Hi. I never claim to have the answers, so all I can do is say "hang in there." It is rally hard to deal with at first. I am trying to get used to it myself and what it does to my social life. From what people tell me, we will get used to it and not notice it so much. If you had some periods without it, that is a good sign. take really good care of your ears and maybe it will at least subside some. We are here for you. O yeah, it sounds corny, but try to relax as best you can. Meditation, yoga, prayer can help some people.

This may sound strange, but after trying noise machines, pills, etc., I just told myself that every person has his/her own so-called quiet level and my quiet level includes a little more noise than another person's. I seldom even think about it anymore. I may have one rough day a year when I dwell on it. I recently saw an ad for a Chinese herb in a medical email which I subscribe to, but I haven't tried it yet.

I'm sure everyone will think this is completely backwards, but when mine gets really bad sometimes I just sit there and listen to it. I mean, it's like anything else, after a certain point you just get bored with it and stop paying attention. I've found that once you get used to ignoring it you don't hear it so much anymore.

I don't have any suggestions, but mine seems to get worse after short naps. Past two days have been bearable. Woke up before dawn today, and it was still bearable. Went back to sleep for a few minutes, and now things are not so good. It's so frustrating to be tired all day.

i try that but still hard to go to bed sometimes.

I sleep with a fan on. The sound helps to drown out the ringing and if anything helps me focus on something else.

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. I listen to soft music most of the day, I have stereo in every room of my house, and when I am in the car. Never be in complete silence always have some sound around you . I also wear ear generators for about 8 hours a day, this also helps retrain your brain to eventually not hear the tinnitus. Tinnitus is a very hard thing to live with but it is not life threatning ,just frustrating and aggravating. If we give it enough time it does get better, just try to stay calm. I've had it for 6 years and I know what you are going through. I sleep with a sound machine at night which helps a lot. I have different sounds on it but the one I like best is rain and thunderstorms. Hang in there and remember you are not alone in this. Hugs Fall

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
