    Hearing Aids

    I could, if I remember it, ask my audiologisy about this when I meet her next week.

    Hearing Aids and Tinnitus?

    I've had my hearing aids for a week now and I think they will help quite a bit. My tinnitus is a high frequency hiss and I have high frequency hearing loss. My hearing aids give me back some of those high frequencies without doing much to the rest and while it does not take my tinnitus away it...

    Meditation Practice to Deal With Tinnitus Suffering

    Lorenzo my friend, There's no real change in volume or pitch when I meditate "on" my T but as by being with it I calm down and it becomes less stressful. And as for the nada yoga idea, sound is a powerful tool for meditation as it tends to shut down the chatter of the mind. We have it so why...

    Meditation Practice to Deal With Tinnitus Suffering

    Another point with nada yoga or sound meditation... if you're anyway stuck with this sound in your head you could as well start to love it. I mean, you can go the vipassana route and be indifferent to it but you could go further and see it as your way to nirvana. And the thing is that many have...

    Meditation Practice to Deal With Tinnitus Suffering

    I am familiar with the tradition, yes. And you describe the method better and in more detail. To observe without emotional reaction, sure, but also, observe the emotional reaction if there is one anyway. And if the pain (T or whatever kind of pain) is overwhelming and you can't distance yourself...

    40 Years with Tinnitus

    The first 25 years I didn't know that it was tinnitus. All I knew was that silence had a sound and some how I'm almost sad I learned about tinnitus :) I think this type of T that you and I have is the kind that stays very stable and is mainly caused by some sort of hearing loss in the upper...

    Meditation Practice to Deal With Tinnitus Suffering

    Then perhaps you should simply use the T as your main object. That would be the traditional vipassana approach. Face the pain or irritation head on and use it and the feelings that come along with it as your object. I'm doing something similar to nada yoga, so I actually use my T as the main...

    40 Years with Tinnitus

    I don't have a figure on that but let's say I can almost always hear it through most noise. Not because it's louder so much as the fact that it occupies frequencies that I don't hear very well. The shower kills it, but that's about the only thing that does. It's a high frequency hissing sound...

    Hearing Aids

    I asked my audiologist the same thing since my T is mainly on the right ear, which also has the most significant upper frequency loss and she said that you should get a pair for better balance and orientatioin.

    Hearing Aids

    Lots of stuff to read here, 15 pages! I'm not even halfway through but I'll jump right in anyway :) My T is of the consistent kind, it's a constant high pitched sound. I've basically had it all my life but it's gotten more noticeable over the past ten years or so, probably as my hearing has...

    40 Years with Tinnitus

    41 years is so long that, well basically I don't miss any silence because I've never really experienced. In a way that makes it easier. If I got the T I have now at the mature age of 47 I'd probably freak out. Now, it's one of the most familiar sounds I know. Most likely I'd freak out if it...

    40 Years with Tinnitus

    I think it started with a mild concusion and that I started noticing the sound when I was about 6 years old.Taht's 41 years ago so it's hard to remember exactly. Of course I've done things since then that weren't all that helpful. Like sitting in front of the speakers when my friend's punk rock...
