Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / March 2005All quiet - WHY????
I know I shouldn't complain that I have had a completely quiet day since I got up this morning, but I would love to know WHY? My T is always noisy (high-pitchcd squealing pigs) and most days drives me silly, but I get the odd day of peace, and I never know why! It can't be due to not being stressed because I was going to be fitted with new aids tomorrow at the hospital's audiology department and they rang me to cancel it at lunchtime today, and that really depressed me :( However, as I sit here typing, the T isn't there, so where has it gone, I ask? I don't understand the variation at all. I sleep well, but the T is always noisy when I wake up ( I can only remember it ever being quiet one morning in the past 12 years) and how can I get used to it (habituate) when it isn't the same all the time. I do wish doctors' would get off their arses and discover what this strange thing called T actually is and do something useful for us!!

Such reports give hope to all of us. On the subject of "tinnitus off-switches", you've got 'lying on your side' as an off-switch. I've got 'putting on my little amplifier'. I wonder if there are any others out there with reliable tinnitus 'off-switches' they can turn to when things get tough ? If so please tell us ! > I do wish doctors' would get off their arses and discover what this > strange thing called T actually is and do something useful for us!! Agreed. But maybe it's a bit like finding a cure for cancer, ie. difficult and complicated with various hard-to-understand causes. Steve O > You must have been lying on your side too much Ben !! ;-) Seriously, > glad to hear things are currently fine. Such reports give hope to all of us. To be honest, I think I have been sleeping too much recently! Now I am having a lot less sleep the T is quietening down. > On the subject of "tinnitus off-switches", you've got 'lying on your side' > as an off-switch. I've got 'putting on my little amplifier'. I wonder if > there are any others out there with reliable tinnitus 'off-switches' they > can turn to when things get tough ? If so please tell us ! I bought a foot massager for my neck LOL! I couldn't find another type so I thought, why not? The noise it made this morning when I used it after I woke up with high-pitched squealing again, was covered up by the noise the massager made. After I had used it, the T was quiet again! ( I only used it on my left side) Ben <who has just received another hospital appointment - the 11th of MAY!!!! to fetch aids which I know are down there and I can't have them, and I was supposed to get them today :( - pah!> Don't analyze it into permanency. Instead, enjoy the silent days and chances are silence will become the norm instead of the exception. >I do wish doctors' would get off their arses and discover what this >strange thing called T actually is and do something useful for us!! I remember your frustration all too well, but - tinnitus is an equal opportunity nuisance and 1 out of every 5 people do experience it from time to time so this means it does include many a medical doctor. A lot of serious research is being done all over the place, you just don't hear much about it because T isn't glamorous enough to be written about in the media. Some day there will be many frontpage headlines announcing T will be a thing of the past. If you find a way to allow yourself to accept this then that day will actually be a moot point. In the mean time, life's grand - allow yourself to enjoy it, Bart. - Check my most up to date email address at: www.haruteq.com/contact.htm banjo bridges, tabs, stained glass: www.haruteq.com **may your moments of need be met by moments of compassion** > I know I shouldn't complain that I have had a completely quiet day since I > got up this morning, but I would love to know WHY?

Good one, Francis. :-) > >> I know I shouldn't complain that I have had a completely quiet day since > >> I [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > > LOL. Good one, Francis. :-) ========= I am serious. Recalling how I complained about my t a year or so ago, and few had ever given solid answers as to why a t was intermittent, etc.. Now, i am convinced it is due to the nerve, and our nervous system is veeeery complicated. FP |
