New tone: seeking for success stories

[Winisij]

Good day to you

My journey with tinnitus started 2 years ago, an electric buzz in my right ear 24/7. I went to lots of ENT but the outcome was always the same: a slightly loss at 6Kz, idiopathic, live with it.

Despite that, after months and month with background noise in order to sleep, doing physical activity, cutting sugar and salt and losing weight, I was fully habituated, I wasn't annoyed anymore and I was able to sleep without background music, and maybe I was even able to reach deep silence!

BUT

Last Wednesday a new tone comes out. It's very very low, I can only hear in complete silence, but I'm feeling depressed. I went right away to the ENT who only gave me supplements and vitamins and told me to stop drinking coffee ( i drank three cups per day )

I'm stuck at bed and prone to cry: I was finally happy and now I'm falling again in this nightmare. I can't sleep at night, background noise is not helping me anymore, blaming me about how coffee could trigger this new sound...

I don't know what to do, so please give me some hope: will I return back where I was? What should I do now? Thanks.

Hi Winisij many tinnitus sufferers go through the same vicious circle that’s the way this beasts is I like you up to today most of the year my tinnitus was near to silence I got on and enjoyed life but my tinnitus has returned and I find myself struggling I stopped drinking regular tea and coffee and only drink decaf tea and coffee I don’t pay much attention on cutting out certain foods everyone ‘ s tinnitus is different if like me your tinnitus reduced it will again it’s keeping positive and keeping busy and active you will get loads of support from the forums take care.

They always blame coffee if your fat it would be lose weight if you smoke it would be that if you drink I would be don't drink.I have 1 cup of tea a day i don't drink tea in the hot weather so it can't be that.
