Doesn't current research indicate that the homogenised white noise used in TRT is detrimental to the brain? Maybe there needs to be support and compassion for those who have had it multiple times totalling something like 4-5+years? It may not be their fault they are brainwashed with such a cult-like pseudo scientific mentality.

Also I wonder about subliminal pro habituation, pro Jastreboofhead and co messages potentially planted in the in ear white noise generators.
 
To readers of thread that might be thinking about trying white noise generators. Please be advised, they should be used under the guidance and care of a Hearing Therapist or Audiologist that specialises in tinnitus and hyperacusis treatment. I have been using them for 23 years and had no problems.

I have had TRT twice and used white noise generators on both occasions. Each treatment lasted 2 years. totalling 4 years using white noise generators without any problems. In fact, WNG completely cured my severe hyperacusis and has remained so for 20 years. I still use white noise generators regularly with no adverse reactions. Anyone that has problems using white noise generators is not using them correctly. Their volume must be set below the tinnitus and not mask it. If white noise generators are not used correctly then problems can result.

I'm making a PDF to show evidence Sparkhealthmedia is directly frauding consumers based on comments from Amazon, ContraHealthScam's website and SanDiegoConsumer protection's website.

Positivity And Tinnitus


For some people prolonged intrusive tinnitus can be very stressful and at times debilitating. This can sometimes lead to depression and a person may need to go on a course of antidepressants. I have often been asked in tinnitus forums and via email "It is great if you're able to be positive, but simply telling someone to be more positive about tinnitus isn't going to change anything". I want to clarify here and now, that isn't what I mean.

Thinking more positive about tinnitus and bringing positivity into your life takes time it isn't achieved overnight or by simply thinking to yourself "I must be positive about my life".

If a person wants to improve the quality of their life they have to be prepared to try and help themselves, because there is no wonder drug or operation that can cure tinnitus at this time. Unless a person faces these facts they will forever be trawling the Internet going from forum to forum complaining why there is no treatment for tinnitus when actually many of these people want a complete cure.

I once read a newspaper article that mentioned: nineteen out of twenty medical conditions cannot be cured. Someone once told me "I don't want to be positive about tinnitus, I hate it. Being positive wont make it go away". This is true, however, thinking more positive and bringing positivity into your life will reduce the perception on how you relate to tinnitus. CBT and TRT are based on having a positive attitude, without that these treatments aren't effective.

Long before CBT, TRT and the Internet came on the scene Doctors have been telling tinnitus patients, there's no cure you'll have to learn to live with it. Most of us know this is easier said than done.
So how does one start to think more positive about their tinnitus and to bring positivity into their life?

The fact that someone with tinnitus is reading this page suggests to me their tinnitus for today at least isn't so intrusive that they are unable to function, for that I'm pleased because this is something positive, instead of lying in bed on medication doing nothing. If you are able to work that's even better as your tinnitus isn't so severe you're incapacitated. I see this as something positive in a person's life. Being able to earn a living and support yourself. Therefore, you're able to do all the daily tasks one needs to survive in this world. You may have some difficulty granted, but you're still achieving and that's progress.

It is still better than someone that is visually impaired or severely disabled and unable to earn a living. Or, people with severe tinnitus that are depressed and on medication and unable to work. So by looking at our own circumstances and seeing what we're able to do and achieve we can think more positively about ourselves. There is nothing more satisfying than being independent and I suggest you hold onto those thoughts.

If you live by yourself consider getting a cat or a dog so your home environment won't feel so lonely. If you have a partner and family think about spending some quality time with them, as this can help reinforce your sense of belonging, and the love that binds you together, then your T won't make you feel so isolated. Sometimes opening up sharing your thoughts and how you feel can help immensely and keep negativity at bay.

I have just given a synopsis of what I believe can help a person's quality of life improve with positive thinking. It doesn't happen overnight but a lot can be achieved when one is prepared to try. By moving forwards and taking one day at a time you can occasionally look back and see how far you have come.

I mean...you were quite sarcastic with your FX remark ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

yea. Obviously and transparently. You might say it was a shitpost in a thread made for shitposting--so the pearl-clutching neurotic response kind of rules! The half-serious point I was making (if I can even remember what that is now lool) was just to goof on the notion that working on one's anxieties and neurosis (to say this doesn't have a connection to one's reaction to tinnitus is silly) is somehow to the detriment of hearing regeneration research.
 
I swear to christ some of you people would be sincerely outraged if I suggested that childhood leukemia is worse than tinnitus.

Tinnitus sucks. But I'm trying to focus on the positive (or at least actionable) aspects folks :troll:!!
