I've been using 0.5 clonazepam sporadically and it makes my T quiet, not sure if it's just because I'm more relaxed or that I just don't care when clonazepam kicks in, but tomorrow it's the same old story. 1 mg definitely makes me a bit hung over the next day.

Hey any musicians here that still play know with what noise levels are they comfortable with?

Wondering how OP is doing these days?

Sorry to hear this man, I do music for a hobby and it's frustrating with T, let alone to be a full time job. But hang in there and get a lot of antioxidants, try TRT and avoid silence for the time being.

I think it got worse from the rehearsal I had today although the volume was 80 Db at max and I had both earplugs and active earmuffs so I assume there was no way for me to get acoustic trauma except for maybe irritate my T a little. I think my anxiety about it is enhancing it, quite ironic eh...

Umm it says Moxi Kiss and then on the side Flex Trial. Yeah, the technology is awesome isn't it? :)

No she didn't mention that, hope she didn't trick me.

Haha, very nice pattern there mate! :D What Emgs are those?

Neuromodulation is very interesting. I don't hear my T when I wear my WNG, just a pleasant distant white noise. But when I take them off to go to sleep it's very present and loud, hard for me to fall asleep. Wondering if it's because my ears are getting used not to hear the T so it sounds more...

My guitar is coming along nicely. :)

Lol

This is what they look like.

I'm on trial for 10 days with these WNGs I've used it yesterday, that's the second day, for 12 hours and when I went to bed my T was more present or should I say a tad louder. Same happened the night before. I couldn't sleep normally. Even the noise generating pillow didn't help. Is this...

I've used it yesterday, that's the second day, for 12 hours and when I went to bed my T was more present or should I say a tad louder. Same happened the night before. I couldn't sleep normally. Is this normal for the first few days?

My gf just woke me up by calling me on the phone in the middle of the night and my T is very loud, I can't sleep how loud it is since I press my ears to the pillow when I sleep. Hopefully it's because of noise generators and not the band rehearsal, I've been told by my audiologist it can worsen...

Will do. :) The white noise for me is tiring to listen to all the time, I've just pulled it out. I had it in my ears for almost five hours. Tinnitus wasn't lower either, actually was a tad more present than normal but that could've been from rehearsal. You have a remote to control the levels of...

I've just had my noise generators fitted today for a 10 days trial. But she said I can't sleep in them and they do not notch out my T frequencies in the white noise. I thought TRT was all about that? It costs 1500 eur which is crazy! And had a rehearsal with a band today, with earplugs and...

Thank you guys for your replies. I've just had my noise generators fitted today for a 10 days trial. But she said I can't sleep in them and they do not notch out my T frequencies in the white noise. I thought TRT was all about that? Also had a rehersal with a band today, with earplugs and...

Ugh, the pillow wasn't that helpful. I tried to sleep with the pillow emitting white noise rain sound only and woke up numerous times through the night from the sound and my T was quite loud in the morning.

Thanks @Engineer. Was just reading your thread. I've found some cheap noise generators from China and India via Alibaba.com. Not sure how crappy they are since they are like 100 bucks but probably pretty crappy haha. :)

Yes, they offer you to try it for a week before purchase. So I will try it and try to replicate it with the mp3 player, Audacity and earphones. I'm not even sure if he notched out my tinnitus frequencies in the brown noise today. Oh and I bought the noise generator pillow for 20 bucks, because...

Hey guys, thank you for all the replies and all the valuable info and for sharing your experiences! I was there today, it's actually 1500 € and not around 1000 € like my Dic first said. I've tried it and I really couldn't hear T over the enjoyable brown noise (or pink, def wasn't white) but I...

I apologize if this is old news and has been posted already. I've searched for it and didn't find it. Hope this isn't the same thing as AM-101. Taken from: http://www.healthyhearing.com/report/52552-New-medicine-shows-promise-in-hearing-loss-treatment New medicine shows promise in hearing loss...

Thank you Cheza! :)

Thank you PaulBe.

Wow, that was helpful. Could you at least provide some links to threads or articles why TRT doesn't work?

Hello, long story short I went to a clinic today specializing in tinnitus only and they've done a lot of tests on me and the Doctor offered me noise generators which are supposed to be around 1000 eur which is quite expensive for me. It has three regimes of functioning and I'm supposed to wear...

Greetings, has anybody tried this and does it work?

Thanks MikeA, I plan on using custom earplugs made from the impressions of my ear canals and active earmuffs, Peltor Tactical XP, hope that helps me. I am planning active earplugs, has anybody used or is using ones? Yeah, I'll try to avoid guitar amps and monitors playing directly into me. It's...

I'm so glad you're doing better man! From what I understood you were having real problems with your T. What is phototherapy?

Hi, do you think SecureEar is better than these ones? http://pro.ultimateears.com/products/hearing-protection/microsonic-earplugs I want to buy ones but not sure which ones are the best?

Well they are not, but I still hear metalish sound when I'm in my room. My left ear hurts a little bit after wearing custom silicone earplugs, probably because it's stabbing my eardrum a little, going to a doctor to adjust that.

Wonder how op is doing?

Why for a year though? Doctor told me to pause for 3 months, it's been almost five.

