    Positive Story — Tinnitus Virtually Gone

    Hi Michelle:) I wish I could give you an exact of what lowered my tinnitus but I am not sure what caused it or even what made it go away. I can certainly say that my tinnitus definitely did not just disappear in one day. It was very gradual and slow and came to the point that it faded away. I...

    Positive Story — Tinnitus Virtually Gone

    Assthetic, my pleasure ! I think its super important for people to report the positive even though we are all inclined only to look for insight into the negative.

    Positive Story — Tinnitus Virtually Gone

    You are right. It very well may be, especially considering there seems to be no other cause. I've been trying to change my sleep routine very recently, but it is difficult. I will often lay awake for 3 or 4 hours anxious before getting fed up and putting my headphones on at a super low volume...

    Positive Story — Tinnitus Virtually Gone

    I wanted to share my positive experience with tinnitus. After 3 and 1/2 months my tinnitus is virtually gone. It had started as a morse code chirping in my left ear and after about a 2 months, switched to my right ear. The morse code chirping then completely disappeared and the noise turned into...

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    My pleasure. You know I’m actually not sure about that. I think it is different for everyone. I notice sometimes I don’t hear it and other times I do when I play the sounds. Maybe you can experiment with the tuning of the frequency and try a different one. Sometimes I would even play two...

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    Definitely. I think it’s a lifesaver. I also think it’s important to mention that YouTube has a lot of good white noise videos like rainstorms, fan noises, bathtub filling up, etc. The AudioNotch is nice because you can customize your own white noise or sound effect to match the frequency of...

    The Line Between “True” Tinnitus and “Regular” Head Noise...

    My ENT said I have a TMJ issue and when I move my jaw forward I hear a white noise sound in my right ear. He also said TMJ doesn't cause tinnitus but just makes an existing tinnitus more noticeable. I'm hoping its fixable and that is in fact the cause. I also may get an electrophysiological...

    The Line Between “True” Tinnitus and “Regular” Head Noise...

    I am writing to talk about what I have been told is “true tinnitus” and also what is “normal noise” as an ENT told me. Clearly, myself and most on this forum have noise in the ears/head to a noticeable level to the point that is burdensome or much more so. If we did not, we might never have...

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    I will check them both out. I’ve been playing like 3 different things simultaneously using QuickPlayer. A soft white noise which sounds like an ocean, crickets, and a this relaxing sleep music. I have it on such a low volume but the noise in my ears seem to be louder when I wake up in the...

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    I'm wondering if this program has been of any help to anyone here, particularly with getting to sleep comfortably. I can't seem to find a sample of a therapy on the website. Does it just replay the frequency chosen or create some other sound therapy? https://www.audionotch.com/app/tune/

    Alcohol Causing Tinnitus?

    Hi Sven, I could definitely be misjudging the frequency. A doctor also told me she has never heard of alcohol or smoking being the root cause of permanent tinnitus. It may have something to do with my jaw as it seems to make cracking noises up near my ear when I chew.

    Alcohol Causing Tinnitus?

    Hello, I am a 30 year old female with what I believe is tinnitus. I first noticed a "bath tub draining" sound in my left ear about 2 months ago. Now it has advanced to an electronic frequency of some sort in my head. The frequency seems very high (like 16,000 or 17,000 kh). Basically almost...
