Hi all. I've had my T since July. The ENT more or less said, "deal with it. Nothing we can do." Any suggestions for a next step. I want to do what I can, even if it's just masking it. Thank you.

Have you read through the discussion posts on this site? There is a wealth of good discussion, information, and suggestions there. For me, masking is really the only thing that helps. I wear hearing aid maskers most of the time. I use a sound machine around the house and sleep with the sound machine and table top fan a few feet from my head. I used sleep meds for a few months, but don't really need them anymore. Beware of all the tinnitus cure remedies you see advertised on many of these pages...in my opinion none of them really work. Also, consider joining the ATA, American Tinnitus Association. They'll keep you up on the latest research, etc...

Hey thanks. I'm new here on this site too. I didn't even know there was anything I could do for this. I think I will go onto that ATA site. Love and Prayers Ramona xoxoxo

I sleep with a box fan on. It has a white noise effect. My ENT doc gave me 1/2 a millogram of Xanax to take at bedtime to help me calm down and sleep because the T gives me anxiety. During the day I try to keep as busy as possible and I avoid loud sounds as much as possible.

I just "stumbled" (or for those who believe in divine intervention:) across an interesting book at the library called "Save your hearing now" by Michael Seidman. Interesting reading.
