    TinnitusPlay — Mix, Modulate & Notch Sounds Tailored to Your Tinnitus

    I just ordered my very first laptop and it happens to be a MacBook Pro 14 inch with the M1 processor. Apparently the TinnitusPlay app will work on my laptop. Another few days until delivery and then I will test it out... fingers crossed.

    I got my first Pfizer shot on May 6. No change whatsoever regarding tinnitus or anything else. Glad I got it and more glad when I get my 2nd shot.

    Otonomy OTO-413 — Treatment of Hidden Hearing Loss

    So as I read it, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the focus at this time is unilateral tinnitus? This interests me as that is what my tinnitus is... in right ear.

    Flare Audio Calmer — Does It Help Tinnitus?

    My order to Canada never quite made it. Flare's shipping company wanted another $13 to clear from Canada customs. Seemed like a lot for a fairly cheap small item. Plus I got discouraged in spending more money to try something that a lot of people here say is crap for tinnitus. And I was not...

    Flare Audio Calmer — Does It Help Tinnitus?

    While perusing the latest research updates etc. this thread caught my attention . I looked Flare Audio up and was somewhat impressed by their response regarding recent tinnitus improvement testimonials. It was surprisingly frank and honest and was making no claims or promises... in fact they...

    The cost could be prohibitive for many sufferers. If it does indeed turn out to be all that it is claimed to be perhaps we, as a group, could create our own rental system? The dream scenario being, as members who can afford the cost are cured they could feasibly sell or rent the unit to...

    [Danny Boy Memorial Fund] In Loving Memory of Danny Boy

    There is too often very little sympathy or understanding out there. A couple of years ago I was feeling frustrated with my wife's lack of understanding. Rather than talk... I went to my computer, turned on YouTube, found a clip of a high frequency noise, similar to what I hear, and turned it...

    Sulodexide Possibly Benefits Chronic Tinnitus

    I am going back to Chiang Mai Thailand in a few weeks. I will be there for 3 months. Sulodexide is available and apparently manufactured in Bangkok. If I am unable to purchase without prescription I am going to be armed with copies of the various reports and find a Thai doctor who will do it...

    The Efficacy of Combined Treatment with Sulodexide and Melatonin in Patients with Tinnitus

    I'm going to give it a try soon. It is not available in Canada in pill form.Thailand happens to have a manufacturer. There is an element of serendipity involved for me as I happen to be going back there late August. I will gladly update results later this year. Hopefully some positive news .

    Can Tinnitus Really Go Away or Is It a Myth?

    will it go away ? Anything is possible with tinnitus. After just over 2 years of being suddenly and inexplicably afflicted by T in my right ear and consequently learning about others in similar situation, I have realized that T can be likened to snowflakes. All snowflakes are perceived as white...

    What Would You Do If Your Tinnitus Suddenly Stopped?

    My Tinnitus likes to tantalize me like that . I get hours ,sometimes more than a day of that wonderful nothing. Just beautiful external normal sounds. And I go to bed ,full of optimism that I am over the hump....and I am woken up again...robbed of my peace!. I suppose at this point I should be...

    What Has Tinnitus Taught You?

    How delicious and delightful it was when the only sounds that I heard were emanating from outside of my head and shown me that some things in life have no logical explanation. BTW just had 4 reasonably good days in a row...first time since onset 4 months ago...2 and 3 days ago virtual...

    I Think I Have No Baseline! Anyone Else?

    Totally agree with you ! Imagination and perception plays a big role, it seems. That's why I have been trying different things.....and now realize more and more that in my (our) case it makes no difference! Something physically ,somewhere in or between the ear and brain,doesn't work right...

    I Think I Have No Baseline! Anyone Else?

    I guess it's just a natural instinct ,at the beginning, for a curious mind to find some kind of a rational explanation.

    I Think I Have No Baseline! Anyone Else?

    Thanks RaZaH for comment. We share the weirdness of this thing. To me it feels like there is something trying to kick the switch off....but can't keep it off. So hard to explain something as imfathonal.

    I Think I Have No Baseline! Anyone Else?

    It is like living in a parallel universe. Also...just from my own personal experience so far....nothing alters the cycle. The first 3 months I was super healthy minded and conscious of foods,alcohol, sugers,caffeine. etc The last 3 weeks I have thrown caution to the wind. Drank some,smoked...

    I Think I Have No Baseline! Anyone Else?

    I read so often about people's baselines regarding the noise and intrusion levels. Yet, 3 and a half months later...the cycle just keeps repeating itself over and over,regardless of what I do,or think,asleep or awake. A day or two,sometimes more,of intense high noise...and then as if some...

    Which somehow makes us more vulnerable to this rotten T.! I consider myself as a secular humanist. My motivation to be good has never been motivated by an external diety ...it just feels right to be kind.

    What the Hell Is Happening to Me? Stopped Drinking Alcohol and Got Ringing...

    I drank a bunch of whiskey 3 days ago,with friends,and next morning my noisy right ear shut up for 2 days...lol...what I mean is that there is no one definitive answer so far. Just remember..your young...it just started awhile ago....and for many people it does go away. Hang in there...

    What the Hell Is Happening to Me? Stopped Drinking Alcohol and Got Ringing...

    It's still very early for you...and your young....chances are it will get better.See your doctor.Get your ears checked for ear wax build up.Get your hearing checked as well. It may well not be about the booze.!

    My Experiences and Attempts with Mr. Tinnitus

    I am very grateful for the days of quiet...and continue to try and stay positive and hopeful that this weird short circuit between my ear and brain will resolve itself. So my anecdotal advice is........ don't stress too much about what you eat,drink,etc. Let your hair down occasionally...

    Can Tinnitus Get Better, Then Worse, Then Better?

    Just what I have been thinking about most of the day. I am really new to this and a month ago I didn't even know what Tinnitus was. And then,about 4 weeks ago without warning,my right ear began its phantom wail. No meds involved as I didn't take any, probably a little accumulated noise over the...
