Habituation is giving up, no way around it. I honestly hate the comcept and have less respect overall for people who think that's ultimately the best method for tinnitus. Reducing the volume is always the most important.
there was nowhere in my post that i stated that habituation is the best method for dealing with it!
i stated that i have habituated. far from giving up.
but given the options, i choose to see this as a positive..

I didn't say you did, I'm just outlining my position on it. Most people here aren't like that but I have very little respect for the ones that are. If there existed people that actively protested finding a cure for tinnitus, I would see them as better than the people who think habituation is best. Shoot a traitor before an enemy I suppose
I choose to call it giving up, because that's what it is. I hate to use semantics to make something sound better than what it is, im too laconic for that.
See? Makes a lot more sense, not sugar coating anything, and describes it perfectly. When people think habituation they think it's something that it's not.
In my years of experience, what I've learned is that the worst person you can lie to is yourself. Don't tell yourself that habituation is anything more than giving up. That's all it is.
im not lying to myself.
habituation has given me my life back.
we can just agree to disagree on this one...

Sure. Tell me when you realize that I'm right. It takes time for people to to realize things sometimes and I hate pushing people because it's so annoying. Have a nice time on the site.

I think habituation means just about coping in our own way and getting on with life.
Spikes will come to give us a wobble and let us know our ears can still give us greaf but as we go through spikes and our own Tinnitus journey it can push us to the limit but finding things that help us and being kind to our self helps us get stronger.
My tinnitus will never go due to Menieres and my hearing get worse but my ears have a fight on their hands and my lungs !
Habituation really means learning to cope and not let it rule your life in my view.

I still don't see a difference with it and giving up. Might as well call it what it is in my opinion. The problem I have is it's repackaging doing nothing as a "treatment". Notice how it came from the studies that TRT is based on. Surely they're not trying to repackage something so we pay them for something that happens naturally :^)

I think habituation means different things for us all.
Tinnitus Talk is world wide and it varies in what help is available around the world to help us cope a bit better.
Hope for a treatment one day but as tinnitus has lots of sub categories it won't be one fix for all.

This negative mindset doesn't help at all. If you suffer from tinnitus, it is best to accept what is going on and try to find a solution, that will help you live with the tinnitus. Life still has many opportunities, tinnitus does not stop that.
If others are coping with their tinnitus/situation, don't disrespect them either.....

No giving up is worse because you stop trying to actually do anything, and dragging the whole community away from a cure (what some people do here) is much worse. This "negative mindset", is the best way forward. One day you will realize that; guaranteed.
Edit: sorry, accidentally quoted glynis.

I been at this game for almost 30 years, your points are not valid at all. Go look up what "giving up " means. Your mindset is negative, I am sorry that you feel this way. If a cure comes along ..great, but if it doesn't that's fine too.
It's all about adapting and moving forward. It's hard, but it can be done....
There's wisdom in pessimism. How old are you? At least over 30 for sure. I'm only 20 and I seem to know better. If you want to give up, fine, but don't drag the community away from a cure.

>he's young so he can't know what he's talking about
Flawless logic. My mindset at least allows me to be accurate. A "positive" (giving up) mindset is much worse for getting anywhere.
Edit: he edited his comment. That's fine.
What? That's not true at all. People have, and I've talked to them. Check the support page I JUST told someone a way they could get rid of their T. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they're a troll.
