Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / December 2004Yes Santa.....ANOTHER posiive thread
its been approx 2 weeks since I started TRT.......absolutley remarkable!! It is just like they say, I hardly hear the noise and when I do it doesn't distress me anymore. I know my posts have been up and down...just like my tinnitus has been, but I feel like I can actually have a life and have tinnitus now..where as before I thought my life is over. I know I will always get critical people like santa who can't believe that such an about face is possible, but Im telling you it is. I think I had to hit rock bottom first (hence the suicidal tendancies) before I just faced the fact I had tinnitus, and now I have found out I dont have to "learn to Live with it" as i was told by so many MD's from the start....things are looking up...yes I ma have the occasional setback..but geez, I'm only human. The occasional setback doesn't mean I am manic. I think now I have joined th ranks of people who come to this board to help others, at first you think noone can help you. and you think well there tinnitus can be as bad as mine, but eventually it is a big help. Thanks to everyone. Have a GREAT christmas.

Any mention of this from your provider? MJ she said she didnt think it was such a good idea...Im weaning myself off them :-) This is the only one I go to now. >Hey, Jenny, you know, just as a tiny thought here, most TRT clinicians will ask >patients to take a six month break from these chat groups, internet boards, etc [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >MJ Good for you! You must simply turn your back on the tinnitus and let it wither away.......... MJ Hi Murray...........there is one MD here doing BAHA units, R. STerling Hodgson. I went to a presentation and a couple implantees were there and I asked if they had T but neither did prior to the surgery so wasn't much use with regard to your question. I would think that it might be similar to hearing aid impact on T which is about 10 percent, according to the literature. (One in ten who wears a hearing finds their T disappears). Marsha Johnson, M.S. Dear Oregon, Have you seen any results from BAHA suppressing Tinnitus? I think I am seeing about 60% improvement, but not ready to recommend it just for T alone.

Interestingly though, don't know if this is just me, my tinnitus is much louder after immediately removing the BAHA and it takes a few hrs (sometimes more) for the "t" to settle down. Any theories?? Disappointed that it doesn't seem to help when I need it the most, such as in crowded places, especially attending parties/restaurants. frank
