    My 3rd Success Story with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    Indeed, the goal is not to overprotect. It's not even recommended, you have to let sound in at a correct level so that your brain gets used to it and, in my opinion, those who have reactive tinnitus, have to let sounds in even more. Not easy because I remember that even the slightest sound could...

    My 3rd Success Story with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    Hi. Sorry, I was abroad... Regarding hearing aids, I have a slight correction in the high frequencies (> 8000 Hz) but what helps me the most is the white noise at a very low level, at the frequency of my tinnitus. This white noise is located around a frequency of 10 kHz (TRT concept). It's not...

    My 3rd Success Story with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    Hey, During my first hyperacusis crisis, around 2010, I remember I used pink noise. But later, during the new hyperacusis crisis (2 more), pink noise disturbed me so I used white noise with a frequency close to my tinnitus (around 8-10 kHz) but at a very low volume. My tinnitus is tonal, not...

    My 3rd Success Story with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    Reactive tinnitus was not easy for me either. I think it was the most difficult part to manage. TRT sound therapy helped me. You have to find the right level and the right sound that suits you. If possible, with the help of a specialist. Reactive tinnitus seems to be a symptom of hyperacusis...

    My 3rd Success Story with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    @tniuf, my initial sound in 2008 was a pure sound very high pitch of 8 kHz. Then when I got those "crisis spikes," I got new sounds; white noise mixed with a high pitch sound, like the sound of a jet taking off. I could hear the sound all over my head and not just on the left side. But the good...

    My 3rd Success Story with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    I made this post because I share your opinion 100%. When I go through difficult times, even with the experience I have been able to acquire during these 14 years, it does me a lot of good to read success stories and it reminds me that even if we are feeling low and suffering greatly, with time...

    My 3rd Success Story with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    @tniuf, thank you :) Yes, I felt kind of guilty, blamed myself, and then I told myself, this is what it is, I have to accept it. It won't change anything. This is why I want to spread the message to any new tinnitus sufferers and others to protect their ears and not make the same mistake as...

    My 3rd Success Story with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    Hi. No, mainly on the left side. But sometimes all over my head. Kind of pain. Don't protect your ears too much at a minimum noise level (restaurant , street noise...) to heal the hyperacusis. YES, at the beginning of each crisis, and with time the reactivity becomes less reactive. I am...

    My 3rd Success Story with Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    I am writing this 3rd tinnitus success story today in order to give hope and help to those who are currently in a difficult period. It is very difficult for those who have not experienced “severe” tinnitus to understand the distress in which we find ourselves during these periods of “crises”. I...

    Lenire — User Experiences and Reviews

    I stopped using Lenire 2-3 weeks ago, probably because my tinnitus was generally better (good and bad days), with bad days more manageable but still bothersome. Hard to say if it was due to Lenire? I got 3 bad days last week and decided to start using Lenire again, at least 30 minutes/day for...

    Lenire — User Experiences and Reviews

    Here is an update of my Lenire experience: I have been using Lenire for about 1 month. Doing two 30 minute sessions per day is not easy, so I rather try to do a 1 hour session at a time. After each session I have an increase of my tinnitus. Sometimes on good days I have to motivate myself to...

    Botox 70% Success Rate as a Tinnitus Treatment!?

    Hello, I come back to you on this thread because I finally had an injection of Botox in the muscles of my jaws and temples a month ago (as per the articles I posted above). The intervention was not painful at all. To tell the truth, I did not feel anything. I do not know if this helped with...
