Petloy was on here for awhile and is Filipino, but I don't know if he Skypes or comes here very often:

Madam McMurdo is Petloy or you a tinnitus patient?

Madam McMurdo have you overcome tinnitus now? How?

Yes, everyone in this group has tinnitus.

We all manage our tinnitus in different ways on here. Some days are better than others. None of us have "overcome" our tinnitus, but we use different techniques to deal with it--white noise, music, sound/radio.fans/TV, TRT, distraction, medication, meditation, counseling, prayer, emotional support from others who have T, and so on.

You are blessed madam for having a tinnitus community. Sad to say im alone here in the Philippines without support from fellow filipino tinnitus patients. I have been to 12 filipino doctors and they told me to live with it. I have a very promising and effective sound to combat tinnitus. I think i have discovered a better sound other than white noise.

This tinnitus (DS) community is online so we are from all over the world here. Since you are a member here, you are not alone.

Yes, "learn to live with it" is the common answer from docs, even ENTs.

I'm glad you found a noise that works for you. :) I use pink noise or running water noise (rain or streams), but others on here use other sounds.

@jasper I haven't been here for awhile...I just decided to drop by...Hindi ka nag iisa...nandito si fern at ako. Hi Julie...miss you my friend!

Nice to see you back here Petloy, it looks like it was good you came.
I hope you are doing well,
Hugs,
Sandy

Hi Peter!!! :) Good timing, friend!

@petloy. Hirap aq makahanap right job for me na may tinnitus. May suggestion po kayo?

Ian, why do you say that its hard for you to fin work? Do you have tinnitus in both ears? Is it noise induced? tell me more or send me a message.

I will check my inbox regularly from now on. Don't worry about it you'll get through this. My friends here in DS helped me go through my T when I had it 2 years ago...now is my time to help...

Ian, do you have FB?

Petloy, is your tinnitus gone or have you learned to live with it? I guess we all learn to live with it but do you still hear it 24/7 or has it faded to the background?

Hi Sue!, My T today is actually a little bit louder compared to when it started 2 years ago, but MOST days It actually does not bother me, I still get bad days, usually when I don't get a good night's sleep or am stressed out, if I do I get busy, swim or watch TV anything...then I just take Melatonin to help me sleep then it's back to baseline next day. I still have a long way to go to total habituation but hopefully I'm in the right track. How are you?
