    Hearing Aids Provide Immense Relief to Tinnitus

    I got my tinnitus 3 years ago after the first week of taking Lexapro and then Celexa. Of course, I can't prove either caused my tinnitus, but the timing is suspicious. My doctor had recommended I try them to deal with severe anxiety I was having. Anyway the high pitched screeching in my ears...

    Tinnitus Going Away! B12 Was Deficient

    I had just a B12 vitamin sub-lingual from the local grocery store. I think it was Nature Made.

    Tinnitus Going Away! B12 Was Deficient

    I forget since I stopped taking it, but it was 1,000mg i think and it was sublingual. I found it at the local grocery store.I only took it for a few months. But ya, took it daily.

    TRT and CBT Success

    Hearing aids + TRT +CBT = semi cured mine. I can't really hear my tinnitus anymore while wearing hearing aids. If they are out, I can after a long time. It's been almost a year and it was loud AF in the beginning.

    Tinnitus Going Away! B12 Was Deficient

    I think a lot of people are low on B12. I was still in the normal range, but some people have issues when on the lower end of normal. If I was below 200, I would be worried I had some other issue going on, but my doc isn't too worried. Also, I eat plenty of meat, but drink alcohol too everyday...

    How far are you into yours? Don't lose hope. Eventually you should get used to it and it becomes nothing. I've got friends that had it screaming in their heads, and don't even notice it anymore. They too, have to search for it to find it.

    Tinnitus Going Away! B12 Was Deficient

    Oh my gosh! Yes, thankfully I'm still considered in the "normal" range. Just the low end of it. The diseases you mentioned above are really for people under 200 pg/ml. But yes, glad I checked my levels, seriously think b12 supplements are helping.

    Tinnitus Going Away! B12 Was Deficient

    Hi, I've had it for 8 months now, and started seeing improvements around 5 months. Although the improvements have been SOOOOO slow so hard to pinpoint when it happened. If you think in terms of months rather than days, you'll get an idea of the speed of my improvements. I stopped measuring in...

    Tinnitus Going Away! B12 Was Deficient

    Thanks, I'm not trying to brag or anything. And to be clear, I do still have T. I posted this so other people get their vitamin deficiency's checked out. I didn't know B12 deficiency could cause T! Maybe it could cure others if they had T caused by a vitamin deficiency too.

    Seven Months Update. A Huge Relief. Don't Lose Hope.

    Have you seen a audiologist? They got these hearing aids now that are amazing! They completely mask the T when it acts up. And have built in TRT therapy. I think they really helped me initially. Check out the new Widex Evoke hearing aids. Could really boost your quality of life.

    Tinnitus Going Away! B12 Was Deficient

    So, I am having major, and I mean major reductions in my severe tinnitus. It's gone from screaming in my head, to a faint high pitched sound I can only really hear if I don't have my hearing aids in and other sounds bring it out. When I do hear it, it's soooo much lower in volume. I recently...

    Try listening to this on a laptop while you sleep. Works for a lot of people.

    My Tinnitus Has More or Less Been Gone for Four Months

    I agree on letting your body do its thing. I'm 8 months in and it has gone down a lot. Still annoying though, but I'll count my blessings. The key is let your body do its thing and don't do anything to make anything worse.

    Tinnitus Gone After 2 Years for a Member of My Family

    @Kritish Gooriah sent me a message in French. I translated it and posted below: Good morning, I don't have much more detail. It was while talking with my mother, that I learned that her cousin had had tinnitus for 2 years, before (Tinnitus) disappeared. She apparently used a cotton swab to...

    Oh no worries at all! I just wanted to understand what you were trying to say. Do you want to write it in French and I'll translate it for you and post it here in English?
