    Tinnitus Began First Week of June 2020 After Wim Hof Breathing

    Csani, thanks so much for your condolences. I really appreciate it. Yeah, I think it's part habituation and part healing. As I was saying, I think I've returned to the state I was in before tinnitus. Which is to say that I think I've had very low grade tinnitus for a long time, but was never...

    Tinnitus Began First Week of June 2020 After Wim Hof Breathing

    I just want to say thanks for this forum and especially this thread and @MrC6688, @Lukee, and all the rest for all the help. I'm doing much better these days. I've been doing better since last March. I noticed that while on a trip to NYC, I didn't need any sound therapy to sleep for the first...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    My sound therapy routine seems to keep changing. I find that if I listen to the same sound therapy all the time, I get burned out and annoyed by it. So I'm currently using about 5 different ones. I recently started working again, doing electrical work on noisy construction sites. So all that...

    That's whacked, man. Sorry to hear that. I had some of that in the beginning too. I know you're probably well-informed about hyperacusis already, but just a reminder that they say one of the main treatments for it is sound therapy.

    Hey Lukee, What's your sound therapy regimen look like? Which ones do you use? Are you still sleeping with them? Are you getting any residual silence from them at least?

    Sound Enrichment and White Noise Generators for the Tinnitus Newbie

    Thanks Mike. I agree. I like to keep it simple too. I'm pretty occupied with many other things, so I don't really dwell on it too much. Thankfully, my tinnitus has been very low grade and stable for a few months now. Peace and blessings to you.

    Sound Enrichment and White Noise Generators for the Tinnitus Newbie

    I have an Oasis sound machine, and used it in the very early stages for sleep. It worked very well. Then I started hearing about neuromodulation and its purported neuroplasticity effects. So I started using it instead of white noise. It has been working very well for sleep and wakefulness as...

    Sound Enrichment and White Noise Generators for the Tinnitus Newbie

    Hi Michael, What are your thoughts on using neuromodulation sound therapies vs. white noise generators? Do you think neuromodulation tracks such as ACRN or other YouTube variations would be better than white noise to use while sleeping? Also, do you think it's possible to listen to sound...

    Tinnitus Began First Week of June 2020 After Wim Hof Breathing

    Hey Lukee! What's the word? Feeling any better? I've been doing alright. The ringing is still low and steady, and not even noticeable much of the time. Been hitting the gym hard and heavy. Feeling great afterwards. Still working my neck/jaw/head too. I dig the feeling of a strong neck. I've...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Yeah, I've been using Tinnitus Mix for roughly 9+ weeks. Not to say that I haven't had any good results from it, but they just haven't been as dramatic and quick as many of your users report. It's all been a very slow and steady type of progression for me. I started using ACRN about a week...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Yeah, I think it's pretty impressive how quickly ACRN, as well as other neuromodulation tracks work at least in the short term. In my opinion, they should be one of the first lines of defense for a person when they first become afflicted. I think they act as great 'pacifiers' in the short term...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    That's interesting, because I get the opposite reaction to those tracks. I get a very calming and lessening effect on my tinnitus from them. And I could listen to them for hours and still feel a good and lasting effect. You say that pure tones are not good for tinnitus. So would you then object...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Dave, If you have time, I was wondering if you could give your opinion on these 2 neuromodulation therapies. Being an engineer and having created Tinnitus Mix, I'd be interested in your opinion on their strengths, weaknesses, and how they compare to Tinnitus Mix. I don't ask with any sort of...

    Tinnitus Began First Week of June 2020 After Wim Hof Breathing

    Mr. C! I'm still on a slow, steady course. Thankfully nothing seems to be worsening. The only symptom I have is low grade tinnitus that doesn't go much above 3/10. Magnesium has been on my daily menu for a few months now. I can't say that I've noticed any marked effect while taking it though...

    Success Using the Acoustic Coordinated Reset Neuromodulation (ACRN) Treatment

    According to the research study, it appears that it was designed to have 2 silent cycles. Here's what it says: 4 tones per cycle were played in random order with 3 stimulation cycles followed by 2 silent cycles (Fig. 1a). The silent cycles were introduced in order to optimize the duration of...
