That was a long post to read. Here's some of my ideas that keep myself going. Number 1: Tinnitus is harmless. It may be irritating, depressing, and infuriating, but it can't bring any harm to you. Reacting negatively is more destructive to your body and yourself than the condition could ever...

10 months ago I went to a few concerts without using hearing protection. The first 1-2 months after the ringing was so bad that it was noticeable against heavy machinery or loud vehicles. My understanding was that this was going to be my new life and it shocked me, I think many people would feel...

Last weekend I jumped out of my rut and took a coach out to another city. The trip was uneventful but okay and enough to get me out of the house. Unfortunately, on the way back, the speaker system on the coach malfunctioned. It played a constant series of loud and high-pitched beeping noises...

Sorry about the lack of update. Been listening to this somewhat regularly until the headphones broke and now only work in one ear. My tinnitus seems to be slowly dissipating by itself. Whether or not this was down to the Tinnitus Mix is a mystery to me but nonetheless thank you David Case.

I'm using the KSC75, they don't have a volume control.

Yes, it's not easy. I'm having a rough time of things at the moment too so it's stressful to do. What's worked for me is to play it at a very low volume (I've had to get an app that decreases the gain below what my phone can usually play) and being so exhausted so that I'm forced to sleep...

Good question, although there seem to be a range of potentially effective treatments for tinnitus (TRT; steroids; supplements; laser treatments etc.) it's quite surprising how poorly documented they are. On my internet research outside tinnitustalk, it seems that sufferers have needed a variety...

Sorry to hear. It interests me, because I've worked with digital audio a lot and wonder if alternative mixes can be developed/tailored for those that Tinnitus Mix doesn't work for. The instruments (if you can call them that) seem to interrogate the tinnitus symptoms and bury them by provoking...

You are in the very early days yet so please give yourself time as your symptoms may still resolve themselves. It's very hard to absorb at first and it's common to have feelings of despair during the onset, I also felt that way and discovered others new to the condition who were quite reasonably...

David Case has said this isn't a masking tool. Did you follow their instructions and play the sound in your sleep, below the level of your tinnitus, using the model of headphones specified?

It's been three days and this seems to have completely knocked out one out of the three "channels" which my tinnitus exists on. This was a constant 15 kHz sound. It began to "shimmer" after 2 days and has now been eliminated or reduced below the level of my other loud symptom. This is the...

Me too. I love the sound of rain and fire and used it as a sleeping aid before tinnitus, it works well.

Very positive story Sisyphus MEF. It must be amazingly relieving to be free of tinnitus after suffering for so long. I hope you can look forward to a tinnitus free future.

As others have mentioned, many tinnitus sufferers have been completely responsible and written about their experiences. And as someone like you OP with self-induced tinnitus, that's definitely kicked me out of my self-pity mode. Guilt and shame are destructive emotions, and worse, they...

While my tinnitus isn't too bad in the day, I find at night that it can prevent me sleeping properly. In order to sleep I often have to be exhausted and even then I will wake up due to the sound. Sleeping aids are great at first but become ineffective if you use them too much, and most of google...

Thank you David. I have only had tinnitus for several weeks and it has slightly improved in the last 2 or so; would the file still be effective?

I would presume that no alteration to the volume is required as it is meant to be played while you are sleeping.

Hey MrCrybaby, thanks for sharing the advice your doctor gave. It will be reassuring to many. Medical professionals can often seem to have a surprising lack of understanding for the condition. Above all its important to stay optimistic and keep a positive outlook. In my experience, several...

I have noise induced tinnitus and going to give this a try. I shall document my experience here. From what can be understood, initially you must listen to the waveform for a few hours, for a few days, on repeat, in the background in the daytime. This can be applied on speakers or headphones...

I was going to say if your ears or head feel "clogged" then there could be a wax blockage in your ears which a professional could clear, but it sounds like you've already gone down this route. 4 weeks is still very early in the scheme of things so give yourself time, it could go away. Keep...

If all else fails, remember you're not alone. Even the richest men on earth can't have a cure for tinnitus yet. That's got to suck even more.

Loud music. I used it to cope during tough times and when life became desperate, which it often was.

Thanks. I respect the situation is not fixable, I have just had a terrible time of accepting it and probably done more damage in the meantime. I simply can't deal with this as reality. It's like my life is over. I dread every moment and every minute. It's been years and I've only just got to...

For at these the last several years I've been experiencing tinnitus due to noise exposure. I'm starting to understand I've been in denial. I cannot believe how bad this is. I've been terribly irresponsible and ruined my hearing through my own actions. I've tried to drink heavily on it and hide...
