi, I have T and had it when I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled at the same time earlier this year. I had them pulled on the recommendation of my dentist. I went to another dentist that specializes in extractions and he gave me 2 little pills. One put me out so that I don't remember a...

Thank you for your positive post. I have had T for two years now and found your words encouraging. My T has gone down since I first experienced it ....it had a significant negative impact at first -- I guess a nervous breakdown could be called that :) But it has gotten better. It is still...

Hi Chris, Thanks for posting such a positive and hopeful note. Having T for the last 2 years I couldn't agree more with your points. I visited a good website early on from the Victoria (Australia) Tinnitus Association. And when I get a little down or don't feel like doing what I used to I...

Hello Dr. Hubbard, Could you expand on self-CBT? Where would I begin to find information that is reliable? If I were to see a therapist skilled in CBT but not tinnitus, would that be an avenue to explore? Also, I am contemplating TRT and am aware of two individuals who are properly trained...

Thank you so much for the positive post. It is truly helpful to know that I can get to a place where the T is only an annoyance and not upsetting or intrusive. Your story has helped me to keep positive; to know that it is possible.

Dear Dr. Nagler: You noted in one post the following in regards to obstacles to habituation: If identifying and directly addressing your external barriers to habituation does not get you where you need to go, then in my opinion you should seriously consider indirectly addressing your internal...

Hello Dr. Nagler, Firstly, let me thank you for sharing your expertise in an open environment. I have two questions and I'll try and be brief: I have had tinnitus for approximately two years along with hearing loss. Question 1: Upon the onset of the tinnitus to which I had a significant...

Hi, I think you would a good idea for you to go to see an audiologist to have a hearing test. Make sure you see a registered audiologist and find out if they have experience with tinnitus prior to going, that would be best. There's no reason from my tinnitus that can be determined. I...

Having experienced tinnitus for about 2 years, and not having a support mechanism in our small town, I am joining in the hopes of 'speaking' with others as to what they have found successful. I've tried other sites but found too much negativity. I'm hoping that this sight will be more...

New to this site and am hoping to find positive comments that will be inspirational, educational and informative.
