If you had no results, why are you still using it? And there seem to be several different products made by Neuromonics. I don't know if this new one, the Tinnitus Alleviator, is different from all the others.

I know I've heard that from others. Has no one had any success with it?

I just got an email yesterday from Neuromonics Inc about their new "Tinnitus Alleviator" now available for use with IPads and IPhones. you can get a free one week trial so I signed up and tried it last night. I can find virtually no information about it, as I have several questions and just...

I take Ambien nightly for sleep. I know I've been taking it way too long but had insomnia before T and since I got T I cant sleep at all without it. At this point I'd rather get sleep and deal with the long term side effects of Ambien in the future, if I have to.

I admit I'm conflicted about him and don't want to get into a therapy session here. i can see I'm pushing many buttons. All the time I've been in this group I've never gotten so many replies, but that's good. I'm glad people are responding, for whatever reasons. I can't fully answer...

There's more to the situation that I have explained, but it doesnt have to do with tinnitus. I have a very good reason for leaving him, one that should have made me walk away years ago. I never could bring myself to do so until now. I could stick by him if it weren't for this other problem...

I brought up the pill bottle as an example of how extreme his behavior has become. There is almost nothing we can do together anymore because of his fear of sound. He doesnt go out except where necessary. And I have been very supportive until now. Actually I have never said anything that...

And what's the story of Gaby Olthuis? Btw, I have tried to get him to get some help for a long time but he doesnt think there's anything he can do. True? I realize there's no cure for T and that's all he can wrap his head around. I don't want to see him end up like this--see the case...

Ok. Sorry, you guys. I'm not sure he has hyperacusis though. I've done some research on that and it doesn't sound the same. I thought with hyperacusis one is just very sensitive to sound, but not that it spikes one's tinnitus and makes it worse for awhile. Correct me if I'm wrong. I agree...

It's not that I am not sympathetic to his problems, because I have tinnitus too and have had it a lot less time that he has. He's had it for 10 years, me for only 8 months, but I think I have habituated much better than he has. I guess he habituated to it fine until about a year ago, although...

He feels like he doesnt have hyperacusis, although I've wondered. I thought I had it for a few days when I had a cold. My ears were suddenly much more sensitive to sound for a few days, then they went back to my normal tinnitus. He says that noises don't bother him except for the fact that...

My boyfriend and I both have tinnitus. Me--just 5 months Him--10 years. He wears earplugs all the time and walks around holding his ears closed when outside, if he doesnt have earmuffs on. He avoids all noise of even a normal level because he says it can potentially spoke his T and he's...

What is this all about? I joined the list recently and I havent a clue. YOu need volunteers for some research study? WHere? WIth my tinnitus and vertigo, it's difficult to wade through all the posts to figure this out. Maybe that's true for a lot of us.

So what is brown noise? I would like to try some sort of masking. I got a free month's use of Starkey but it is way too expensive to purchase. I also dont have a smart phone so am not able to download the apps recommended above. Can you get any of the on the computer?

I have tinnitus, vertigo and migraine. I am thinking about buying a neck massager from Sharper Image, but I noticed one review that said it might not be good to use if you have inner ear issues, which I assume I have, at least because of the tinnitus, if not the vertigo as well. Any thoughts...
