Re: What has helped you?

[Guest guest]

I have been working with an auidologist and an ENT recently. The ENT believes medication will help, as he has me on blood pressure medication to relive what he diagnosed as a connection to chronic migraines.

I can't say I'm seeing benefits with noise sensitivity, but it has reduced te headaches.

I have been taking Zoloft for many years. It makes a big difference for me in the anxiety side of things. It's cheap, too.

The audiologist recommends the in-ear generators, but the ENT doesn't agree. I'm not sure which way to head. I'd be interested in everyones perspective here.

Thanks

We need to stay positive. There's a blessing in disguise here somewhere!

The white noise generators Doc offers helped a bit before they went ker-plooey. I'm definitely a lot more tolerant of loudness now.

= M-F.

Even if it's something that has only helped marginally, it's a start, particularly as cures are few. What has helped me is acceptance. When I hear a noise that makes me jump or makes me anxious, I accept it and realise that no matter how angry or anxious I become, the noise will always exist and anxiety is not a way to eradicate it. Acceptance is hard but effective. Mindfulness is also very helpful.
