I do not even bother reading these product reviews. Tinnitus is what it is, and for now, habituation and sound masking are pretty much all we have. But imagine if we did not even have those. This is one of those medical conditions where having an optimistic mindset can really make a difference.

Every day, disastrous—and likely illegal and criminal—decisions are being made by Donald Trump and his allies, including his associate Musk. I am working on a three-step plan to escape the terrible damage being done to this country. First, two months from now, I will be living in Corpus...

It is going to be difficult, if not impossible, to come up with a meaningful answer based on just one tinnitus website. Another issue is that only a small percentage of the population has reported tinnitus or is even aware of it. As much as we suffer, research into conditions like cancer and...

When I first developed tinnitus, I went to their headquarters in Portland and picked up some brochures. Their approach to TRT and your homemade version are not the same. Theirs is a structured and intensive program that lasts one to two years, during which you are required to wear the sound buds...

I’ve been using something similar from a local smoke shop. I believe it’s a national chain called Mr. Smoke here in the U.S. That name is good enough for me. :>} Everyone needs to find their brain’s sweet spot, but what works really, really well for me is something with Delta 8 in it called...

I live in a senior building, and many of my neighbors suffer from peripheral neuropathy. That made me curious because I’m an older guy and don’t have those issues, just a light tingling in my palms from decades of bike and eBike riding. The Cleveland Clinic website says: “Surgery (for...

Yes, of course, the store does have maximum noise regulations that set limits on what people can be exposed to under OSHA. I used to work for a company that did a lot of business with them when I lived in Washington, D.C. Just give them a call or send an email. Noise at high levels is no...

I shouldn't complain. Trump's second presidency has lit a fire under me to move to Corpus Christi for some sun, water, and Spanish lessons. Later, I made my connections and lived as an ex-patriot in Costa Rica. I grew up on the Gulf Coast, so hot and humid weather is always a perfect reason to...

I take supplements but there is no substitute for the real thing. A recent injury to my ankle, caused by two pit bulls attacking me while I was on my eBike, taught me the power of antibiotics and proper healthcare. They almost pulled me off my bike, and if I had gone down, they would have killed...

There was a doctor who specialized in rejuvenating old tissue. I believe his name was Frankenstein. His results were somewhat less than ideal.

Sadly, weed is a powerful drug when it comes to tinnitus. The research supports this, and it certainly aggravates mine. However, Delta 9 vapes do not—or at least, not in the same way. If I indulge lightly, all is well, but past a certain point, it does worsen my tinnitus, though nothing like...

I know what you’re going through. For the first few years, my tinnitus was incredibly loud and constant. It got to the point where I seriously considered ending my life. But one day, I was walking over a bridge above a running stream, and the sound completely drowned out my tinnitus. That moment...

The tinnitus journey is long and doesn’t always make sense. But the good news is that tinnitus is variable. It will go up, down, and sideways all on its own. Sometimes it’s very loud and bothersome; other times, I can barely hear it. One day, it’s easy to drown out with a fan; other times, that...

That gap may have had something to do with it, or it might not—there’s no way to know. Labs rigorously test carefully selected patients to determine whether their product is safe and effective. But if you’re like me, our version of rigorous control might be just making sure we get the date...

Sounds like my tinnitus. I sometimes forget about it, but it’s mostly there 24/7. I would suggest moving to a place with weather that allows you to be outside as much as possible, where ambient noise can help drown it out. That might sound extreme, but I would live almost anywhere for a chance...
