Today my T is a little bit quieter than the last days but my anxiety is still at the top. I should be more relaxed but I am not seeing that T can be reduced. Any advice?

My wife is always looking for something that can assist me on this "T" journey. I do have a neck issue and when I turn my head to the left the volume of my "T" increases so she came across this group and the post was about this product - Transform the Way You Sleep Tonight Our Doréve Cloudfaser™ Tinnitus Relief Pillow is designed to decompress your cervical spine, align your C1/C2 vertebrae, and help you stay comfortably positioned all night long. - Promotes C1/C2 decompression – where tinnitus originates - Butterfly NECK-CRADLE™ design for deeper rest - Wake up calm, clear-headed, and pain-free - Removable, washable cover for easy care - Looking for some feedback pls and ty.

I haven’t been able to nap for 14 months, but today I finally got an hour in—and now my tinnitus is on full alert. Is this normal? I’m using my tools to get it back under control, but I’m curious if anyone else experiences this after taking a nap.?

Of all the anxiety and suffering I experience with tinnitus, the worst for me is the spike I get around 5am when I reawake , which cuts my sleep short by about 1 hour and then the spike continues for many hours sometimes all of the day. If I do sleep a little longer or deeper or take more sleep drugs the spike is sometimes shorter or not as loud but this has been rare.. If I leave the bed it sometimes calms down somewhat immediately but I'm exhausted and would have preferred silence and rest in bed from 5 to 8am. Any tips, ideas or what is going on ? Is it a sensitized system or it's just a bad loop that keeps repeating due to something else I'm doing wrong or thinking the day and night before ?

Hi folks, I'd love to hear your opinions and views on this post. It concerns a guy named Dr. Keith N. Darrow, a "neuroscientist," who operates a practice called the Hearing & Brain Centers of America, which has offices around the country - including my state of Massachusetts. I was thinking of making an appointment until I started doing research on Dr. Darrow, and what I found was a little concerning to say the least because what he says about Tinnitus seems to go against everything I've read about the condition. For example: *He says "hearing loss is Tinnitus, and Tinnitus is hearing loss." *He says Tinnitus is harmful and a "progressive degeneration of the neural system connecting the ears to the brain. Deficits in the neural network can impact memory/mental health, increase your risk of dementia and raise your chances of a traumatic fall." *He also says if you don't treat your Tinnitus "it will get worse. And if you properly treat your Tinnitus, the odds are in your favor (90%) that you will notice a marked reduction on your Tinnitus, and you will likely have less Tinnitus." He also seems to downplay the effectiveness of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy, CBT and Sound Therapy, saying the only thing that actually helps people with Tinnitus is what he calls "prescriptive treatment technology," in which he claims patients can expect a 90% reduction in their Tinnitus." That technology - Darrow’s NeuroTechnology™ (often utilized through the Hearing and Brain Centers of America) - costs between $2,000 and $8,000. It is marketed as an advanced, brain-focused alternative to traditional hearing aids, often available through inclusive monthly subscription plans or specialized treatment packages. I may be off base here, but this guy appears to be using fear mongering to scare people into buying an $8,000 device. I also STRONGLY disagree with his claim that Tinnitus is harmful and that it gets progressively worse. Everything I've read says that Tinnitus is NOT harmful and that a vast majority of people with Tinnitus DO NOT get worse.
