    On the other hand, all it will take for the price of oil to be 2x or 3x the price it's at now will be a resumption of the usage of oil, which will definitely happen, and an agreement between a couple of major players to cut production to raise prices, which will most likely happen, maybe within...

    Stock Market Chat

    I believe it is. But how well does it track the price of oil, and is there a fund/stock that does a better job of it? How about FREQ, a company much discussed here. Any thoughts about whether or not it might be a good investment? It's currently close to as low as it's ever been.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I thought I'd mention this. I just had an appointment with the head of the dept. that deals with tinnitus at one of the best hospitals in the world (would rather not mention where). Anyway I asked about what treatments might be helpful in the future, and he brought up the work that Michigan is...

    Why Advise Against Headphones?

    I hate seeing this. It's so meaningless. Depending on the headphones and the source, that could be really, really loud. I do use headphones though... IEMs at low volume. They isolate very well and so it's possible to use them at a low/very low volume even in a noisy environment, and perhaps...

    Using Bose QC35 Headphones with Noise-Induced Tinnitus?

    Strangely, though, it always seems to be with the Bose. I don't know that the Sonys are much less popular than the Bose (but I suppose they could be) but no one or virtually no one seems to report that they cause tinnitus. So I wonder if its because almost no one owns them, or because the...

    Marijuana / Cannabis and Tinnitus

    But it did die down, yes? You wouldn't say it caused permanent damage?

    Marijuana / Cannabis and Tinnitus

    Did you decide to stop weed because it wasn't playing well with the tinnitus? Have you resumed smoking... if so, is it any better? So, perhaps the weed caused spikes for some time, but eventually it calmed down. After a few months. After the high died down... for how long? A day? Weeks...

    Marijuana / Cannabis and Tinnitus

    While the low THC strain didn't give you spikes while using, you've spiked since you used it? So... do you attribute this to the THC having a sort of delayed negative effect, thus making your overall tinnitus worse by actually causing the post-use spikes? Or do you think that that the THC was...

    Marijuana / Cannabis and Tinnitus

    Someone marked my post "informative" ( @IAmCalifornia ), so lest I lead anyone astray :unsure: I want to be clear that the percentages are meant as more of a question than a statement of fact. It's my general interpretation of the posts I read, but I'm really not sure, so I'm curious if others...

    Marijuana / Cannabis and Tinnitus

    So I've read through a bunch of threads on marijuana and tinnitus on this board, including this long one and several others. From what I've read, if percentages were to be assigned to the possible outcomes of a person with tinnitus smoking (including vaping) marijuana, it might look something...

    Do you have a link to that video or text comment by Dr. Shore? Would be interested to see it, thanks.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    In my understanding, although noise induced tinnitus (and perhaps some other types?) is caused by damage, the sound of tinnitus is in a sense the brain being tricked into turning up the gain to account for the missing sound. So it's not precisely brain damage, but damage in the cochlea that...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    You are absolutely right. I just checked, and it does. I am new to tinnitus. But from what I gather, in the context of Lenire and whether or not it might help, this may be a good thing...? (It's strange, after modulating the sound, it stays modulated for a little while even after the...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Would that include people who get a modulated sound (in my case, louder, by maybe 2x) by clenching their back teeth? When I see "movements of the neck/jaw", I get confused about whether or not that would include a clenching - and only a clenching. I can't change the sound by any other...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Thank you for the advice, much appreciated. Yeah, I'm sure it's from noise (headphones), but that said next time I visit the dentist I could mention it. Anyway, this topic will have to come up if I get drilled, as I want to cut down on the noise! Good point about the Lenire, so that's...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I have tinnitus from noise exposure (headphones, I'm 99% sure). So I just clenched my teeth. When I clench my back teeth, the tinnitus noise becomes significantly louder. It's basically a white noise sound, not a tone. When I unclench, the sound level drops down again. Moving my neck or...

    Is This Really It? Is There More to Tinnitus Than Just Sitting Around in Pain for Decades to Come?

    Does it stand to reason that listening to headphones at a very low volume would create a very small amount of air pressure on the eardrum, perhaps at a level that isnt damaging?

    Onset of Tinnitus After Using Noise Cancelling Headphones

    There are some theories you can find in this thread as to why the Bose seems to be worsening, or even causing, the tinnitus. So if true I wonder if they may also apply to the Sony, or perhaps not, as they seem to operate somewhat differently and perhaps use somewhat different noise cancelling...

    Onset of Tinnitus After Using Noise Cancelling Headphones

    And have you noticed any increase or change in your tinnitus since you started using them? Not when you're actually using them, but afterwards.

    Onset of Tinnitus After Using Noise Cancelling Headphones

    I am curious about this model. The Bose have been discussed a lot on this thread. There are some theories about why they seem to have caused tinnitus problems, including the 16 kHz frequency. I wonder if the Sony WH-1000XM3 might make use of a noise cancelling mechanism that does not cause...
