    Hi... My Experience — Any Help Appreciated

    So sorry to hear of your pain Flexi. your initial response to the T is pretty much quite normal for most people, I know when mine first started I was quite depressed not thinking I could live with this sound in my head. i've had my T for about 10 months now, I still hear it in my head some days...

    Poll: Do You Have Tinnitus in One or Both Ears?

    Right ear sings to me most of the time, high-pitched hissing like steam escaping, other times it moves into the middle of my head almost like a dentist drill, and then every once in a while the left ear will chime in and they'll do a little duet together. :)

    Ringing in Ears May Have Deeper Source

    I think one of the worst things about when your T goes off for a while, at least for me anyways, when I discover that it's not there, I stop to listen for it ,How dumb is that? and usually at that point it will come up a little bit for me to hear it. I guess maybe it's just trying to accommodate me.

    Can a Chicken Cure Hearing Loss and Tinnitus?

    it certainly would be nice if they could cure hearing loss, however, I personally don't care much about that for myself, I'm willing to except some hearing loss as I grow older, it's the noise in my head I'd like to be gone. I have absolutely zero medical training but, I read somewhere that...

    Ringing in Ears May Have Deeper Source

    My T acts the same way as yours, some days it's barely there other days like right this moment it's pretty loud can't figure out the trigger either. however, despite popular thinking, it would seem that coffee has a good effect on my T, i'm thinking maybe it's citrus that sets it off. The...

    The Story of Gaby Olthuis

    This story is certainly a true tragedy, I think we all at one time felt the hopelessness and despair this poor person felt. I know myself, when my T first started, I went to the doctor wanting to hear something like(you have infection)(you have fluid in your inner ear) or maybe (oh yes, you have...

    Hi Stephen although I have no absolute proof, I would like to think that they are helping me to some degree. when my T first started it was much louder and a much much higher pitch which was very distracting, i've been taking this little cocktail for about 8 to 9 months and lately my pitch has...

    ARCHES Tinnitus Formula

    I think I'm going to stick with my Regiment of, magnesium, zinc, and super B complex, this seems to be helping me, although I do have my days when I have my spikes. I think after reading a few of these posts I might throw in a little bit of niacin, I suppose it couldn't hurt.:)

    Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid-Benzodiazepine-Chloride Receptor (GABA/BZ/Cl)

    I think I understand what's being said about the brain prioritizing, I suppose it's kind of like driving in the rain, how many of us actually noticed the wipers going back-and-forth? even though they are right in our face. there have been times when the rain has stopped and I didn't realize that...

    Do Asian People Get Tinnitus?! — (Info c/o Charat in Bangkok)

    I think that is probably the holy Grail, why some people get T and others do not. I have a friend here in the states who is in his 60s, he is extremely hard of hearing because of flying helicopters in the war, and has no T whatsoever. I think if scientist can find out why some people are...

    The Search for a Cure (Responses from Dr. Roland Schaette)

    i'm sure that sooner or later one of these researchers will crack the nut and come up with a cure or a maintenance program for T. unfortunately I believe that the maintenance program is what they are all looking for, let's face it folks, investors don't want to see a 1 time pill and you're...
