Yeah, I *hate* the random loud noises, but there's really nothing you can do about it -- who knows when they're coming, right? One thing I've noticed is that, not only have I lost high frequencies (over 12 Hz), but I can listen to the same song about 30 times and never really notice the lyrics...

Sorry, that was a different person. I know I can Google it, but what is a TENS unit?

My positive: You learn to tune it out. That's it. It seriously gets better, without a cure, without noise, without anything. It just goes to the background. The worst thing is to think about it, then it gets awful. It sound a little silly, but stop thinking about it.

I don't know, doesn't seem likely. How would jaw alignment cause Tinnitus? Your sleep will come back once you learn to tune it out..

I've had floaters for about 15+ years. I used to notice them a lot, but I haven't even thought about them for quite a while. They don't go away, but you'll get to the point where you don't even notice them..

I take Effexor for my anxiety and...it doesn't do anything for Tinnitus. You just tune it out -- it's like a Jedi Mind Trick. Reduction by attrition.

Mine is the same in both ears (*surround sound*), but I've had it so long it's second nature at this point.

Well, like I said, my wife had ringing in her ears and was complaining about it, so I played her the sound I hear all the time. She couldn't stand it after about two seconds. But, honestly, you do get used to it.

I'm new to the forum, but I don't understand why people go to the doctor for Tinnitus. It's pretty clear that there's no current cure, right?

I've never found anything that helps, but maybe others on here have? I realized a while ago that I tend to look at people's mouths when they talk instead of their eyes to help me understand what they're saying. Otherwise, I tend to ask them to repeat themselves a lot.

Trust me, as someone who's had it for a couple of decades, it definitely fades into the background before too long. The worst part is thinking about it, that's when you'll notice it the most.

I posted in a different thread, but this site is how I figured out my frequency: http://newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/hearing.html I don't know how to figure out the volume, though. I always put on the TV no matter what room I'm in, which my wife thinks is a mixture of hilarious and compulsive...

I personally found this one to be the most helpful identifying the frequency -- it probably only works if you have the "eeee" though: http://newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/hearing.html

The outpouring of support is overwhelming. Hah. :unsure:

I hope your T goes away! I can't hear anything above about 12 khz, unfortunately mine is a constant 8. It's been that way for many years. If it doesn't go away, it will eventually just fade into the background, where you won't notice it 99% of the time.

Really, you eventually just tune it out. I've had it for over 20 years, it just kind of becomes background noise for the most part.

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I've had tinnitus before I even knew what it was -- I've had it for at least 20 years, if not more. Mine is the "eeeeeeeee" at about 8hz from what I can tell. It's a constant in both ears. Before I started looking it up recently, I didn't realize...
