You will need to provide the sources for this information, since you claim it references tinnitus reduction through DBS.

Interesting, these last two posts from @BuzzyBee and @MindOverMatter. They present completely opposing viewpoints on reactive tinnitus. What is even more interesting is that both come from experienced sufferers. When tinnitus sufferers cannot agree on their experiences and how to manage them...

There is no mention of tinnitus or hyperacusis in this article. High-energy ultraSOUND focused on the brain, I think, would more likely present danger for tinnitus/hyperacusis.

A hearing test or a hearing aid will not help reactive tinnitus. In fact, they can have the opposite effect. The tones from a hearing test, which may be played up to 100 dB if required, are likely to make tinnitus worse, possibly causing severe spikes or even permanent worsening. A hearing...

This is reactive tinnitus. Your brain is trying to fill in the sound gaps from the damaged hearing cells, but it is not doing a good job of it.

So your tinnitus became reactive, and you managed to calm down to a better place? You've said nothing of how you achieved this. Has your reactivity changed at all?

I think reactive tinnitus is caused by damage-beyond-damage. Your brain hears a lot of different frequencies from 'traffic-noise'. The brain is perhaps filling in the spaces for the numerous frequencies you have lost hearing, hence the reaction. This is similar to how the blindspot in your...

Has vacuuming with earmuffs on ever affected your tinnitus before?

I quoted @Rainer, saying his statement was crucial (post #7). You then wrote (in your next sentence): My question for you @MindOverMatter; how can you tell a person that they "don't know" what they are talking about when all they've done is quote from a person that you "agree with"?

The above is the most crucial paragraph of this entire thread.

If you read my posting, you'll see I am referring to NON-audible frequencies, beyond that of human hearing and therefore beyond that of a decibel (sound) meter.

EMF exacerbates tinnitus, that's my opinion. I've said this in a previous posting. TMS treatment will be extreme EMF.

This is a good success story for tinnitus resolution. It’s especially encouraging, as it shows that tinnitus can reduce over time, the hope of every person who lives with it. Thank you for sharing your experience in such detail and for updating regularly. I wish you well.

It’s as if your tinnitus has a delayed reaction to noise exposure, or rather to the artificial amplification of noise. This often happens to those with reactive tinnitus. It’s interesting that the hearing aids are making your tinnitus worse. Can you turn the volume down a bit? Do the hearing...

@Bashy74, have you tried listening to other music?
