    Some People Use Tinnitus as an Excuse to Get Benzos?

    I was chatting with a close friend who is with LAPD and we were both talking about each other’s issues as we get older. He was telling me about his issues with tennis elbow and I told him about my tinnitus and how annoying it’s been ever since I got it a year ago. His reaction took me a bit by...

    I Had a Great Experience at the Beach with My Tinnitus

    Funny title, I know, I just couldn’t think of a better one. Anyhow I just came back from Mexico, where I went to this little resort with my girlfriend and her family. When I was there I found myself thinking about my tinnitus only a handful of times. It was a combination of the distractions...

    I came accross this article that talks about green light being able to lower pain in some patients, especially as it relates to migraines. The treatment involves sitting in a dark room with a green light, but if you scroll to the bottom, the article talks about trying green tinted sunglasses...

    Can Sound Sensitive Tinnitus Be Treated?

    Hi Doctor, Thank you very much for your time and answering some of our questions on here. I developed tinnitus almost a year ago. It started about a week after I went to a loud club for New Year's, so my guess is that is what caused it. I immediately went to an ENT as the tinnitus I have is...

    Hiking and Camping in High Winds — Do I Need Hearing Protection?

    Hey everyone, I’m going to be doing some wild camping and hiking next weekend and typically, where I’m going, the winds can reach 30-40 mph, sometimes even higher. My question is, if I wear a hat, that will cover my ears, is that enough to deflect some of the wind from my ears or should I wear...

    Silence Solution — Silent Ear Formula: Is It a Scam? Any Reviews?

    Hi all, since my acid reflux is finally under control, I would like to give some supplements a shot until I get my appointment at Neuromod (which probably won’t be for at least three or four months). I found this one, that seems to have decent reviews, while doing research for supplements that...

    Going on a Road Trip — Should I Wear Earplugs in the Car?

    Hi all! My tinnitus started in January, a few days after going to a club. It’s sort of better but after going to a concert about a month ago it got worse but again, is now finally getting back to where it was. However now I’m a bit paranoid and maybe over protecting my ears. I’m heading on a...

    Does One with Noise Induced Hearing Loss Need to Worry About Dementia?

    Hi all! So I came accross a few articles that say if you have hearing loss, you are at a greater risk for dementia. Exactly what I needed for my stress, lol... I have a little hearing loss, at high frequency, so it doesn’t seem to affect my day to day hearing and conversations with people. But...

    How to Use Pink/White Noise for Treating Reactive Tinnitus?

    Hello again, I'm trying to get my hyperacusis (so called reactive tinnitus) under control and tinnitus as well. It has gotten worse after a concert I went to over a week ago now. My tinnitus is a screeching 8500 Hz type buzz that goes up if the TV or fan come on (even if they're not loud) but if...

    What Helps Most When Reactive Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Creep Back In?

    Hi all, I initially got tinnitus is back in January. It started about 10 days after I went to a really loud club and was dancing with my girlfriend next to a loudspeaker. When I first noticed the tinnitus it was reactive, so to speak. That lasted for about 3 to 4 months and eventually calmed...
