T and me

[forest3]

Mine has been going on for 30 years. Initially came from a loud concert. Since then an acoustic neuroma operation made it worse. And getting older has not helped. I've been down different paths seeking relief.

What is helping is the odd realization of the truth. It's not funny but for some of us without a known medical cause or cure, T seems uncontrollable. I tell myself that the problem is in my head and that is helping me cope. I guide my attention and as it shifts, tinnitus is not in control anymore and I can get on with my life. It's like mindfulness. Tuning the focus to the tinnitus has helped because my attention wanders and then the tinnitus subsides and is no longer disabling. I then feel a little less sorry for myself. I hope my story helps and know that we share our suffering but also our love, kindness, and sympathy.

Hi forest3

Great to hear you are finally having success with long term T, just like me

I've had T for a very long time now

And, finally, it's gone!

Simply by re-defining the way I view T

If interested, please see my post

Good luck

Hi I’ve had tinnitus for four years now and feel it’s getting worse not better. I’ve also had lots of pain as I’ve had 7 operations on my ear, I now wear a cochlear implant. I’m struggling big time at the moment so any hints , ideas would be fantastic... just trying to get the anxiety levels down .

Many thanks Jenny .. you can private message me if you like !

Hi 1dar

If interested, please read my post where I describe how I got 'rid' of T after having it for 40 years

I did this by explaining to myself that, since the Sound I was 'hearing' wasn't real, it must be an 'illusion' or a figment of my brain's extraordinary imagination

So, it's gone as I don't acknowledge it as real anymore

Good luck!

Hi Alps that’s great you are able to get rid of your tinnitus that way . Where do I find that post ? I would be interested to hear what you said. My main focus has been on tinnitus which is driving me mad.
