Hello everybody I am new to this app. I've had tinnitus for 2 years and now I have Cod on top of that. Any words of wisdom out there.

It's a bad habit of compulsive of doing things. My problem is negative thoughts I keep on popping in and out my head. I'm seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. The medications they've been giving me even make me feel real bad.

Thanks for explaining - I wondered if the D stood for some kind of deafness or hearing loss I hadn't heard about before.

Is there anything that tinnitus sufferers can do to do about the nervousness from tinnitus.
