    How to Use Pink/White Noise for Treating Reactive Tinnitus?

    @MindOverMatter, If you don't mind me asking, what changes have you seen with your reactivity? For instance, mine reacts to fans, driving in a car, wind, etc. Are you at a point now where some noises used to cause reactivity, but don't anymore? Or is it that the reactivity in general is less...

    @MindOverMatter, thank you for your feedback. Now that I’m into this sound therapy for a month or so now, I have some more questions if you don’t mind answering. 1. When you first started with sound therapy, did your ears react more than usual? 2. How would your ears react? Mine is like...

    How to Use Pink/White Noise for Treating Reactive Tinnitus?

    Hi there @MindOverMatter, I've read some of your posts on reactive tinnitus. I see that you have gotten a handle on this condition through sound therapy.

    Tinnitus 90% Gone After Treating MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)

    @SarahJT Very interesting post. I wonder if I'm histamine intolerant too. My tinnitus started after several things, one being a steroid shot while pregnant. I'm wondering if that threw my body into a histamine intolerant situation leading to tinnitus. My tinnitus fluctuates a lot and I'm...

    A High School Teacher Diagnosed with Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    Hi Rosco, I’m a HS teacher in San Diego and also got tinnitus when I was 39. I’m 41 now. I take a small amount of remeron (1-2mgs) for sleep. Something to consider trying. I sleep 9 hours per night and it doesn’t spike my tinnitus.

    Tinnitus — My Journey Back to a Normal Life

    @Tybs Thank you for posting your success story! I have an alpha stim device. I used it for about a month, but it made my tinnitus worse. I wonder if I abused it though. Sometimes I would wear it for 60 minutes at a 3.5 setting. What setting and duration did you use? I may give it another...

    Are Hearing Tests How Accurate?

    I just had a hearing test 18 months after my last two hearings tests around January 2019. Both audios performed in January 2019 were similar. The one I had done today was completely different showing massive changes for the worse. Where I could hear in the ultra high frequencies between 0 and...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I am desperate for tinnitus relief and I'm sure other people are too! Do you think there's any way we could organize a group of individuals to convince Frequency Therapeutics/FDA to allow us to take FX-322 under "compassionate use" before it is released to the market?

    Finally After Nearly 3 Years, a Possible Answer on Why I Have Tinnitus

    @ring a ding Hi there. Just curious how you're doing now. Did the tinnitus fade even further with iron supplements? I'm thinking about trying the same. I just looked at my bloodwork and my hemoglobin is in the higher range. Does this mean I"m not anemic? What blood tests did you take to...
