Tinnitus causes stress, and when a person is stressed out the other mate will find them less attractive since it is a sign of lack of health.

Yes the pillow with a hole is a solution. Mr. Case I want to ask you a few questions regarding tinnitus. My tinnitus was caused by repeat noise exposure over the course of 8 months. I was test for hearing loss by a audiologist and I have no hearing loss. I have had hypercusis at some points in...

It is well known that listening to sound therapy during sleep is beneficial for tinnitus because it enhances neuroplasticity in the brain. I am only skeptical that your noise is more beneficial than other types of sound therapy such as brown noise. You recommend listening to your sound therapy...

That is an accurate statement, except that does not correctly depict Ring Relief by TRP which is homeopathic medicine. Homeopathic medicine works by causing the sickness that one has, so in the case of tinnitus Ring Relief contains ingredients known to cause ringing except in micro amounts.

After trying Lipoflavonoid and getting no improvement in tinnitus whatsoever I decided to try another supplement called Ring Relief Tablets by TRP. The product is a homeopathic medication that works by micro-diluting substances known to cause ringing. After trying Ring Relief Tablets I can now...

Hearing doesn't improve, once it is lost it is gone permanently. That's why your tinnitus didn't improve, because you still have the same hearing loss as before.

Many members here gave you great advice and you have much reason to be hopeful that your tinnitus will improve within 2 years time. Try getting sleeping pills from a psychiatrist to knock you out so you can sleep in the meantime. There are other people on this forum that have suffered for over...

My money says your sound therapy results are skewed by a placebo effect since in most cases tinnitus improves over time regardless of any lack of initiative to seek treatment. Brown noise is all your therapy is, there is nothing special about your therapy and people are better off with a proven...

You have only had tinnitus since February 2019. It may get better over time as many members on Tinnitus Talk have reported improvement within 2 years, just make sure not to over-expose yourself to noise again. I am going through the same thing as you with miserable piercing tinnitus except I had...

I don't think hyperacusis makes tinnitus worse by itself. However if a person is overly sensitive to sound and is exposed to sounds which they are sensitive, then these sounds can make their tinnitus spike. That's my experience at least.

16 years is a long time to live with tinnitus. Do you have any hearing loss?

Even though you are correct that most people's tinnitus improves significantly within 6 months, this occurs only in cases where there was a noise exposure that caused the tinnitus. As for weighing euthanasia as an option, that is not a good decision because there will be a treatment for tinnitus...

Someone should slap you. Stop spewing bullshit. You don't have any inside information.

I had a hearing test by a audiologist which showed I don't have hearing loss. My tinnitus was likely caused by over-exposure to noise. Will I still be able to use this device when it comes out?

I did not have head trauma. I don't know why I got tinnitus but it is possibly from over-exposure to noise. Assuming the reason for my tinnitus is repeat over-exposures to noise, but that I don't have much hearing loss even in the higher frequencies, what are the chances of my tinnitus going away?

You know I specifically asked the audiologist if she could test at a higher frequency than 8000 Hz because I knew Contrast would post this article again but unfortunately my audiologist doesn't have those capabilities.

I searched online and was able to hear up to 15000 Hz.

OK point taken. But do you know, since I performed so well on a 8000 Hz hearing test, chances are I don't have much hearing loss if any in other frequencies and probably either very little or no nerve damage/hidden hearing loss. Isn't it logical that for those whose hearing loss is very mild...

No the audiologist said my hearing test not only shows no hearing loss but that my results are above average. The audiologist says it is important not to stress out over the tinnitus as that is the only way it will go away. That I have to do something in order not be bothered by it as much.

I got my hearing tested at an audiologist and found out that I have no hearing loss. I understand the majority of tinnitus sufferers have hearing loss. Who else on this forum has tinnitus without any hearing loss?

I don't understand this method. I'm always stressed out from my tinnitus, that is the emotion and it never changes. So how will writing down how I feel which is always the same, going to cause me to respond differently to my tinnitus in any way?

Curing the hearing loss is a logical thing to focus on in order to cure the tinnitus, but what if there were a way to stop the tinnitus by a drug that alters the brain in a specific way, why is this so unfeasible to imagine.

There is no drug on the market for tinnitus so if there was a drug on the market it would be very good for me and a lot of other tinnitus sufferers.

I disagree with your post. A drug for tinnitus would be a very good thing, even if it has bad side effects.

That seems shady to delete negative comments from their Facebook page. But what do you make of the fact that they have a placebo controlled study showing the effectiveness of their product in tinnitusjournal.com?

This company has a clinical placebo-controlled study that proves the effectiveness of their patch. I am considering trying this patch. Why aren't more people talking about this treatment option on Tinnitus Talk? From the comments I read I see some people have commented on Tinnitus Talk that...

No you are the one who is not correct. Tinnitus is uncommon, especially chronic tinnitus. See this article: https://consumer.healthday.com/hearing-information-19/tinnitus-health-news-661/1-in-10-americans-has-experienced-ringing-in-the-ears-713127.html

Because 1 in 8 people have had tinnitus in the past, but much less than 1 in 8 people currently have the condition.

Wishful thinking that your tinnitus will be cured after a long time, or wishful thinking that Neuromod will release ever release this thing. LOL.

