    This Seems to Be Helping

    Hi folks, I wanted to give an update to anyone who's interested: So after about nine months of this regimen, my overall T is quieter, and I have periods of a few hours to a few days where it's virtually undetectable or even gone. I will also get periods of a few hours to a couple of days where...

    Rebooting the Brain Helps Stop the Ring of Tinnitus in Rats

    This is from 2011, but I can't find anything more recent. Does anyone have any follow up reports or articles about this> https://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-01-rebooting-brain-tinnitus-rats.html

    This Seems to Be Helping

    I've posted here a little bit. Tinnitus started all the sudden one night in fall of 2015. while I was sleeping, loud enough to wake me up. It was really bad and got worse. It would change sounds, change volume, switch from ear to ear. I was so anxious I couldn't sleep or eat, lost twenty pounds...

    Anyone Have Tinnitus in Their Head?

    Mine is usually stronger on one side than the other, and often responds to my posture. It tends to get worse when sitting or especially lying down. Sometimes it will switch ears for some reason.

    Has Anyone Had Levaquin?

    Sorry for the late reply, I don't get here often. It turns out I'm allergic to fluoroquinolones. My feet went numb and swelled up so big I couldn't put shoes on. That was from one dose. I never took a second dose. The tinnitus spike subsided after a day, but months later my feet are still...

    Benadryl Reduces My Ear Ringing?

    I've had mixed results. I've taken Benadryl to help me sleep sometimes when the T is real loud, and got a different effect every time. Sometimes the T is quieter when I wake up, sometimes not. On one occasion I took it and when I woke up the T was almost silent and stayed that way most of the...

    Poll: Have You Found Out the Reason for Your Spikes?

    Another thing I've found caused a spike all three times I've taken it is Tylenol. All three times about 30 minutes after taking it I got a medium spike which lasted six hours. I took one 375mg tablet all three times.

    Has Anyone Else Had This Experience? Many Different Tinnitus Sounds...

    I'm 3 months in. The first month was constantly changing sounds, volume, pitch and ear. It would get really, really loud and jerk me out of sleep. I couldn't get more than 2 hours at a time, and not more than four a day total. I was prescribed klonopin, but I despise benzos so I only took about...

    Has Anyone Had Levaquin?

    Yeah, I won't be taking anymore of this crap. I thought I'd done due diligence about researching it, but evidently not. Some of my family have tinnitus and never had a problem with it. Of course I started Googling again and this time found a lot of anecdotal accounts claiming it...

    Poll: Have You Found Out the Reason for Your Spikes?

    Hi Ozzy, Sorry for the late reply, I don't get here much. I tried it a second time without honey and still got a spike, so no more of that for me.

    Has Anyone Had Levaquin?

    One dose of Levaquin and my tinnitus noise increased considerably. I didn't think to check the PDR. It's listed as causing tinnitus. I've never had this before, but my sister who also has tinnitus has taken it with no problems. If this spike is caused by the Levaquin, will it calm back down once...

    Anyone Experienced a Spike from Chamomile Tea?

    Thanks! I've been taking .0625mg clonazepam almost daily for six weeks. I doubled that last night to try to get some sleep. I'd like to quit taking it altogether, but it does help with sleeplessness and anxiety (usually). I wonder if I can start taking it every other day, then every 3 days for a...

    Poll: Have You Found Out the Reason for Your Spikes?

    I just found out that Chamomile tea makes mine spike pretty bad. I tried it after reading about a guy who found his would go away if he drank Chamomile tea. I don't know how long the spike lasts, I'm in the middle of it right now, and it's been about 9 hours.

    Anyone Experienced a Spike from Chamomile Tea?

    So yesterday was really quiet. Usually for me the noise is loud in the morning, but yesterday it was almost silent when I woke up. It was pretty quiet all day. I felt a chest cold coming on, so I did some reading about what I can take, and found a few recommendations for Chamomile tea, since it...

    [Simpsons] Hi Everybody!

    So my weekend out in the boonies didn't make the damned T quiet down. maybe the EMF explanation isn't it. I'm starting what is supposed to be a 9 month program of brain retraining via in-ear sound generation. It's pretty much the Jastreboff method, updated with new technology. I'll post my...

    Does Anyone Have Experience with General Hearing Aids/Tranquil & TRT?

    Hi folks, I just got my Tranquil II OTE maskers today. They way my Otoneurologist explained the program is that they're supposed to train your brain to ignore the tinnitus by convincing it via constant harmless pink or white noise that it's not dangerous and doesn't need monitored. It is...

    [Simpsons] Hi Everybody!

    Once again I had to make a cell phone call, and once again my T got louder. That's three days in a row.

    [Simpsons] Hi Everybody!

    BTW, does anyone else find that spikes in T volume are accompanied by hyperacusis?

    [Simpsons] Hi Everybody!

    Well, I've had an unpleasant experience with cell phones the last two days. After three days of the tinnitus being quiet enough that I could almost ignore it, I had to spend an hour on the phone Monday, and by the end of the call my ears were going berserk. They finally quieted down some by...

    [Simpsons] Hi Everybody!

    I'll definitely let you know. I don't know what to make of the electro-smog stuff either. My first experience was pretty powerful, but I haven't been able to duplicate it. The reading I've done about it consists of MD's and PhD's on both sides, each claiming the other side are liars and...

    [Simpsons] Hi Everybody!

    One other thing I'm going to try is hypnosis. My Oto-neurologis thought that would be helpful, particularly Ericksonian hypnosis. Again, I'll keep you posted if you're interested.

    [Simpsons] Hi Everybody!

    Hi Dr Nick! [/Simpsons] Hi folks, I had tinnitus develop suddenly on Oct 31 of this year. I'd been having some pretty bad anxiety for 3-4 months leading up to it, but no tinnitus, except for once in great while, years and years apart I'd get a high pitched sound in one ear for a few seconds...
