Not the easiest thing for a T patient in pretty bad state to board a plane and travel across the world. Finland to UK isn´t across the world but still.
Can Someone Clarify This: What's The Difference Between Fleeting, Reactive, and Spiking Tinnitus?

MemberIf you are not being wise-guy, then you are being naive ;D
Yes, I could fly to London for TRT. Yes, I have the resources to do so including the knowledge that there is such a treatment as TRT but there is many people who don't.
And tbh, personally I wouldn't recommend to general population leaving for another country to get some TRT in a language which isn't native to them. This of course varies from country to country. Atleast in finland, english among general population isn't too strong...
And back to topic, understanding the term "reactive tinnitus" is already some sort of TRT for me as I stated earlier
I may be many things, @Zechariah. Determined, focused, analytical, passionate, committed, and caring immediately come to mind. So, yes, I may be many things. But naive is not one of them.
TRT is a option. If the concept appeals to you, then you can make it happen for yourself no matter where you live. If the concept does not appeal to you, then that's certainly fine with me. No one needs to hang labels like "naive" on folks just because they see things differently than you do!

Hey all: Thread is: fleeting, reactive and spiking tinnitus. And thanks in advance for following the netiquette.
Good point. I introduced TRT to the thread only by way of explaining why to my way of thinking "reactive" tinnitus is a poor term. Thanks for bringing it back on track.
Dr. Stephen Nagler
Excellent question. Please start another thread to discuss it. (See post directly above this one for an explanation.)
Dr. Stephen Nagler
Well I wasn't exactly serious on labeling you naive, that's why I throw there a smiley. I thought it would be a funny little poke after you talking about not being a smart guy
Small amounts of sarcasm or irony are sometimes hard to express in written text - atleast for me. Sorry I offended you.
But I was serious about most of ppl being unable to get treatments abroad.
@Zechariah
Totally agree with you about going abroad. Money isn´t the biggest problem here. Imagine a battered T-patient with a good portion of H and filled with anxiety going to a foreign countrys capital like London. I think i would have been more likely to end up in a emergency room than reaching to the TRT counselor

Speaking for myself, I've seen patients in my clinic from as far away as South Africa, Hong Kong, the Middle East, The Netherlands, and Hawaii. These folks don't travel so far because tinnitus is their hobby. They travel so far because they're miserable. They are, indeed, battered and filled with anxiety. Moreover, my colleagues in the field have all had similar experiences. The takeaway here is that where there's a will there's a way.
But more on topic, my own tinnitus is absolutely screaming this morning. I had Thai food last night, and my tinnitus has reacted to it. So I guess I have reactive tinnitus?
Dr. Stephen Nagler
When I go to work in the morning and I stand next to the train, the sound of the incoming train does not bug me at all nevertheless the fact that is loud, but when same happens after work I react to it and my T spikes and screams and fades away when train goes away. I guess that is reactive T, but I wonder why it reacts only later in the day, not in the morning?
