Hi Swampy, A little more than two weeks ago my left ear started acting just like you described it (and for no special reason). A high pitch spike in my left ear that reacts with an even higher pitch to certain ambient sounds. How has this progressed for you? Are you still experiencing this or...

Done!

Bob Marley (the comedian), Lous C.K., Natasha Leggero, Robin Williams (R.I.P.), Mike Birbiglia, Demetri Martin, Brian Regan to name a few... There are many more but these are my favorites at the moment.

Hi Jade! Thanks for the wonderful post, it brings hope to all of us. I am a long time sufferer (16years) and I have been able to deal with T pretty well during the years. I recently got a terrible spike that really has me on the edge, my motivation and calm are all gone at the moment. I am...

I believe that there are far more musicians with tinnitus then we know. I just don't think everyone are open about it, that's why I love people like Grimes because they give hope to all sufferers. I often think about the bands that I grew up with (for example all the rock bands of the 80's)...

"Johnny Depp and wife Amber Heard joined forces to do some good to people who cannot hear." "The couple, as well as band members Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, Bruce Witkin and Tommy Henriksen teamed up with the Starkey Hearing Foundation to distribute hearing aids to over...

http://www.engadget.com/2015/10/09/blue-brain-project-simulation/ "the team revealed a breakthrough that has already provided insight into sleep, memory and neurological disorders." Not aimed at tinnitus but could maybe lead to new discoveries as well due to the fact that they are looking at...

Really sorry to hear. I've met people who have been totally ignorant on the issues of T. I would talk to them about living with tinnitus and they smile and nod and seem interested, I even offered them earplugs to wear when clubbing etc... Never once have I seen these people protecting their...

If you find it helpful please let us know :) Thought I'd look for it at my local coffe/tea shop. I like that it's suppose to calm the central nervous system, but that's maybe true for many kinds of tea? I'm not really a tea expert :)

@Danny Boy , Do you know anything about a tea named Yerba Maté? It contains (among other things) vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and manganese. "Mate is a healthy and stimulating drink, with roughly 35 milligrams of caffeine per 8 oz. serving. Yerba Maté is an appetite suppressant, also high in...

I agree that the tinnitus research will target both acute and chronic. Think of the number of war veterans that returns home witch chronic tinnitus... Also the number of people affected by tinnitus increases every day, so good treatments (or even a cure) will come.

Is this the same thing? http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/07/150716124118.htm

Cool, I know that bluberries are rich in antioxidants so it's not impossible that they affect some types of tinnitus.

For how long have you been eating them? Are you buying them or do you pick them yourself?
