    Pulsatile Tinnitus — Now on Tinnitus Talk

    Karen, a new acquaintance told me her pulsatile T probably arise after years of being nervous and tense on her job. I wonder if there is a correlation with those born with nervous disposition and pulsatile T. If nothing could be found on the scans, could it be somewhere along the other...

    Colloidal Silver Causes Argyria (Grey Skin)?

    Markku, it's the Lingzhi mushroom and a popular type of tonic tablets Pei Feng pills for nourishing the body. Adverse reaction in form of severe dermis eruptions. Everyone else has only praise for these, as the ads goes. The inflammed skin got easily agitated a few months on, till the body...

    Some says this Rosemary Jacobs never use the type of CS sold on the market these days, which are safe. So many types 0-o http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/reports.html The reason I'm staying miles off it is due to having poor but thankfully reversible outcome from 2 other types of...

    Failed Hearing Test (above 8,000 hz)

    Both Neuromonics and Widex Zen offered hearing test above 8,000 hz. Another clinic audiologist warned however, that hearing test gets unstable beyond 8,000 hz. Since my T is at 12,000 hz, Widex tested me for 10-16,000 hz range. Unlike 0-8,000 hz, they don't have pooh, tor, porp, or warble...

    MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Discussion & Experiences & Questions

    Same ok experience with MRI. Checked out open MRI but image isn't as sharp, which defeats the purpose considering how many cases with sharp images already have missed or misinterpreted readings. So I asked for latest type closed MRI. Forewarned about claustophobia, 3 techs worked very fast...

    Something Positive — Please Read

    Yes, Click, you're right. (I wrote that in a huff and rushed, a lot of typo errors.) When I speak of 'firmly entrenched and permanently so', I was referring only to those friends who still hear T despite never ever having any adverse reaction to it. In fact one of them told me she loves noises...

    Something Positive — Please Read

    This is my own experience. Of course, it is completely subjective, and not posted to dispute or disrespects others who has different outlook from their T, especially as T has different causation factors: Whether I identify the T sound on a rational level or not, and whether I believe it is a...

    When There's External Sound of the Same Tinnitus Pitch

    Several times, I got confused when I hear the T sound, and someone else says they hear the same, and oh, it's coming from that TV or that external device, etc. So apparently, there are quite a lot of external sounds that sounds an exact copy of my T. It's just that ever since having the T...

    I'm Gutted tonight - rejected for ANM as I'm too anxious...

    Pete, despite the increased volume, making it tough to habituate, do you still find yourself able to not hear it a large percentage of the time due to distraction etc.? Did you find out the cause for the suddenly increased volume?

    MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Discussion & Experiences & Questions

    A little confusion about why one should be wary of ELF magnetic fields coming off pylons, transformers, water pipes, earthing cables, etc... Yet we are told magnetic and radio waves coming of the MRI scanners are save - though it's x0,000 x more powerful? Eg. About.com assures as follows --...

    Tinnitus Pro: Music Therapy iPhone App

    Thanks, Danny! US$10 is an ok price to experience what notched music is all about. When you say you play songs that you know have a lot of hi freq sounds in them, does that mean gentle songs or classical music are ruled out? Do you use the app to identify the appropriate songs? Do we provide...

    The Tao of Tinnitus

    calin, you mentioned that yours started from the feet and travel up. I'm not sure mine started the same way, though it could if you consider that I was actually walking away from the acupunturist, feeling no effect whatsoever at first, when all of a sudden, a force of energy broke through in the...