"Of course it is.'" You are not making sense, what are you referring to?

While I tried lipoflavonoid and found it to be useless, I never tried Ring Relief. Ring Relief claims to have a 70% success rate, the treatment works by micro-dilution of substances that in high doses cause ringing. What makes you say that Ring Relief is useless, did you ever try it? Ring Relief...

No Ring Relief is NOT lipoflavanoids. Ring Relief is a different supplement made by a completely different company. See the link: https://www.thereliefproducts.com/product/ring-relief-fast-dissolving-tablets/

I've been on this forum long enough and have read enough stories to know that it does go away completely within 6 months in most cases. I'm not cherry picking. Even my ENT said that noise induced tinnitus often goes away, especially in a young and healthy person. Yes there are cases where it...

Your ENT never heard of tinnitus going away. That ENT is ignorant, because tinnitus often does go away, just read the posts on this forum. People have had tinnitus for a few months and it is the end of the world, and then it goes away. It is the chronic sufferers who have tinnitus permanently...

I tried David Case's Tinnitus Mix and it did nothing. He claims that it has a 50% success rate but it did nothing for me. Hopefully Neuromod's device will help. I want to get it as soon as it is released. Unfortunately Neuromod's device is years off from being released.

Your tinnitus is probably somatic. Tinnitus that is subjective in nature does not stop when you close your ears, rather it gets louder when you do so because you are reducing the contrast between the background noise from the environment and your tinnitus. If your tinnitus really stops when you...

Isn't it sad that 21 years later and still there is no cure. I don't think anyone is trying to cure this illness. It's pathetic.

When I wear earplugs my tinnitus is immediately louder after placing them in my ear. I understand the reason for this is because the contrast between the environment which is about 10db in a silent room and the tinnitus is reduced. However, this explanation I was given doesn't make sense because...

Show me where the CEO said this.

You shouldn't give money to the BTA or the ATA. They are both scum of the earth. These organizations do nothing for tinnitus research. They've been around for decades and have failed the tinnitus community. If reasonable funding for tinnitus research was ever achieved this disease would have...

I wasn't speaking unkindly about her. I was referring to how pathetic it is that this Neuromod company still hasn't released a product to the market after 10 years already.

That's not entirely true. Yes you are right TENT-A2 will be submitted for peer review in 2019 but it will not be available in limited capacity in 2019 anywhere. And especially Ireland. The company has no plans to release this device in Ireland. The first place will be in certain European sites...

No Neuromod is not expected to launch their new device this year in any country. I watched the entire interview of the CEO. He said they are still in the clinical trial phase and will be submitting the results for the clinical trial in the end of 2019 and it will take a long time before the...

Ha Ha Ha! It's been 6 years since you posted this and still this company hasn't released any device to the public. What a joke!

It sounds like your tinnitus improved since it is no longer as sharp. Your conflicting statement that "in some respects it gotten worse even though my reactiom to it has improved" is bewildering. I would think multiple tones that vary in severity is better than a single tone that is super sharp...

Did the severity of your tinnitus improve since 3 years ago, or is it still exactly the same?

Your tinnitus is probably somatic.

That's smart, tinnitus and hearing loss are closely linked, but that's because the reason for tinnitus is probably hearing loss resulting from over-exposure to noise within a short time, and people with hearing loss that occurred over a very long term period of time did not have this...

I agree I doubt it will. If hearing loss was truly the reason for tinnitus then all people with hearing loss would have tinnitus, rather than only a very small fraction of them.

I'm not incoherent, I'm well informed. There is already a company called Neuromod which is developing a device that does the same exact thing as this professor. The difference is, this company managed to raise $6 million dollars in funding. This professor has no means or plans to fund anything...

If people are expected to part with their money for the hope of finding a cure it needs to be done with the chance of making a profit if a treatment is found. Like pooling together $500,000 and the amount of money a person contributes equals their stake in the company. The problem is finding a...

My tinnitus also got a lot louder since it started 6 months ago.

This device will never come to the market. It seems like every chance to cure or provide relief for tinnitus is ignored. The industry needs a company interested in solving the problem for the sake of profit, this professor isn't to be taken seriously.

He's allowed to have an opinion. There's much reason to be bothered, seriously, this engineer provided no scientific evidence other than that a neurologist realized his sound therapy incorporates brown noise. While I commend the engineer for trying to offer something to help those with tinnitus...

Mr. Case what recommendation do you have to help tinnitus for those whose tinnitus is not able to be improved by your sound therapy? I am really frustrated with my tinnitus. I wish there was a drug available that helps tinnitus.

I'm not making any crass statements. If you'd have read my posts you'd see I am only questioning the engineer in a critical way.

And what scientific evidence do you have that the chaotic multiple wave forms and pulses break the feedback loop in the structure of tinnitus. Why is your therapy different than other types of sound therapy that are available? So what if it works for some people. That could be because sound...

I don't donate to tinnitus research because it won't make a difference. If there was a company that showed promise in developing a cure for tinnitus and was publicly traded on the stock market I'd buy the stock.

I don't smoke marijuana often but when I tried it to see if it would help my tinnitus it didn't have any effect.

Well unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I want to ask you, why is your therapy more effective than other types of sound therapy such as notch therapy? What is so special about your therapy?
