[Toughmathew]

Well as i said very first stage in habituation , now the sound from debilitating to now what i discribe as mind or brain itchy.....not so good but definitely less disturbing

[Suz_2 in reply to Toughmathew]

so you have had a big improvement ? thats good to hear - how did u do this - with masking / sound therapy?

[Toughmathew in reply to Suz_2]

Just two out of ten i mean less hopeless than before cant say its so good, but i dont use masking now coz it doesnt get anyway i just chatted with bta hotline guys for a few time listen to their experience and trust them , then relieved a bit , long road to walk though

[Toughmathew in reply to Suz_2]

As i said its still not comfortable but if for example before its a big speaker disturbance, but its like mind itchy that i cant scratch.....hope will improve

[Toughmathew in reply to Suz_2]

Hows your t sound like? Wonder anyone is like modem dialing ...., Perhaps it takes time to truly habituate , fingers crossed in this year can do

[Suz_2 in reply to Toughmathew]

Mathew - didnt understand what u meant when u said "but i dont use masking now coz it doesnt get anyway"

did u mean to say the masking didnt work for U? did the masking work for U or not ??

[Toughmathew in reply to Suz_2]

Masking in headset makes me even uncomfortable especually after taking off, it doesnt work for me, I just use my willpower to ignore it , however as i said now the intensity is almost same its just that it feels like itchy in the head in there, i still need to make effort in distraction by focusing on other thing

[Toughmathew in reply to Suz_2]

Mine sounds like on the head rather than earswhat about u guys

[Toughmathew in reply to Suz_2]

The fact that usually we heard about t is to live with for good, i understand its no cure but seems it wouldnt go away is the usual result

[doglover1973]

Nice work Matthew. So glad you're feeling a little bit better 🙂

[Toughmathew in reply to doglover1973]

Hey do u believe most of people result from hair cell dead

[Andy79]

I waited 1 year to be seen by that time I had habituated and found my own ways. NHS is a complete joke when it comes to things that they cannot cash in on. My advice for tinnitus sufferers is the worst part is the beggining. When you realise what's happening to you and you find out you are not alone you will find a way out . Never repeat Never give up. We are a clan and we are everywhere.

[Toughmathew in reply to Andy79]

I agree mate thats bad

[Toughmathew in reply to Andy79]

So how would the ent or audiology team help in nhs

[Suz_2 in reply to Toughmathew]

Audiology would provide hearing aids , but only if u have hearing loss / CBT psychotherapy with psychologist but the waiting lists are huge. Like Andy said u have to find yr own ways of coping with the T
