Oh it was an update at the end...
I know he was taking a lot of Trobalt for a long time... He must have had the pill boxes around, weird they never mentioned it.

He may just need a break from tinnitus forums to clear his head. Or he got some advice from his family or a counselor. Also it was the holidays.

Hi Dave,
Just a little tip for you, if you want to tag someone in your post just use @ and 3-4 letter of user name and you will get a list of names so you can select the full name, typing example @val will give you few options.
Also if you want to reply to someone's post you can use "quote" option listed at the end of every post.
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

I had exactly the same thought yesterday and checked to see when he last logged on. Already 17 days.
He may be just taking a rest from the forum, like has been mentioned, but until he logs back in we won't know for sure.
I sure as hell hope I don't read about him in the newspapers.
He did admit to several suicide attempts not that long ago.
But he also did mention, that he is kind of trapped into staying alive because of his kids.
Either way he is faced with a horrible situation, which no human being in this day and age should be faced with.
Personally, I think he is still alive.
Tinnitus calmed down during a bath. Someone said that before. They're right.
But, it went back to the insanely loud multiple tones and that's why I am up now and not sleeping like I want to.
This volume and the multiple tones at the high pitch is why I want my life over. I don't want to wait. There's no cure or treatment to reduce the volume or change it to mild tinnitus so I don't want to exist then.

At least that's something...
Would you say it's got to do with lower stress or rather something physiological? I'm asking because with a bit of trial and error from your part you might extend this partial relief beyond the bathtub if you find the reason why it has happened.
Have you tried any anti-anxiety meds like Lorazepam or any muscle relaxants?
Lenire might be able to reduce the volume. Have you joined the waiting list? They are opening their clinic up to five days a week so you may be able to score an appointment.
If this helps, when I'm on Lorazepam I feel a little little better about tinnitus. It keeps ringing the same, awful, but I feel more relaxed with Lorazepam and tinnitus don't bother me as much.
Maybe it bothers me 7/8 when I'm on it, and 10/11 when I'm sober...
Anyway, it's a little little relieve. Nothing remarkable or a worth reason for start taking this medication.
I don't know If this is only because Lorazepam have a "depressor" effect in my brain (like alcohol), or because the muscle relaxant effect... or just because it reduces my "anxiety" and despair... I don't feel sure about that.
Sorry for my broken English, again.

Thanks for the input. I'm not trying to push this on anyone as I'm not familiar with it myself. It was given on one occasion to a guy that was into the same group when I did some sessions in a hyperbaric tank. His claustrophoby made him anxious. I guess taking it once or a couple of times can reveal how much of your suffering comes from anxiety. Then maybe it would be worthwhile addressing that anxiety with something like some exercise that you enjoy and doesn't ramp up your tinnitus. I know exercise helps a great number of sufferers get some relief.
I don't know why.
This is not the Lenire thread. I caught a cold somehow. Another thing to worry about.
There's no point in talking about Lenire until there's an official announcement that it is curing people with tinnitus or reducing severity. It also is a problem for many people in terms of cost. So why ask me these questions?

I am not big on meds, but tried a lorazepam a couple nights ago, and it let me sleep over 4 hours. It made me groggy for many hours afterwards. I'm a light weight with meds. But I'm ready to take a lot more of anything at this point. I have an endless stash of every opioid imaginable. And it is sounding much better than this tinnitus.
I asked you about meds, to see if you can somehow induce the reduction you experienced while taking a bath in other ways, too.
I went with what you said and it got me thinking. What is it that made your tinnitus temporarily better? Lower heart rate? Relaxation to some degree? Body temperature? Maybe residual inhibition from the water running?
If you manage to pinpoint what exactly eased your tinnitus right then, it might open the door to some lasting relief if you can replicate the parameters that seemed to work for you.
I didn't mention Lenire. Other people did. I thought about mentioning it, but since you already mentioned the cost being prohibitive and the fact it's only available in Ireland at the moment I thought I better not to.
Like you, I'm also waiting for some conformation of it working, other than the reports on the forum. It seems to be doing something for most people, so I'm somewhat hopeful.
All the best.
I don't know. Has anyone here ever figured any of that out? I don't think so.
The ringing is so bad that I want to try the exit bag. I have trouble concentrating in planning my suicide. The fluctuation is always temporary and it's too brief. Seems random. I guess I have to get on the dark web since I won't get help for planning suicide here.

Pete, it took me 2 to 2 1/2 years to fully habituate. It did not bother me at all. Give it time and really take care of yourself. Any excess noise exposure will start it all over again, so be careful.

Mark how bad was your tinnitus? I agree my mild tinnitus 20 years ago resolved after around 3 years.
Omg my ears are screaming today, ear fullness, some pain...and had an okay day yesterday... ugh.
This is louder than the shower.

Hey friends, I'm having a hard time. I'm two months out and my recovery has been going really well (considering I was in constant sharp pain initially with hyperacusis) but the fullness in my ear that went away after 1 1/2 months has come back. The pain is still mostly subsided, but I just feel really hopeless. Any tips on how to deal with setbacks like this? I know I'm doing so well and I want to stay happy, but it just kills me to feel like I'm slipping back towards the worst time of my life.

Probably the same as yours when it started, mild. It is severe and debilitating today. Same with louder than the shower, and hear it loud and clear at any speed in the car. But I am early in this new stage.

I don't think you understand.
There's too many tones, the pitch is too high and the volume is too loud.
The few and rare fluctuations are okay but it doesn't last. This type of tinnitus isn't typical or normal - offing myself is difficult since the loud tones distract my concentration. That's the irony. It's constant torture. I think assisted suicide should be legal for this condition.

Pete, I am very sorry you are in this dark place right now. I admit, it may have been easier for me in the sense I started with a mild tinnitus and was able to habituate in 2 to 2 1/2 years. I am much worse off today and struggling to cope like you. But my five years experience with tinnitus, albeit starting mild, makes me more optimistic that I will eventually cope/habituate again with my severe debilitating tinnitus. My biggest hurdles are/was letting go of the guilt on how I got here, the life I used to have without tinnitus, and feeling the intense anxiety when I focus on the sounds, especially when trying to sleep. I am using everything in my arsenal to get there: medications, partially masking, nutrition, exercising, hydrating, sleeping, etc., and reaching out for support. I find soothing background sounds to redirect my focused has helped me a lot. I am not masking, I'm just trying to refocus my thoughts with sounds. It is human nature for all this to take time.
