    Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus — Help with Sound Generators & Treatment Methods?

    @Michael Leigh Just an update. I have had my sound generators for 3 days now. I have been using them at 1 hour intervals at the lowest volume. However, my tinnitus spikes afterward with a high pitched ringing sound for a few hours. It is normal for the T to spike when first using the sound...

    Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus — Help with Sound Generators & Treatment Methods?

    @Michael Leigh Thank you for the advise. One last question. There are days when I can't hear my tinnitus unless I am in a very quiet room or laying down to sleep. How should I set the volume on those days?

    Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus — Help with Sound Generators & Treatment Methods?

    @ Michael Leigh. I have an appointment at 3:00 today (5/20) to get my noise generators. I know that you said to start wearing them 1 hour on and 1 hour off at first. How do I progress the time to achieve the 8 hours per day? And, when will I know that progress is being made? Appreciate your insight.

    Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus — Help with Sound Generators & Treatment Methods?

    @Mister Muso I looked all of the state of Indiana for an audiologist, and even an ENT, who were well educated in TRT and hyperacusis. However, there are not any. I have had to provide education to my audiologist so that she would understand the rationale for sound generators for hyperacusis...

    @Rajin. My tinnitus is complex. In my right ear, I have various sounds from complete silence to buzzing, hissing, air blowing, or what I call a drone.

    Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus — Help with Sound Generators & Treatment Methods?

    @Michael Leigh I appreciate your response. I do use a sound generator at night set at a low level. When I go to bed it is set just below my tinnitus level, but by the time I wake up in the morning, my tinnitus is usually quiet. I did read you thread regarding newbies. The information is appreciated.

    What Is Brain Tinnitus?

    I have a very odd phenomenon that I am trying to determine if it is considered brain T. I have times when it is as though I pick up extreme high pitched electrical sounds that continuously ping back and forth in my head. If I go to a quiet room and lie down, the noises will stop. It usually...

    Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus — Help with Sound Generators & Treatment Methods?

    Zugzug. I have attempted to use pink noise. I order the CD and listened to it for various amounts of time. The noise did not cause any pain, but later in the day, the tinnitus would spike each time.

    Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus — Help with Sound Generators & Treatment Methods?

    Thank you Michael. I agree that reactive tinnitus is just hyperacusis which causes a spike in tinnitus. I really appreciate your expertise. Will you answer some questions for me please? As I stated previously, my audiologist does not know the treatment protocol for TRT. 1. I typically cannot...

    What Is Brain Tinnitus?

    Hello, I have noticed that some members have mentioned brain tinnitus in some of the threads. Can someone explain to me what brain tinnitus is? I have times when it seems as though I have multiple "almost inaudible" sounds pinging through my brain. Is that brain tinnitus?
