Canadian diplomat also affected https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/11/sonic-attack-canadian-diplomat-in-cuba-also-suffered-hearing-damage

I think it's been 3 weeks since I started taking the magnesium, b12 and b complex. I have felt fairly well. Still have tinnitus but I feel like I am having more good days than bad although I had an odd, unexpected spike a few days ago. I am happy with any improvement, have been sleeping well...

I feel like I am partially habituated LOL I hear it but it doesn't seem to bother me that much a good deal of the time. At first, I think I panicked for a bit. Now when it is there, I just go on about my business with it and there are days when I don't feel it that much at all. When I am very...

Apart from the shellfish and soy products, I also eat all of these foods daily. But I have seen improvement from the addition of the supplement. I suspect having a blood test is the proper way to go...but, frankly...I just tried the supplement. Doctors I've seen are so anti supplement. I have...

I feel much more calm and yes...the effect on my sleep has been very positive.

Agreed. I know all the negative press that oxide gets but it has been very helpful for me. I suspect it helps some and not others because it depends on the dosage and the cause of your tinnitus. Not saying it is some sort of miracle cure but I hope to take it long term. So far, only good has...

Another thing...although I went out searching for Magnesium Threonate which seems the more recommended...I ended up buying Magnesium Oxide which usually gets bad marks for absorption but I found a couple of studies that said Oxide was well absorbed also, although higher doses are recommended...

I started taking magnesium last Sunday, so now a week into it. At first, I felt the ringing got worse for about a day....then it eased off....and although I still hear it, the last two days have been pretty good. There is still ringing but it has diminished. A huge benefit has been my ability...

You're right, life is fun! But this constant "musical" accompaniment...not so much...

It is hard. Pain, lack of sleep, it is so difficult. Hoping you find something that helps you. Look for something you love that gives you joy. Something that consumes you. You can only think one thought at a time. You can be distracted and have the mind wander but if you focus on one good thing...

I think we need to do what helps us and others in the same position. I understand not wanting to be all Pollyanaish...but staying positive, looking for options that make you feel better tend to help more than despairing. When I first realized what was wrong, I heard such horror stories all...

Well...I don't think my "days off" are 24 hour periods. That Friday I mentioned was about 10 or 12 hours. Then it came back, but sort of "Tinnitus Lite". Next day, it was back to normal. It does seem like paradise when it goes away! Totally understand that "I love everybody" feeling when it is...

Well, you are able to handle it so even if it takes a long time...it can be done. That is something for those of us who are relatively new to this to remember. I don't want to be pessimistic, but I think this is going to be with me for the rest of my life. So, although I am looking for ways to...

Thank you. I actually think aspirin may be the culprit or at least one of them in my case. I never knew tinnitus could be a side effect. I have taken it regularly for many years for headaches, muscle aches. Not daily but...a few times a week and I have been reading tinnitus can result from use...

This was the list that gave me some comfort there. You're right it's nice to know we are not alone. http://www.stoptheringing.org/fame-wont-stop-the-ringing-20-celebrities-with-tinnitus/

Very good advice. Thank you for the reminder.

@Kieran D I have days without it now and again and it is so wonderful. I think my tinnitus is seriously affected by stress. I enjoy those days off so much. Friday before last I was totally tinnitus free, Wednesday it was relatively quiet although it was there and I was so happy! For some...

Thank you all for welcome. Last night tinnitus was so loud it was my brain had been invaded by an army of crickets! Better today I think. Funny @billie48 That you posted that video...coz when I found out what I had I searched for well known people who had it and it comforted me to be in...

Be Here Now

Hello all. I have had tinnitus on and off for a bit over a year. Not sure what brought it on. I love music and go to many concerts, have done so all my life but...I don't think I was exposed to anything beyond a relatively moderate level of sound. Not one to listen on headphones at a high...
