Spent A Full Day Outside the House Like a Normal Human Being

feeds@yuku.com (guys) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:38:22 GMT

Started off at noon at a busy restaurant. Had a long lunch for a couple of hours. Put in the ER 20's with the occasional screaming kids.

Went off to the mall and walked around the beach. Very busy day with lots of tourists and lots of honking horns and car alarms. I trust the ER 20's spared me.

Went to a few pubs, starting early at around 8:30-ish. It was loud. I went with foam 33 dbA NRR plugs. Even with the plugs, the music still seemed a bit loud. I refused to...

escalating T whats going on?

feeds@yuku.com (chitown) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:22:22 GMT

I finished a very slow taper from benzo in august.But since then my T has been getting progressively worse.The last couple of weeks has been especially bad and i'm in a state of constant panic. I broke down and starting taking 8 mgs of valium since thursday night.the only thing it helps with is sleep.I just don't get why it's getting so much louder.I thought the benzos would help lower it a bit, but it hasn't.I know when I drink 3 or 4 glasses of wine it seems to lower the T a...

Man, I Am My Worst Enemy

feeds@yuku.com (txring36) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:34:06 GMT

In one second, I ruined my weekend. All my fault. I am so stupid, stupid, stupid. I started off the weekend looking forward to catching up on some video games. I've been playing this game called Assasin's Creed. Well the game suddenly got hard, real hard. I had to escape from like two dozen men chasing me, and I couldn't get my guy to jump right and kept dying over and over. After an hour of dying, I lost my cool. I was spouting off a rant of profanity angry at this game...

When is it considered chronic ear noise? Is Tinnitus self-healing?

feeds@yuku.com (NoiceCanChangeYou) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:26:00 GMT

I have tinnitus for about 3 mouths, from a busted eardrum, due to slap to ear.

What's the time period for acute / chronic ???

Separating "accepting it" from "giving up"

feeds@yuku.com (Pessia) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:17:22 GMT

So here I am, about 3 years into my tinnitus journey, and it's not better. In fact, it's worse. Instead of mainly the left ear, it's both ears now. Good days are fewer. I'm 99% convinced this is being caused by clenching at night, yet no mouth guard has done any good. Meds used to help but they are becoming less effective.

Yet, I can't "accept" that this is the way it's going to be. To me that is analogous to giving up. How have some of you dealt...

hey guys.. long time no see..

feeds@yuku.com (kharaa) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:20:25 GMT

It only seems like I post here anymore when i'm having a really hard time, which is like once a year.

My tinnitus is roughly the same, i'd say it's slightly worse, the other ear rings now, but the loudness in the other ear overwhelms it, so i don't hear it until i lie down.

which has been my problem throughout my experience with tinnitus. It's a phenomenon that no doctor, or member of this board have been able to help me with.

I just spoke to a dr. provided by my cheezy health ins.plan/. Explained I was having a terrible spike in my t, since I have been taking antbct. (amoxicillin) clavinate (see my post)
When he asked me what have I taken for the t, I explained just lazmp. he suggested something called 'tegretol' well,I checked that out and the side f/x are unbelievable, can affect the blood badly, when I told him I was considering chiro. care, he actually laughed... I would rather take my chances w/...

My doc is at a lost for this this. All testsCT, MRI, xray are negative. Masking does help with whoosing but the...

Need a Place to Live - Any Advice?

feeds@yuku.com (pittsburghmike) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:01:56 GMT

lost my job. can't afford my mortgage payment and the house is going thru foreclosure. what's devastating is that my severe tinnitus is no longer habituated and has been intrusive for the past 3 months. the intrusive tinnitus is the devastating part. i was hoping that if i found that security (place to live) for enough time then the tinnitus would subside. i also had hyperacusis, so i'm limited to where i can live.

i have enough money to afford a modest place for...

Hi,

On xanax for a couple days. first time i've used it. mixed results. at night it helps me sleep a little better. in the afternoon it helps to settle me down. even though it's only been three days, the effects already appear to be declining. first night i slept for 6 hours, 2nd night kept waking up, last night i doubled the dose (.25mg to .5mg) slept for 4 straight hours, managed to stay in bed for another 2 hours. Same with the afternoon dose. first day i felt...

What Anti-Depressant works well with Tinnitus?

feeds@yuku.com (NoiceCanChangeYou) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:58:20 GMT

I understand this is a very personal question that you may or not feel inclined to answer, Life is hard enough without Tinnitus breathing down your neck. I tried Lexapro and my body wasn't having it...I got extremely depressed with thoughts of suicide and it aggravated my Tinnitus. I stopped taking the medication and started to even out again...T calmed down.

What else might work better? What might work better that wont aggravate my Tinnitus.

Hello, Everyone! Newbie to the Tinnitus. I developed a ringing/buzzing noise in my right ear on aug 22nd 2009. After a trauma due to slap to the ear that burst my eardrum. My eardrum has healed alot but the hole still isn't 100% closed to this day. The ENT thinks the slap also caused slight nerve damage. So ever since that day it's been 24/7 ringing. Oh yeah to top it off I put anti-wax drops in that ear, thinking it was a wax problem... talk about burning! Some people can live with...
