    How Long for Low-Sodium Diet to Work? (Or Does It?)

    Hi vegasjon, I don't have an answer for your post, but I was going to post something similar a little while back about the success rate with a low sodium diet. I too have eaten too much salty foods as I admit I love salt. I also have a lot of problems with fullness and pressure in my ears also...

    Jeff D

    Hi Jeff, myself like a lot of people have had no success with lipo flavonoids. Could it be helping you? Possibly. Everybody's systems are just a little different. One thing may work for one person, but not another. Personally I've gotten skeptical of the effectiveness of most supplements. Thanks...

    Strange Night

    Hi Falconfox, I don't know if I have 2 nights in a row that are the same so I wouldn't over think and worry about what you experienced. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with quieter T, and other nights I wake up with weird spikes and different tones. The T is very unpredictable...

    Are You Jealous of Other People?

    I have to be honest and say I envy other people sometimes when I'm driving down the road and seeing them pulling their campers and fishing boats and going out and doing other things. With the T I currently have I also have some pretty bad ear pressure and dizziness to boot. I feel...

    Can Anxiety Cause Tinnitus?

    Dear Irene, I'm glad to hear your getting your anxiety under control. Anxiety, especially if it's severe can cause all sorts of negative manifestations in one's body. Another problem is that the T causes anxiety in return. It's a vicious circle/cycle. It does get a person depressed. Please try...

    Clonezapam and Ear Pressure

    Hi Street Spirit, I was put on 2 MG a day recently, the same dosage you are on now. I'm not trying to be nosey at all. My doctor said to take 1 MG 2 times daily and if I wanted to split the 2 MG in 3 doses that would be up to me. Did your doc tell you anything like that or did he/she tell you...

    Which Is Safer? A Few Drinks a Day or Taking ADs, Benzos or Other Mind-Altering Chemicals?

    Hi Telis, I know your post here is from a little while ago but I want to elaborate on it. I'm 50 years old and I've had alcohol in my life since I was a teenager. I still drink a little bit. The problem with alcohol is that you build up a tolerance for it like other drugs and medications. I know...

    Clonezapam and Ear Pressure

    Hi folk's, I have a question for any of you. I have ear pressure along with the T and I'm wondering if any of you that are currently taking clonezapam (klonopin) that have ear pressure have had it possibly worsen do to taking it? The website drugs.com has ear congestion listed as a possible side...

    I Feel Like I'm Going to Kill Myself

    Dear Eleanor, I'm sorry to hear about the tinnitus that has come upon you, adding to your other health ailments. The anxiety you are experiencing is beyond a doubt making things worse. I have a lot of problems with anxiety everyday now along with the rotten tinnitus. (I'm 50 years old) It...

    Certain Excercises and Tinnitus?

    Hi folks, sometimes I think we research the internet too much these days, but I have a question for any of you. I read that running/jogging is probably not good for tinnitus on a certain web page. I've never been a jogger/runner (was always into weightlifting) but have recently started doing a...

    Associated Symptoms

    Hi again Nic, being a stupid 50 year old man who never protected his ears for most of his life, I believe I have slowly developed hearing loss from even in my 20's from loud noise exposure. My T started all started out in late 2013 with some weird pressure in my head that over months then...
