This track of crickets is the best thing I've found for masking. It's fantastic for my main tinnitus though it doesn't do so well with the extremely high frequency that pops up in my left ear at times. Anyway, put it on a single loop. In Spotify go to your settings > playback and set the...

Sorry to hear. I sleep with cricket sounds on every night now. It's the best relief I've found and really quite nice. I like this video, but there's plenty out there:

It's mostly mindfulness exercises. Being aware of your jaw, always trying to keep it loose. I never let my teeth touch if I can avoid it. The doctor suggested an app on your phone, that will remind you at set or random intervals. He has some Android app but I have an iPhone, so I mostly just...

I recently went to a neck and face pain specialist. I've had TMJ since I was like 8 years old. He prescribed me some cyclobenzaprine, and some mindfullness exercises to keep my jaw loose all day long. I hate being optimistic about anything regarding my T, because so much seems anecdotal...

It is indeed, but apparently it's also a homeopathic remedy for pain. Everything I'm seeing online is very hippy-dippy, and knowing my line of work it's most likely snake oil.

Anyone know anything about this stuff? There's a couple bottles sitting on the free shelf at my work right now.

Eight days in, and still feeling much better. If I get poor sleep the T will still go up in loudness, but not to levels I was experiencing previously.

Yeah I figured there is definitely a purging process that takes a long time. I'm feeling great right now, though!

OK, friends. My first update this week. I'll give you the tl;dr first. tl;dr: I'm 3 full days without gluten, and I haven't felt this good since July when this all started. Some more background. My T started last July when I was under a ton of stress. I was leaving Chicago, where I had lived...

After my most miserable weekend to date, I've adopted a gluten free lifestyle starting this week. I'll keep everyone updated on my progress through the week.

This crickets track saved me from losing sleep. I listen to it on repeat every night. It squashes the tinnitus better than anything else I've tried.

I just watched that whole thing. I'm definitely interested in this diet, just for a general health and lifestyle change.

I haven't done the keto diet in some time. I'm thinking now that my T might be more related to muscular stress than anything. I want to go to a doctor, but I feel like I have symptoms of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

Has anyone here been diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome? For quite some time now, I've had an extreme trigger point under my right clavical (behind it, not below). Previously in my life I've experienced some trauma on this side of my body due to bicycle accidents (being hit by a car)...

I'm super curious about this but god damn it seems expensive. $299 for the unit and 4 strips. After that, strips comes as 5-packs for $19.99 or you can enter a subscription service to get packs at a discount. Can any users please weigh in with their experiences? Because outside of any effect...

Even if it's not technically a treatment for tinnitus, this kind of news gaining the attention it is can only be a good thing for the treatment of our affliction going forward.

This post is at the top of ALL of reddit right now. http://www.neuroscientistnews.com/research-news/discovery-genes-involved-inner-ear-development-hints-way-restore-hearing-and-balance

Anyone who doesn't have the condition doesn't understand it. When I try to explain it to people they're like "oh, that sucks." Well, "sucks" doesn't really begin to cover it. I don't resent them for it. ENTs on the other hand should stop with their antiquated view on the condition and instead...

Lots of defeatist attitudes around here. I know it's shitty news, but you need to approach your condition with some positivity and hopefulness or I'd wager you'll only make it worse. There's still research being conducted elsewhere. Eventually, even if it's years from now, someone somewhere will...

It changes. Mine started as a pure tone tinnitus in my right ear around...4900Hz maybe? Now it's definitely a white noise/cicada sound somewhere between 3900-6000 but it's harder to pinpoint. Habituation definitely happens, though, so take solace in that. When mine first started it was driving...

Honestly I didn't notice it having any effect on my mood. If anything I was actually probably a little more upbeat since I was/am losing weight as a byproduct of the diet which is pretty awesome!

Just wanna chime in and say that I broke my diet last weekend (and also went to a concert). My T has been varying degrees of shitty all week. I'm currently in a living situation where strictly controlling my diet is pretty difficult. Next week I move into my own place where I'll have more room...

Just like to offer a quick update. There's a general hiss in my head now, but it doesn't seem to be connected to my right ear like it has been for the last 3 months. Very strange indeed.

I'd suggest going to www.reddit.com/r/keto for more information on ketogenics. I'm not an expert.

I just want to share that I've severely limited my carbohydrate intake since Sunday, and right now I'm at 0 - 0.5 T. I'm truly astounded. It's almost pure silence right now.

This is so strange. My T had been improving all week as I had been watching my diet. However, at work when I'm in meetings it would always be the worst, because the meeting room is particularly quiet and I couldn't help but notice the computer fan noise in my right ear. Beyond this, over the...

I thought it had something to do with your body producing ketones. In this thread, member Sound Wave posted an article: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/diets-effect-on-tinnitus.552/page-5 "It says, "Ketogenic diets seem to favor glutamate becoming GABA rather than aspartate." As we know...

I'll respond by saying that I attempted ketosis a few weeks ago, and it really seemed to be working. But then I had a setback (don't know exactly why) and so I kind of said "fuck it" and just started eating/drinking whatever again. Over the last weekend I ate a lot of pizza and drank a lot of...

Well...that's just a press release, not an actually helpful review. From the sort of vague descriptions of the product I'm extremely skeptical. The fact that you have to buy into their program (which apparently involves buying an iPad and iPod Touch?) seems even more fishy. If it's just an app...

Haha, well it's worth a shot, isn't it?!?

And if this is so radically stupid that you don't want people seeing it I'm happy to delete it.

Regarding the AM-101 treatment, they do a intratympanic injection to get close to the inner ear. Would it be hypothetically possible to get some ketamine, dilute it in some distilled water, run that baby through a neti pot and then force the water into your tympani by gently "blowing your nose"...

I spoke with one of the researchers for this study yesterday. You say you were denied because your tinnitus is too mild...I'm concerned they'll tell me the same thing! Mine is pretty mild, but I work in a super quiet office environment so I can hear it pretty much 100% of the time when we're in...

Yeah, what kind of masking are we talking about here? Nothing is mentioned in the Method portion of the study. Notch therapy? ACRN? Frequency discrimination? Just plain old masking with crickets and water?

I qualify for AM-101. I'm in Minneapolis, and it would require me to go spend 5 days in Des Moines, IA. I think I could make this work with my job, but I'm wondering if people here in the community would think it's worth it? A little history about my T. I've been in bands for most of my adult...

No medication. Gonna buy some anti-inflammatory supplements today and I'm thinking about changing over to a ketogenic diet to try and get this under control. Like I said, I'm probably more mild than most but it's awfully annoying.

Yeah, when it first started happening I was hoping it would help me unlock some sort of interaction with the T. Last night it was just scary, though.

Hi, everyone. I'm new here. My T started in July. It's pretty mild overall, from what I can tell, and for that I am thankful. However, last night I couldn't stop thinking about it and had a very, very hard time falling back asleep. As I finally started to drift off, something happened. It's...
