Have just read that 'depression affects 62 percent of people with tinnitus' (at: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/04/05/magnesium-tinnitus-relief.aspx ) Is this true? Are 62% of us depressed? I'm not & never have been but am interested in responses to this. Click

Has anyone managed to find Coenzymated Vitamin B1 (or a Coenzymated B Complex) without magnesium stearate in it? I seem to be getting nowhere with this! Thanks.

Trying to find people with same type of T as me so that we can compare symptoms etc. (including tinkli bells :) ). My T can buzz for three days and then go away for a 10 hour stretch. Sometimes T will be there first thing in the morning and then disappear for the rest of the day (and night)...

This made an interesting read - I was trying to find out whether nitrous oxide was ototoxic (dentists use it) & came across this. → The NO/ONOO- Cycle as the Etiological Mechanism of Tinnitus Apologies if it's already in a thread somewhere - I did a search and found no references to it.

Has anyone tried avoiding tyramine to control their T? It was mentioned on the Vestibular Disorders website [ http://vestibular.org ] as a migraine trigger and the foods high in this enzyme seem to correlate well with quite a few of the 'triggers' that set my T into a spin. Eg. peanut butter...

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but I can't find the relevant thread. Anyone who has had an op with a general anaesthetic whilst they have had T ... could you please let me know whether it affected your tinnitus? Thanks Click

Does anyone here have a fontanelle that hasn't completely closed? It's supposed to completely (I think) by the age of 1 to 3 years. When I was a teenager I realised that I could press on mine and feel a small gap and the membrane beneath (between the three fontanelle - central) when my...

Some 'new to me' things listed at this site (apologies if they have already all been posted somewhere): http://www.randombio.com/tinnitus.html ... Continuous ringing In this type of tinnitus, the patient hears a continuous, high-pitched ringing or hissing sound that is unaffected by body...

Haven't heard of this one before but was searching the net in an idle moment and came across tinnitus being caused by nerve damage when the cause of the nerve damage was the chicken pox virus. I had chicken pox as a child and in 2007 after my Dad died I had a nasty painful patch on my arm for...

Has anyone found that having their hair cut... the actual combing / cutting / drying process (rather than just the fact that your hair is shorter :oops: ) - makes your T change / go weird / buzz more / buzz differently ?

ok enough is enough. I'm sick of it now. Even on the low days I am completely sick of it. It's not so bad during the day - you can keep your mind on other things and keep busy. Most days I'm feeling positive but I just have these moments when I really don't want to get 'busy' - I just want to...

A couple of weeks ago I walked past a van with an alarm going off. I instinctively pressed in the outer part of my ears with my fingers to prevent me hearing it so loudly. It worked beautifully - better than any ear plugs - but something strange happened and I'd like to know if it happens to any...

I've noticed that quite a few of us seem to work in IT and I'm just wondering if it's relevant.. Are people who work long hours at a computer more prone to T? Is programming/software development affecting us? Noise of hard drive/fan/whatever - staring at a monitor? Or maybe there aren't...

Has anyone here had an Impedance Audiometry test? See: http://www.medicalhealthtests.com/medical-tests/impedance-audiometry.html

Somewhere on this forum I read that Gala apples helped reduce the level of T. So I changed my apple order this week to Gala. Ate them covered with loads of cinnamon. T went RIGHT down. Tested it later by separating - eating the apples without the cinnamon and the cinnamon without the...

For all of you out there who have T that varies or goes away and comes back... I've now had 2 weeks with pretty mild T or non-existent T. There was a short lived spike when I ate sodium nitrate and there have been days when the hissing is slightly louder than others but overall something has...

I've had 9 and a half days of very quiet or non existent T. Been sucking menthyl & eating spicy foods because I'm suspecting congested eustachian tubes as reason for T. Had something with potassium nitrate in it earlier today and POW - the T went through the roof. Edit - it was sodium nitrate...

Interesting article I'd thought I'd share. I'm an atheist but as the article states 'it's a theory' & it's written beautifully :LOL: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/shut-and-listen/201005/is-tinnitus-really-god

Fish I remember you mentioning something to do with this or something very similar ages ago? Sorry.. can't find the thread! - and thought you may be interested in the following from a pilots' forum - the pilots are suffering from ear problems...

I've read the threads where some people have louder/worse T when they are stressed or anxious. Stress and anxiety don't affect the level of my T. I've carefully considered and monitored this and, for me, it really doesn't. I've read those about certains food/drink making it 'spike'... mine...

A TENS Unit on Amazon.com You can buy Tens machines for around £30 in the UK & I've known many people use them successfully for back pain. Anyway.. I was wandering around the net and came across a few posts about using them for tinnitus. As usual there are sites saying it works and sites...

Not sure whether it's 'good' to post this but at least it is positive and I really like reading positive posts on this forum.. so here goes.. Mine has gone again. For the last hour I've been listening & listening - went into a totally quiet room where I can always hear it more than the other...

Has anyone tried this? See section 3 of the 'top five treatment approaches' at: http://dremilykane.com/2002/05/10/top-five-remedies-for-tinnitus/ I'm having trouble finding my 'tonsillar pillar' ! _________________________________________________________________________________ Added by...

Could anyone who has had an xray for teeth let me know please if it affected their T? I have to have an 'all round' x ray and I'm scared!

Could anyone who was referred for TRT in the UK please let me know how it went? Was it through the NHS or privately done? Did they just give you a hearing aid that made a hissing sound & tell you to go away? Did you have counselling? Did anyone have a therapist trained in Jastreboff methodology...

I had one of the worse nights ever with T last night. It screamed and stopped me sleeping. I finally gave in at 3am and got up. My reaction to it these days is different from the beginning - I still hate it but there's a kind of 'acceptance' so I tend not to panic too much. But last night it...

Have just seen a report that says hearing can be affected by paracetamol. 21% more likely to lose some hearing is a high percentage. If this is true then surely paracetamol affects ears in some way. It's the one thing I thought was ok with T...

Looking at the B vitamin supplements available I've noticed that most contain calcium in the form of Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate. As I've read that calcium can cause T this worries me. Just wondering if all those taking B vits are taking a brand without this?

Have just moved and had five and a half days without a main internet connection (just a dongle that didn't connect for longer than a few seconds at a time). It was bliss. The T was there but SO low I hardly noticed it much. Yesterday Virgin Media installed their 'Super Hub' modem/router and...

Thursday and Friday - for all but 10 minutes of really light noise (I had to listen for it) first thing in the morning - my T was gone. It was wonderful. It's back buzzing today and even though it's not loud it feels worse than ever because 'it wasn't there' and now it is.

Apologies - another question! Since the T started I get cramp really badly in a number of toes (all at once) and at other times in my whole hand. I eat healthily and my diet doesn't seem to be deficient in magnesium etc. and so I'm associating it (possibly incorrectly) with the T. Would really...
