Hey guys, I haven't been on here for a while but thought I would chime in and just add some more info in case someone in a position to help reads this. First a bit of a background: Got audio based tinnitus a few years ago by spending too many hours in a row recording music. Pulled out my in-ear...

So just to give everyone a heads up, it took about 3 days since it came back last week to get silence again, and as of last Friday it's been basically nonexistent since. Since this took place it's almost as if it's reversed. I have gotten more silence days than T days. And when it did come back...

That's definitely the million dollar question. Yeah, I don't know if it's really like that last example, that's just what it felt like to me. That's why I say, that once T gets going, it seems like it moves into the auditory cortex and some other parts of your brain and then beyond that...

So I want to give you all an update. Today I napped for 3 hours and my T is back to its normal self after the nap, about a 3-4/10 in my left and 1-2/10 in my right. And this is pretty typical T for me, which no longer bothers me. I am only paying attention to it right now, because I had silence...

Yeah I think it very well may. I'm pretty sure that's what happened to me. If I were to upload the whistling sound i was working on, and I won't since even now I think it can do damage, any person would go "yep that would do it". There is a danger in earbuds and noise cancelling headphones...

Well I have had plenty of sessions like this with speakers over the past 2 years, but I also never tried it at a high enough volume with speakers, since I can't. It never happened with speakers. I think the earbuds working may have something to do with them block all outside sound also which...

Yes I know. It was composed by multiple people actually but most people don't know that. Kenny Wayne Shepherd is the name of the band under which the song is released so it's like saying "Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit vocals" so I was referring to it in that sense. Great song!

Both of those things can help, since they are all parts leading to the auditory cortex, but I don't know if that will be enough. The auditory cortex is ultimately where I believe a big part of the problem lies but I don't know if it's simply limited to that once tinnitus gets going. And there...

If you look through my history I have many posts and exchanges with other members where we talk about many different types of sound based therapies that work. I don't think there is anything fluky about work or therapy. Sometimes it just takes hard work and in this case we don't fully...

I have stopped trying to treat my tinnitus 2 years ago. I moved on from it a long time ago. It has little effect on my life anymore, except on some rare occurrences when it gets louder or I get overly tired. I'm only here taking about this because it just happened to be loud all last week, and...

At this point I feel you are arguing for the sake of arguing and not even taking the time to read. It's not spontaneous in the least. My silence is regular, and anyone that's taken the time to read through my history will see me document sound based methods from the onset that have always...

Again that's pretty easy to disprove by simply applying stress/relief to one ear only and observing the phenomenon in both. While I agree that nerves may be involved in some ways, like I say, a missing connection, T for most of us, is beyond the ear. And what I describe is an overexposure to...

Well yeah initially I'm sure it was that, as I stated that's how I got it. But while that may explain the final trigger, that doesn't explain Tinnitus or people's experiences. For example at the moment I am experiencing 100% complete silence. If it was as simple as a physical problem, my...

By the way, I suppose I should also tell you what to do in case you want to try and see if it works for you. But do it at your own risk, since this is how I got my tinnitus in the first place. While you can do it at a low volume, most of us with tinnitus learned, volume may not be the only thing...

Hey guys, I haven't logged in an while and there's probably a lot of new members but today I had an interesting revelation and felt the need to share it. To make a long story short I got tinnitus a few years back composing music with earbuds on, playing around with high frequency songs, and...
