Hmm. Interesting. The Sony WH1000XM3's were in top contention and I did a lot of A/B'ing between the two but not enough to notice a difference between the NC affect on the ears. The pronounced bass of the Sony's was one of the reasons I went with the Bose. Along with my tinnitus is a significant...

Hello again, Long time no visit/post. I joined some 4-odd years ago to poke around and see what the latest and greatest in research/treatment might be but left when nothing seemed to be promising. Mostly I left because I couldn't identify with the seemingly shrill responses from the newer...

At first I thought this was going to be a thread for people here that are not suffering from their Tinnitus... I thought that might be a good idea since the vast majority of the people that find this place seem to be searching for answers and are reaching out, desperate, scared and just plain...

I play strictly acoustic now - my loud rock days are over, mostly because I'm too old to rock-n-roll, too young to die. I have an acoustic duo with my wife now and we play amplified - no issues there. I still go to the occasional rock show but I wear custom ear plugs I had made a few years back...

No and no.

You are probably correct. I'm a gun guy (as in I'm a certified firearms instructor) and while I enjoy a good gun joke as much if not more than the next guy, some of the comments here are not really that funny. Making allusions to hurting yourself - or worse, other innocents - raises all kinds of...

Yes! I exclaim that answer because I never knew there was a term for it. I'm going to have to Google that!! I am extremely sensitive to very loud noises, especially in certain frequencies. The way I found this out was somewhat comical. A few years after the incident that gave me this life-long...

Thanks to all. I was quite taken aback (and felt really bad for) all the people's posts I read where people are having such a hard time with it. I guess in my case since the tinnitus was 'switched on' and for an obvious reason it was easier to accept maybe? At the time I was just happy my...

'Nocebo' - I like that! I doubt it's anything directly from the BT. I wonder thought if it's more from the recording they do today. Way back when fidelity was actually important, if you looked at a wave file of a song's recording you would see it has peaks and valleys. But if you look at...

I'm brand new here so who the heck am I to offer advice, you ask? Well, while new here I've suffered with severe tinnitus (high pitched) for over 28 years. Plus hearing loss. Plus vertigo. Plus chronic ear infections. I got tinnitus at age 25 while serving in the Navy when I was unlucky enough...

Exercise (or anything the lowers the blood pressure) definitely helps me a little. Not sure about the gin. While I like martinis, I generally make them with vodka. I'll have to check next time!

I'm thinking the same thing. I wonder if it's just a 'reverse placebo effect' for want of a better term. I did a fair amount of Googling and searching here and found nothing which makes me think even more it might be just all in my mind.

New guy here and poking around. I've had tinnitus a very long time from being close up and personal to an explosion while serving in the Navy. Like most, it gets worse with blood pressure spikes from illness, eating salty foods, not getting enough exercise or sleep. It's very annoying but I've...

If I open my mouth wicked wide it gets really loud, more in the right ear. Also, pushing down on my lower teeth does the same.

When I get sick my T goes through the roof. I have very small ear canals and also my ears create a ton of ear wax so I get blockages all the time. Very annoying. I end up doing cleanings using OTC ear wax removal kits (drops and flush bulb) which works pretty good but it still sucks. I get...

Hello all, I'm a 53-year-old man with pretty severe tinnitus and a significant mid range hearing loss. I've had the hearing loss since I was a young child and it's gotten progressively, albeit slowly worse over the years. I can still function fairly well without hearing aids and am holding off...
