I'm looking for a doctor myself now that I am back in LA. I'll let you know if I find anyone that seems good. I had a tough time finding a decent doctor in Australia.

@racedy, I'm heading into 1 year soon. I have had some good days, and some bad days. Currently in a bit of a spike so I find myself back here. I've gone months not letting it get to me and so I try and stay off this site. I mostly head to the Success Stories when I login for some modicum of...

@Vii, was your tinnitus in your ear, or in your head, or both? If the in your head question does not make sense: My tinnitus is not really focused in one particular ear, but it feels like it is in the back of my head.

Online at bulknutrients.com.au (link not directly working). Weird thing is, I don't think they have it anymore. I bought it back in May, but nothing listed on their website anymore.

@Zaimon I totally understand, I've done (and am still doing) the same. A couple of things that I have found that made moderate improvements to add to your list: - Fasting (18/6 hours) - Vestibular tinnitus treatment with Chiropractor (this may just be because the stress of tinnitus is wreaking...

@Zaimon Hello! Looks like you have as high a frequency head tinnitus as I do (I am at 13.5 kHz). Just wanted to drop in my 2 cents because Picamilon is available to me here in Australia (which is basically GABA that can pass the blood brain barrier). It doesn't help my head tinnitus at all.

@Bertman Hello! Did your Christmas party spike ever subside?

3 week spike in progress. Not sure if this is the new normal. A little nervous.

I performed the Valsalva 3 weeks ago, and immediately have been experiencing a spike. So far I'm going on 3 weeks of consistently louder ringing, and strangely my diet now affects my tinnitus where it did not before. It's always head based bilateral tinnitus. Trying to not let this freak me...

@Tonya Yeah, head tinnitus is hard to explain to people who thinks it’s always ear based. When you say something dislodged from the mineral oil, did something physically come out of your ears, or was it a sensation of something dislodging? And thank you for taking the time to reply to my...

@iwanttosurvive Did the ringing from the olive oil drops ever die down? I am considering mineral oil or olive oil, but that sounds like it might be a bit dangerous given your experience.

@Tonya Was your tinnitus based in your ears primarily, or was it also head tinnitus? (head tinnitus being something that feels almost between your ears.)

@Cher69 I have had a relatively similar experience happen to me. For the duration of my tinnitus (6 months), I have had a bilateral head tinnitus tone at around 13.5 kHz. I am fairly certain I have ETD, so 2 weeks ago I was trying a Nasonex/valsalva maneuver from a YouTube post here. Ever since...

I just wanted to add a word of caution to this thread. I tried the valsalva technique in the video above, and am on week 2 of a serious spike. It is worse than before. My tinnitus was non-reactive to my diet, but now if I drink caffeine, or have too much salt on my fries it goes through the...
