    What the Heck! High-Pitched Tone Comes and Goes Several Times a Second

    Hi Folks, On and off over the last year I have had tinnitus in my left ear. But it's a strange type of tinnitus it's a high pitched 14 kHz tone but what happens is it comes and goes several times a second it's a bit like a sweeping where it completely vanishes then comes back then vanishes...

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus Question — If I Plug Both Ears, Tinnitus Is Almost Non-Existent, But...

    Think of T as the gain being turned up as it hears the missing frequency in your other ear hence if you plug both of them your brain turns it down I would expect hearing aids would probably help you

    The Importance of 8-20 kHz

    Keiv Basically a child evolves from a single cell to a fully grown human we also find people who are savants.... What I'm saying is these frequencies probably are a new thing otherwise tinnitus would have been a bigger problem back thousands of years ago

    The Importance of 8-20 kHz

    Possibly the protection is so that the lower frequencies are further down the choclea an less prone to damage so mother nature put them there to act as a buffer. Remember many wars have been caught without ear protection so how do we know the 8khz and above is not a more recent thing

    Lying Doctors

    Dr Nagler, I am a programmer for my profession and if I dont keep up to date I get left behind so what gives a doctor the God given right not to study and learn more about a condition - I learned more about Tinnitus on this thread and the possible cures and studies being investigated than my...

    Lying Doctors

    What I think my doctor is lying about is creating stories that are supposed to make me feel better then when I call his bluff e.g. I have a serious condition its met with - Just live with it. Even if the doctor had of referred me to ENT to hear the same thing that would be fine - I have been...

    Lying Doctors

    Where is the proof its not the ears? If they can't fix the tiny hairs how can they further deduce that its the brain. Sounds like passing the buck! My own theory is that if there bent hairs or dead they still send a signal but since its skewed that's all the brain hears. Bit like mic...

    Lying Doctors

    Just feels like they dont care and the older ones are the worst as I'm just cattle to them. I found a younger doctor far more helpful and they admit they dont know. Older doctors dont care I know more about T than my doctor yet he is the gatekeeper to treatment like what the hell. There are...

    Lying Doctors

    Lying Doctors

    Hey Folks, Is it just me or does it feel like the Doctors just try to fob you off. I went down to my Doctor 3 weeks ago just one day after hearing the ringing in my ear and worried that I could have tinnitus.

    Expose Ears to Sound -> Hear Ringing / Earplugs On -> Tinnitus Almost Inaudible — Why Is This?

    Hi Folks, I find that if I am at home and the TV is on low my T is made worse as my right ear which has hearing loss turns up the gain which increases the T in my left ear. But what I also find is if i put an ear plug in my ear with T the silence or sound of silence to me drowns it out. I am...

    Expose Ears to Sound -> Hear Ringing / Earplugs On -> Tinnitus Almost Inaudible — Why Is This?

    Can anyone tell me why when I expose my ear to sound I can hear ringing but if I put ear plugs in my ears my T is very hard to hear over the sound of silence. When I plug my ears for example I can still hear various sounds which to me what I call silence. Anyone experience this
