Hey Thomas-
My tinnitus is still pretty active. Especially at night. I'm hoping in time I will feel as you do. I have times when it calms down and I feel I can deal with this. Other times it seems to flare up loud and my nerves start to get to me. It has only been a little over a month. I don't know how to get to that point when you don't think about it and it goes into the background. That is what people keep telling me, but it seems impossible.

Joe,
Yes, after just a month you are unlikely to see (or rather hear) much of a progress. It usually takes 3-6 months before things improve and become less of a problem, so you have to be patient. Just take things from day to day for the time being and don't be too discouraged by bad patches. They will still occur for a while to come. Try to draw encouragement from the good periods. They should also give you some orientation which way to go with whatever measures you are applying.

Hi Thomas-
It's been almost 3 months now, give or take a couple of weeks. Someone suggested using the supplement NAC to preclude the severity of the symptoms.
Do you take any supplements. I'm already taking magnesium,zinc, ginko and B12. I'm feeling at little better since the onset of this but not sure if I should take this NAC stuff along with the other supplements. Also still on Ativan and am investing in some sound generator hearing aids to take the edge off. The person said if you catch it within 3 months the NAC can really help. Ever heard of anyone using this? Hope all is well with you.

Hi Joe,
Good to hear from you again.
You really would have to try yourself whether NAC works for you. Even if some people have tried it (I can't remember having com across it in this forum), their experience may not be relevant for you, That holds for most things in connection with tinnitus.
