My Tinnitus Has Changed in the Past 3 Days

[Portia Green]

So my T has changed in the past 3 days...last night I didn't get any sleep...I'm so tired of being paranoid about my T...I'm frustrated because I have normal hearing but still have T...I been crying all morning!!

how has it changed? louder? or the sound is a little different? sometimes mine gets a little different but it reverts back . as for loudness maybe it's just a spike? Hope it calms down soon.

Hi Portia,

Tinnitus will not kill you. Once your mind acclimates itself to the noise, it will dismiss it as benign. It will take some time, but having a 1:1 session with yourself in the mirror is also a good idea.

However, not getting enough sleep is detrimental to your health. I am currently battling middle-of-the-night insomnia myself. It is not fun at all!!

Yes it has calmed down but I don't know what I did to cause it to spike...I had so many panic attacks last night...Idk if I can live like this

You will be okay... learning to live with tinnitus is a gradual acceptance process; your brain will ultimately get used to it and keep it as background noise and it will almost seem "normal" to you. In all honesty, it took me a good 4-6 months to get there, but I did. And so can you.

You have to get some medication for sleep. When I had T, my ENT prescribed me Xanax-XR for two weeks, and it did help, not only with the sleep but also my anxiety and depression.

So Rick you don't have T anymore??

Hi Portia,

My T completely disappeared in mid March this year after nearly 6 months. You can read my success story in that section.
