    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I know the wait for Dr. Shore's tinnitus device can feel like forever, especially when it's something that could change our lives. The FDA process is no joke, but that's a good thing – it means they're making sure it's the real deal. Hang tight, keep those fingers crossed, and let's remember...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    1. **General Understanding**: While decibels measure sound pressure levels in a logarithmic way, the general public often equates it with "loudness" for simplicity's sake. 2. **Versatility**: Decibels are used in many fields beyond acoustics because of their ability to describe ratios...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Personally I’m trying not to read too much into it. It could just be that the first title was too narrow and that the second one reflects more the science behind it.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I wish I could just buy it and play with it. I know I can’t and I shouldn’t. But I still wish I could. Last year I purchased and tweaked a CPAP machine to my linking. Now I sleep way better in spite of the tinnitus. But that’s besides the point. Fingers crossed for everyone! Seems like this is...

    Suppressive Effects of Goshajinkigan on Tinnitus

    In my case, it seems to help a bit but it’s hard to say. Might be the placebo effect. Exercise, especially interval training, has a much bigger impact for me. It’s a bit expensive since it needs to be ordered from Asia, and honestly in my case I will not order more. Might be worth a try for some...

    Suppressive Effects of Goshajinkigan on Tinnitus

    I would be tempted to say it does have an impact taking the edge off, but I have been doing a lot of things at the same time to mitigate the tinnitus like exercise, sleeping more etc. I have had a couple of more quiet days, but I don’t want to give people false hope. I will keep taking it and...

    Tinnitus Masking: Bone Conduction Headphones (e.g., Aftershokz) — Share Your Experience

    I have used bone conduction headphones for the last 6 months with a very low volume high pitch sweeping sound and it really has helped me with my tinnitus. I would never go back to AirPods. I use Shokz OpenRun, quite expensive but really worth it. The fact that it’s outside my ear canal and...

    Headaches and Tinnitus: Correlation Found

    Although I think based on my research that tinnitus is not brain damage, but rather is a symptom of brain damage as well as of other possible causes like anxiety and stress, your post made me wonder. Interesting article on this: Tinnitus is the result of the brain trying, but failing, to...

    Can Listening to High-Frequency Sounds with Bone Conduction Earphones Make Tinnitus / Hearing Worse?

    @Michael Leigh, thanks for your answer Michael. I am careful not to raise the volume on earphones too high, actually I never go above 50%. My tinnitus 5 years ago started when I was listening to music through earphones while studying under stress for an exam. So you might be right. For my second...

    Can Listening to High-Frequency Sounds with Bone Conduction Earphones Make Tinnitus / Hearing Worse?

    Hiya all, my tinnitus is currently spiking after about 5 years of habituation, which makes it harder to sleep at night. I am currently experimenting with bone conduction earphones that emit a very low volume high frequency sound of about 12,500 Hz to my right ear, the one that seems to be...

    My Tinnitus Is 95% Gone

    Hi folks, first of all I want to thank the community for all the comfort I took in reading many, many threads while I was not so sure on how to proceed with the constant whistling in my ears. For a while it got really bad; it'd say the first 6 months were the worse. I was diagnosed with a slight...