Hey Bobby B, what've you been up to of late? :) Thanks for the reply, yeah I'll try that as well for sure.

Thank you Sebastians, yeah Kramer just pulls you to play it doesn't it? :D I didn't have Floyd Rose on the guitar in high school so I'm making up for it now! :) Thank you for the reply, yeah I don't care what anybody else thinks of me anymore, they're not the one who's going to endure restless...

The Kramer one is going to looks like this, flame maple top, only probably more reddish color.

Wow, yeah, that's what I felt last night, bass frequency vibrating through my body. Why does everybody have to play so loud? This was an ambiental jazz gig and even they played pretty loud. My bandmates are reassuring me how it won't get worse because they were exposed ten time more without...

Hey all, a small update from me. I've learned not to notice my T, to stop responding emotionally to it and use tinnitus maskers when it's too silent to ignore it or when I go to sleep. I just got tired of being worried all the time. I almost stopped hearing it two weeks ago but then I went to a...

Hey, Sebastians. Yes, I did had H in the first week after I got T. Yeah, the real bummer is I've ordered two custom electric guitars made for me and they are being finished this month. I guess I'll try and see what happens. Why do you think I should stay away from the bass amp? I'm asking...

Also I did went to a club for the first time last week after December with earplugs to see what will happen and I didn't hear any worsening of my T after I came back home. BUT sure enough tomorrow, whether it was from me focusing to hear my T or from the exposure I've started hearing it again...

Hey all, I've contracted Tinnitus last December from playing a very loud gig with my band and had moderate T with different but multiple frequencies in both of my ears ever since. I've learned not to notice it, to stop responding emotionally to it and use tinnitus maskers when it's too silent to...

@attheedgeofscience Yes, I would love to see it as well if it's not a problem as I'm a rock musician who is suffering from hair loss as well as tinnitus. :) There is a adipose stem cell hair loss treatment being offered from Kerastem so the fact that you've got hair regrowth from your stem cell...

Man... This makes me seriously worried and a bit depressed... :\ I've had T since 25th of December last year and I'm considering buying two custom hand made guitars just for me because I thought I could continue playing with custom built earplugs and these active earmuffs...

I've noticed some cracking sound in my in my ears when I swallow or when I try to blow the air through my ears by plugging my noise with my fingers (in the lack of a better expression). Also started feeling some strange low intensity kind of a pressure sensation on my ears yesterday and the day...

I'm not here everyday so in case of an emergency you can add me on skype if you want: sebastian_melmotte or on fb: https://www.facebook.com/sebastianmelmotte Also try using tinnitus maskers, they helped me the most with not hearing my damn tinnitus. There are many more on the web...

Hey Sidnancee! Sorry to hear about your problem. I am flattered that you've registered just to communicate with me. Does your tinnitus fluctuate or it's constant? First of all DO NOT worry, I know when you read that tinnitus is permanent and that there's no cure it's an instant panic attack...

Saw somebody got it on the Fb Tinnitus support group

What about those tinnitus maskers/white noise therapy gadgets that look like hearing aid? Supposedly you wear this up to 6 hours a day to re-train the brain not to hear the ringing.

Sorry to hear about this, but don't worry, it happened to us all. I've suffered from heartbreaks my whole teenagehood and a good deal in my twenties, I was hearbroken almost a year when I was 17 so to spare you from the same experience I would wholeheartedly recommend this book...

Thank you for the reply @Bobby B ! :) Well if it gets softer then that is still a recovery. I'm afraid to play live though maybe with custom earplugs combined with active or passive earmuffs while playing on normal audio levels I can maximize protection. And staying away from the direct sound...

Well I've regained my emotional well being in a matter of half an hour reading through this forum and playing some nice audio tinnitus maskers. I really deeply appreciate this forum. I'm really interested in trying Back To Silence method. Realized that my tinnitus is louder today because I've...

Hey @Bobby B :) If you were asking me, my tinnitus is still here, I've started noticing it again because it's been 2 months and 10 days so I thought it would go away by now but doctors told me that from their experience it doesn't go away if it's present after two months and I have to learn to...

These are the active ear muffs I've ordered. Found them cheap on ebay: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_EU/PPE_SafetySolutions_EU/Safety/Product_Catalogue/~/3M-PELTOR-Tactical-XP-Flex-Headset?N=7576577+3294363900+3294857473&rt=rud

hardcore sex or gardening hahah. Doctor advised me to use active earmuffs, supposedly they block the higher more harmful Dbs. I've ordered this one...

I've spoke to some friends who are famous and semi famous musicians, and they don't have it and some of them played their whole life without ear protection. I've got it from one gig after 6 years, ONE f*cking gig is all it takes. I really feel life is a bit unfair at the moment, although I know...

So I'm back. I apologize for being absent, the Dr. that I went to said that if I keep noticing my tinnitus there's is a chance it will be chronic so I've did my best for the last month and a half to ignore it as much as possible so I was absent from the forums as well because I didn't want to...

Yes but it's 500 mg. I guess I'll just take two twice a day.

@AnxiousJon Bioflavonoids arrived today! :) How much should I take per day? How much do you take per day? Cheza I've got the 500 mg one.
