    Chronic Tinnitus Cured by Raw Food Diet

    Don Bennett said he went back to the neurologist who re-tested him and found the tinnitus was gone. I don't know of an objective test for tinnitus. When I've gone to the audiologist the only way she knows I have tinnitus is because I tell her I do. The only way she can test for the volume of...

    I Give Up. Trying a Forum.

    Hi Brianna I'm your age and wonder if you've talked to the doctor about taking a little melatonin. I've read that our body makes less of it when we age.

    Giving Up Therapy/Acupuncture/Doctors

    I'm so sorry that happened to you. People can be so thoughtless. As a kid one of the boys on the school bus threw a cherry bomb at the back of my seat. I was deaf for hours. Who knows, maybe that's why I have tinnitus now. Your post shows a great deal of wisdom and I appreciated it because...

    Emergency Ear Plugs

    A young man on this forum said he went to a music venue and forgot his earplugs, so he had to do without and this caused a tinnitus spike. I've been in similar situations and since everywhere you go has toilet tissue, I got some, wadded it up and pushed it into my ear canals. It took the...

    Tinnitus Masking: In-Ear Maskers

    After a fifteen month struggle with severe tinnitus, I finally decided to try the Simply Tranquil II soft, in the ear low level noise generators. The audiology clinic at UNC-Greensboro loaned them to me for a trial period. I think the cost is around $800 each. I've only had them a week, but I...

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    Took Remeron for a couple of weeks. It didn't help with sleep. I didn't change the tinnitus, but it did turn my tongue brown and caused the salivary glands under the tongue to turn purple and become very swollen. Took one dose of Lamictal and it caused a huge t spike that went away a few days...

    Are You Annoyed by Other Sounds? For Example, People Eating

    You're not alone in that. I have t and hyperacusis and the sounds of clanking glasses, plates and silverware can be very annoying. I also get uncomfortable around loud vehicles (motorbikes) and barking dogs.

    Cochlear Nerve Section Cures Some People's Tinnitus

    I've read that it will cause deafness, but the tinnitus will still be there. Certainly not worth it, but I understand your frustration. We've sent a spacecraft practically out of the solar system and we can't find a cure for tinnitus? Come on science!

    Found Something That Seems to Work for Severe Tinnitus Related Insomnia

    I've had severe, very loud and intrusive tinnitus for 15 months. I won't bore you with the details of how this has impacted my life, since you all know how that goes. The worst thing has been near total insomnia, for which I've been hospitalized twice. I've tried all possible herbal remedies...

    Gabapentin (Neurontin)

    The tinnitus started in May, 2013 and habituation seemed to be helping by January. I saw the ATA fact sheet on Gabapentin and since it seemed to help some people, decided to try it. First night dose was 300 mg. No change. Second night dose was 300 mg. and not long after taking it the...
