Tinnitus Blip!?

[Notreve7766]

Hi All

I recently joined the forum to help others suffering from Tinnitus having fully habituated. I suffered for well over 18 months back in 2021 but through working on myself i got to the stage where I literally forgot I had Tinnitus for long periods and when i did hear it the impact on me was very slight.

Then earlier this month I had a very difficult period too long list but its fair to say my stress cup got very full and overflowed!

Since then I have been struggling again with my Tinnitus. I cant say its any different to how I experienced it in the earlier days when I first heard my Tinnitus back in 2021 but my reaction to it has changed. I honestly never thought that would happen again but here we are.

Good thing is I've given so many others advice on this that I know what I need to do, I know what worked last time and I know timescales wont be anywhere near as long as before.

This highlights to me the importance for everyone with Tinnitus to look after that stress cup and to prioritise health over everything else.

Thanks for listening

Sorry to hear you are suffering again but great that you know what works for you. Could you share your hints & tips on here please? I think I’m getting there very slowly with habitutation but would love to know what works for others.

Slept amazing last night. Had a good session in the gym and gave the steam room a try for the first time in a while. I really didn’t want to go but I find that achieving something difficult has always been the best medicine for my reaction to Tinnitus

Hi,

You’ve been so kind and helpful to so many others - I really hope you can take the time to look after yourself as you get on top of things again.

Thinking of you! x

Can I ask, has your actual tinnitus changed?

[Notreve7766 in reply to Deena6]

I don’t think so. Just my reaction to it. Everything I’m experiencing feels similar to back before I had habituated. It would be easy at this stage to feel like it had gotten worse but when I challenge that thought and consider the evidence it’s pretty much the same as it was

Good! You're lucky. Tell your reaction to piss off and then get on with your life.

Being a 2021 start wonder whether you felt yours was a Covid related trigger too as was mine- mine now gets worse with any head cold/ flight…quite a lot of evidence for the COVID link now
