I use one of the many noise apps in the iTunes Store. Don't want to name them by name and appear to be promoting one other the other. They are all mostly the same. Just pic one that lets you blend your own sound so you can experiment with what works for you best. For me is a blend of crickets...

Sorry so late, haven't been here for a while. Hope you are better soon.

Yes.

I know its an old comment but me too.

Hummmm. That's a new one on me. If it doesn't go away shortly I'd probably see a doctor.

I have tone T in my left ear (2 tones actually) with tone and pulsatile T in my right. The tone in my right ear is single and faint.

This time of year is tough on people, everyone is "going through it". We all have different ways of dealing. You just have to ignore negative people and stay positive.

My own ENT in the Bronx is good with ear infections but unfortunately he is in the "you have to just deal with it" camp when it comes to tinnitus. Same with my regular doctor. I did get a recommendation for an ENT here in NJ. Seth Kanowitz MD...

As well you should. There will always be members here that push only their own negative view of recovery. I feel it is based on their own anger and frustration which they have every right to of course. Their projection however can be unnerving. It often manifest itself and presenting opinion as...

Then I google their names to see if they pop up in any local forums with recommendations or horror stories. My neighborhood has an awesome forum where I get the...

If your doctor is just looking into your ear canal with a otoscope then he/she is only seeing a fraction of the picture. Plenty of structures behind the eardrum that can be subject to infection or disease. Perhaps ask you physician what criteria are they using to rule out some sort of inner ear...

Here's one that I think is extremely important. Do not start eliminating everything from your life because someone else tells you it makes tinnitus worse. I think this is one of the key factors that drive people towards depression. This is not to say that if you are under the care of a medical...

My flat tone I think I may have been born with. I don't ever remember not hearing it. My high pitch tone developed around when I finished undergrad in 92. It's the one I am talking about whenever I'm discussing T and is really the bothersome one. My pulsatile tinnitus I just got with an ear...

Mine fluctuates quite a bit, tone and volume. Every once I a while I get a tone that is downright tolerable.
