Thank you so much @Hazel for this most excellent reporting! I will be watching with great eagerness.

Returned to this old thread to add that my husband finally agreed to be tested for sleep apnea. It was measured as SEVERE, and he has a CPAP machine and sleeps much more deeply and happily. The machine itself is surprisingly quiet, so that was a relief. Now I have to look into my OWN snoring...

Hi all, I've had manageable tinnitus with no hearing loss for about 4.5 years now. I'm able to suppress it almost always with aerobic exercise, with notched sound if I need a little more, and with low dose melatonin if I really need it. I hardly ever do the melatonin because the exercise has...

I never knew that there was such a thing as "cicada tinnitus" until very recently. I was trying out a new track, which since seems to be gone from the site, that was "river and cicadas". It actually triggered me from quiet to loud. Mine is also maybe pulsatile; I hear a louder and quieter...

I wish I had known this earlier in my tinnitus journey so thought I would call it out plainly with a new forum post. I guess for many this is so obvious it goes without saying, but maybe there are some who will have an a-ha moment too. Sleeping next to a partner who snores loudly will trigger...

Should have popped in again to say that yes, returned to controllable quiet / baseline with heavy AudioNotch, Neural Symphony and heavy aerobic exercise, especially swimming.

Onions, wow, hmm. I cook with onions a lot. I might have to start watching for that relationship. Champagne, apparently, triggers my T (said since I had some yesterday and woke up to T.) Or more specifically, more champagne than is good for me. I guess that goes without saying now that I...

Hey all, I am back in the "watching" phase after several months of basically no T at all. No T because I really couldn't sleep well when I was recovering from shoulder surgery, so I was so focused on the shoulder discomfort, trying to arrange some kind of sleeping space that wasn't horizontal...

thank you for posting this, Markku!

oh boy Glynis, hope your ears were not too affected, and bless you for the depth of your love for your mum and the other patients. May today be more peaceful!

I would like to share some funny positivity today. I have been more and more active over the past 5 years, and in the last year or so I have started jogging. (I'm getting close to 60 so believe me, it's NOT running!) I hit some ice in NY in December, hit the ground and popped both a rotator...

So good to hear! Thanks for letting us know.

I have a really cold bedroom, and one thing that helps me fall asleep fast and stay asleep a little longer is HEAT. I have a heating pad that I sleep on, partly because of a really stiff back / shoulders / neck. It shuts off automatically after 2 hours but the heat is trapped for quite a while...

https://eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-01/tjnj-cct011717.php In a study published online by JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, researchers evaluated the effect of a cognitive training program on tinnitus. Individuals with tinnitus have poorer working memory, slower processing speeds...

Signed and sharing.

Remind me not to take naps! Generally, aerobic exercise and almost daily use of AudioNotch or another listening therapy makes it quiet.

Ha. I just searched for "naps" and found this thread. I guess feel better that it's not just me :rolleyes:. Just had a super tired hit so stretched out on the floor, partly for the spine stretch, and had a 20 minute nap. When I woke - ka-pow! THERE it is. Oh well, I know I'll be tired when I...

To answer your original question, I use the Bose Quiet Comfort 20s which rest in the ear but don't stick into the ear canal. The silicone tips are soft and comfortable. That said, I sleep on my back, so I don't toss around and get tangled in the cords. I use noise-cancelling because of the...

I have a chiro who also does active release work on soft tissue. Since I have scoliosis and muscle-skeleton issues from past sports injuries, among other things, the work he does is immensely helpful - in combination with all the stretching and movement work I do myself. Would not have thought...

My noise-induced T has been with me for about 15 months now. I had worked hard on it, so it was quiet almost all the time thanks to the following combination of activities weekly: Swimming 20-30 minutes at a pace that makes me breathe pretty hard (don't know the heart rate, but let's just say...

Let us know how it went, and how you are feeling today!

Has anyone combined Neural Symphony with one or more Audio Notch tracks, notched to your (perceived) frequency, and found it effective at reducing, not just distracting? I bought the iPhone $9.99 pack and am just playing with it now. I can't seem to search for a specific track, and they are...

I'm hoping it's better already, but if not - can you try to get some movement? Fast walking, a run, a swim - whatever you can do where you are focusing on your whole body moving and can get your heart rate up, oxygen uptake increased, and blood flow to everywhere increased. If mine trends...

I agreed months ago to see "Hedwig & The Angry Inch" with a group of friends in SF. We had dinner first and settled into our mezzanine seats. Then the show started and OMG, even the custom earplugs (silicone, I guess, that I had made last year) didn't reduce the volume enough. I should have...

@Michael Leigh Your warning about headphones is interesting but worrying to me, as listening to notched sound (at low levels) from AudioNotch has been instrumental in helping me return the noise level down to an imperceptible level any time it presents again. I'll go see if you have other...

I have been getting complacent after finding a protocol that helped me manage my T: almost daily aerobic exercise + AudioNotch.com playlist of notched sound, also almost daily. Then last Friday I joined a group of friends to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch (rock musical) after dinner together...

Sending you a quiet, careful and gentle hug, Glynis. Fingers crossed you are out soon with a good prognosis for getting back into it!

Last night I did an hour of aqua aerobics at a fairly good intensity level, and during the day I did about 2 hours of AudioNotch. This morning when I woke it was absolutely quiet. I'm going to keep testing this combination, because it's worked before. If I knew for a fact that chlorine +...

An hour of heavy aqua aerobics + a few hours of AudioNotch (notched nature sounds) = almost guaranteed quiet tinnitus level the next day.

Of course, the day after I wrote up the above, my tinnitus came back. Then Friday night I went to a wedding, where the music at the reception was naturally pretty loud. So I'm back on AudioNotch right now, trying to get it to ease. Not giving up hope though!

My T started after persistent noise problems at work, and I was pretty frantic for a while even though it was not so loud that it prevented me from sleeping. (It's high-pitched ringing, about 6750 now though I think it was much higher in the beginning.) I'm chronically under-slept, though, so...

OK, now I need to go develop a better understanding of acoustic engineering I guess... The acoustic guy was here with his gear and discovered a "screamingly hot" source of sound in our motion detectors, which "watch" everyone and keep the lights on if they move. That sound is close to 20,000...

Hi Karen, I certainly reported it - and my employer has been aggressively following up with the building management to find out the source. The worker's comp claim was at my employer's request, too. They are being incredibly supportive. I'm working from home until we find out the source and...

Hello folks, One month ago, a piercing, loud and steady high-pitched sound occurred for about 90 minutes in our offices (like a sonic drill but no on/off pattern). Two days later, a new but not too-loud high-pitched tone appeared. Three days later, I woke up from a dead sleep with that...
