Hi all It can get better, even though it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to think so, when I got tinnitus and fell down into the spiral of anxiety and despair. I guess I have habituated... I rarely think about or notice tinnitus during the days. I hear it when I am listening music with closed headphones...

"New evidence has been found that mindfulness meditation reduces pain more effectively than placebo. The study used a two-pronged approach -- pain ratings and brain imaging -- to determine whether mindfulness meditation is merely a placebo effect. Seventy-five healthy, pain-free participants...

Not fun. Not fun at all. Constant deep nerve pain in the buttock area, that radiates into the entire leg. VERY painful during the night when laying down, which makes sleep practically impossible. Pain killers don't seem to help. So why I am posting about this into a T forum? First, this is...

Has anyone tried this? Sounds like worth a try to many of us. "SuperBetter helps you achieve your health goals — or recover from an illness or injury — by increasing your personal resilience. Resilience means staying curious, optimistic and motivated even in the face of the toughest...

This should interest us. I just might back this one... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1861630723/take-control-of-your-sleep-with-kokoon-eeg-headpho

This treatment might interest those who have trigger point, neck and shoulder issues that relate to their T. Kinesio taping is becoming more and more popular treatment in physiotherapy for various muscle and fascia disorders. Treating T with kinesio taping is interesting, but I personally don't...

Saw this in Medium top 5 articles https://medium.com/bad-words/the-art-of-competition-5b7b3704d8c2

So, shall we start to eat more curry and experiment the link to T?... :) http://www.bbc.com/news/health-29361351

Just saw this. I wonder could we beam masking sounds directly 'into our head'? Ping @Steve our audio guru for thoughts :) http://www.soundlazer.com/what-is-a-parametric-speaker/

This is a great article about the rise of ADHD by New York Times. It says for example: "The adults with A.D.H.D. had significantly fewer D2 and D3 receptors (two specific subtypes of dopamine receptors) in their reward circuits than did healthy controls" ...and interestingly, these two D2 and...

Hi Jennifer. What is your opinion on listening to music / sounds when practicing mindfulness or meditation? I personally can't (yet) sit in silence without being distracted by my tinnitus.

I wonder if these new hyperactive brain cells are behind tinnitus...? :) http://sciencealert.com.au/news/20143110-26437.html

This New York Times article is relevant to this thread and very intersting. Regarding T, if something gets rid of it, I personally would welcome it whole heartedly, whether it's placebo or not... :)...

I read this recently and thought this is worth sharing here. As we know, constant listening and thinking of T combined with gloomy thoughts of the future is hell. It is also the opposite of living in presence, i.e. being mindful of the presence. So, how to live with presence should be a life...

If we define a spike in tinnitus as a temporary increase in tinnitus volume, which eventually settles down again, what has been the longest spike you have had? (I am asking because I have a spike going on for a third week now).

Saw this via Twitter and I think it's worth sharing. Good ideas, hints and tips here. http://lesswrong.com/lw/4su/how_to_be_happy/

Many here have told their habituation stories have started with 'F**k tinnitus' turning point attitude in their mind. This reminded me of a book I read recently. It's called F**k it and here's it's description. It's a good book and can probably help many of us here. :) - - - Saying F**k It is...

Good short TED talk about seeing into the brain in real time http://www.ted.com/talks/christopher_decharms_scans_the_brain_in_real_time

So this begs the question, that has anybody with T tried this? I am serious. :) If this study is right, which makes sense at least to me, this could be a trial for somebody who is dedicated enough. Just stay in darkness for some days and see if your brain starts to remap -> hearing improves ->...

Training program for Philips sound engineers, which you can also try now online. Quite interesting especially for serious music listeners and audiophiles. https://www.goldenears.philips.com

Hello Dr Nagler. First, I truly appreciate your effort to help us here. Now to the question - why many people with tinnitus feel fullness in the ear? This puzzles me, because at least my fullness feels 'very physical', i.e. there is something abnormal 'physically / mechanically' somewhere in my...

I recently bought this book and today realized this approach could also help with T habituation. It's about making small 'microresolutions' in your daily life in order to achieve a larger change you are looking for. For example, a goal to reduce weight is very hard to achieve for many. The...

I am one. Or at least I used to be one. I think I got my T from headphone listening, which sucks and it put my hobby into pause. I am now noticing myself returning to sites like Head-Fi etc, where I by the way use the same alias Sound Wave. I have three setups. If there are other audiophiles...

This is quite a strange approach imho, since ED drugs with sildenafil like Viagra have also been linked to sudden hearing loss and T in humans...? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24662845 Abstract Blast-induced tinnitus, along with associated auditory impairment and traumatic brain injury...

Found this study while reading Head-Fi and InnerFidelity and thought it might interest some of us in this community... http://www.pnas.org/content/110/Supplement_2/10430.full Abstract Music has existed in human societies since prehistory, perhaps because it allows expression and regulation of...

I just read this interesting article about lucid dreaming and it sparked an idea that could one try to control / change T during lucid dreaming. Any lucid dreamers here amongst us? :) http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/04/the-ways-to-control-dreaming/360032/

I visited a famous Finnish tinnitus doctor yesterday. She has written her PhD thesis about somatic tinnitus and trigger point injections. Here's a link to her thesis and a video of the injection method. The first thing she examined was if I had Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). (I...

This form of biohacking is indeed growing. Are there any DIYers here who experiment with tDCS and their tinnitus? http://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/reviews/the-latest-diy-craze-brain-hacking Reddit seems to have tDCS & tinnitus experimentes...

I have now exepriences this two times. Headache which starts to radiate from the back of my head on the T side to above the eyes and I also feel/hear loud 'whooshing' / 'rattling' sounds inside my head like if blood was flowing or something. Hard to describe. When this happened for the first...

I wonder could this help with T together with sound therapy...? http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2014/03/13/289787263/electronic-headband-prevents-migraines-with-tiny-jolts

Many discussion forums have 'sticky' discussion threads that are always on the top and considered the most useful for new members and top discussion topics. I haven't seen one here and I propose we create one with this topic - what to do in the very first days when you experience tinnitus. I...

I have had T now for about three months. Left side, high-pitched hissing which sometimes fluctuates. It is worse during the night. I have a history of bruxism and neck/shoulder pain and they all seem related to my T. For example trigger point self massage to my left sternocleidomastoid (SCM)...
