Hi, I want to give you some reassurance that you will get better. I understand how frightening it is as I experienced exactly what you’re describing. There are many other people here who have also recovered to a much better place. The tinnitus will hopefully settle down over time, the distress...

Yeah, there's a layer of softer noise that's much more in my head than ears. The other sound is high pitch that moves from side to side, I experience that one more in the ears. But my tinnitus isn't stationary. It moves around and fluctuates, the sounds also changes in character at times. As...

Yeah I still do but not as much.

Treatments were Lenire (my take on it is that it 'might' be of 'some' help to 'some' people. I've talked about this before but, just to reiterate, I had 8 tinnitus sounds pre-treatment, 2 tinnitus sounds post-treatment. It also stopped my ear spasms almost immediately. I've found mindfulness...

You'll habituate because the tinnitus will hopefully subside over time. The problem is that it's very distressing in the first months and beyond (was for me). I don't necessarily subscribe to the view that stress 'causes' tinnitus but I've found chronic anxiety and fear can drive the volume and...

Magnesium and Opti-Turmeric both from the brand HealthSpan, Zinc also from time to time. Magnesium might help a little with sleep but it's a combination of things. I'd like to get into NAD, it's just expensive to maintain. There's a guy named Gregory Scott who is known in PRO AUDIO circles for...

Hi David. I used to have a cluster of sounds, high frequency, reactive, pulsatile and ear spasms. Nothing masked or helped them. I still a have a pitch sound that fluctuates and moves from side to side, but I have some days when I'm less aware of it. So I can watch TV or walk my dog and not...

Hi Travis, sounds very much like you're in tinnitus crisis, I know exactly what that feels like and how, frankly, terrifying it is. Hopefully the ringing will subside to a more tolerable level over time and you'll adjust. Your brain will start to filter the tinnitus out bit by bit but it can...

I had been taking Trazodone for a few weeks when my tinnitus started. It could have been a coincidence. The thing I find odd is that I've been regularly exposed to loud music for 35 years and never had ringing after a gig or night out and I've stood next to a wall of speakers in tiny clubs in...

I had terrible tinnitus for 2.5 years. It's not as bad now. I went back to making music in my home studio. I do use headphones but at sensible levels and take ear breaks. I figured that if multi millionaire professional musicians with tinnitus (there's loads of them) use in-ear monitoring...

I have tried that a few times yeah, not recently though. I still use Will Sedley's sound therapy every day. I've found it pretty helpful but I've listened to it for hundreds of hours.

Coffee seems to help my tinnitus at times. For some people it can cause anxiety and that could alter your perception of tinnitus temporarily.

I did it in quiet room, no background noise, lying on bed or floor and you just anchor your attention to your breathing, when your mind wanders just draw it back to your breathing. Try and focus on the sensation of air coming in through your nose and your belly going up and down. I forced...

Lenire might help a little. Before I used it, my brain was locked to my tinnitus. What happens now is that I'm drawn towards other sounds, like my own footsteps, the crunch of leaves, birds, traffic, wind, chatter. Hopefully Dr. Shore's device will be better, I will definitely try and get it...

Things are significantly better now, thanks. How are you doing?
