Last year I tried launching a Kickstarter, and then a hurricane hit my home and things derailed from there. Now that my business model has changed, I might actually get results. I'm so relieved.

My update; Ear burning getting worse. T fluctuates from pure hell to severe based on Ativan dose.

Hey, I am in klonopin withdrawal, 15 months along. My tinnitus is pretty bad the past few days. I have about 8 tones altogether, but some days are a lot better and I it seems more like 3/4 tones. Hang in there… I have an 8 year old and an 8 month old. You seem really scared.
This current spike is gradually and expertly eroding the layers of psychological defense I built over the last few years. Tinnitus is just Evil. Plain and Simple.
Today starts next taper dose of Ativan. Already in a bad place. I'm nervous.
Hello everyone 
I'm back with an update. My T is still there and spikes have become less and less. I am living life more normally despite this noise..it's still annoying most days but I'm pushing through. Reactivity is wayyyyy down but still there....nothing like it was though. Hyperacusis is about 95% gone. I'm just reaching 2 years into this.

It's getting so bad. Maybe I should just stay on benzos and up my dose. This is insane.
Feel like the first person to ever have a positive ENT trip... didn't change matters, but he agreed with my self-diagnosis, told me to protect as much as possible and was honest that an MRI would be too noisy and probably not find much that would change matters.
Plus I got to look up my nose just for fun.

Another day another tone.
Exactly 4 months ago I woke up wishing it was a nightmare. The last month has really sucked. I definitely very often have the feeling that absolutely nothing has improved. It's this malignant certainty that it will stay like this for the rest of my life. When I use earplugs, it still throws me into a depressive phase because all I hear is the ringing. I want silence back so much.
Why is T so fricken variable?... one day its ok, the next is pure hell. Ugh... what did we do to deserve this?!
Have had very bad T and pain H for about 14 years now, it still sucks and robbed me of things I used to be able to do and enjoy. Typing this with raging T and pain. It only ends in my dreams. Waking up feels like a bomb went off in my head every morning.
any cure yet?
Feels like my left ear is infected, but it isn't.

New tones today. I'm so fucked.

Still doing bad. Sticking to taper. This sucks.
Had no "spike" after doing all that work on the car yesterday but today its a little bit elevated (more hissy). Think i have been abit stressed under the night and tensed myself. Will see how it goes.
Any car mechanics in the group? I hade to change wheelbearing in my old car and i was force to use alot of "hammering" to get it out. I was wearing both Earplugs 35 DB AND Peltor 35 DB. Just looking for some reasurance because it was abit uncomfortable when there was metal on metal hit. I also manage to drop a giant ironbar when i remove the earmuffts (still earplugs in tho thank god........
Hi @JJJ147, how is your T?
I woke up this morning with the loudest whine in my left ear ever. I'm getting a 2nd opinion on my left TMJ.
