I wear one hearing aid. It's in the ear that always has the ringing. It helps some. I notice it most when I take my hearing aid out.

Music is more distracting than the ringing. I don't mind if the music comes to visit, but don't stay. The ringing is easier to tune out and forget.

I know what you are taking about! It was way late at night. I was sewing away. I hear the ice cream truck. What? It's 1:00 am! Can't be! I stopped. I listened. I almost looked outside, maybe I did look. I don't remember. Long time ago... Other times I have heard other sounds, singing...

I had a CT scan yesterday with and without contrast. I was concerned about reactions to the contrast. The most common reaction, according to the tech, was hives. Sure, many feel the warm sensation in the body, but my concern was reactions, not sensations. After a good and satisfying...

I injured my shoulder three weeks ago. For the past two weeks, I took the maximum dose of ibuprofen to try to be comfortable. My shoulder is feeling good enough to stop. I have three things working that can increase the ringing: ibuprofen, fluid in my ears and tension in my neck. I'm not...

To distract me from the ringing at night, I play a podcast, just loud enough that I can understand the words. I play it under my pillow. My husband doesn't seem to mind and I can drift off to sleep before the program is over. You could do the same with music. Set up a limited number of songs...

If it was that loud, you couldn't even a conversation! I would asked for a table away from the speakers. I have tried to protect my hearing for years before I got tinnitus. It's been permanent for the last seven years, but 28 years ago, I can remember ushering for a concert. The speakers...

Deaf people drive! But you need to tune up your other senses to replace the sounds you are missing. Maybe you should try as a passenger first.

I agree... I tried some magnisium. I had the same reaction... Upset icky tummy... Zinc does it to me too. Iron on an empty stomach didn't end well either. But from all I have read, I have a bunch of symptoms that could be relieved by taking magnesium, if I could find a safe and effective...

I usually forget to take my hearing aid out before my head hits the pillow. Then I feel my hearing aid. Rats! Then I take it out. About hearing aids being seen? I had mine for two days and no one at home noticed. They knew I was going to get it. They knew about my appointments. They...

After reading all the positive feedback and listening to the purple noise, I think I might go back to the hearing aid dispenser to have my masker turned on on my hearing aid. I should try it. My ringing is being loud today.

I understand what you are saying, but not the theory. It kinda sounds like homeopathy theory. I know it's not...

I would love to recreate the sounds in my head for others to understand! I'm sure it's not as bad as yours. Thank you for sharing! I hope you don't mind me laughing... People don't have a clue...

I have a hearing aid and opted out of the white noise. Just having the hearing aid filling in the sounds I was missing helps a lot! Personally, I didn't see how adding more noise to my head would make it quieter... I might try it some time later...

The irony of it all... Most of the ringing, or at least the increases in my ringing (and decrease in hearing) is because I interpret for the Deaf. I interpret songs on stage. The monitors are way to loud! Anyway... I recently got a hearing aid for my bad ear, the one with the ringing. It...
