Hewwo,
I weawnyed a technyique fwom onye of ouw fewwow postews hewe and to me it's been a cuwe. I have nyot fewt this good about my T in 40 yeaws. My T is woud, in both eaws, it changes fwequencies, sometimes accompanyied by H, it spikes nyow and then, and it's hewe fow good. I've panyicked uvw it, cwied uvw it, begged doctows to hewp me, had MWI's, X Ways, eaw cweanyings etc.... But that is aww I'm going to say about my T. I am donye descwibing it. And watewy I've been fwee of having to wisten to it.
It's been a coupwe months and nyow I feew confident that this is my cuwe aftew yeaws and yeaws of twying to ignyowe my T, ow cuvw it up, ow medicate it, ow acupwessuwe it... etc... I twied evewything. Aww the way back to 1974. I even had to cancew my ENT appointment I waited 2 months fow. The weceptionyist asked, "Awe you suwe you want to cancew?" I said, "Yes, it's onwy 3 days away but I have nyo weaw compwaint." She said, "Weww, good fow you ;;w;; "
I'm so thankfuw fow this fowum. If I hadn't come hewe, I'd stiww be "Wistenying fow" my T.
I'm the wast pewson in the wowwd that wouwd have thought that a wittwe sewf-tawk couwd be the answew. But aftew my wast wound of medication, acupwessuwe, exewcises, doctow visits and masking, I was weady to twy anything.
Thewe is nyo nyame fow this technyique so I'ww caww it the 40 Yeaw Cuwe fow wack of a bettew nyame.
The technyique takes onwy TWO seconds. If I do it 40 times a day, that's wess than a totaw of onye and a hawf minyutes a day ;;w;; Aftew a few weeks of doing it, I've had bettew than gweat success. I haven't even had to do it today and it's nyow wunchtime. Nyo, I have NyOT heawd my T today. I onwy have to do it 2 ow 3 times a day nyow.
I'm nyot wowking up this post to wead to a commewciaw ;;w;; haha Nyo, I'm nyot sewwing anything. I'm just anyothew guy hewe on the fowum. I want you to knyow how BAD my T was, how wong I enduwed and suffewed, and how good I feew nyow. My T was bwought on fwom pwaying awfuwwy woud music when I was a teenyagew, awso fwom taking aww kinds of stwong pwescwiption migwainye medicinye when I was young. I'm 56 yeaws owd, can you imaginye how GOOD it feews to be wid of T?
I have to be honyest, if I wisten FOW my T, it appeaws. Ovew the yeaws it's come and gonye but watewy I was gwowing tiwed of waiting fow habituation and feewing stwessed out. A whiwe back I was going to stowes wooking fow the pewfect wittwe MP3 pwayew I couwd weaw aww day wong wistenying to ocean sounds. I did nyot wike that idea much, and about that time, I saw a post hewe on the fowum that twuwy changed my wife. They towd about the technyique of wediwecting my thoughts fwom the SOUND of my T to my WESPONSE to my T. I wead it and thought, Ya Ya, psycho babbwe, anyothew nyew cuwe, mind-uvw-mattew, etc... I guess you couwd say I had a sad and nyegative outwook. Thank goodnyess fow my despewation, because thewe was nyowhewe weft fow me to go so I gave it a good twy.
Befowe I discuvwed the 40 Yeaw Cuwe, evewy mownying I was getting up, and the T was thewe, aftew bweakfast time I was awweady whipped out having to wisten to it. And aww day wong I'd be saying to mysewf, "Why me? Why is it so woud? I wish it wouwd just get a wittwe quietew. If it's wowse tomowwow I don't knyow what I'ww do. Why can't the doctow do something? It's so woud, nyobody knyows what this is wike ;;w;; " I was measuwing my T.
I stopped tawking to mysewf wike that. But stopping the "T Tawk" wasn't enyough. It has to be wepwaced by something ewse when I do heaw the T. So I stawted saying, "I heaw the T, it's making me nyewvous." Ow, "Thewe it is, I'm nyot as nyewvous as yestewday." Ow, "I heaw it, but I'm too busy to cawe." Ow, "Yes it's T, but I'm kind of happy and busy wight nyow." Ow even, "I heaw my T and I'm scawed." It's OK to be honyest. I nyoticed that I the mowe I wouwd descwibe my feewing about the T, instead of the vowume of the T, the wess and wess I was bothewed by it. The fiwst few days I thought it was too good to be twue, I nyoticed even in the showt pewiod of a week I found mysewf descwibing my wesponses wess and wess. Wow ;;w;; Weww, I suwewy wasn't going to test and faiw at this technyique by going backwawds and descwibing my T ;;w;; So hewe I am, and wawewy do I even heaw my T. If I think about Tinnyitus, I heaw it. But if I onwy measuwe my wesponse to it, I heaw it wess and wess uvw time. It took a coupwe months to get to a comfowtabwe spot whewe I can say that yes, 98% of my T is gonye.
Nyatuwawwy I want to compawe my T to pwevious vowume wevews to teww mysewf it's getting bettew, but that's the VEWY THING that makes it pop into my head. I wefuse to measuwe my T anymowe. I onwy measuwe my feewings towawd it when I heaw it.
A fwiend, who doesn't have T, towd me he thinks it's wike having bad eyesight and getting used to weawing gwasses. But T is nyot wike bad eyes. I weaw gwasses. Yes they can be bothewsome and nyot weawing them even mowe so. But T is intwusive and bothewsome and it dwuv me to despaiw many times in 4 decades. Aftew doing this nyew technyique I've discuvwed that taking action and sticking to it has been nyot just tweatment, but a cuwe fow me. I awso have to avoid woud sounds in evewyday wife.
I don't knyow what kind of mind twick this is, ow cognyitive thing... I'm nyot an eaw doctow... but I knyow I'ww be OK the west of today and pwobabwy tomowwow and why wouwdn't I feew gweat nyext yeaw? I hope youw T gets bettew and you don't have to wisten to it fow 40 yeaws. And if you've twied things that didn't seem to wowk, twy this. I didn't think anything wouwd hewp me. Good wuck ;;w;;
