Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / February 2008Tinnitus sound remaining constant throughout.
I am curious to find out the % of tinnitus suffers whose level of T sound has remained pretty much constant since its onset.

It's always the same with you, FP. Posting tripe about tinnitus, as if you knew the slightest thing about it, which you don't. And then when someone calls you on your absurd and useless posts, it's always gutter language (garbled a bit grammatically) calling people "trash" and making cesspool comments about their parents. You really belong in a nuthouse, or perhaps an outhouse. Now, please, get lost for good.

So when someone challenges your crap, show some respect. , or to demonstrate how your parents spoke to you when you were kids, Now here you are losing me. You seem preoccupied with insulting others' parents and/or their upbringing, for some unknown and sick reason. You might consider getting some mental help.

All it takes is the realization that what works for one may not work for another. And what is even more perplexing is that what works for one at a certain point in time may not work at other times for the same individual. This is what makes tinnitus so frustrating and challenging. The failure to realize this is the failure of an intellectual process, and the attempt to ridicule something that one does not understand or makes no effort to understand is the failure of an attitude of a certain social group, whom I call trash. >On Jan 22, 3:05 am, HeyNow...@gmail.com wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 76 lines] >does not understand or makes no effort to understand is the failure >of an attitude of a certain social group, whom I call trash.

In fact, I've probably had this ever since I was in my early 20's - but just didn't realize it. The good thing is this: Once I realized that I had it, my brain had already adapted to the "sound", so it doesn't really bother me that much since my brain tunes it out. I hear it only when I *think* about it. Like now, since I'm writing about it, I'm noticing it. In a few minutes, I'll move on to something else, be distracted, and I won't even be thinking about it. Since tinnitus seems to be mostly incurable, from everything I've read, it is best to deal with it from a psychological point of view. Get used to it! Tune it out! Adapt! This is probably a better (and more effective) approach instead of looking for that one miracle drug.

[quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > This is probably a better (and more effective) approach instead of > looking for that one miracle drug. You're 'lucky' to have had time to adapt to this but many get it later in life when it can be devastating and so life draining that logical thought is difficult. When I first got this in my 50's it took some time to adapt but eventually I learned to ignore it and generally didn't bother me. After a recent viral infection the sound went up a notch and I need to habituate all over again but this time there is no despair.

IN order for the tinnitus to effect you it has to effect the limbic and sypathometic system. >>> I am curious to find out the % of tinnitus suffers whose level of T >>> sound has remained pretty much constant since its onset. [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > bother me. After a recent viral infection the sound went up a notch and > I need to habituate all over again but this time there is no despair. You're right. I'm 51-yrs-old. My tinnitus never goes away. Sometimes it's worse than other times. But it NEVER goes completely away. Being very tired combined with alcohol consumption tends to make it worse. In fact, I would say that tinnitus makes my hearing MORE sensitive. I hate going into loud places. I don't like loud bands and try to stay away from those situations. I have difficulty hearing people when there is a lot of background noise. It's not that I can't hear them - it's more like I cannot tune out the background noise. Also, I have to hear people OVER what I'm already "hearing". Yet, oddly, I don't like situations where it's dead quiet. I always have to have some kind of background (white noise) when I sleep. I like the hum of an air conditioner or a fan. If the room is dead quiet, it causes me to "hear" my tinnitus and causes my brain to focus on it. I can see how this could drive a person crazy. And I feel sorry for people who suffer from this affliction. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself and I want somebody (family members) to understand what I have to endure. It's a struggle to keep telling myself, "It's fine. I'm not in any kind of pain. This is survivable. I'm functional. I can live with this." David Emerling Memphis, TN > You're right.

Jan, in the link below shows a picture of an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine which looks like a big donut. You lie on a moveable table and it slides you into the donut (magnet) and pulses drive the magnetic field which in the end result produces images. http://www.howstuffworks.com/mri.htm Below is quoted from the above article: a.. The machine makes a tremendous amount of noise during a scan. The noise sounds like a continual, rapid hammering. Patients are given earplugs or stereo headphones to muffle the noise (in most MRI centers you can even bring your own cassette or CD to listen to). The noise is due to the rising electrical current in the wires of the gradient magnets being opposed by the main magnetic field. The stronger the main field, the louder the gradient noise. a.. MRI scans require patients to hold very still for extended periods of time. MRI exams can range in length from 20 minutes to 90 minutes or more. Even very slight movement of the part being scanned can cause very distorted images that will have to be repeated. a.. Dave C. Yup. That looks like the machine. It didn't make any noise I can remember and no earphones or plugs were issued. There may have been some slight clicking sounds as the table slid in and out again. Basically the tech walked out of the room and back in...maybe a 20 second delay. Can't remember hearing anything. Perhaps some older technology machines were used? The one I visited is less than two years old. It took less than two days to get it done and more than 6 weeks to get a Doctor to read the damn thing though. We have a "Me Doctor, Me important a.shole" thing going on here though. Planned after money caps twenty years ago. Just to give a further indication, in three trip to emerg only one took less than 12 hours to get the "go home" from the one doctor in the 500 bed hospital. LOL >>I have a few MRIs.

THis is just another example of Janices(Larry in tights) false information he spews in the newsgroups. He's a "know it all" who knows nothing except how to toke his bong. Anyone who has had a "real" MRI knows how noisey they are! > Can't figure what exam you had. Not enough information on what you had > done. Maybe it was not an MRI. MRI makes a racket you'd never forget. Yes, and while X rays are 20 seconds or less, MRIs typically take considerable longer. And mine have been done at facilities with the most current, updated machines and software. I've had about 5 different types of MRI in the past year, all noisy, and taking minutes, sometimes 30 minutes, not 20 seconds. Susan Toshiba advertises a much quieter technology for their MRI machines. I couldn't find a noise level to indicate how much quieter. >> Yup. That looks like the machine.

Janice, When you have an MRI they have an emergency button that you can press so you can stop the treatment because patients sometimes get panic attacks due to claustrophobia. The noise is bloody awful, even on the new machines. I doubt very much you have had an MRI scan, because it is quite an unpleasant experience. Best regards John >> Yup. That looks like the machine.

It was less of a hassle than dental > X-rays in the office chair. MRI's make a LOT of noise, that's why they give you head phones and music to listen to; it gets very loud in there. They also take longer than seconds, so I'd say you've never had an MRI and don't know WTF you're talking about. I've had several in the past year. Susan >MRI's make a LOT of noise, that's why they give you head phones and >music to listen to; it gets very loud in there.

They did give me ear plugs which I was glad of ! It does make a fearsome din, but the machine though very new didn't have piped music in it. It wouldn't be much use to me as without the hearing aids in, and with the Tinnitus shouting as loudly as it does, the noise from the machine would drown out the music for me anyway. I was in the machine for about 45 to 50 minutes on each session. You can't move anything during that time so you end up very stiff in most of your limbs. They have to help you up to get out of the machine when it's all over. It's a bit like a torture. To add insult to injury they inject your vein in the arm with a special dye about five minutes from the end of the scan which shows up bad tissue better. Sometimes that jab is painless sometimes it feels like they've crucified you to the table ! I have to have another one in June. I don't look forward to it, and it doesn't do my Tinnitus much good either.
