Hi @Ozzy, Truly inspiring story. I as read through it I found many common points with my own and gives me hope to recover to the level you seem to have. I'm also an Engineer (electronics) and recently turned 40. My noise was also triggered by a peak stress period (although I have mild hearing...

What do you mean by relief. 0/10?

Hi @Lisa88 do you verbalize the sentences?

I'm pretty sure they work in parallel and not in series.

I cannot being to imagine how people who were in the trial and got good/some results feel... Truth is that due to the diverse etiologies of Tinnitus it is very difficult for a drug to get enough statistical evidence to progress further in trials. It is as if a tailored approach for every...

I heard back from the hospital. I take the liberty to copy here the e-mail verbatim as it was sent to me: Dear David Unfortunately it is not just at Addenbrookes that the whole trial is being stopped. I became aware of the information as Autifony contacted us last week and all other sites are...

I've written asking for clarification so the e-mail is already on the person's inbox. Hopefully tomorrow morning I'll get an answer.

I didn't get any call from Autifony. I got a call from the same person who recruited me at the hospital. People with whom I've exchanged dozens of e-mails and met personally. I sincerely hope this is a monster cock up from someone (including me) but the call was very real. The same way it's...

They said the study was being stopped because researchers found the drug wasn't working when analyzing the available data. Nothing in the conversation indicated this was a site-specific decision but I could (and indeed hope) be wrong.

Yes I'll e-mail them tomorrow to ask if/when official information is to be released.

Hi all, I bring very bad news unfortunately. I got a call on Friday from the hospital where I was scheduled for the eligibility test in early November, saying that the QUIET-1 trial is stopping. I was told the researchers started analyzing the results and found no evidence the drug is working...

And go to that party!

@Christian78 what was the cause of your T?

Tks @LadyDi it's really all about taking active steps instead of sitting on a chair and ruminating all day. Although in the beginning it's kinda hard to not think "why did my number had to come up on that day?!".

@Danny Boy Not sure what's the point since it's completely subjective. I'm still working which is good. On the other hand I avoid loud places like the plague so social life has vanished. Exercising like crazy (which is good) so I'm knackered when I reach the bed but still having a lot of...

tks @Dr. Nagler and @Danny Boy for the comments. I can concentrate it's just mind draining/exhausing with this freaking noise drilling in my head. I know it's all about acceptance, that I should stay calm, avoid distorted thoughts, crack some jokes at lunch time with the team (just be the same...

Hi all, My T started 6 weeks ago. I'm not here to tell you how bad it has been (that's in the introduce Yourself section) but I do consider it intrusive. It's not masked when driving in the car or by any office/street normal background noises, nor by TV/radio/nature sounds. I'm pretty sure...

Tks @Karen. Didn't mean to have you analyse your T in detail (when the goal is to forget about about it). It's my engineering part of the brain...(what's left of it anyway). This last month has been beyond hell. Turning 40 next weekend (talk about birthday present), kids, work, could really do...

Tks @Karen and @Atlantis. I'm seeing a local neuro surgeon (he specializes in image techniques and vascular issues) so he can refer me to some exams (MRI/A/V etc.). It's difficult to find a neurologist or neurotologist that specializes (or indeed knows about PT). My feeling is that it's more...

Hi all, My T started 5 weeks ago. Can't really attribute it to anything in particular. I just layed on the bed to sleep and noticed it immediately. I have the typical constant single tone ring that is amplified when in silence, but on top of that I have (and this is what is really excruciating)...

Hi, Does anyone know about any clinics in London that do LLLT targeted at hearing loss/tinnitus (similar to Anne Harilla or Dr. Wilden?). I would like to try a few sessions but avoid the travelling if possible.

Hi billie, Just found your story and it was truly inspiring. Tks for posting the details of your journey and all the practical bits of advice. For me it's been a light in the darkness since this is all started. I just hope to have the same mental strength to turn things around and some day...

Tks @billie48 right now it's exactly as you describe: Ears of glass. One one hand I think it's fear of damaging the ears more. But the fact is that if I go to a pub or somewhere mildy loud, when I come out my T is much worse. Then it slowly calms down to the baseline (which is pretty horrid...

@undecided tks. I've been reading about pulsatile T as well and plan to do that. I have a tendency for varicose veins (family genetics) so it would be important to rule that out. Apparently there's a whole host of exams you can do. The problem is finding an ENT that really understands the issue...

Tks all for the support messages. I'm really glad I found this forum. Reading through it is better than anti-depressants! I really wanted to get rid of the benzos for sleeping for a start. Because I exercise every day I'm so knackered that I think I could drift away without them. The problem is...

Hi all, My Tinnitus started a month ago completely out of the blue. As I recall it, I lay down to sleep and noticed a much increased "level of silence". I asked my wife "do you hear anything in silence?". She gave me the puzzled face. That was the beginning of the nightmare. There's probably...
