    Finally Peace of Mind

    Thanks for sharing the sound therapy video..it gives me relief. It's so weird, b/c yes, it's another noise, almost the same noise, but the sound feels like it is just coming from my device and not from inside my head which calms me down. It's not so "icy". Hard to explain. Thanks again!

    One of the Strangest Success Stories I Have Ever Read

    Ok, I have to share...one day when I was driving, I felt like I was going crazy, so I sorta screamed/yelled/hollered while coincidentally cupping my ear and part of my mouth, so that my voice accidentally reverberated right into my ear and it was quite LOUD...It was a bit of a shock, but the...

    Successfully Turned Tinnitus Off with Sleep Control

    Like I mentioned in a previous post, I've actually have had the best sleeps ever! Not at first..the first 6 months or so were a little rough, but then I discovered listening to "music/drone/bin beats/tibetan singing bowls/anything sorta hypnotic..etc, and I put a bluetooth speaker right under my...

    Maybe Success Comes in Small Steps

    Yes..I have that problem too if the talking is too interesting...but usually I'm sleepy enough to still fall asleep. What I personally liked about the talking ones, is they distracted me from all the horrible sad thoughts I was having about t. Thankfully, the scary thoughts about t have calmed...

    Maybe Success Comes in Small Steps

    I had bought a few "pillow" speakers, but they were never loud enough..or clear enough..and the cables seemed too short and flimsy..so then I had the brainstorm for a bluetooth speaker..better sound and no wires! .....so I spent a few days looking for the flattest one and found that the Aud Mini...

    Maybe Success Comes in Small Steps

    Yes..I now have a small blue tooth speaker I put under my pillow..it was the best thing I ever did to help me with this condition! Sometimes I listen to stories or sleep hypnosis, (helps distract me), or radio or documentaries, (again can't be too interesting..lol..but I discovered Alan Watts...

    Getting Better? Hope So

    Wow..the majority of your post is EXACTLY what I am going through! Thinking it has gone, but then when I "look" for it, it is there. So weird! It still doesn't comfort me though, b/c I can't enjoy the relief when I don't hear it, b/c I'm not thinking about it..I want to be able to think about it...

    Was Almost There and Then the "Spike" Came. :-(

    Hey everyone..I'm in the same boat.. I've had this for 17 months, and when I look at the BIGGER picture, I'm way better then when it first started, but I definitely get those crazy good and bad days...but I didn't get any good days for about 7-9 months, and now the good days are getting...

    Back to Silence

    Quick update: I'm at work, and I noticed the sound, and am shocked to say it doesn't bother me too much right now! Maybe this method is working!
