can't. I, personaly don't know how to accept it. As time pasess, it bothers
me more and more..

If you don't know where/how to find it..........here it is:

Tinnitus Habituation For Dummies

by "Bill" <bill@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Oct 29, 2003 at 11:17 PM

Hi newbies!  Every year or so I impose on this group with the steps that
led
to my tinnitus habituation hoping someone else can find relief.
Habituation
is a wonderful thing, IMO, considering my T level is probably higher now
that when I regularly posted to this group while, at the same time, I can
completely shut it off for weeks or perhaps months at a time.  Hard to
imagine, I suppose, but the ringing is only present if I pause to listen
for it.  Otherwise... dead silence or the sound of whatever is going on
around
me.

1.  Visit your ENT.  Excluding T caused by an acoustic neuroma at least
brings some peace of mind.  When your ENT says "learn to live with it"
take him/her seriously.

2.  Accept your situation and commit yourself to doing just what the ENT
has told you.  You may need some help but the vast majority of those with T
will successfully adjust.  Yes, this may take a year or more but remember...
there is a strong likelihood you will succeed on your own.

3. Explain your situation to those with whom you live and work.  It is
likely your T will affect your ability to discriminate between multiple
sources of sound.  This is not to say your ability to hear soft sounds has
been diminished but rather that your ability to hear one conversation
while another it taking place nearby may be.  It sure helps if they are
patient
with you as you try to understand them in a noisy environment.

4. You all know how important it is to avoid loud sounds.  During the
habituation period, it is probably more important to avoid silence.  More
about avoiding silence follows.

5. When you are interested in something else, and not concentrating on
your T, notice that you are able to ignore it for that period.  I think it
important that the noise level you choose to mask your tinnitus otherwise
distracts you.  I'm so fortunate to receive Minnesota Public Radio's
all-news broadcast.  Maybe talk radio interests you.  Whatever the source,
it helps if it is intellectually stimulating.

6.  Set your nightstand radio to something both interesting and laid back.
Where I live, the BBC is broadcast around the time I go to bed.  There is
something about the BBC I can't put into words.  It interests me while
lulling me to sleep.  Sometime after I'm in never-never land the timer on
my radio shuts it off.

Learn as much about your condition as you can, at least enough to know
that, aside from EERIE WAX, there is no cure.  Since it won't kill you, you
MUST
learn to live with it.  Forget about herbal remedies, acupuncture,
hypnosis, candles, massage and the rest of the crap out there.  Avoid
ototoxic
drugs.
Just do the six simple things I've outlined above and be patient.  You
will enjoy absolute silence again some day.
