linearb: It would be possible to store medical data in an anonymous way. BUT there are many signs that the medical industry dont really want peoples diseases to be cured. By economical reasons or poilitical. Thats why im very sceptical about waiting for the tinnitus cure. If you ask any higher...

Yeah thats my thought also. Its impossible to know but we all want to know.

Loud music is nothing new actually. There was a lot of rock music on high levels in the 70s (i was not born then but, ive done some research). The walkman was invented 1984 so the mp3players are not anything new. If tinnitus is increasing among the population of the world, the reason must be...

Question: Is there a tinnitus epidemic in the world today? i.e. Is there more people with tinnitus today comparing to the 70s and onwards ? Is tinnitus becoming more and more common ? Does anybody have any facts or data about this ?

Interesting! then i might drop the microradiation-theory. Since its hard to accept a handicap such as this, its easy to find things to blame.. I guess its a part of our survival instincts.. You know that you get damaged/beeing attacked by something and you want to localize and neutralize the...

Jesse, One more thing..If higher frequencies are more dangerous.. What about the micro radiation that we are bombarded with everyday.. They have an incredible intensity even if we dont hear it.. I dont see any rational explanation that, putting a strong high frequiency-device next to your...

Jesse, Amplitude make sens.. But then its really hard to tell when the amplutude of a frequency is harmful. The higher frequencies can actually be painful to the ear when the volume is high enough. But the bass never hurt, it just feels good. When i think back on it, the bass frequencies ive...

Soulstation: I should really try the foam type.. Since the ER does not do the trick really

Yeah thats what i also thought. Im a little bit afraid that the spike wont recide some day, you know. Just like i got tinnitus in the first place. The tinnitus gets louder and the brain remembers the new level of tinnitus and it gets permanent. Scary stuff

I have two questions: 1: Which causes most damage on our hearing, high or low frequencies of sound? Lets say that i protect my ears when i go to the concert och club, but there is still an amount of low frequencies that the earprotection does not stop. 2: How is it that my tinnitus is higher...

Hey Music lover!=) Your teacher was right! My tinnitus started in my left ear (the one that is closest to the volin) and its still the "damaged one" after all this years. The violin is a wonderful, wonderful invention still, but i guess that some peoples ears are just not strong enough to handle...

We are really in a similar situation. I hope it gets better for us both.. Anger is a nice feeling. At least i dont feel hopeless when anger is present.. How does habituation work ? Is it physical thing (background noises etc) or is it psychotherapy related? Can i do TRT my self, with books...

Nice to hear that youre still able to compose! Composing is really a worthy task in this universe.. Good luck with the recording then!

Yeah, seriously, if i can keep doin my work then ill put up with almost everything (even a constant hiss inside the head.. can you imagine? hehe.. ). It helps to laugh at this wierd condition sometimes.. I mean, if you think about it.. and drugs, no thanks.. There will be no high performance...

Thanks for the reply both of you! Im a composer and also play violin and piano. Since its my profession im quite in a situation here. But ill start with spending a few more days on the forum here. Trying to get a better picture of whats goin on here. I live in Europe so my next task is to...
