So I thought I'd take this opportunity to ask if anyone suffers from Tinnitus and what you might do to help you cope with it. I have had [url=http://www.tinnitus.org.uk/]Tinnitus[/url] for about fifteen years now, so you'd think I would have grown accustomed to it by now. There are a lot of theories as to the underlying causes for this torment but I've yet to hear any helpful information from anyone about treatmant, by helpful I mean a treatment that actually works. The usual approach is "I'm afraid you will just have to learn to live with it". To help me "Live with it" I've decided to try to eliminate any other nasty reasons for the noise by having a MRI scan. That scan was a buzz too :) I was strapped down to a stretcher and [i]loaded[/i] into a huge round electro magnet about 20 feet in diameter. I have not had the results back yet they are due in March but once they (hopefully) find no gremlins in my head I can carry on with cognitive retraining my perceptions. I've been told some people use a sound masking device that helps sufferers reduce that noise for hours at a time but I don't actually know anyone who has tried it. I can't upload any stuff here where I am but I've made a MP3 of a noise that closely resembles the noise in my head. If you can imagine the sound of steam escaping under pressure mixed with a slowly modulating tone at about the 9000mhz range . It is constant, never stopping for one moment in fifteen years. Most of the time I will have the radio on in the background to distract my attention as a coping measure but I'd love to hear from anyone who has found other ways of getting over this. Hell, I'd just feel a little reassured knowing that I am not alone with this awful silent noise. Apart from this though I am in rude good health as I hope all my fellow asylumites are.
