Did the tinnitus volume really go down or are you able to handle it better due to improved physical and mental health?

I am starting to cope better with tinnitus and it bothers me less. Time apparently helped with acceptance. Biggest insight last half year: STOP FIGHTING. It doesn't mean you can't have hope. I have hope that one day it will disappear. It doesn't mean you can do (some) research every now and...

Good to hear you found a trigger. What do you mean by moving your head upward? Do you watch the ceiling and shorten your neck? And with the jaw upward, you push this movement even further in the same direction?

Yesterday I had my last appointment with the physiotherapist who is specialized in somatic tinnitus (jaw/neck). I think the relation is not strong enough. I have some small relief after neck and jaw massages, but it's very temporary and I think it is not the root cause. Although the path of...

I'm more than a month in and so far I don't think GABA has had any positive nor negative effect on my tinnitus. I will take it for some more weeks, but today I also started with Apple Cider Vinegar, based on this thread: Apple Cider Vinegar Works Will post updates later.

Thank you for the updates. Interesting to get the information over a longer period of time!

@RachLouise, how are you doing now?

Thank you. For you and for all. In this thread a caution is given about taking supplements and the question is posited whether or not you can benefit from it in the long term. A thing to consider when one tried these kinds of supplements. Tinnitus without Clear Cause — Related to Stress or...

Thank you very much and especially the aspect of the long-term is very interesting and something I didn't take into account yet. The relationship between alcohol and GABA, and GABA and tinnitus is very interesting and due to your reaction I have read more about it. Thank you once again. In...

It looks like you already know a lot of tinnitus and what factors might be relevant. I have my own thread in this section where I described my journey to understanding somatic tinnitus. Potentially it might give you some ideas too. I now try GABA for 1 month and will report there. After that I...

@ECP, I've decided to give supplements a try. I've bought GABA based on the advice as can be found in: I've bought Magnesium and Hawthorn berry capsules based on @Greg Sacramento's advice in: Trying to Understand If My Tinnitus Is Caused by Blood Pressure Meds / Dental Issues / Anxiety...

I believe that there was a study that showed, statistically relevant, some temporary relief for patients that drank around 3 drinks. It was in a YouTube video of Prof. Dirk de Ridder. I think it was this:

Hello ECP, Thank you very much for your post. Listening fatigue is a new concept for me. It was a little hard to understand at first but I will do more research on this. I spoke to a very good ENT with decades of experience with tinnitus, and he told me it was quite odd that the tinnitus was...
